Looking to make a Japanese Themed Town.

[Vex L'Cour]

So I did some research into PWPs. From what I read I need to get Cranky Villagers to suggest Zen items.

Is there ANY easy way to do this or am I stuck with dumb luck? I only have Chow as a cranky and I'm half tempted to completely fill my town with cranky villagers in order to accomplish my goal, but is this possible? (Like will the game force me to have a diverse crowd of people?).

Does anyone have suggestions for floor pattern QR codes? I did a quick check last night (Before grabbing a load of One Piece QR codes).

And any advice / tips / ideas would be lovely. My House is ALREADY Zen Themed (as I got the Zen rebuild, Zen wall and the top is using green tile).

Also as a side note is it possible to delete your first bridge and replace it? I haven't yet tried honestly.

I'd try and get Kabuki, if you can. He's cranky, so he'll suggest the right PWPs, and if you plot reset till he builds his house near one of your beach ramps, he'll probably be the first person you see if you do the diving trick to get pings. He's one of the most Japanese villagers you can get, and even if you don't keep him (you should, he's the best <3), you can swap out loads of his furniture to get things like the kotatsu and tea tansu.

The game won't stop you from having all crankies (as long as you get them from other towns, they won't move in automatically), but after the 20th "I'm not gonna lose to the weather! I'm not gonna lose to anybody!" you'll probably hate yourself.

You have to have at least one bridge, so you should build a second one, then demolish the first. Then you can rebuild it as a suspension bridge if you want, and then delete the other bridge if you only want one. It's expensive, but the only way, unfortunately :/

Best of luck with it!

I had 3-4 crankies till I got the zen pwps. I pulled them in from other towns though. The game does try to keep you balanced with who it willingly gives you. You might have luck getting crankies from the campsite though as it is random. You can delete the original bridges but be SURE nothing important is within 5 spaces or kt won't let you rebuild one in the same place. I made the mistake of deleting a bridge that was too close to the cafe in my first town. It was awkward no longer having a bridge in the same place.

Thanks for the diving trick, I might try it. Luckily Chow is really close to one of my ramps.

Kabuki sounds like a good chracter to have, bet he's worth mint on the forums but I'll go look incase someone wants to help me grab him, whats the best price for him?

I can't remember how long it took to get all the zen PWP and I did it with one cranky and not using the diving trick. It was only a few months. In the meantime I collected all the exclusive DLC that became available through the post office each month, I got the town hall and train station remodel. The QR codes I'm using are the koi pond, some wooden planks and stepping stones. My town flag, cut out standee and bus stop signs are inspired by Totoro. You can visit my dream address. It's not 100% authentic, but rather my interpretation of it.

Ah Genji is a good villager to have as well!

 

[Greggy]

Yup, have Kabuki. Get Walt too, since he's also a cranky villager and he looks like a samurai. Walt ain't that wanted, so even if he's going to be hard to find he won't cost too much.

You got any images and QR codes to your paths?

TBH with my flag I have a Pikachu one and I have a One Piece wanted poster Standee.
