Have you hacked/edited your town, or would?

[SmoochsPLH]

Never have, but I'd like to. I think my system is too far upgraded though.

I'd have to get a second game and put some practice into hacking before I ever mess with my main town though. I'd love to get rid of the huge amount of dirt patches that my town started out with (you can't get rid of the starter one's unfortunately :c).

I wouldn't want to hack my town. I have nothing against hacking in games, but Animal Crossing is one of those games that I think is most rewarding played legitimately. I feel like hacking it would be fun at first, but then get boring after a while. It would also make it much less immersive. I like to feel like my town is a real place (even if I know it's not), and hacking might make that a lot more difficult.

 

[Velvet Hearts]

Nope and I'm way too stupid to even try (^_^

 

[lilbil]

i had hacked my wildworld game on numerous occasions when i was younger, im only sort of ashamed to say that i constantly used the weeds into bells hack in my game, i became very rich very quickly and i reckon i probably spent too little time playing my game because of that. i have since restarted on that cartridge and now the only hack i use is a glitch to remove weeds, as i am lazy and just want a pretty town haha.

I used the action replay and the same hack on my WW game! It took the fun out of playing for me too though so I ended up deleting the town. I don't use Action replay hacks anymore but they were a fun novelty as a kid. The game becomes way too boring if I don't have a loan to pay off or have to get money to buy things for the catalogue.

 

[Celinalia]

no i haven't and i won't i also prefer non-hacked dreamtowns but that's just my opinion

 

[Spooky.]

I haven't but I'm not against it. It's more satisfying to accomplish something yourself when possible, but not every option is possible. Sometimes plot resetting takes too long. So.

 

[DoctorPaine]

I would love to be able to hack, if only to clear some really bad rocks, or copy my fantastic map layouts so I could reset without getting a really junky setup xD

 

[SleepingLiving]

No. I dislike the towns with clovers and trees in the rivers, its ugly and unrealistic.

 

[John Wick]

No. I dislike the towns with clovers and trees in the rivers, its ugly and unrealistic.

I agree there.

I've seen towns with bamboo in the ponds and it was hideous!

 

[skeletontape]

I haven't, but I've thought about it. Too scared to do it for my main town, but I have a lot of little concept towns that I wish I could create with, you know, sinking all my time and effort into creating a new town from scratch. So if I did ever hack it would be just for those types of fun "side" towns, to optimize the terrain, place desired villagers in desired spots, get PWPs, easily decorate my interiors, that sort of thing.

 

[Sig]

i have, and i kinda regret it because now that i can just get anything i want to the game isnt as fun for me. but also, ive been playing it for nearly 7 years now and i unlocked everything i was able to unlock already. i think that if i ever reset my town ill not hack it, but i have 5 cartridges so if i wanted one specifically for hacking i could just use one of those. in my cycling town i have hacked that but only to make the town more accessable. im not opposed to hacking, but i think its like playing minecraft with cheats on; its lazy, illegitimate, and your progress doesnt mean as much, but its fun

 

[LaFra]

Nope, never hacked. I prefer to keep all "original" such as the game is supposed to be played.

 

[duckykate]

Yes, I used the save editor to move buildings around and stuff. I put trees, flowers, and weeds in the water to make it look like an overgrown forest. Lots of bamboo in the water and I think it looks beautiful. I also moved my villagers houses in a straight line. I didn't hack myself bells or items though cos I already had everything, plus it wouldn't be fun.

here's a pic of my town : )

 

[Leedzie]

I've been thinking of looking into this lately, specifically because there are a couple of small changes that would make my life soooo much easier in my town. I have a pond that I'd like removed and another I just need slightly moved, a neighbor whose house I wish was just a tad lower on the map, and I'd like to get rid of like half my rocks (I have a ton!). Those are really the only changes I want, I'm not interested in using it to get items or bells because that's kind of the point of playing the game. I just want my map to flow more easily!

 

[Peg]

Nope--I have never hacked, or was interested in hacking any of my Animal Crossing: New Leaf towns. Just not my thing.

 

[Hanif1807]

I've once hacked my town but then returned back to the original one because making your own dream town in an instant wasn't rewarding at all

 

[unhacking]

i haven't hacked my town myself but i had someone add and remove some things to my town that i couldn't naturally (e.g. removing rocks, adding clovers to my rivers, putting cedar trees on the south half of my town). that was months ago, though, and my town has changed drastically since everything i've done since then has been done without hacks. some of the hacked stuff still remains though

 

[Cheryll]

Nope, I can't even without maybe breaking it. I would just...move a few obstacles (like this rock >_>) and maybe give a few items but that's it. I wouldn't do serious landscaping changing or go to the island. Just minor things.

 

[KlopiTackle]

No, I don't wanna hack my 3DS either. It sounds too risky, honestly.
The natural look looks better anyway, why would you want plants in your river?
