Animal Crossing: New Leaf |OT4| Lives Can Be Cataloged But Not Reordered

That would explain it. Makes sense.
Goddamn. That means that you spent over 35% of the time between the release date and now playing Animal Crossing. 35% of the last 3 months was spent in a virtual town!
Wait, do I have to water them even if I have the beautiful town ordinance? That may be why nothing has sprung up lol.
More accurately, my 3DS was open and had Animal Crossing on during that % of time. I'm sure I've had a decent amount of idling

Feeling kind of guilty right now after spending over half an hour convincing Bob to move into my town from the campsite- it seemed like he genuinely didn't want to move in.
Hopefully he can settle in, I don't really want to sell him off on GameFAQs (shudder)!

If it's a villager that you really want, it's worth it.
I'm just under 500 hours (probably at 475)
Lol I had that infection very early on. Exact same shirt.

Some personalities take longer to convince than others. Emptying your pockets of all items/tools/bells can speed it along but I've had a hard time with lazies too. Apollo, a cranky, is the only one who's ever moved in on the first try. Enjoy Bob.

It took me a while to work out I needed to have an item of furniture in my pockets which I could barter against him moving in on a game of paper-scissors-stone to get him in.
Once I started ignoring other game he wanted to play I got him in pretty quickly (and only lost one piece of furniture).
I had it real early on too, like second week of launch early. Olaf was in my town and literally EVERYONE had his matador's jacket. Pashmina was the last one to just recently change out of it too.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
*Gasp* Snake caught a wild Mayor!
Now I'm locked in a little tank in Snakes house. Can somebody come and walk by him with a bunch of furniture in your pocket until he pings and asks for something the same size as me?
I'm at 529 hours, but that's including the time spent camper spamming and neighbor placing. So somewhere around 500.
Axel got everybody to wear his fresh shirt. The record was 6 villagers wearing it... And that was AFTER Axel had changed into something else. The jerk. It wouldn't be soo bad if the shirt wasn't so incredibly bland. Just a white shirt with some faded green at the bottom. Lame. Now I have to see Axel and his lame shirt in my Main street... Hopefully villagers don't copy clothes of Main Street ghosts.
How do you guys get your villagers to change shirts?
Like, when/what is a good time/type of request that gets them to change into it?
Julian is wearing that default white button down shirt from Able Sisters and it spread to 3 other villagers. D: I gave him an icy shirt (it has his favorite color), but he displayed it inside his house instead.

Mail them shirts, or keep whatever shirts you want them to change into in your inventory and keep talking to them til they ask to buy one of them.
My worst shirt trends were the BB tee (4 villagers), reggae tank (4 villagers), and 3-ball tee (also 4 villagers). Groucho is still in the 3-ball tee.

I think I'm closing in on 300. Haven't checked in awhile. Small potatoes compared to some, but quite a feat for me personally. I don't think I've invested this much time in any game throughout the course of my life.
Right now I'm just farming the occasional PWP and focusing on hybrids. I never really bothered with hybrids in past AC games. Just set my town ordinance to beautiful town last night in hopes that this will help speed things along.
315 hours since June 13th. Thought it'd be less wtf.
Is Gulliver only showing up in Summer or something? Haven't seen him washed up on the beach for two weeks now.

Nothing is more frustrating that finding 3 fossils and the pitfall seed and roaming around town for almost an hour trying to find the fourth fossil. Ugh such a waste of time

Deirdre spread her fall leaf shirt around when she moved in but that's been my only clothing epidemic. I have bigger problems with catchphrases spreading. I've had a bunch of quacking villagers for awhile now. Yet only one of them is actually a duck.
Nah, he's still around but he disappears on me for long periods too.
I do this with embarrassing frequency. (Except it takes me days to find it not hours.) You have my sympathies.

I inadvertently did that when I changed Punchy's catchphrase to "meow". Now Angus and Skye are both meowing.

Most of my villagers are saying bo peep and calling me boss. Willow and Biskit are the trendsetters in my town.
The 3-ball shirt was a fashion trend in my town as well thanks to Leonardo. Lately it's been my own 'I Heart Seabass' tee shirt. Today though I saw a villager give another a Vegetarian Tee so I fear that will soon be spreading around.
As for catchphrases, I haven't had a problem with that. Although Peewee (a cranky gorilla) has picked up Deirdre's catchphrase 'for reals' which is pretty funny to hear him say, so I'm fine with that.

Oh, this kinda worked. He didn't wear the first shirt, but he immediately wore the second one. lol. Thanks.
No problem
I also have spare scary and jolly paintings if you (or anyone else) needs thoseOh god, the vegetarian shirt is terrible D: catchphrase wise, Sparro's "like whoa" was pretty popular, 4 or 5 were saying it at various points. I had 3-4 saying "rawr" at one point as well. No problems now really, though Muffy is now saying "ooh banana" thanks to Tammi.
No problem
Never thought of that. Nice tip.
That's sort of what I did...
Little grave site. Pitfall stays there since villagers don't walk in that area close to the cliff.
Also funny when unsuspecting guests walk over it and fall in; makes it look like an open grave.
Weird day today. Not a single hybrid. Rain really appears to fuck up hybrid growth, which is odd.
I had Katrina, who warned me of financial woe, so I banged a T-shirt on. I assume that this avoided a shitty money rock, but have no idea what else it could have affected.
I tried putting a Zen Bell on a outcrop of cliff, next to my waterfall. I assumed it was 2x1 like the regular bell, but it just wouldn't fit. Had to change my plan and put a regular bell in its place, which means I'll have to replace the existing regular bell with the Zen Bell. It'll be good regardless, but the apparent dimension difference confused me. My hope is that you will be able to hear the bells from each other when rung.
Finally unlocked the Log Bench, which is a PWP I've wanted for a long time. Just leaves the Wysteria Trellis and the Windmill that I am really looking to unlock and build.
And after weeks of deliberation I have decided to build the Trash Can. Too often do I find my pockets full of useless crap like rotten peaches and shitty flowers. I do wish it was a bit...prettier though.

Ha ha. Awesome. Reading that was like that scene in Lock Stock about arse-intruding dildos.

Can I come get some petition signatures from someone's town real quick please?

I stuck my Pitfall on my private beach, hidden behind the cliff, never to be seen again.
Was contemplating putting my fossils there too if that works.

It does.
If you still need this, I can open up for you.

Yes, please and thanks.
I think one should have a good chance for a pic. (Unless I just jinxed it.)

Hmmm, I didn't realize villagers can copy catchphrases. Makes sense. I didn't remember getting Genji to say Francine's 'rowr'. I figured I did and forgot.
Don't you wanna make the mini skeleton models?

This was such a revelation to me when I figured it out.
Understandable if you're used to selective watering. Rain definitely helps but you can't target certain flowers the way you can on dry days.
Kind of a lousy day but your reason for editing made me lol.
Ok, sorry for the delay. Opening.
This is news to me. So there is literally no point in watering any flowers on days that it rains? Suggests I am particulalry unlucky to not get any hybrids today. Every single flowerbed I have should be capable of producing them.
Oh well. Tomorrow I'll get a couple of blue roses and a Gracie visit. Believe.
That's true, but there seemed to be another effect too. I was yammering at Philia about it a few months ago and came to the conclusion that flowers need sunshine too, since I got next to nothing on rainy days.

I wouldn't say there's no point but when I TT in the rain, hybrids multiply like bunnies. And I certainly haven't ever taken the time to water flowers in that town. When it's dry, I see very few hybrid spawns. That suggests to me if I'm trying to coax a few, say, blue roses, my selective watering is being negated by a rainy day.
