A Wild Bad Egg is here!
I time travel to get an 150/150 tree (I had reached beyond the 150 hours by now. Where is my life? \(♡o♡)/ Animal Crossing!) And I usaully do it a lot to get into winter, play holidays, and other stuff.

Yes... I do time travel and I love it. :] Time traveling makes the gaming experience fun for me. And... I like it when my villagers call me a time traveler. Kind of makes me feel like my character has a superpower. A long time ago... I had this idea of a character that was a time traveler. It would of been pretty cool if I had actually went for it, but that save file was gone for some reason and I had to start over completely. As sad as that was... I am happy with my new town and still currently building it up.

That train has sailed.
I do.
Quite a bit, because I work late, and sometines the day has ticked over, so I set it back.

yeah, i time travel. personally, i don't think i'd play animal crossing very often if time traveling weren't an option, going by real time isn't my thing. :/ plus i have pocket camp for that
i respect those that choose not to time travel ofc ahha, to each their own.

I gotta admit that I actually do, but only in the following situations:
-Breeding Hybrids Hybrids can be slow, and you can only get around 4 or 5 per day, so I time travel to make the whole process a lot faster (Though I still need lots of flowers to complete my gardens)
-Adjusting the TimeUsually I wake up at 7:00 am, and the first thing I do is play ACNL ('Till the summer vacations end lol), so I change the hour to 10:00 am so the shops are open
Catching specific bugsWhen I need a certain bug that only spawns, for example, at night, I change the hour to catch that bug. Same applies to when I go to the island to catch bugs and sharks.
-Accelerating Processes When a new villager has moved in and i cannot wait anymore to hang out with him, when I have completely paid a PWP, or simply when a new store is due to open in the next days, i change the days so I can get it all.
I try not to TT because it somewhat destroys the game's main point. However, sometimes the game can get a little slow so I can get things faster, but i dont like to because villagers move out (R.I.P. Cookie, Flurry, Poppy, Shep and Jitters)

I treat TT-ing the same way I treat using cheats in The Sims, if it's getting too frustrating/boring not to, then I just do it. I'd rather "cheat" to hold my interest, than stop playing because I got bored. That said, when I'm actually playing, I don't TT often.

On my first copy of the game back when it was released, I TTed a ton. Try not to now. It can be tempting on weekends working on landscaping (e.g. needing more flowers or wanting to see how plant layouts turn out.)
Other than that, I find ac a relaxing game to play at its own pace.

Currently, I?m time travelling back to the same day every time until I find a new villager to move in. I don?t want someone random to move in from streetpass or the void until I move someone in myself! But I always time travel. I don?t get to play often and there are certain things I want to get done before I have to go back to my real life lol :?D

I sometimes time travel back a few hours if I haven't been on all day but want to visit the shops or do anything during the day. Other than that I rarely, if ever, do. I find if I time travel too much the game stops being fun quickly.
