FLOWER DISASTER ! ? CORRUPTED GAME! ? PLEASE HELP!

[debinoresu]

I really think its just an error with tting, not a glitch. maybe you accidentally tted to late/early in another day while changing the system clock? because it doesnt seem like a glitch, more like you went through 2 days without watering flowers. try watering them today and seeing if it persists tomorrow. if it doesn't, its safe to assume it was a weird accident with tting. this stuff gets confusing.

 

[ALLCAPS]

I've seen your post before edit man, chill. You want proof, I'll show you proof.

Entering game and doing all the things I have already done, posting pictures on this thread still.

WORSE MISSING/WILT HYBRID THAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

Today right time with new character file.

Yesterday (today) with mayor. Made after the above situation.

OTHER THINGS I'VE MENTIONED ON THE TEXT

Yesterday (today) as Mayor. The mail thing, weed and some wilts. Image alone doesn't prove anything, though.

Another missing in Yesterday (today). Again, image alone doesn't prove anything.

I wish I had taken a photo yesterday of the flowers all setted up and nice… Unfortunately I don't have that. These are only a few photos, and I'm trying to provide more.

I'm aware that few photos might now explain the situation entirely, but I'm willing repeat this process and take more photos.

Hmm, hold on. I'm thinking you may have accidentally TT'd a day more when you TT'd backwards here:

then began do island hunting and campsite, until about 22:00 pm (time traveled without breaking any temporal rules, as if last save 2:10 and new time travel and new save 2:09) Saved game and changed console hour to right time.

When you say campsite, what does that mean? You resetted for another camper? Played with your camper? Used camping method when beetle hunting? Because you said you watered your flowers before you did this, and it takes only a minimum of one day of not being watered for flowers to wilt without beautiful town ordinance. There must have been a day unaccounted for when you TT'd backwards.

because

Checked out the news thing, and there was a Timmy and Tommy rare item post that WAS NOT THERE PREVIOUSLY, BUT DATING 2 DAYS AGO (29).

Of this. It tells us that you may have TT'd to (29) at least once. Then you changed the clock to normal time with the system clock, which the game counted as you going 2 days forward.

Have you tried going back to the exact time you left the game? o: You can tell you're in the exact time you left if your flowers aren't wilted and your blue roses are sparkling like they're watered.

 

[Yui Z]

That's a big wall of text you have there >.> The beautiful town ordinance may have stopped it? Otherwise I haven't seen something like this happen before.

 

[Cudon]

I really dunno how to help but there are a couple things I can mention :

Having a different date / time ingame and on 3DS makes no difference when TTing using the 3DS time. If you go forwards 3 days using the 3DS clock, the game will go forward 3 days. How much you change the date affects the game, not the actual date

When you enter as new account the placement of stuff like flowers will change.. When making new characters to check campsites and such it will create a RNG version of your town, which allows you to check for campsites and to see what flowers have bred. This is why every time you make a new account different flowers disappear.

You probably weren't aware of the first fact, which might have led you to TT one day too much.

Hmm, let's try to see this again…

Yesterday (30 of March) I began my ACNL routine doing the new character file trick, i.e. creating a new character every time to see if something changes in your town, such as TnT updates and campsiters. I was looking for a campsite, then when I got one, followed the process of making that character a resident and then deleting it, and beginning the day with my mayor. (Campsite and changes are still there, but your new created character are not since it got deleted).
I played, watered flowers etc. Traded with players, wrote the time when the transation finished, saved and quit. When I wanted to go back to the game without losing time, I did change the console time to one minute above the last time i've played, the one I did wrote. Played normally, cached bugs, didn't time travel or do anything else, saved and logged off.

Today I log on creating a new character, as the anterior day. Noticed the errors, then quit without saving and time traveled to an estimated time of my last play time, or above one hour of that estimation or so. Noticed the errors. Quit without saving and time traveled one day more (29) to see if I had played yesterday(30) in a wrong day. Future day flowers are still there, errors are still there. Went back to today and normal time.


Also, I did just take those pictures now, this was not when I did discover all this fuss.

Hey Dinomates, good to see you again! But about the topic, I just didn't get exactly what you meant with this

(…) which might have led you to TT one day too much.

"one day too much" Are you talking about now or some other occasion?
In this case, we have 3 days going on, in which all of them the flowers got watered. Errors began appearing in the last of them (today), and "spread" to the other previous days, with apparently copied info (flowers that I got in one day were on the previous (tt'd) day).

 

[VioletPrincess]

Primrose, I would be really glad if you could help me! If it makes you more comfortable, I can pay for the flowers. But to see that, I need to really be courageous and enter "today with right time" with my mayor (which seems to be the only solution to carry on haha,,,ha)

I'll see what kind of flowers did disappear, but I'm seeking to replace only hybrids, since they are my biggest lost.

Yep that is all I have on my beach is Hybrids. I have 3 towns packed full. I have been breeding them in my daughters town.

 

[debinoresu]

is there anyone living with you that could do that to your game?

 

[Straw hat]

HELLO EVERYONE THIS IS GETTING A LITTLE CONFUSING HAHA​

Sorry for this whole time traveling, disappearing? flower?. thing. Stuff is getting a little confusing right now with so many information, but again I'd like to thank you all for trying to help and expressing your opinion and thoughts.

That's a big wall of text you have there >.> The beautiful town ordinance may have stopped it? Otherwise I haven't seen something like this happen before.

Hahahahaha,,,ha,,,h,,a,,,,, i know. But it's needed if we want to solve this thing? Also yeah, the Beautiful Town Ordinance might have stopped it, but I did not have it at the time, haha?

Yeah, this is one of the things I might end up doing? Maybe it really was too much TTing and so, shrugs. And no, there's no one who could do this to my game.

Yep that is all I have on my beach is Hybrids. I have 3 towns packed full. I have been breeding them in my daughters town.

Oh, cool! I'll pm you so we can see what we can do. Again, thank you! !

I know how to reset for campers, but ok. So you're at March 30 at this point.

I played, watered flowers etc. Traded with players, wrote the time when the transation finished, saved and quit. When I wanted to go back to the game without losing time, I did change the console time to one minute above the last time i've played, the one I did wrote. Played normally, cached bugs, didn't time travel or do anything else, saved and logged off.

Still at March 30 (?). But why did you do the bolded part, and more importantly why only one minute? ; I'm curious as to the point of it. What time was it exactly?

Doing this wrong, if I recall, can count as anytime backward and the game can mistake you moving backwards for one whole day. You last played at March 30, 22:00pm, then changed the time to March 30, 21:59pm?

Today I log on creating a new character, as the anterior day. Noticed the errors, then quit without saving and time traveled to an estimated time of my last play time, or above one hour of that estimation or so. Noticed the errors. Quit without saving and time traveled one day more (29) to see if I had played yesterday(30) in a wrong day. Future day flowers are still there, errors are still there. Went back to today and normal time.

Also, I did just take those pictures now, this was not when I did discover all this fuss.

All this tells me is you made an error in time traveling at least once. You time traveled between lots of days and saw that the errors are still in (29) which means you have been to (29) at least once, hence why you have that notice from Nooklings. In one of your TTs you have saved in (29) and have not watered your flowers prior to going back to the real time thus the missing/wilting flowers.

"one day too much" Are you talking about now or some other occasion?
In this case, we have 3 days going on, in which all of them the flowers got watered. Errors began appearing in the last of them (today), and "spread" to the other previous days, with apparently copied info (flowers that I got in one day were on the previous (tt'd) day).

No, um, TTing anytime backwards will always count as a day forward. So going to a previous day would just be a "new day" and so the "future stuff" will still be there. Regardless of whether you use in-game or system clock.

Example: You planted hybrids on March 31. When you TT back to Jan 31, 2011 the hybrids will still be there.

Sorry, I'm really trying to help by getting to the bottom of this, but there's too much and too less information to go on. :C

 

[Snow]

I think ALLCAPS may be correct that this is an inadvertent TT accident. I'm a little confused about the times you're giving in the original post -- it looks like you were jumping back and forth within a single calendar day -- but did you ever go back before 6 am? The New Leaf day does not change over at midnight, but at 6 am; so every time you cross the 6 am "border" and log in you are resetting your day. It looks like you played normally but then went back to the early morning hours? In which case you actually went back a full day, since the day begins at 6am.

And as other people have said, the problems moving around is totally normal. Everything that spawns at 6 am (wilt, weeds, gem rock, fossils, etc) will be different everytime if you are logging in with a new file.

I don't think it's corruption, just a tt accident. But definitely, put the beautiful town ordinance on if you tt in the future!

wait, what

 

[Cudon]

You might have accidentally TT'd one day too much because of not being aware of the change in the date mattering, that's what I meant

Also I second the 6 am -> next day thing. You might have just triggered a new day by accident and then TT'd

Sorry if i'm making this confusing, and?. confusing you too! ): Uh, let's see here?.


Still on March 30, I did that to save up time, because of Re-Tail working hours. I did first time travel (with no errors) March 30, and my last time written down is 19:47, meaning that I saved and quit the game at that time. If I wanted to play again, I would time travel to 19:48 (march 30), trying to not break any temporal issue and this sort of thing.

All this tells me is you made an error in time traveling at least once. You time traveled between lots of days and saw that the errors are still in (29) which means you have been to (29) at least once, hence why you have that notice from Nooklings. In one of your TTs you have saved in (29) and have not watered your flowers prior to going back to the real time thus the missing/wilting flowers.

I can see your point, but I did not save at any point after I discovered the error! And, still at the first time i've discovered it (31), some flowers were already wilted and missing, and I did water them more then once the following day (30).

 

[crystalmilktea]

I also agree that it's probably a time travelling accident... mainly because I don't think a corrupted game file would only affect the flowers. I think if your game was corrupted you wouldn't be able to play at all...

 

[Darumy]

Does the 6:00AM threshold still apply when you change by 3DS system? This is counting anything it registers as. I'm assuming it does.

I don't think you can avoid the wilting but using birthday invitations might be an example. No matter how many times they have sent you the mail already, if you land on any day within the invite period while going backwards, the system resets for that particular thing and they send you the invitation again, because going backwards puts you on a day you makes you logically seem like it was the first time you loaded up the game on that day in order to "make sense" of the lost time. Maybe your skip was counted in as two days due to this and the day you're loading right now is the third, when wilting sets in.

I...am probably not right haha! The best explanation would be a time traveling mistake. If you do not TT using Isabelle in game, you never have to log into a character in order to change right? Have you had any other weird issues before?

There's just a lot of room for the system to misinterpret things but then they'd happen more often and I've never quite heard of this @_@;

I believe the day changes after you update the 3DS clock. So no need to log in.

 

[Straw hat]

Evening, mates.​

At the very end, since it was probably my one and only solution, I did go back to today (31), right time, and started the game normally with my mayor, encoring all flower losses.
What some of you guys suggested, that all that TTing might have counted as extra days was most probably true, since I found about 4 weeds and 2 clovers, and the rest y'all know.

I was confused and tired at that point, but now I really do think it was a TTing mistake of some sort, that ended up lending various things. For every action there's a response, I guess.

Thanks for everyone trying to help and showing their opinions, once more time. It was confusing, but also interesting, hehe!


If someone is willing to sell hybrids, please contact me, since now I'm looking for more than a bunch.
