Hello Belltree forums. My name is AnusFreezer (not my birth name, mind you) and I come to you in an hour of desperation and utter confusion. I have played Animal Crossing since the GC version but I have always played casually, and it was not until I bought New Leaf that I decided I wanted to go for the Perfect Town rating. I did my research and learned the basics of maintaining a town such as having enough trees/flowers, 10 public works, etc. For about a month Isabelle has been feeding me the "Even from an academic standing, this town is great and attracting lots of tourists!" message, or something along those lines. Naturally, I'd assumed that I was close to my goal and just needed a few more Public Projects erected. But just the other day, out of the blue, she tells me the town is "riding the so-so rails". *****, what? I am at a loss. I've spent the past few days looking stuff up, cutting down trees to reduce my ration and building more projects (because my town with 10 projects is still underdeveloped according to Isabelle). So I ask you, oh wise veterans of the AC life, what in high holy **** happened?
Strangely, a few things happened just before this. Maybe one of these caused the rating drop:
1. The day before this, I finished building the instrument shelter.
2. That same day, my first ever bamboo shoots (3 of them) reached maturity.
3. Also that same day, a neighbor moved out (Portia).
Town Stats (or whatever you'd call them)
-Trees: Just 107 right now, including the 3 bamboo stalks and the 6 on the beach (3 coconuts, 3 bananas)
-Flowers: An assload. Not counting the those, there's gotta be at least 150-180. Probably 15% hybrids.
-Public Works: Currently 11, 12th underway (2nd Suspension bridge). The 11 are as follows:
-Cobblestone bridge
-Suspension bridge
-Zen bench x2
-Instrument shelter
-Fountain
-Hammock
-Statue fountain
-Stone tablet
-Wind turbine
-Windmill
-Campsite
That's all I've got. Please help me. Also may be important to note that another neighbor just moved in (Apollo) to replace Portia today. Also I do have The Roost in my town. I've been told that having fewer than 10 neighbors in your town makes getting a Perfect Town harder, but The Roost has been here a while and I still always had that "yay good job your town's great" message for over a month I think, despite the fact that I can't get more than 9 neighbors. If anybody knows what the deal is, let me know. Otherwise I'll assume it's Isabelle's fault and she'll have to be punished. Thank you for reading all this, and always sprinkle when you tinkle.
