So...one of my villagers asked me to bury his timecapsule. I did, and mentioned to him that I buried it. He just said "awesome, I will tell you when to dig it up again"....and....now it's just...buried there. How long is it supposed to be buried there? I always think it's a fossil and try to get it xD haha

just leave it. it'll disappear eventually and then they'll ask you to dig it up.

just remember where it is. i usually just plant it near their house.

oh no...I just buried it somewhere random. Now I have to dig up the place, lol. Good tip though, going to bury it next to their house next time. thanks

Another question:

Does someone know a complete Cyrus guide? I just unlocked him yesterday and I would like to know the what the colors look like etc. (like, gothic yellow etc...how does that look exactly?)

And when you redesign an item, can it be re-redesigned after that?

I haven't yet gotten access to the second store upgrade (and to my understanding the catalog either). In this case, if I was to add an item to my inventory and trade it away, would it count towards my catalog once it's unlocked or does it only count the ones after the catalog is unlocked?

There are probably pics somewhere on the net. I can't give them to you personally without running into talks about copyright and blah.

But yes, you can redesign an item repeatedly as long as you have the money for it.

Yes. the catalog is written as soon as you start the game. you just can't access it until you get to a catalog machine.

thanks Zen, you've been a great help :) (arigatou gozaimas! ^.^)

Guess I'll have to search the web for pictures. I tried it but couldn't find any, but I'll try again :)
 
When you see a balloon (present) in the sky can you catch it with a net? If so, how? I've tried before but I couldn't get it.

Wait till the balloon flies near the edge of the cliff. It will lower a bit, low enough for you to hit it with the net and pop the balloon :)

How to fish sharks and more rare fishes?

Everytime I try, they flee right when I press Y.

You just have to hit Y faster. Try fishing with the sound on, and close your eyes. It's easier to react to the "plop" sound then to watch the bobber. It takes some practice though

Does putting paths down on ground prevent grass degradation in the spots they occupy?

Yep. ;)

Thank you Kimmy27! And I have another question. How do villagers request public work projects? I really want the police station but how do I, I guess, get the villagers to ask for it?

There is no specific way, sadly. It's all random. They'll light up with an exclamation mark and run up and tell you they want a specific project, and tell you that they'll notify Isabelle.
 
I'm at CT island and it keeps telling me my waters are too choppy to go back home?

That has something to do with your internet connection, try moving closer to your router or moving it closer to you.
You can also try doing a quick tour and then trying to go home again. Also, the tours will save your progress on CT, so you can just flick the wifi switch after that and anything in your box should be at your town.

This was a long standing rumor, patterns DO NOT prevent grass wear.
Unless you run everywhere, all the time, everyday, your grass wear will be minimal.

But even in the worse case scenario, grass wear in New Leaf is nowhere near as bad as City Folk.

I'm going to stop you right here. Patterns do prevent grass wear in this game.

It's most noticeable in winter. I have patterns everywhere in my town and I run everywhere (which is why I have patterns).

I have patterns in my Japanese town and I always run on them. When I removed the patterns, the grass was completely gone and I had a perfect dirt path where the patterns had been.

They prevent grass wear for me.
