Well have you?
If so, how long did it take to find it? I recently found my second copy of New Leaf and am SO happy! Now I can move stuff over to my town Citrine and give it a really big boost! Below is my story on when I lost my second copy. It's pretty lengthy, so I put it in a spoiler box. Enjoy if you read it!
So as some of you may or may not know, I own a second copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This copy has absolutely everything I have ever owned from my past town on it. I'm talking about money, furniture, hybrids, clothes, fruit...everything! It even has some stuff that my IRL friend (Yes, I have actual friends
) owns!
So one day I get on my laptop and explored the Interwebz, go to bed, come back the next day to find that the second copy is gone!
At first I was sort of panicky but calm, thinking I probably misplaced and I would find it soon. Did that happen? Nope! So then I actually started to panic ('cause if you couldn't already tell, I'm an addict on this game) and go through my bedroom, my brother and sisters's 3ds games, the living room, the draw with all the Wii U and 3DS games in it and I couldn't find it. I got sad and told my family if anyone sees it and it has my name on it, it's mine. My mum told me it's probably in my room (there's books and paper everywhere because my broken bookshelf got removed from there so there was a good chance it was in there) and once we clean the room up it will appear. I agreed with her and got on with my life for the next month, 2nd copy-less. (bad joke I know.)
It all changed today. I woke up at 5am needing to go to the toilet so I ran to to the toilet close to me, realized somebody had already used all of the toilet paper and quickly shuffled to the one outside of my living room. On my way I passed a chair used usually for reading a newspaper that has a small, black table next to it used for putting coffee next to it, small bowls wit biscuits in it, magazines and newspapers etc and saw a copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In my head I thought: It's probably my brother or sister's copy but it wouldn't hurt to check because you never know... But I really HAD TO GO so I continued my journey to the toilet, used it, and went back to bed. I was about to go back to sleep when I realized Hey! I had forgotten the copy. But you're so close to sleeping and it's nice and warm and comfy here! My brain argued with me. But I didn't listen so I got up, got the game and retreated to the still-warm covers off my bed.
I opened the case up, expecting to see an empty case but instead found it had a chip in it and the inside of the white cover had my name on it! I couldn't believe it! I hugged it to my chest but stopped - what if it was my case but not my copy of the game? I abandoned my thought of sleeping and whipped out my 3DSXL and took out my first copy of the game and quickly slotted in the mystery copy. I held my breathe as it loaded and found that it was in fact my 2nd copy! Finally! But here's the thing - I had originally had it on the dining table with my laptop on it. The black table it was on was opposite to where the black table was so you would have to walk to get there.
So how did it get from A to B? Did someone move it, did I place it there without knowing and forgot about it for a month? That couldn't be the case as (I checked) there wasn't a case there before this morning...well, there was one but that was my brother's and then he moved it. So how did it get there? Was it under some newspapers or something that I simply didn't check? Or did someone perhaps hide it and then place it there. Hmm I guess there's more investigating to do...but after breakfast. And moving my stuff over to my 1st copy.
