Today I Learned: ACNL Edition

[Tri]

Hello! Since joining the forum I know I've found out some remote stuff about New Leaf and thought it would be fun if we had a thread dedicated to the small discoveries that make us appreciate the game a little more. It can include anything from a line of dialogue you hadn't heard before to rare weather to obscure game mechanics. Reposts of the same facts are allowed because the thread is really about your experiences. : )

I'll go first.
TIL: in the hour before heavy rain starts there's a deep fog that limits visibility. I updated my dream during it.

Ah, the foggy weather. AKA "Coelecanth catching preparations" time.

wow!! that fog is beautiful!! i love that! i never knew that happened in acnl!

i just found out today that you can actually request songs at club lol, now i just need to figure out how to do so!
i also only found out about rare sunsets and sunrises two days ago, really blew my top off knowing that some nights/mornings in the game could be red skies, purple skies, golden skies, or darker pink skies! now i’m anxiously awaiting the day i encounter one in my town!

TIL: If I remove a pattern that was set as a path, it removes the darn thing completely and it drives me utterly nuts because of this mistake.

@ Orchidflesh the rare sunrise threads a couple of days back were an inspiration for the thread too. They're beautiful, and I had no idea!

I just looked this up cause I didn’t learn anything about it today

If Isabelle won't let you build a bridge due to lack of space, sometimes trying to build it from the other side works. Happened in my old town when she complained about a rock in the way. Went to the other side of the river and she let me build it exactly where I wanted (and where she said no the first time).
