So, I know it's a little early to start thinking of Weeding Day, but it's on my mind anyway. I've been through Weeding Day twice in my main town. The first year I wanted the furniture, so I took off my Beautiful Town Ordinance and let weeds grow for about a week or so ahead of time. The second year I didn't really care because I had everything I needed, so I went about my business as usual. I left the Beautiful Town Ordinance on and plucked weeds as I encountered them. I was sort of expecting to get the Topiary PWPs from Leif because of this, but on Weeding Day a single weed spawned, so I got more furniture instead. This wasn't a big deal because as I said before, I didn't really care either way.
However, this year I need the Topiary PWPs to complete my second town. The bulk of my PWPs are going to be streetlamps and topiaries. I don't like to time travel so if I don't get them when Weeding Day comes around, I'll probably end up waiting another whole year.
I know the basics:
1. Make sure Beautiful Town Ordinance is turned on.
2. Scour the town the day before Weeding Day to make sure it's completely clear of weeds.
But what's the best way to make sure no weeds pop up on Weeding Day?
I've thought about a few options:
1. Covering my entire town with patterns, flowers, etc so there are no available spaces for weeds to spawn. This would be very time consuming as most of my town is not landscaped at the moment, but I'll do it if it's the only way.
2. Log in with a new save file to check for weeds before logging in with my mayor on Weeding Day. Like plot resetting, but checking for weeds instead.
3. Do minimal time traveling if necessary. If I log in on Weeding Day and don't get the Topiary PWPs, time travel forward one day, save and quit, then time travel back one day to re-do Weeding Day.
I'm not 100% that any of these methods will work, so I'd like to know your thoughts. Also, if you have any other suggestions, I'm open to hearing them.
