Q U E S T I O N S

*If you are answering a question, please put the number of the question you are answering before your response, so I know which question you are answering and you won't need to quote me. Thank you for the help!

[01.] I keep finding and I am wondering if it actually improves your overall luck for the day, or if its just another random item that is collectable because I notice some people selling or buying in the TBT Marketplace.

[02.] What do the Bush Starts do exactly? Just grow into bushes? Do you collect anything from them, like flowers or something? I notice some people randomly place them around town and I walk into them constantly... LOL.

[03.] Does Fertilizer work on the beach? I have started to try breeding my flowers that produce red hybrids on the beach so that my villagers don't mess with them, but if I put fertilizer in the sand, is it actually working? Or am I just wasting it?

[04.] I read something somewhere that Perfect Fruit Trees die after so many harvestings. What is the exact number of harvesting and by die do they mean the tree disappears? Or do I still need to chop it down?

[05.] After you get Gracie Grace do I need to continue collecting clothes in my storage for fashion checks, or is that all over because I already have her shop in my Main Street. I just don't want to be hoarding clothes for no reason > < It reminds me of my room closet, until the other month, I got rid of a bunch of clothes. LOL

[06.] Is there a way to make my Villagers stop planting random flowers every where? I try to go throw the town and get rid of them, but its like they put them in the most random places and sometimes its ugly flowers... Is it just an automatic thing that they do?

[07.] I know in the older versions of AC, you can push villagers, hit them, push them into pitfalls to make them move out faster, does that work in ACNL as well? I have been trying to just ignore them unless they ping me. I have shoved around a couple and hit them with my shovel or net, but it only seems to make them "sad" or "mad". Is there a way I can get them to move away faster? I am debating to shove them into a pitfall. LOL

[08.] What is the point of have fruitless trees, like regular saplings or cedar trees? Do they serve some sort of purpose? I know you can shake them and have either bee's or spiders or if you're LUCKY a piece of random furniture fall out. Is that all they are good for?

[09.] Where can you get the Toy Hammer? I see some people talking about it, but where do I get it from, how much is it and is it only a seasonal item? Like somethings from Gracie Grace.

[10.] Shells on the Beach, do I need to collect them "daily" for others to respawn, because I just leave them there and nothing new ever shows up and I am looking for Giant Clam Shells, but it's always the same worthless shells.

[11.] How do I obtain a Villager's Picture? Do I need to be like "OMG BEST FRIENDS" or can I just be an okay friend to get them when they request something from me? Do I need to send them letters with something attached that is a "recommended gift" for them to become better friends with me? Or do I just need to continuously talk to them?

[12.] If a bunch of my Villager's say that someone is thinking of MOVING, does that automatically mean that they are going to move? What if they don't ever ping me when I am near them, are they going to move or just stay in my town forever?

[13.] Is there a way to tell what type of LUCK you have for the day? I read some where that every day it is something new, but I don't have the fortune teller shop unlocked, is there another way that I can tell? ):

[14.] Is there a quicker way to get more PWP Request's, because sometimes I feel like I can get a whole bunch at once just walking around the town or doing the "diving trick" and other times it's like I can weeks without even getting one... I mostly get people asking me to change their greeting or catchphrase...
- What do you do that gets you more PWP Request's, because I am looking for the Police Station and Flower Bed.

[15.] How can I get a Perfect Town Rating? Is there certain requirements that I need? I know there needs to be Plant Life, PWP and Cleanliness. I am wondering to what extent I need to have it at.
- Please list what I need or recommended PWP I should have to get the Perfect Town Rating.

[16.] During the change of Seasons, should I be wearing different types of clothes? Does it affect my player? I mean I know in the Summer if you wear tanks and shorts/skirts, you can get a tan from being in the sun too long. Is that the only Season that has an effect on characters or is Winter another one?

[17.] When does Club LOL open, like the earlist I can go into get an emotion from him? Everytime I go around 10A-12P, it says that the Club is closed T-T is there a specific time it opens so I can get new emotions.

[18.] Does K.K. Slider give you free music if you attend his show and request one with an empty pocket space? I keep debating to go if I am going to get something for free. LOL

[19.] Is there a way to keep Villager's from Moving In to specific locations in town? I want all my Villagers kind of in one area, and I am wondering if I can keep them from moving in on the other side of the river...



Thank you for reading! I am really looking for your help to answer these questions. ​

Number 2 bushes are for decorating town and you don't collect things from thesm

Oh okay thank you! I am not collecting them, but I notice a lot of people are buying specific ones. So I wondered if there was any significance to them! Thank you!

 

[kiti_in_wonderland]

number 7, no. in this game that does not work. you can deny them favors and they may move out based on a lower friendship level, but nothing is guaranteed. villagers request to move at random, even your best friends will suggest it. when you reach 10 villagers the 10th will always never ask to move, but then frequently you will have another villager (1-9) asking at random just to clear an extra space.

number 9, you get it from the island gift shop, it's just a rare item so isn't found very often. certain island gift shop items you need to get club tormenter for and they will be at that gift shop (i.e. the whirlpool bath)
number 12, once they say that find the villager and walk around them until they ping you, or save and quit, and then find them again. they will not bring it up if you talk to them, and if you ignore it then they will just move out on their own. so if you want to keep them and hear a rumor, do go and find them!
number 14, the diving trick helps, but it is pure random otherwise which request you will get and how many. sometimes you do the diving trick and get one right after, other times it takes a while or you may not get one right away

[01.] I keep finding clovers and I am wondering if it actually improves your overall luck for the day, or if its just another random item that is collectable because I notice some people selling or buying in the TBT Marketplace.
Apparently they increase your overall luck.

[02.] What do the Bush Starts do exactly? Just grow into bushes? Do you collect anything from them, like flowers or something? I notice some people randomly place them around town and I walk into them constantly... LOL.
They just grow into bushes that you can use for decoration.

[03.] Does Fertilizer work on the beach? I have started to try breeding my flowers that produce red hybrids on the beach so that my villagers don't mess with them, but if I put fertilizer in the sand, is it actually working? Or am I just wasting it?
I think it might. After all, if flowers themselves can grow there...

[04.] I read something somewhere that Perfect Fruit Trees die after so many harvestings. What is the exact number of harvesting and by die do they mean the tree disappears? Or do I still need to chop it down?
You still need to cut it down. There's not an exact number of harvests, but it can be at least between 2 and 10.

[05.] After you get Gracie Grace do I need to continue collecting clothes in my storage for fashion checks, or is that all over because I already have her shop in my Main Street. I just don't want to be hoarding clothes for no reason > < It reminds me of my room closet, until the other month, I got rid of a bunch of clothes. LOL
You don't need to; that's over.

[06.] Is there a way to make my Villagers stop planting random flowers every where? I try to go throw the town and get rid of them, but its like they put them in the most random places and sometimes its ugly flowers... Is it just an automatic thing that they do?
There's no way to stop them, sadly.

[07.] I know in the older versions of AC, you can push villagers, hit them, push them into pitfalls to make them move out faster, does that work in ACNL as well? I have been trying to just ignore them unless they ping me. I have shoved around a couple and hit them with my shovel or net, but it only seems to make them "sad" or "mad". Is there a way I can get them to move away faster? I am debating to shove them into a pitfall. LOL
To be honest, I'm not sure that really worked well in the first place. People advise ignoring the villager and seeing if they ping to leave.

[08.] What is the point of have fruitless trees, like regular saplings or cedar trees? Do they serve some sort of purpose? I know you can shake them and have either bee's or spiders or if you're LUCKY a piece of random furniture fall out. Is that all they are good for?
You can also get 100 bells randomly or bagworms in the correct season. Otherwise- decoration.

[09.] Where can you get the Toy Hammer? I see some people talking about it, but where do I get it from, how much is it and is it only a seasonal item? Like somethings from Gracie Grace.
You can get it randomly on the island, though I'm not sure how much it is.

[10.] Shells on the Beach, do I need to collect them "daily" for others to respawn, because I just leave them there and nothing new ever shows up and I am looking for Giant Clam Shells, but it's always the same worthless shells.
I believe you might need to, yeah.

[11.] How do I obtain a Villager's Picture? Do I need to be like "OMG BEST FRIENDS" or can I just be an okay friend to get them when they request something from me? Do I need to send them letters with something attached that is a "recommended gift" for them to become better friends with me? Or do I just need to continuously talk to them?
You need to have a high friendship level, yes. You can talk to them, do favours for them, send gifts... all of that increases this friendship level.

[12.] If a bunch of my Villager's say that someone is thinking of MOVING, does that automatically mean that they are going to move? What if they don't ever ping me when I am near them, are they going to move or just stay in my town forever?
If they don't ping, they'll still move out. Save and quit, then start again to reset the pings and hopefully get the news from that animal.

[13.] Is there a way to tell what type of LUCK you have for the day? I read some where that every day it is something new, but I don't have the fortune teller shop unlocked, is there another way that I can tell? ):
If you're willing to TT to attend the Fireworks Festival or whatever it's called, then you can get fortune cookies from Redd at a stand for 500 bells. There is a chance of getting the Lovely Phone there. If you get it, you can place it and get your fortune from it every day.

[14.] Is there a quicker way to get more PWP Request's, because sometimes I feel like I can get a whole bunch at once just walking around the town or doing the "diving trick" and other times it's like I can weeks without even getting one... I mostly get people asking me to change their greeting or catchphrase...
Nope. That's the fastest method.
- What do you do that gets you more PWP Request's, because I am looking for the Police Station and Flower Bed.
Nothing, really. They're just suggested randomly.


[16.] During the change of Seasons, should I be wearing different types of clothes? Does it affect my player? I mean I know in the Summer if you wear tanks and shorts/skirts, you can get a tan from being in the sun too long. Is that the only Season that has an effect on characters or is Winter another one?
Summer's the only one- though if you're wearing the wrong clothes for the season upon starting up, your character will react to the temperature.

[17.] When does Club LOL open, like the earlist I can go into get an emotion from him? Everytime I go around 10A-12P, it says that the Club is closed T-T is there a specific time it opens so I can get new emotions.
Go in during the afternoon with fruit.

[18.] Does K.K. Slider give you free music if you attend his show and request one with an empty pocket space? I keep debating to go if I am going to get something for free. LOL
He does. In fact, in prior games, it was the only way to get his music.

[19.] Is there a way to keep Villager's from Moving In to specific locations in town? I want all my Villagers kind of in one area, and I am wondering if I can keep them from moving in on the other side of the river...
The reset trick. You might have heard of it, so if you need an explanation, I'll be happy to provide it.

Oh wow, [07.] That's kind of lame, I have one of my starter villagers that I want to move out, but he just WON'T do it T-T

[09.] Club Tortimer, okay, thank you I will defintely go get a membership then!

[12.] I want that Villager to leave, he just isn't pinging me to say that he is planning on moving or anything. If I just leave him alone then, and he doesn't ping me, he'll just leave? That's totally fine with me

[14.] Dang, okay I will keep trying. Thank you!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
For [19.] yes, I would love an explanation and for [01.] do I need to be carrying it on my person for overall luck?

 

[deardeer]

I'll provide an explanation for the reset trick purely because Earth Wolf-Howl isn't online at the moment disclaimer: some people carry out the method slightly differently

1. You know a villager is going to move in (either by asking them to at the campsite or from someone else's town or you only have 9 villagers)

2. Save the game with your mayor

3. On system settings on your DS, wind the date forwards a few days

4. Open up AC - do NOT load up your Mayor - create a new save file

5. On your new character, walk round your town until you find the villager's plot

6. If you're happy, set up the new character and save

7. If not, restart AC and repeat from step 4

This trick can also be applied to the campsite - resetting who appears in the campsite.

Hope this helps any questions just ask!

 

[Arcticfox5]

[05] After you've unlocked Gracie Grace you no longer need to do the fashion checks.

[08] One of the special things about regular saplings is that they will blossom at the beginning of April (they will have pink leaves instead of green). Fruit trees don't blossom.

[09] Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find the toy hammer at the gift shop on the island. You can buy one using the medals won from the tours.

 

[Mick]

If you want giant clam shells: Go to the island, but pick the online (with other travellers) option. You will be sent to a newly generated island, usually with those laying around. If not, you leave and do it again! That way, you can get a few pretty fast - it will cost you some bells, though.

 

[RynxRawr]

Thank you!!

I am wondering, how many days forward do I move exactly in the DS settings? Does it change my AC date too? >___< I don't want to mess up because I am TTing a lot.

 

[Liseli]

My answers.
[1.] No, lucky clovers don't actually raise your luck. I think they're for decoration, but I could be wrong. All I know is that when you put them in your house, it shows as a book with the clover as the bookmark.

[2.] Bush starts are for show. Although, I wish that Animal Crossing made bushes that you can harvest from. Like maybe a berry bush?

[3.] Fertilizer works near plants and trees. Villagers shouldn't mess with them, since they can't really shovel anything up despite that some carry a shovel around. Fertilizer disappears after more than one day that it's been buried.

[4.] I know that perfect fruit becomes rotten if you keep them on the trees for long, if that's what you mean. It will turn into a dead tree if you shake it. If you shake it, then all of the leaves would fall off, which means that you'd need to chop it down and replant a new tree. Planting a perfect fruit does not make another perfect tree, by the way.

[5.] Honestly, once when you get GracieGracie within your main street, your mission of impressing her is over, since she's literally just sitting on the third floor. That's my opinion, at the least.

[6.] If you have Beautiful Ordinance in session, then they will continue to plant and water flowers. If you stop the ordinance, they will stop watering and planting, and flowers could potentially die. What I tend to do is pick up the flowers that they planted and either throw it away or find a patch that needs that color next to it in order to cross-breed. You can't really help it, they're technically CPU.

[7.] People say that it worked, but for me, it doesn't really. You're giving them attention, is what I think it is. What I tend to do is just don't talk to them at all. Not even a single peep. If there's a favor that addresses them, steer away and deny. Then keep talking to that villager until another request pops up. Or what you can do is uh, give your hated villager rotten fruit when they ask for fruit, open their gifts when they request to give it to another villager, and keep ignoring them until they ping.

[8.] Yeah, pretty much. Or with some of them, you can chop them down and see special patterns from within. Keeping that stump will form special mushrooms around them.
[9.] From the island. You buy it with medals that was obtained from minigames.
[10.] Yeah, actually. You could just pick them all up and check if they are on premium. If not, then just find your nearest garbage can.

[11.] via April Fool's Day, or being besties with them. They will give you their picture when they either move out, or they will ping you and give it to you randomly. Just keep talking to them, that's how I got Savannah's picture in my old town. But for the moving out part, Gladys gave me her picture when she left and I started to cry ;w;.

[12.] It means that they want to move. If you say "yeah sure you can move", then they will move the day that they said to. However, if you say no, they won't move.

[13.] Well, there's always the lovely phone that tells your fortune.

[14.] Nope. That's the most easiest way.

[15.] You need a certain amount of trees and flowers in every single acre. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the player needs 110-200 trees and over 75 flowers in the town. Don't let any items linger on the floor, PWP does affect the perfect town rate, and so do weeds. However, with the Beautiful Ordinance, it'll be much easier to obtain this.

[16.] Summer's the only time that you can tan. However, your tan can fade.

[17.] Try to go in late afternoon with fruit in hand.

[18.] At some nights, K.K. Slider sits on the stage with his stool and plays his guitar besides DJing. (Guitar session happen on Saturday nights.)

[19.] The reset trick is the only way that I heard about it. For me, I just go with the flow. Perhaps too much, because Marina moved into a patch of roses and I wanted to make her into sushi.
