what are the things you JUST noticed about acnl?

[fashions]

I just realised how strange it is that Reese can tell if a Redd painting is fake.

Like, Blathers probably went to the University of Bird McBirdford and Reese probably didn't go to university, set up a re-tail to help Cyrus support their 3 kids and can still tell if the Mona Lisa's a fake. (lol that's just my headcannon)

But yea, I know for the purposes of the game she has to be able to tell, because fake art is worthless and has to be trashed.

This is actually embarassing, I've had the game since the day after it was released and only 2 weeks ago after someone said "triangle grass" that I realised there are different types of grass.

I just noticed that if you stand under regal wall lamp and press A, your character will jump and try to reach the lamp...
Not sure if it's an exclusive animation for regal wall lamp or for all wall items, but I accidentally did it when visiting Felicity's house and it made me more excited than I should be hahah.

That happens for all wall items which have an on/off feature.

ive known this since forever but theres different sounds for running/walking on grass, snow, sand, and dirt. not paths because that is ridiculous.

I didn't notice this just now, but a little while ago:

When you give villagers the perfect version of their request they will ALWAYS give you something you haven't catalogued yet. This however only goes for fruit requests, fish requests (only general 'fish' or high tier fish requests), furniture requests (matching their house), bug requests (general 'bug?' or high tier bug requests). Also goes for petitions and visits to your house where you show them all the rooms.

So if they ask for a shark and you give them the black/white one, you'll get a not-yet catalogued item. If they ask for a Black bass and you return it you just get a random item.

Using MoriDB paid off for me. Did anyone else know this already? No idea if it's common knowledge!

You can pop balloon present thingys near a cliff with a shovel I don't need to bother with a slingshot

I actually tried this when I didn't have the slingshot but for some reason it didn't work for me :/

anyway, today I learned that Willow who was once in my town is Snooty, I thought she was a Normal villager XP

 

[Ettienne]

When you trip, your face "dents" whatever surface you're walking on. Especially cute on sand/mud.

 

[snapdragon]

I learned that if you trip while holding a balloon you lose it

OMG this is so sad! Note to self-never run with my balloon!!!!! ;_;

I had no idea about this, I always wondered if when a villager asked for fruit if you would get something rarer as a reward if you gave them a basket of fruit/perfect fruit.

A few of things I've only noticed:
-Dotty's eyes go red when she's shocked.
-Flowers get brighter (not just the sparkles) after you water them.
-Chopping down the non-palm trees on the island makes catching rare beetles easier.

it's great to see that this thread can be useful in providing some info about the game that many people didn't know or missed, I've learned a lot reading your comments guys :3

This wont actually help gameplay but i noticed that behind the barrier in the train station is a fire extinguisher and if you end a multiplayer session your mayor waves the train off in the station too, thats all i can think of for now

 

[Akina]

If you trip while holding a cup of coffee, it will spill on the ground and leave stains. They will, however, disappear within few seconds.

 

[melissacrossing]

I just found out that Dotty is a peppy villager, and not a normal one.

I know that Robin is a girl now, but for a while I thought she was a boy. Whoops. I don't know how it took me so long to realise XD

Someone told me that the colour their name comes up in dialogue tells you if they are a boy or girl. Blue for boy,pink for girl

this is sad but true

if you have a certain villager in your town and you go to a DA who has the same villager, theyll be like WHOA HEY WHATS UP
at least, for me they did that (fang)

 

[CainWolf]

I recently learned that going down any ramp-like area (like the slopes down to the beach area or even just the slight ledge of Kapp's dock) then it makes your character run fast enough to trample any flowers at the bottom even if you don't press 'B' to run.

I've noticed that villagers can (seemingly) hold items of their own. Mine have given me things I've given them using my mayor or the other characters.

I've noticed this too, and I think it's a cool touch.
