So, I want to start my game over because I messed up my town layout using a map editor and I don't want to spend time to fix it.

I know Rover gives you 4 choices when you start your game and I want to sell my town to Nook and keep my catalog.

Will I be able to reset and keep the bells if the town layouts don't interest me or will I lose everything if I reset? I can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks.

You can only reset your town and keep your bells only if Tom Nook offers to buy it, and he will only offer to buy it when your Town Tree is a minimum size:

Also, when you reset, you have the option of keeping your item catalog, or also selling that off too. If you keep your item catalog, just remember you can't order anything until the convenience store is upgraded once so the shop terminal shows up for ordering.

I fucked up majorly and got into this again. At first it was a nightmare of annoyance as my town is overrun by flowers and my dream of a peaceful garden is slipping away. An animal moved in directly onto my foot path. Missed my orange orchard is that is something I guess.

The camper stuff is pretty cool. The MEOW tokens is an interesting mix. EAGERLY awaiting my storage upgrade tomorrow.

So, 30 minutes of gardening turned into island games with my sister then running around burying treasure/hide and seek in my town. Then I moved some roses to a small island on the beach so people stop swimming there to bury junk and now I'm thoroughly enjoying my time here again. Already bought some presents and a watermelon from the camper area.

If you guys want to visit my dream it is here.

I'd open the gates but I'm going to bed.

Also... I couldn't help myself.

Hey, nice to see you playing again

Also, I like the zen bench ._.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

Also, I like the zen bench ._.

It's not Asian enough... that's not racist, right?

I say that because I wanted to use the Zen Clock/Light/Garden with the Hot Spring enclosed in a Bamboo area to make a nice tranquil area, and a bench that looks like a table with red cloth on it doesn't really seem to fit the theme of other Zen items. Being OCD can suck sometimes.

I know that. I think my question wasn't clear.

Normally, when you start a brand new game, you can reset your game as much as you want if the layouts given by Rover don't interest you. By choosing to sell my town to Nook, is it still possible or am I stuck with 4 choices if I don't want to lose the bells?

It's still possible. It's not locked in, so you can do a reset and get the same option from Nook again to sell.

Remember when planning stuff out, each PWP needs one blank square surrounding it, so the closest two PWPs can be to each other is two squares away from each other.

Apple on premium in my town.

Also, looking for harmonoids of various stature


Did they "fix" only 4 gyroids being active at a time? So dumb when there's more than 4 in a set and they can't all be active.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

Paid off my last loan for my last home expansion.

Completed my joke book and got a swag yellow blazer with circles on it.

Now I just need a PWP suggestion to round out my productive day.

Yes, only 4 at a time. I have a showroom in the museum that has 48+ gyroids, and only 4 will ever make sound at the same time.

 

[ladyluthien]

Just got my first coelacanth!
Took me forever to get him attracted to my hook but then he was mine. I caught five new type of fish and one new bug tonight. I must be having a good luck streak.

 

[Novocaine]

Does anybody have that Japanese stationary furniture set that I can have/catalog and maybe any other weird sets you can't get with normal play?

 

[BGBW]

So finally got inside Graham's house only to find that his sloppy sofa has been nicked by the previous major.

Now there really is little reason to keep him around (well at least the sloppy stereo is up for grabs still)

So I have Epona, Link's horse, moving into my town. Her RV is a Zelda fan's wet-dream. 8-bit Zelda wallpaper and flooring, all the variations on the Link costume, the moon from Major's Mask, Lon Lon Ranch Milk, a heart container piece, etc.

I thought, screw it, why not have her move into my town?

 

[Jay RaR]

Just found my last fossil for the museum today. No more spending 20 minutes fossil hunting anymore!

I have most of the Zelda stuff but the stuff you can get in Epona's RV might be the best lol. And you can always kick her out, get her stuff, and move her back in if you have the amiibo cards.

so to make more bells im going to the island in the night to catch the big bugs, is there others way to make more bells?

fishing and catching bugs is the safest and stress free route.

There is the stalks game it can be risky but the payout per turnip batch..

I have finally gotten all exotic fruit trees to mature; add me to the list of people who can provide folk with some fruits :3

Oooo that turnip flip but you have to check everyday

While your results may vary, what has helped me be successful with selling buckets of turnips (recommended by AHappyPanda a few pages back) is the AC Turnips Subreddit. I've done it three times so far and have made ~7 million bells so far (each week I invested 500,000-700,000 in bells to do it). I have grinded for beetles and sharks way too long on my first playthough, and after restarting my town after the Welcome Amiibo update I just have no desire to keep poaching the wildlife.

I know this is the community thread so of course everyone here would recommend it, but what would you said I should know before purchasing? Thanks!

The shortest way I can sum up AC:NL is that it's a lite life simulator. You're suddenly the mayor of a town and in various ways work your way up; build a house, make it bigger, catch fish and bugs to make money, find fossils to donate to the museum, make friends with villagers, watch them move out and new ones move in, and make the town beautiful.

And as with life itself, things here will take time; trees take days to grow, shops refresh their inventories daily, surprise visitors show up, home remodeling doesn't happen instantly, and so on. The game is very much on its own calendar of 24-hour days.

I've personally enjoyed it recently as a casual fidget game, just turning it on and getting some objectives done until I close it up. When I first got the game about two years ago, I was going through a bad depression, and with casual peaceful games like AC:NL and Tomodachi Life, they (along with other things) helped me worked through it. AC:NL is my primary casual game among the tons of other games I play on other platforms.

If you've remotely liked games like Harvest Moon, or more recently Stardew Valley sans combat (heck, even the casual tasks of peaceful Minecraft), this will potentially be a game you'd like.

Hear hear!!

Holy shit this never happens to me. And I don't buy turnips as a result.

On an entirely different note, I am absolutely floored by how this game has managed to rope me back in, time and again.

Now, with this update, the game has me checking daily all over again, buying Amiibo figures and cards (something I swore I would never, ever do), buying an RFC reader for my OG XL...and I've now clocked over 300 hrs since the game's launch.

No game has ever had me coming back, on a consistent basis, for over 3 years (going on 4 this summer).

Un-friggin-believable!

The early game is very slow and seemingly mundane and can seem very boring.

The more you learn about the game's various systems, tasks, events, etc. is when it starts to get interesting.

AC is a weird game in that, on the surface, it looks like some cute life simulator...which it is. But then you discover there's fortune telling, there's a random fashion designer that visits your town, but in order to get them to open their store, you have to do x, y and z, there's flower breeding, that weird noise you hear is actually an insect you have to dig for, there's more potential villagers than you will likely ever see and each has their own specific coffee tastes, etc.

If you can get yourself to buy into the meta of the game, and there's a lot of it, AC will keep you checking into your town on the daily for days, weeks, months, even years.

But in the end, some people either can't get past the early game, or ultimately, find the tasks too mundane or even pointless.

I was in the same boat as you back when the game was first released.

Never played an AC game before but the general appeal had my interest and so I was curious about getting what would be considered a "must-have" 3DS title. I had friends who enjoyed the series before, so I wanted to see if it would be for me. I was actually convinced I'd be making a mistake, since I live abroad and importing a North American copy wasn't possible so I had to take a gamble and buy it digitally.

Just see my post above.

The greatest thing I can say for it is that there is always something to do, always something new to discover, and the game will give you reasons to boot it up daily, even if just for 10-15 minutes to accomplish something you had on your mind.

It's also the single most charming game I have ever played; endlessly endearing.

It is the quintessential "sick back and chill" game.

Unfortunately I didn't buy any turnips either.

Ahh, shame I was working around the time this happened. I have 60,000 turnips to sell by the end of the week. I'll keep checking the ACTurnip reddit for any price over 400.

EDIT: Just sold on ACTurnips

Does this seriously work? The instructions aren't exactly clear.

Do I buy turnips, then input prices until it tells me to sell? Or do I input numbers for a whole week before buying so it can predict the coming week?

Anyone here use this with consistent results?

Yes, although it's been awhile and I never used it much. If I remember, there's only like 4 types of price patterns, which I thought it had explained. It doesn't mean you'll profit because one of the patterns is always a loss, but as soon as you give it enough data to detect that, it will tell you to cut your losses (or of course you can sell in someone else's town).
