Clover strategy help please!

[salvagedstardust]

Hello! I would like to make a clover path in my town, and I was hoping to get some tips on four leaf clover growth!

I don't have beautiful town ordinance on, which I think is the correct first step (correct me if wrong!) so a few clovers have been popping up over the past week. I haven't picked any of them.

Does the in-game luck system impact whether the clovers that spawn are four-leaf? By total coincidence (and luck!), I've gotten the lucky black cat and the lucky gold cat, and I've put them in my house in hopes they'll help.

Should I leave the clovers and wait until there's lots to pick them and see how many are four leaf, or should I be picking them every day as they pop up to find out & start hoarding right away?

Thanks so much!

i think the chance of a clover being lucky is something like 1:25 ;;; not sure how accurate that ratio of lucky:unlucky that is, but it seems to be pretty correct. and i don't think in-game luck matters to clover spawning...

what i do to get more clovers: i have a side town that is for cycling (wouldn't recommend doing this in your main town), and so i tt a year forward and back- this makes roughly 60 weeds (the little shoot ones, not clovers) appear, along with an unspecified amount of clovers (clovers, even if they're unlucky, don't count as weeds, so whenever i ask leif how many weeds i have in town, he always just counts the number of sprout-weeds. clovers don't get counted so i never know how many have spawned, but it's a lot). i pick up all the clovers (feels like maybe 60 of them), and usually get around 0-4 lucky ones.

tldr: it's kind of pretty hard to get enough lucky clovers to path a town or a part of town, even if you do what i do (which is to essentially trash my town to get, like, 2 clovers... that's why i use my cycling one haha), so for my main town, i usually just buy clovers from people here on the forum (how THEY get their clovers, i don't know ;; maybe by hacking or just by doing a TON of weeding).

hope your clover path works out nicely!

This was lots of help, thank you so much!!

Don't even try getting them yourself.....that will take FOREVER

Buy them here, don't kill your town

You could also just leave the non-4 leaf clovers that spawn in the middle of your path! It'd save some time (and/or money if you decide to buy)

Oh almost forgot to mention, there are some QR codes that look like the clovers that you could use!
