what are the things you JUST noticed about acnl?

I can't believe this never happened last year during this, but probably because my town wasn't as developed, but if you have a snowman, or any snowwhatever built I imagine, and make another one that accidentally gets created next to it, you still get the bingo number, or item for the boy/tyke I imagine, not sure how this would work for the mam, but they'll vanish, not move over like if they were next to a tree or something. I made one today and it was rammed right next to another snowman, and the new one gave me the number, but when I went inside and came back out, he was gone! The other partially melted one was there, but the new one was gone, and no new snowballs appeared! I found a glitch I guess, never thought a snowman would just vanish because it was next to something- usually they just move over, not vanish!

I just noticed the ground is all on one level(except for the beach ofc). I remember in city folk there were ramps and like half the town was at a higher elevation then the bottom half was at a lower elevation.

so did the original, Wild World and New Leaf are the only ones that have a level main town area. Those were the additions I just HATED in City Folk, it was like Wild World fixed it from the orginal, but City Folk went and added them back, quickly souring me on the game.

i just found out about pascal and i haven't even encountered him yet
had the game for about a year

and i also still don't have katrina on mainstreetlosgkmalgsg

After you give it to him, look for him swimming, there'll be a cute cut-scene where he eats it- at least I think it's cute!
 
I JUST noticed that you can drop things on the ground by dragging it to your feet in the inventory window. I've been clicking and selecting 'put on ground' everytime.. You can also eat fruit and put on clothes by dragging it over your character. Not sure if anyone mentioned this already, but my mind was blown. It's so much faster. omg.
 
I've had "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" since August 2013. There are some things I found out pretty late (by comparison to early on). Among them:

1. A villager who is moving on a certain date won't end up moving out if you move in a new villager very close to that scheduled date. (Example: If it's just a one-day difference, that moving-out villager will not move and, perhaps, not tell you ahead of time.)

2. When loading up a room with furniture, there is a limit which also factors anything you put up on the walls.

3. Kevin, the Jock pig, is a very good-looking "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" villager who may be the game's best kept secret. (Jocks aren't my favorite. I like them within reason. Kevin is very cool.)​
 
If you wear an eyepatch villagers will comment in surprise about it. I wore one today and Hans said "even if it is just for decoration, I don't like to think of you being hurt." Even though he is an ugly gorilla, I thought the sentiment was nice.
 
if you talk to blathers/celeste then leave them alone (but are in the same room as them), theyll fall asleep. celeste seems to fall asleep faster tho.
 
You can't put up Gracie clothes for sale in Retail. Not sure about furniture but pretty sure it applies too.
 
I thought Lucha was a girl.

And just found out Pete is with Phyllis... Wasn't he after Pelly in the first one??? What happened???
 
Pietro in my town said he noticed i was wearing a wig (the hair bow wig), i didn't now they were able to tell that or not.
 
I just put bandages on my mayor, and when I talked to Whitney she lectured me about getting into an accident! I love the little tidbits of unique dialogue. c:
 
I just noticed that my snow on the ground looks like stars, which I love. I don't know if that depends on grass pattern, pretty sure my grass is like... circles or something.

Also, I didn't just notice this, but it did kind of blow my mind when I found out about directional lighting. I've had either snooty or uchi villagers bring it up before but I didn't think it was an actual thing until I started turning off the main light switch (bottom screen) in my house. Makes rooms look so much nicer, especially if it's a colored light; I have a red paper lamp in my sushi/Japanese restaurant room and it casts a chill red glow.

Woah! Never heard of directional lighting in ACNL and I've always wondered what that light switch was about. Thanks so much for this helpful info! Now hopefully my rooms won't seem so yellow or blue. :) I guess it could be very atmospheric, though.

Crankies and Snooties seem to always mention it to me! I find nice that the apparently-least-friendly personalities are the most worried about you. It's very cute.

Pete likes Phyllis but Phyllis hates Pete because she knows Pelly is in love with Pete. Pete also knows Pelly loves him but still hits on Phyllis. It's like my telanovelas. Also I think Pete is kinda an a-hole.

Wait there's a light switch? :o You mean besides whatever lamp you put in your room?

I also didn't realize that my dressers had the letters (a,b, c) thing until months after I started the game. Then I suddenly had so much more space! :O
 
That footprints differ depending on the animal!
Just saw Felicity's footprints, and they were like lil paws <3
(Did I use "differ" right?)

I'm high off coffee.

I LOVE the lighting in this game. In the house, and out! <3

Dj K.K. visited me while I was working part time for Brewster and I realized that both he and K.K. Slider are the only animals who don't wear any clothes. I'm not too sure about Celeste and Blathers.
 
When I first got ACNL, I didn't notice it right away but seeing the fun shaped smoke flow out of the villagers' chimneys is really cute. I mean, Diana has a fish shaped one, Pietro has a star-shaped one? Cool! It's little details like that that make me really love this game. I also had no idea until recently that you could get different grass-shaped patterns. Mine happens to be triangle and I'm happy with that. There are also different tree-trunk ring shapes that you can get depending on the fruit you were growing or something like that. I saw some heart shaped ones which is really neat.
