Glitched hats

[maarowak]

i saw many reports in a FB group i'm in of having the same issue but with the house plant set. they would show up as invisible in leif's shop, and putting them in your house/interacting with them would give the same message (an error has occurred etc)

the solution was, sadly, exchange the cartridge all together. they resetted many times but every time someone gave them a house plant, it would be invisible in their house, and if they progressed enough to unlock leif's shop inside the TIY (?), the house plant part would always have an invisible plant.
i also saw that in the same way but with some specific plants, pothos, or caladium, for example.


we never could find out what happened, but their cartridge was definitely faulty. can't remember if any of them had the digital version

sorry this wasn't of much help, but that's all i know about the issue (or at least a similar one) ): wishing you best of luck!

I doubt that resetting would change anything. The missing lines of code would probably still remain missing in the cart.

Hey, thanks about all this info you shared.
It's impossible for us to get the cartridge replaced here so I wish we'd find a fix for this somehow.

I sort of figured it would be like that.
I just hope to find out what caused it to avoid it from happening again (if we buy another acnl cartridge).

maybe contact Nintendo? They might have some solution about faulty cartridges, but I don't think you'll be able to save your town ):

That's a very strange glitch, I'm sorry I've no suggestions that haven't already been put here but I hope you can get it fixed.

 

[AlexanderPie]

I agree, contact Nintendo.

I would buy the hat and leave it on to be a joke heh

 

[Keylime]

If you contact nintendo, I'm curious as to what they'd say

 

[FireNinja1]

Contacting Nintendo would be a good idea, but I'm not sure what they can offer to you. Well, you have noting to lose, but be prepared to wait for at least a week.

Nintendo is pretty cool. Last year my friend's 3DS was stolen so she lost a bunch of games and Nintendoo gave them back to her. I hear they recently changed their policy on stolen goods, but since it's a corrupted cartridge maybe they'll exchange it for you?

 

[al-tirah]

I think we'll have to tell Nintendo about this. Thanks everyone!

I'll keep this thread open for a while coz I'm still hoping someone who knows a fix might see this. *fingers crossed*

Have you possibly tried purchasing the digital version of the game? This may possibly fix the game.
