Time Travel for Bushes

[ladylou]

Hi I need a bit of advice. I previously planted some bushes in my town and wanted them in a particular order. I took a break from NL a couple of months back and only returned recently. I've completely forgotten which type of bush I've planted where and which colour (i.e. white azaela) is which. I want to TT to the times these bushes are in bloom so I can see what's what and finish planting, but what's the best way to do it without losing any villagers? I've got Beautiful Town Ordinance in place so that should take care of my flowers

Thanks! x

play until you get a villager who pings to move, say no. save and quit and then change the date to whatever time to see the bloom; no one should leave (only do it once though), and i'm not sure about going back to your original time. maybe do the same thing and TT forward back to normal? (i'd wait to see what others say too).

You may not need to TT - the bushes all look slightly different even when they're not blooming. There's a pic in the wiki:

Except the hydrangeas and hibiscus, both colors look the same. edit: oops, just saw you had different colors of the same bush type. ><

>get a villager to ping about moving doing day by day time travel
>say no

now you can time travel as far forward as you want to without anyone moving for one period

just rinse and repeat this process every time you want to travel more than 5 days ahead

time travel backwards shouldn't be as effective though, due to it only counting is one day forward, but if you want to be safe just do the above again before time traveling backwards

Thanks for the replies will wait for a ping before TT-ing. Can't wait to finally get my bushes sorted!

Thanks again x

Or you could just set your DS clock to the seasons you need to check and pop in with a new villager and just don't save. Nothing should happen and then you can just tt to the current date and everything will be fine.

At least that's how I think it works.

just remember after the ping it will only be safe for the first time travel

so if you want to go further ahead you'll have to wait or day-by-day time travel again for another moving ping before you can make another huge time travel jump without anyone moving

Here's a post that shows what every color and type of bush looks like in each season: http://bidoofcrossing.tumblr.com/post/39876775838/all-flowers-bushes-in-animal-crossing-new-leaf I hope that helps.
