Sad memories?

[michealsmells]

Now now, I know this is a game about being happy and enjoying your life... at least in the newer games, (I'm looking at you, wild world), but we all have at least one memory in this game that might make you frown or tear up.

I'm not talking about catastrophes or things that were angering, but things you were maybe even able to learn from.

For anyone who recognizes me, you'll know that my first acnl cartridge died. I didn't play it that much, and I don't know how it broke, I just took it out of my case of games and it no longer worked. Unless somehow it got ruined when I set it on my dresser for not longer than a day, (my Pokemon Platinum cartridge was under a couch for a year and still works flawlessly), I have literally no clue as to why it happened or how.

But- that's not all that bad. I've since got PixelsV2 (version 2) and Diva, one of my favorite old villagers from Pixels Version 1 even moved in recently! Plus, I got so confident in how much I've been playing this game earlier this year, that I even bought a second copy (and look how that went).

Losing the first Pixels was devastating but it let me make a new town, two new towns, and relearn how fun the game was... and I think that's important.

I was very upset the first time a villager moved without me knowing. It was Pate and I really liked her. Since then, I've made sure to not let that happen again.

I remember when I was still a newbie and my favourite villager told me they were thinking about moving. I accidentally said OK and I didn't think to reset or TT or anything. I just let them leave, because I didn't know any better.

Two years ago my uncle was in a coma from weeks. I was very sad, and to try to relax a bit, I logged into my game. It was snowy, and the snowman was in my town. He reminded me of my uncle, with those mustaches and the hat, just like him. He was almost all melted that night.. I played my game in Italian at that time, and the snowman name in Italian was Polario. Polario told my character these words: ?I?m
melting right now, but this is not a goodbye...don?t be sad! I will come back next year with the new snowflakes!?.

A few tears fell from my eyes, I didn?t even know why.

The morning after they gave me news that sadly my uncle passed away.
And Polario was gone from my town. Some new trees grew the next few days, they were pear trees, I didn?t even remember planting them! My uncle used to love pear trees!

So, every year at winter, I wait for Polario to visit my town! I know it?s just a game and all, but it makes me think it?s my uncle telling me ?hey I?m still around! I just came here to say hi?

Oh my god get me a box of tissues. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that acnl brings just a little relief. <3

Lovin' these post glitches.

I was really excited to trade in New Leaf when I first got it and prepared a big order forever ago.
I then go to trade and realize that my internet wouldn't allow me to trade with anyone...
I tell my parents, and they don't bother to fix it because they "forgot the password". Yeah, ok, thanks.

Anyhow, aside from that, I was pretty sad when I had my first move out.

It's raining.

Thank you. Yes, this game helps in so many ways! It might be just a game, but people like us that play it know how magic and supporting it can be at times! ^_^

When I finished customizing all my houses on Achrome I was sad and stopped playing and got into a hiatus. I created a new town based on my old theme...and it’s supposed to be sort of a better version 2.0. I’m happy now and playing.

I was trying to time travel on the GameCube Animal Crossing for some dumb reason and accidentally caused Olivia to move out. One of my other favorite villagers, Rio, had randomly moved out not long before that as well despite me telling her to stay. So when I lost Olivia I stopped playing and to this day I haven't played again since. It's been at least 4 years since then and I still don't want to load up that town.

My saddest ACNL memory was my favorite villager, Filbert, moving away during a break from the game a few years ago. I stopped playing for a while after that. It sucked losing my space squirrel.

 

[Wildtown]

my saddest moment was when i lost maple because of dumb mistake well time traveling... of course i got stitches after that

Accidentally TT-ing my favorite villager out. I learned from my mistake, but I miss her

Gosh... I made this post to be cute and this is exactly what I wanted. I'm so happy that you got to get closure with the game like that.

So, in my old town, I was moving old villagers out to replace them with new ones. My last villager was Rolf, who I had seriously grown attached to. I didn't want to move him out, but I thought I had to. I wanted to have him change his mind, but I avoided him. He had been in my town as a starter, and I felt horrible! On the day he was moving, I couldn't even go in his house to tell him goodbye. And.. when he sent me his moving letter, his picture was in it. I deleted that town soon after.

Also, when I was younger, the melodies of Kapp'n's songs always made me cry, despite the silly words.
