I like how you can customize the furniture, go visit peoples towns using the dream-suite, gardening to get hybrid flowers. Those are just a few of my favorite things though. New Leaf as brought so much to this game it's hard to choose which is your favorite.
I do love gardening and planning out my town. Its one of the most favourite bits of the game for me. I also enjoy walking around my Museum and reading up on the bugs, fish and fossils I have collected. It's quite interesting to be honest
I love the freedom to landscape and decorate, it really satisfies my creative urges! In real life, I only have a small paved courtyard as my 'garden', and while I have put flower pots and ornaments in it, but I would love a real garden with trees and shrubs, so I channel all that energy into my ACNL town! I also enjoy the social aspect like trading and meeting up with friends to play mini games on the island. It's nice to spend time with others and share our ACNL towns after all the hard work that we've put into them!
My favourite thing is decorating and customising my character. There is so much cute furniture in New Leaf, not just the sets (Mermaid, Rococo, Robo) but also stand alone pieces like the marshmallow chair and the snowglobe :333
I also love the option to scan qr codes. Bless whoever thought that one up or else my town's paths would look absolutely dreadful if I couldn't rely on far more talented people to upload their super cute qr code paths.
Carmen. lol I really <3 her. She's an amazing person and she makes me happy.
I was watching The Vampire Diaries new episode a few days ago, and when Caroline came on, I was like "AAAACK, Carmen! I miss Carmen!" lol, cuz I hadn't played ACNL for a while, and I always see them as the same person. You would be very lucky to have one of them as your friend IRL.
