I just had this happen to me the other day! Its absolutely adorable when they fall in the sand! I used to get SO annoyed when I was having a bad luck day but now it just amuses me to no end.
ah it annoys me when it happens. do you have Katrina the fortune teller yet? if you obtain one of her lucky hats then you can avoid the tripping at least in the future...
I love tripping over! However, be careful because it can destroy a 2x1 or 1x2 area of flowers. I love tripping on the beach because it leaves a huge dent. You are having a bad luck day, or you are wearing clothes that Katrina says will bring you bad luck.
It's even funnier with coffee cause you spill it. If you want to avoid it you can find and wear a lucky clover, I stick my on for safe measure if I am doing a lot of running around. But to make it worse you can put on a Pharaoh mask because it's "cursed" and you'll trip a lot more. XD
What's weird, you spill the coffee, but ice creams are unaffected? You'll lose the balloon, but your tool stays in your hand? Perfect logic with this game!!
The game designers certainly had a good sense of humor when they added that little touch.
There are many more very subtle things that go un-noticed till one day you notice them.
I've not tripped with a coffee yet! I'll have to try that next time I have bad luck. Also if Katrina isn't in your town and you don't know what to wear to bring you good luck the lovely phone will tell you as well.
I hate it when my player constantly trips. I can't even see Katrina on some of those days, and even if I can, finding the item I need to improve my luck can be hard. Especially if it's specific.
