I think I found the really annoying thing in this game: beetle farming is the only practical and reliable way (unless you play the stalk market with others) to make enough bells to afford all the house upgrades and public works projects, which really takes away from the fun of it and turns it into a tedious chore. Looks like I'm going to be tearing up my island soon to optimize it for farming.
Expect some pictures soon. I've been lazy to remove the SD card and just left the lid closed when not playing. Let's just say there's a villager I don't like now. >_> |

Now for my pictures. Mmm, gassy vegetables Holy fish sticks! I caught a coelacanth! At least they acknowledge that first syllable is hard to pronounce. Happy birthday, Bluebear! First public works project completed There's something unsettling about that shirt. Hehe, it's pretty cute to see these two beetles duke it out in the museum. Aren't they cuddly? I don't believe homework is a "fine" item. Gulliver landed in my town! *breathes in and out slowly* I HATE YOU FOR PLOPPING YOUR STUPID HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FRUIT ORCHARD, DESTROYING MY TREES IN THE PROCESS. Seriously, this is the absolute worst feature in this game! The random placement of houses makes it practically impossible to design an entire town around a pixel-perfect theme without somebody fudging it up! I found this image online. That should sum it how terrible it can be. They really should have retained the sign posts from before so you know where the houses will be. Hey, I'm the mayor. I should be allowed to evict them or decide where their homes go. We need to run the Homeowner's Association instead of letting them push our "perfect towns" around! |

Regular axes don't last long at all. They usually show signs of breaking after cutting down 4 trees. (I think they break completely after the 8th tree) I'm still trying to find a way to get a Silver/Gold axe, but I'm not having any luck. >_>

Recent happenings from Everfree:
My house now has a 6X6 upper floor, and I can now start expanding to other rooms (this doesn't smell cheap at all). Got a nice silver net from the museum, which continues growing nicely (got some dinosaurs completed, including the T-rex). Also Club LOL finally opened today. If you go there after 8 PM, KK is there playing party rave mixes of his songs. If you go on Saturday it'll be like previous games where you can request a song and then get a copy for your music player. Me in front of my current dwelling. Woah, this game is based on true events!? Aww, it's so fuzzy and cuddly. yo dawg, we heard you like stuff... I know that feel bro *hugs* Me shaking my groove thing to DJ KK. Haha, that guy on the screen has a funny face. Wait a second... |

Yeah, I was walking and I barely saw it off screen. I readied my net and slowly walked to it. It turned around to see me and we just had a stare off. I slowly inched over and it just stared at me. I was able to sneak close enough to catch it without it attacking. /coolstorybro
Hmm, this is the first Animal Crossing game where I caught a bee and a attacking ground bug. Not sure if because I have better gaming skills, or it's just easier in New Leaf. Also I saw a tarantula while on the title screen once. Last edited by Yoshi648; June 28, 2013 at 09:29:32 AM. |

I managed to catch 3 dorado's! I had absolutely no idea they were rare, so I donated one and planned to sell 3. It was only when they payed me 30,000 Bells that I knew something was special.
I also caught 2 tarantula's and I'm keeping one as a pet because I can. As my first public works project, I began collecting funds for a street lamp and no one decided to donate so I payed half of it off myself. And then, like Cat, became extremely annoyed that someone decided to plonk their house in the middle of my planned cafe location. Last edited by RotomGuy; June 28, 2013 at 08:09:31 AM. |

Well, something interesting happened this morning. I was walking around town and I saw this out of the corner of my eye.
It's a Jacob's Ladder! When these appear, it's a sign that your town has a perfect environment. I have NEVER been able to get one of these in any of my AC games Sure enough, when I visited the Town Hall, Isabelle notified me that my town did actually achieve perfect status. If it's just like the last AC game, I can get a Gold Watering can if I can maintain a perfect town for 10 days. I also visited Katrina today...and she said that disaster was heading toward my health. >_< Luckily though, the lucky item she explained was a T-shirt, which I was already wearing. So now I'm not going to be falling all over the place. |

Welcome to the Anyway, no one except one person in my town decided to donate to this lamp so I payed it all off myself. And I decided to start breeding flowers early, unlike my other AC games. I got a Blue Pansy! Although it isn't much, it's something as I couldn't breed anything in older games. I also found a new flower, a White Lily.

You should probably spend the first couple days getting acquainted with the game. It takes time for things to unlock, and there are still lots of activities to do on your own. If you visit someone's town, you'll likely spoil many of the things you'll get before getting them (which have been talked about at length in this thread, such as beetle farming).

Today I visited Reuniclus to get a Pikmin Hat, picked up some new fruit.
Twiggy visited me and is currently roaming my town right now. I managed to pay my loan off and begin expansion constructions just before Nook closed, and visited the new person who tore up my building plans with their poorly located house. It turned out to be Coco, a bunny with a coconut for a head. Not sure if its a mask or hat, but it's weird. |

OHMYGOSH KK SLIDER! Yes I wanna go to space. I like trains. The artwork for K.K. Disco. It's funky man! Yeah, KK songs now have artwork so you can either put it in your music player, or hang the art on your wall. Also KK now plays multiple songs per night, but you only get the CD for the first song. Also my new Pokemon Trainer outfit I found online (very appropriate for bug/fish hunting. Gotta catch 'em all right?). You had ONE job, and you fall asleep during it. Uh, Chester IS a bear. Because of that, this pun can go in multiple directions now. |

So recently, Club opened up for me. I managed to get K.K. Adventure from K.K. Slider (I'd really like to get Two Days Ago, it's my favorite song). But otherwise, I danced with Dr. Shrunk. x3
Ohhhhh NO. It's that cat that got stuck in my Wild World town and kept following me around! At least now I have the choice to leave her be. I traveled to Cat's town to sell 9 stacks of Perfect Oranges, but I didn't expect to get this many bells for the stacks. I CAUGHT MY FIRST COELACANTH! What's more is that I walked around 6 steps to the right and I caught another one! Cat and I both catching coelacanths like pros. (I'm starting to doubt that coelacanths are extremely rare) Maaaaaaan, I get you. I was speechless when I saw this. 2 Silver items for sale upstairs at the museum! (I didn't have either of these before either) |

I randomly played the original and City Folk for a little bit today. A few pictures I must share: Original Second fish I caught, and it was a coelacanth. Yep, that's about right. The last time I remember playing was right before Wild World came out, but it appears I played it last about 4˝ years ago. I think I had tried time traveling to 2003 just for different seasons, though. So many weeds! Extra comments I used a lot of the codes to get Nintendo items, and the housing center and my basement were covered with random items and raffle tickets. I don't think the catalog existed at the time, the house could only have three rooms, and storage items could only hold three items each. Also, Nook's was closed (due to the raffle, and I had no June tickets) so I couldn't sell all the junk lying around in my basement. The post office was almost completely full, and there were lots of presents. I'm betting some of those were fossils, as you had to mail them to the Faraway Museum. My music collection was about a third of the songs. My second house had quite a few town models and musical instruments. At least I was able to check out the island too. City Folk ...Seriously? I found one beetle, and it was a rainbow stag. (Also, you can't sneak in City Folk, but you can in the original.) This was the first clover I pulled. Wow. Extra comments On the other hand, this game had barely been played. I think it's because City Folk is more of a port of Wild World than a completely new entry in the series. (Yoshi played it a lot, but he skipped Wild World.) I didn't have many fish or bugs in the museum, the house only had a single floor, and I didn't own a single K.K. Slider song. I don't believe I ever time traveled in this one, either. I'll be back to posting New Leaf screenshots after this. I think I may actually resume the original a little bit, if only to clean up the junk around my house. It's been eight years since I started it, and maybe I can play it a little bit once I run out of stuff to do in New Leaf. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; June 30, 2013 at 07:35:46 PM. |

Oh, Cat, you sneaky guy. You've been playing this game without me, so now it's my turn.
I moved in to Cat's town and stole the place right next to the bulletin board, then I took some of the foreign fruit (mmm, peaches) from the trees and sold them at Re-Tail to pay off my debt. No more tent for me in the morning! Pity I don't get to steal his encyclopedia too. Oh, and the VERY first fish I caught? A freshwater goby, which wasn't in the museum.

I just got the game and moved into the town of "Venturas" named after Las Venturas out of the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I named my character Jake, which some of you know is my IRL name.

Hey, mind if I visit and stay a wink so I can steal one of those peaches? It's one of the few fruits I don't have in my town. And yet I still haven't found a perfect orange...

More pictures! ^^
Rotomguy visited my town 2 days ago and we ended up going on a few tours together. This is unrelated, but our miis look exactly alike o.o I got my first Silver Slingshot! I ended up seeing two more flying around in the air after finding this one, but I could only shoot 1 of those down. This was the one I couldn't shoot down. By the time I saw it, it was flying to the left and it was over the water. :< ARAPAIMA BABY Also caught my first tarantula in New Leaf! (and maybe first time in any AC game). Tarantulas have a tendency to run into rivers or disappear randomly in this game. |

Please don't be disheartened by this, but I've recently found out about a few game-breaking bugs existing in this game. I already mentioned the non-bug where attempting to be sneaky with SD cards will completely wipe your save data, but there are a few other issues that apply to both the digital and physical versions.
Major issues include:
Intermediate issues include:
Minor issues include:
Non-bugs include:

Slider's acoustic performance until the 13th. Club LOL takes WAY too long to open!) Oh hey, villagers do water flowers even without the Beautiful Town ordinance. Ouch! That scorpion wasn't cuddly. Let's get some hybrids! Ooh, a fan of REO Speedwagon? And I was half expecting a sword. Oh wait. Yep, turnips are definitely the best way to make money in this game.

The fossil one is always difficult with more people. Filling out more than one house while worrying about the position of the fossils just makes things more complicated.
The Labyrinth is usually easier with more people. Everyone collects the fruit (whether or not they need it) and drops it at the beginning of the level for others to pick up. Pure and I did this trick and it worked very well. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; July 5, 2013 at 12:43:46 PM. |

I finally finished my intricate path system! I don't care if it doesn't protect the grass, I was INSPIRED! Plus it looks pretty cool. The flower project could be better since I'm looking for more hybrid flowers. The breeding process is so tiring to me that I just don't feel like doing it, though...
And now I finally got the QR Code Machine from Sable! It was such hard work getting her to like me. After reading up on her backstory from other Animal Crossing games because I will most likely never play them a day in my life it's so DEEP and emotional.

I visited Pure's town a few days ago. We both caught a lot of squid. :3 The café also opened up in my town after funding a public works project. I love drinking coffee~ but it looks like Brewster doesn't have a gyroid storage anymore just like he had in City Folk. Me, Kaz, and Rotom heading to the island. (I'm jealous of Kaz's halo >:c) We make a great gardening team. I knew this was going to happen eventually- my perfect orange trees are starting to go rotten. D: This is probably my favorite fish in the game. Cat told me earlier about this kind of fish- apparently they're rare. Shampoodle is now open in my town! This is what I currently look like in front of my house. It definitely feels more like home. I caught my first scorpion! As soon as I took out my net, this guy actually started walking toward me until it was in range of my net. :3 |

Kicks also opened so now I can get rid of these basic things (No, I shall keep them FOREVER!) And now... I've FINALLY finished funding my first public works project! Oh man, I feel so great~!

Jeez, I sure take a lot of junk pictures (tapping both buttons by accident while running, funny phrases that aren't funny enough to share, and other stupid stuff). Time to sort 'em!
If you're going to plant a pitfall seed, try not to step on it. Aww, it looks cuddly~ That's the right kind of gift, right? One you just saw me pluck off your neighbor? Double rainbow all the way! She's on a magical adventure! I got a digital photo frame for taking her to another town. You can't hide from me! Right, that's what I want to hear. Also, I want your cardboard table! (Hint: it's rare.) Is that a sequel to The Butterfly Effect? I'm not sure what the other one is a reference to, though. Sweet! I even managed to swipe a silver shovel from there. Buy! Buy! Buy! That cover looks strikingly like the cast to Star Fox. My luck is terrible with these scorpions. Don't mind if I do! (Hint: it's also rare.) Yay, now I can decorate it with a whole ensemble. I don't need to sleep. Can you beat my time on the Elite Scavenger Hunt? Sweet, perfect town! Now just to keep it for 15 days. >_> Sell! Sell! Sell! About time I can start getting emotions.
