Have you hacked/edited your town, or would?

[DaCoSim]

I have not hacked anything in my town. I literally spent months creating a perfect tow of my 10 villagers. If I could hack, I'd honestly only do 3 things. Move the damn rock that puts 3 spaces between my 9th and 10th villagers (all the rest have 2 spaces between them), move my coffe shop down just a tad to match up with my retail, and better center my campsite. Alas, I'd be super afraid to try a hack as much time as I e spent on my town.

I haven't, but that's only because I'm not sure how to go about it and I'm just a bit worried about ruining my town in some way? Is that possible with hacking? I've heard of people having problems with powersaves before. Just makes me a bit wary
I might give it a go on my spare copy but I'll probably get somebody else to do it so I know it's done properly.
I've seen some really great looking hacked towns

Whoa, that would have been useful if I was still in time, thanks!

Sadly my 3DS practically updates on its own, forces me to do it, because everytime I tried to deny it said some functions won't be avalaible anymore until I update, like friend-list and internet surfing So I had to do it...

 

[Kurashiki]

no, i think that hacked towns look really pretty but i wouldn't risk damaging my game/3DS

 

[Pinkbell]

No I dont want to hurt my town or my ds :c

 

[mintellect]

I've definetly considered it. I've even tried it once, but it didn't work out so well.

How it didn't work? What happened?

I would like to just to do something dumb like put a public works in the middle of the lake. lol I do glitch often in my town with the net. It does some weird stuff if you get behind the buildings on main street. I somehow got under my town once and while running around I saw random flower petals. When I got out of glitch land, I found I killed a few of my flowers in town. It was weird.

 

[Awesomeness1230]

Nope but I may plan to in the future if I can get round the update problem

 

[Tracer]

I've hacked in the past- but stopped because I updated lolol. Kind of glad I'm not able to anymore, as I'd probably accidentally mess up my game being the klutz I am. I went to town with the hacks, but if it were available to me again I'd try to use it for minor things only. Like moving all the rocks & such.

 

[Mothership]

I haven't and never will. But, sometimes I wish I could "poof" certain rocks away.

I hacked my town!

Like some other user's have mentioned previously, one of the many things that I really enjoy about Animal Crossing is the customization aspect, such as landscaping, public works projects, decorating, and pretty much making up an entire town based on your imagination and personality.

After having played my town un-hacked for several years, I kept running into obstacles like many Animal Crossers face during landscaping, like that one annoying permanent rock that completely messes up your town/path layout, the fact that you can't put more than 13 shrubs in a connected line, or not being able to pick where your villagers plot their houses.

After joining the Animal Crossing Tumblr community and seeing how hacking is much more popular and less judged there than it is here in Bell Tree, I read up on hacking my town and successfully was able to customize my town with NO obstacles. I know what the majority consensus is on hacking in this forum, and in all honesty, that is your own opinion. But my Animal Crossing game is my own, and if I want to hack my town without hurting anyone or tarnishing the name or sales of Animal Crossing, why not?

Because I was able to freely express my creativity and imagination with my town, I love it so much more. It's a place where I can go talk to my dreamie villagers, do some chores, and make my mayor an extension of myself. I consider Jasoom a piece of me. And anyone that knows me and visits my town can truly say that my town is a reflection of me.

Maybe the way I play my game is way deeper than most people playing Animal Crossing, but that's what a game is for isn't it? It's for you.

Hey, you certainly won't hear any judge from me! As I already admitted, if I could hack my town to move those rocks somewhere else where they don't mess up everything, I totally would!

 

[N a t]

No and no...I have nothing against hacking, but I've never been interested in it lol

 

[sylviabee]

The only part of hacking I am interested in is being able to put plants in the water. I think it looks sooo nice

 

[GalacticGhost]

nope, and i never have hacked any of my towns.

tbh even though i've seen some really nice hacked towns, if i had the means to hack either of my towns i wouldn't do it anyway because i'd be afraid of messing something up and destroying all my hard work D: plus it'd take a lot of enjoyment out of the game because getting what i want would take a LOT less time and effort. and if i did make a town absolutely perfect through hacking... what would i do with it afterwards? there wouldn't really be much left for me to do then, aside from getting all the badges if i hadn't done so already. and even then, it's probably possible to get all the badges through hacking.

I'm very surprised this hasn't been closed yet! No, I have never edited or hacked my town, and I never plan to. I only have as much IGB as I do now because of the outrageous TBT:IGB trade.

 

[Peridot666]

yes

 

[LunaLight]

I tried to, but every time I downloaded a software I had to download another one to get to it, then another one to get to that one, then yet another to get to THAT one, so it was no use. I spent literally my whole day like 3 weeks ago trying but I gave up after I realized you had to have an unupdated 3DS, which mine is updated so... Oh well. I was pretty excited and determined too, but then I realized the "you have to have a 3DS at version xx" part so I said screw it.

Excuse me? Why should this thread be closed? I am not promoting anything illegal, I just want to know people opinions and/or experiences. Nobody is forcing another to hack.
