Hacked bridges/inclines PSA

[BalloonFight]

Thank you for the info! I definitely wouldn't consider using hacked items (even though going over the incline / bridge limit would be amazing), as I don't want to risk any chance of ruining my file. That is a *huge* negative though. Redd's appearance is one of the most fun things in the game lol

I would think, if you're able to hack in more bridges and inclines, you could also hack in all the art that you want, real or fake, so Redd not showing up wouldn't really affect you. Or maybe you could even hack the game and force Redd to appear if you just really wanted to see him. But maybe that's not the case. I don't hack, and I don't want to, so I don't know what all it's able to do.

I think this is more for people who bought the extra inclines/bridges off of those who hacked them in. Of course I wouldn’t suggest hacking or buying these weird hacked items.

How do you buy inclines or bridges from other people? Is that another hacked thing? If so, then that changes everything, and I completely understand about warning people not to get them!

It’s the bridge/incline markers hacked in and placed on the ground (something that can’t happen via normal gameplay).

I wonder what'll happen to the hacked bridges/inclines after an update? Would they be permanent or suddenly disappear?

i really think the prob is that the game is saved on local state and manipulation is inevitable. Some of these exploits are very alarming because it's surprisingly simple and that it was able to pass through QA before releasing it to the public. It also alarm that they have to patch out really small bugs like the mermaid DIY learning capabilities.

How does the number of inclines/bridges in your town (or simply having a hacked include/bridge in your town) affect NPCs?

Also I had no idea about the limit of 8, I've got all the inclines and bridges I need so ig I never hit that limit.

Yikes. I feel bad for the people who learned the hard way about these. Ty even though I’m not interested in hacking items.

 

[FireNinja1]

yeah, i'm glad i don't buy hacked things, this is why lmao

Good point, forgot about that.

Read the spoiler in post 13 -- I don't understand the full workings of it myself since I'm not involved with datamining / dissecting actual game code / etc., but it looks like adding hacked inclines and bridges manipulates values that are tied to Redd spawns in some form. (On an unrelated note, this is how an MtG speedrunner was caught cheating; he manipulated the spawn rates of desirable things, which affected the spawn rates of more common, less desirable items. Moral of the story is don't do stuff to your system unless you fully understand the consequences)

Ah okay, I missed that post. That's interesting, I guess it's a good thing I never even once considered getting an extra incline/bridge lol
