IIRC you get to choose after getting a 100% approval rating as a mayor(?)

And how long does that usually take?

 

[Frogstep]

Can grind it out pretty quickly. Here's some of the stuff you can do that'll give you some quick points.

http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/starting-the-game/
This site should help you out:

On the day after you become the mayor, Isabelle will ask you to perform various duties around town to increase your approval rating. On the day after you create your town, you can find out your rating by sitting in your mayor chair. After reaching a 100% approval rating, you unlock the ability to create public works projects and pass ordinances.
How to increase your Approval Rating and Earn Mayor Points

As the mayor, you can reach your 100% approval rating from Isabelle in the following ways:

Change the town tune = 3 points (one time only)
Put something up for sale at Re-tail = 3 points (one time only)
Change the town flag = 3 points (one time only)
Post something on the bulletin board next to the station = 3 points (one time only)
Donate a fish, bug, fossil, or artwork to the museum = 3 points (one time only)
Pull weeds = 1 point each
Water flowers = 1 point per day
Remove trash from the water by fishing = 1 point each
Introduce yourself to all of your villagers = 1 point each
Send a letter = 1 point each
Play each day = up to 3 points each day

 

[Shizuka]

That doesn't sound too bad, thank you very much for the tips.

 

[Frogstep]

Anyone with turnip prices over 110? *pouty face*

Turnip prices are currently at 209 for me.

 

[Shizuka]

Accidentally sold the shovel and fishing line I just bought from Nookling. Should I restart the game? They aren't selling any other units at the store.

 

[789shadow]

Man, http://animalcrossingnl.mooo.com/ has been down all day and it has CRIPPLED ME. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BUY/SELL ANYTHING IF I CAN'T CHECK MY CATALOG.

You can if you want, won't get shout at by a mole...not yet anyway ;D

Resetti just showed up! I guess you can't get away with murder in this game.

Lol okay then thought he won't show up till later XD, but guess you can get him earlier ;D

 

[Shizuka]

Starting to get the hang of the game. What do I do with the coins I get from shaking a few trees?

Just add it to your bell total on your item screen.

 

[Shizuka]

Should I sell the fossils I find or donate them to the museum?

 

[Niraj]

Should I sell the fossils I find or donate them to the museum?

Donate the ones your museum doesn't have, then sell your extras. You can do that with fish, bugs, and eventually stuff you get from diving as well.

Or don't, it's up to you!

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Should I sell the fossils I find or donate them to the museum?

I would donate to the museum first and then sell the duplicates that you'll inevitably get when you play later on.

Should probably donate any bug/fishes you catch the first time so you know you can sell them later on as well.

 

[Shizuka]

Great, gonna donate it since it's my first. I just saw a gift floating on a balloon across town, what's up with that?

 

[Samurai_Heart]

You'll need a slingshot to shoot down those presents, which will carry items that are made of balloons which you won't be able to find at Nooks or order those items from them.

 

[Shizuka]

And I get a slingshot from Nookling, am I right?

 

[eudaemonic]

Just woke up from my nap... mind if I pop over? *chuckles*

You forgot to mention that it's the ugliest furniture in the game.
(And yeah, from the little tanooki bastards...)

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Should do but you'll have to wait a new day if the tools that was on sale wasn't a slingshot.

*Shush* let them find out when they set the furniture out in the house =P...dear god balloon furnitures are ugly lol.

 

[Shizuka]

I think I've done pretty much everything I could for the first and second days. I'll have my house built tomorrow and work on catching bugs.

 

[Frogstep]

I can open up if you still want to sell your turnips.

 

[eudaemonic]

I can open up if you still want to sell your turnips.

Please! ^_^

 

[Frogstep]

Please! ^_^

Opening up! I'll be AFK.

 

[Anustart]

I'm on month six of no gracie visits. Spent at least 300,000.

 

[Hours Left]

Dawn of the final day... ;_;

 

[Warrior_Keoni]

Rise and Shine for the big bug hunt and summer solstice!

Though it's raining here where I'm living at... -_-

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Dawn of the final day... ;_;

=(
See you at Fantasy Life though =)

 

[Marvie_3]

Golden net!

I didn't realize Isabelle would be standing in front of town hall today. That jerkass bug guy could have at least moved his tent over a little bit for her.

Yeah, fuck Nat. At least Chip admits he's just running the fishing tourney to eat, Nat thinks he's being clever by hiding it. Guy sucks.

 

[789shadow]

So with http://animalcrossingnl.mooo.com/ down I'm crippled in terms of catalog. Is there any other good catalog site?

You could use this app I guess. There's an iOS version as well I'm sure.

Would it work on an iPod Touch? If not, no chance.

 

[Niraj]

Says it's compatible with iPod Touch. "Compatibility: Requires iOS 5.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5."

 

[Collete]

Like the fishing tourney, I shall not care about catching bugs =_=

 

[Marvie_3]

Like the fishing tourney, I shall not care about catching bugs =_=

I usually turn a few things in during the tourneys but I don't go out of my way to try and win them anymore. I figure my animals could enjoy a self esteem boost once in awhile considering I lord over them and crush their spirit every other day of the year.

 

[eudaemonic]

Hey Westraid, I managed to scrounge up a red, orange, and indigo pinwheel (along with a chocolate soft serve). You need any of those?

 

[Frogstep]

Gee I wonder who did this while I was AFK yesterday. Didn't notice the tip you left until today, thanks T!

Got my gold net today and a second pair of ladder shades. Third place in the bug contest so far but I'm also not very enthusiastic about participating any further other than contributing one bug.

What a dick. Don't worry, I'm going to make it my personal responsibility to find this scum and bring him to justice.

Good looking out yo. Nicest guy I know, knew you'd have my back. I would prefer it if you could make this individual have an 'accident'. Make him/her sleep with the gyroids.

Gold nets for some, miniature ladder shades for all! \^____^/

XD Shame that AC doesn't allow more pranks cept maybe tree chopping but that's a true dick move. I await the day Niraj pranks me ;P

 

[Hours Left]

Well, I got my golden net, said goodbye to all my villagers, and put Isabelle in charge. It's finally time for me to say farewell to New Leaf. ;_;

My shocking final play stats:

I can easily say I got a metric ton of value and enjoyment out of this game, and it was great to play along with all you guys and gals. I'll still check in on the topic and say hello, so I won't really be going anywhere, but my copy of New Leaf can finally take a well deserved rest.

Now the anticipation for Fantasy Life kicks into high gear!

Sure, you can come to my town. I have every type of fruit tree lined up near the south of my town. What's your FC? Mine is in my profile.
