How do you get bushes, (not from the island) in your town?
Does the town tree grow by days played or hours played?

Town tree growth is based on days and hours played.
Shrubs- Are sold in the garden shop once it has merged with Nooklings

I keep getting a spotpass notification on my ACNL icon on the home screen, but when I get in the game, check the post office and the HH showcase, nothing. Why do I keep getting these? .-.

How far ahead of your house can you place a public works? I think I made a mistake and put mine too close to the river... It would be perfect to have a bridge there, but Isabelle won't let me. ;__;

I have quite a few questions..

1. How can I get paintings?
2. Can you have more than one town law at a time?
3. Lets say I'm planting a ton of tries in the same area. How many squares/spaces/etc. need to be in between each tree so they grow properly?

1. Crazy Redd, his tent appears once in a while in your Plaza
He tends to have fakes, there are guides to see whats real and what is not
2. No, only one at a time. You can remove a law for free, but enacting another costs 20,000 bells.
These processes take until the next day to go through, 6AM in game.
3. If you can walk all the way around the tree, then its fine. Keep in mind not every spot will allow a tree to grow.

What do you do when your ACNL save file goes corrupt? (I don't have this problem, but it's of great concern to me)

Then try to save every time you make pretty much a lot of bells. On the digital manual (3DS Home Menu), it said that YOU CANNOT BACK UP A DIGITAL COPY, SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

If you have the digital, you can insert your SD card into your computer and save a copy of your game data onto your computer as a back-up. You'll have to do this often, probably weekly, even daily or everytime you save if you're truly that concerned and don't want to risk losing even the smallest of game time you've put in.

 

[Punchyleaf]

Or you can use the new digital save backup the 3ds update implemented the other day where you just press a button and back it up. No need for a computer or anything

EDIT: Also, if I have a friend visit club LOL on Saturday with me to listen to K.K to get the air check, will I be the only one to get it or will my friend get it as well?

I have a question about Spotpass notifications. I had a blue spotpass light on my animal crossing icon on my 3DS but Im not sure what caused it. I first thought it was something in the HH showcase but nope. I checked the post office and it wasnt a new gift or anything.... Does anyone know what caused this?

The only other think I can think of that might have to do with the internet is maybe a villager moved out of one of my friends towns that I visited and now they want to move to my town and are now stored in backup or something? I dunno this is just a long shot guess. My town is full anyways...

Any ideas?

 

[Punchyleaf]

Peachk33n I asked the exact same question on the last page, no answer yet xD

 

[Peachk33n]

I hope some one answers then! Now there are two of us! lol

Is thee a specific time/date that Gracie Grace comes by?

What is considered running in this game?
I've been reading that fully tilting the stick counts as running, but I'm not too sure about that.

I generally only use the stick to walk and I have yet to get any grass deterioration even while fully tilting it, so I think it only counts as running if you hold down B?

I just found Gulliver lying on my beach... I answered correctly his question and he recovered his memory, but that was it.
What did just happened? o_o
Does he comes once a week?

Edit: Now he is gone and he told me I was never going to see him again e_e

I don't know if it's once a week, but yes, he does come back. After you help him recover his memory he'll send you a souvenir in the mail the following day. Rinse and repeat.

Can tree stumps in the game disappear completely? How could I put public works in locations where the trees were cut down if the stumps are in the way?

Also, can I plant trees and flowers on the dirt patches where no grass goes?

My last question concerns the Night Owl ordinance. Do shops open later in the morning as a result of it? If so, by how many hours?

Thanks.

On their own? No, you dig up stumps with a shovel.
When placing Public Works, when asking Isabelle about a location, she tells you that any plants and anything buried underground that is in the way will be removed, this includes stumps.

Night Owl extends the hours of shops when they close by varying amounts, it does not affect when they open.
