Have you hacked/edited your town, or would?

i've been hacking since 2016. i don't regret it; i've played the game up to its ultimate limits thanks to hacking.
 
I haven't hacked my town in any way so far and I'm not really planning to. I've enjoyed playing without hacks so I don't have a need for such stuff. :)
 
Since I can't live with the thought of Time Traveling even, hacking wouldn't be anything for me. Eventhough I find some of the towns they do with hacks amazing. I'll just enjoy it without hacks. :)
 
I’ll just buy another game to hack in. Put Windmills everywhere, Have Orange Pansies, Villagers aligned in a swatstika symbol to scare dream visitors... also water everywhere so you would have to swim in an endless sea of jellyfish. All villagers are monkeys and then there is Coco who is in the middle of the swatstika.

It’s more of a “suffering” town.
 
I've only hacked a few things, and by hacked, I mean poof in items with a powersave. I can't actually edit my map, villagers, or anything like that. I've never used it for bells, meow coupons, or anything, because I really enjoy earning my own stuff. Sometimes I'll clone items for people, like my endless fruit baskets, gold tools and ABDs, but that's pretty much the extent of my hacking. Cloning and warping items in.
I used my powersave for some blue roses, but that was before I knew powersaved flowers could never breed hybrids. After I learned that, I got rid of all of them and bred legitimate ones. Now ALL my flowers are legit.

I don't typically poof in items or clone for myself though. Usually just for friends. Hacking only takes away as much as you allow it to. I don't allow it to take any of the fun and challenge away from me. :D

IF I could/knew how to hack and edit my map, I'd change my police station to the other type. Either that or totally get rid of it. And perhaps, move 1 pesky rock right in front of my house. But all in all, not that big of a deal to live with. xD

Edgy.
 
I would love to learn to hack if I could, some of the hacked towns look so cool! I don?t really have the time, though. If it was easy I?d try it!
I?d definitely do it on a new town, and not mess with the ones I already have, I love them too much
 
I have never hacked and do not intend to as I consider it cheating. Nintendo would of added editing maps if they believed players should do so.
 
The only thing I would use it for would be to unlock PWPs and move villagers out. Everything else I would wanna do on my own. I don’t really like the look of overly hacked towns. They’re so cluttered. It’s like they think they have to do every hacking trick ever just because they can. I see the merits of hacking, but it kind if seems more trouble than it is worth. Plus you risk bricking your ds.
 
Nope never have and never will. Only time I sorta considered it was when my second town only had one good spot for a third bridge but a rock was perfectly in the way. I wanted to do anything to get rid of the rock haha. Eventually I just let it go though and just use two bridges in my town. The river is rather short in that town anyways so really 2 bridges are enough.
 
Nope, I like my non-hacked town.

The only "hacking" I'm planning to do is that I found a mod/hack that allows me to change the hourly music from Newleaf to the Gamecube version which I've always said the only thing I miss and like more about Gamecube AC is the music....so, can't wait to do that :3
 
No, but if I did I would only do it to rearrange villager houses. Plot resetting / path resetting is such a pain.
 
Nope and nope.Hacking in a game like Animal Crossing has always seemed like overkill to me.There are a lot of players out there that have put together some amazing towns without hacking so if a person has that sort of patience and ability hacking is kind of unnecessary.
 
I never had my town hacked before, but I did try to do that, but I never really understand how the process works, like moving files into places on my sd card, but possibly maybe in the next few years, i might try to do that sometime.

But, I always wanted to get more public work projects that I wanted in my town, and villagers, but so far I work hard on my town, and it is at a good point, but not completely finished yet. But I do have 3 red roses that are hacked in my town, by someone who as a hacked save slot that I'm friends with on ACNL, and now I'm wishing to get rid of them, because I can't pick them up. :<

I'm on the same boat as you. I'd love to hack or edit my town, but I got a physical copy on an updated 3DS system and no clue how to hack anyway. I don't like any of the rock placements in my town, they make it impossible to add pwp in places that would better suit them.

I also hate negative zones that don't allow you to plant any trees or bushes (or public work projects), like right next to houses. I'd love to allign the side of my home with hydrangea bushes, but nope. I'd like to add pwp without being told that everything is an obstacle and I need 100 spaces on all sides to plot the project. :(

I also love seeing the creative ways hackers decorate their town too, like adding weeds/clovers or rocks inside of ponds to make it look more realistic.

I also envy the beauty of most hacked. :c

This sounds great. I'm not much of a fan of ACNL's ost with few exceptions.
 
No, I've never hacked and don't plan to. I enjoy my non-hacked towns and feel that I can do pretty much anything I want within the confines of the game. Would I occasionally like to move a rock or place a tree or bush a little closer to the cliff? Sure, but I don't need to do those things. I find ways to work around them and I still end up with a town I love.
 
No, I would never. Part of Animal Crossing for me is just the unpredictability of it all, how things aren't going to be the way you would think, that just makes the game charming for me. I think that hacking everything kind of just takes away a lot of the adventure in the game.
