I have had garbage luck with my fortune cookies. Only have 11 coins and only won 1 thing(pikmin in dirt) :/ Otherwise I finally got 100% approval and almost paid off my second house expansion! Waiting for a friend to play online so I can get some new from his town. Fishing really is a great money maker!

How do I obtain more coins to get more fortune cookies??

I'm probably going to spend today gunning to pay off my first loan so I can open up the island and start raking in cash lol

Dont get your hopes up. I had my house this morning but Tortimer never showed up to tell me about the island. Might take a day or two longer than you hope.

You get 1 coin for every 100 steps the 3dsxl counts with its built-in pedometer. It counts while its in sleep mode.

I want to know why the kids can't go to the island while I can. Kapp'n isn't at the dock.

Walk around with your 3DS. It counts your steps. Max ten coins a day.

Others make sense, but why not run? Potential damage to flowers or is there something more?

I run in my own town a lot. I'm not damaging it am I?
Yes, you may ruin the flowers if you run into them. They will disappear.
Running over grass will cause Grass Deterioration. Many people would prefer to keep their grass and flowers intact.

You cant donate on other people's islands anymore.

Ah ok thanks. My son went running about someone's museum lol. No damage done and he knows the score now.

Thanks.

You can run anywhere that doesn't have flowers/grass.

Running will wear out your grass quicker, it's not supposed to be as bad in New Leaf as it was in City Folk, but there you have it.

You didn't add me or answered to my PM yet :( Or maybe you don't want to add people you don't know. I would also understand that.

im pretty sure people you invite to your town can donate stuff to the museum, that's what I mean. I'd prefer to do all that myself.

Nope, my gf was in my town (online connection) a few hours ago. The owl dude just wished her a nice day.

:( I tried to adress it a couple times but my FL is super full and I have tons of PMs asking to add me. Need to go through the list and delete people I dont talk to but its hard

i'll add everyone eventually

being popular is so hard u guyz
 
How do I tell that someone has added me and that my gates need to be opened?
Will it prompt me with their friend code or something?

So I'm seeing some people in this thread are able to go into other towns or have people give them tools they need. I sold my watering can and I think I'm gonna need a new one.
My friend code is 1719-6262-1272. How will I know when someone has added me?

huh, good to know I guess

its weird tho cause when you talk to blathers in MP I thought he said something like only letting peeps in your town donate or something. Guess I got it wrong

Was aware of the flowers obviously, but eek, didn't know about the grass. Read about it on the wikia for the GC version & the complaints about it (There was a petition apparently!). I thought it'd been taken out!

I shall tread carefully around mine and others from now on. Least I realised day one!

Oh, it's alright, I get it now. Maybe Nintendo should extend friend list to 500 people to super-popular user from GAF :D

So you can add people you meet on the island as friends? Are they friends just in the game or are they added to your 3DS friends list?

Well ef. So I bought a fake version of Lady with an Ermine. ;_;

Redd, next time I will come visit you with my new axe.

Happened to me too with the same exact painting. Does Redd only come once a week?

Some cat moved into town. Didn't like her. Then she bought a stag off of me for twice its re-tail value. I like her now.

Sadly you can't anymore, it was a feature in other animal crossing games. I used to do it to annoy people like you :3
 
So, reading up on the grass wearing / "animal tracks" It appears its not bugged in New Leaf as it was in City Folk (apparently). In City Folk you could literally have a desert town that would never grow back grass, effecting insects, events and furniture.

In New Leaf it creates the paths but is apparently fixed and won't go out of control. So you can make aesthetically unpleasing strips, but at least it's not game breaking.

Some people apparently do it on purpose to make paths/streets through their towns. Interesting...

Are some areas just patchy at spawn anyway? I can see a few barren areas in my town, but surely I haven't worn them out on day one after a few hours play?

I'm still on my first day/night but I just found that Sylvia is moving in and has a house being built... where I had planted my perfect peach.

Guessing there's nothing I can do? How often do perfect fruit show up?

I just downloaded AC.

It's 11.25pm in the UK and all the town shops are closed. I've got nothing but a tent, no bells and there doesn't seem to be anything for me to do.
Any tips for a newbie, or should I just switch it off and restart playing tomorrow?

Damn, this Shark hunting tour is easy.

You only need to catch 8 for gold and you get 15 medals each time.

So far I got 20 red hibiscus bushes i'm bringing back to the mainland.


These things need to be watered like the normal flowers or can I just plant em and forget about em like trees?

Just caught two gigantic Oak Silk Moths (330mm). Yup, I'm winning the bug contest tomorrow. I believe this moth is one of the biggest bug, so be sure to catch one for tomorrow! They're out at night and sit on trees. And they're BIG!

It doesn't really help to post this over and over again. If no one adds you, you might engage in conversation a little more :)

EDIT: Never mind, yeah, wait until tomorrow morning.

Actually they do add me, and then people stop playing so I need to add more people.
