Data corruption?

[Pumpkinhead]

Hi AC-Fans!

I have seen some videos and posts about people, who got their savefiles corrupted in Animal Crossing New Leaf for no reason.
How can this happen?

Anyone have an idea?

Here are the primary causes:

Turning off your 3DS while saving
Dirty or damaged game cartridges
Defective copies (some were produced poorly)

I hear the digital copies are more prone to corruption than physical copies.

also dupeing items (you shouldn't do that anyway) and closing the game while your town is loading

Thank you for the information^^
Is cutting the connection during a visit also dangerous? Because I do this sometimes, when someone steals flowers or items.

That should not affect your game.

It's only dangerous while someone is on a train. When they are currently in town, not just arriving or leaving, it's safe.

This is kinda stupid. Because some visitors have connection problems. This happens sometimes ._.
