How often do you use your alt characters?

[turtlewigs]

Just wondering because i recently made an alt character just to hold new patterns and honesty its so hard to keep up with both. I plan to make his house into a little restaurant (because where can the poor animals eat?) but I need to keep up with him, at least for ten days so I can get the QR machine...

How often if at all do you play using your alt character?​

I haven't touched my old town ever since I got my 3DS XL.

Haven't played ACNL in a good few months...
But no, I played on my mules once or twice every few months?

 

[Vizionari]

Pretty much almost every day

So you usually just played as your mayor?

Ho do you keep up with them??

 

[TheGreatBrain]

I don't really play with the mule characters unless I am making a new room for their house.I do play with them every few days just so I can check their mailbox, then I save and quit.This also keeps them from getting messy hair.

I split up the time I play with each of them. I guess it's because I'm working on houses with my charas, too

Thats pretty smart,
Im thinking of making little stories for my characters (If i ever get the time)
Just to add a little more depth to them

 

[remiaphasia]

Pretty much never, because I like being able to work on PWP pretty much daily.

Only when I have something to do on them, like placing patterns and working on their houses.

 

[GlitterNailPolish]

I use them when I find a new item for them or when I accidentally kick up a pattern picking something up, lol.

 

[Paperboy012305]

I use them a few times a week. Sometimes i'm too lazy or busy and don't change them at all. I invite friends over my town more often.

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

I only use them for plot resetting and afterwards I delete them.

On my first ACNL, my ALT character became my main character...Then, I made another ALT character and he became my main character. After I restarted, I made an ALT character as soon as I made my mayor but I haven't switched to my ALT character yet...I guess my first game was the only time I'd switch to my ALT for a main.

I either see people play with them a lot as if they where like really important, and then i see them as mules
Odds are ill play as them once in a while because I dont want to have to keep restyling their hair

On my newest town I only have my mayor, but on my first town on ACNL it all depends.. mostly now I'm working on developing the town, so I use my mayor a lot, but there was a time where I'd use my other character 90% of the time because it was fun to kind of develop a little story line with her in my head, but I don't really have time now.. I have 2 side characters that have personalities (new hair, good house etc) and currently they've had bed-head under their hair-bow wigs for months in-game. So it fluctuates, but they most certainly aren't mules, I have a fourth character slot open for plot resetting, so once I get my last dreamie transferred to that town, he'll be a mule.

 

[Improv]

I never use secondary characters. I make them & after they've laid out my paths like the slaves good people they are, they sit and rot in their tents.

 

[big ed]

my second chars house is also restaurant themed! I try to play as her every few days to keep things going mostly when i'm on my lunch break at work.

I use my alts for gardening storage (clovers, mushrooms, bush/tree starts) and I'm in the process of landscaping my town so everyday.

Once I'm done I'll probably not bother touching them until it comes time for me to design their homes.

 

[Miya902]

I only use my alts if I accidently pulled up a pattern and need to replace it. Or if I need to store something since they're my storage pretty much.
