I picked this game up a few weeks ago with some of my best buy gift cards. I've only visited one town so far since I only know a few people who own this title. I'm hoping I can friend some of you guys here.

Also, thanks for the link to that pattern program. Is that the best one to use when making patterns on Animal Crossing or are there others? Heh, I guess a google search would answer that.

 

[Koomaster]

Last night, did a pro bono design for Blathers, advertising the Noké (my town) Museum. I figure I can make a series of t-shirts for the museum to sell through Able Sisters. I'll probably make some souvenier shirts for the aquarium, insect house, and the art wing as well. Really get the villagers fired up about the museum.

Another nice flag!

The shirt is already working it seems. Everyone in town today was talking about how to dig up fossils, talking about how fossils are dinosaur bones, carrying around shovels. It's a regular fossil phenomenon in my town today. I'm sure it's a coincidence, but I like to think my shirt had a little to do with it anyway. ^___^;

Oh yeah, and a bunch were asking me to bring them fossils as well! Now that Lobo has learned all about fossils from his local museum, he wants me to bring him one. Nothing like having a fossil in your own home!

The cliff cuts it off, but Boomer is carrying around a shovel. He's really hyped up about finding that T-Rex torso!

Felicity is a little more passive, just wondering when the fossils will come to her.

Find out more about fossils at your local museum! ^____^

There was a web based one, but that site ran into some trouble with its host. The downloadable one seems the best for now.

Also I dunno what time my Nook and go closes, but its 10:14 in Tek Town and turnips are going for 134B each.

How long does it take to raise a red turnip again?

The one I used to make my town flag is here:

http://www.joshbuhler.com/mkemblem/

Although it is for designing Mario Kart emblems, it has the exact same number of squares as the animal crossing pattern maker.

sometimes the colors it chooses are a bit wonky but i just substituted better colors in. the main thing is that it makes it very easy to see which squares to shade in.

All you do is upload the pic you want and click draw!

[jibblypop]

Nook is buying turnips for 535 bells in my town.

I will leave the game open for an hour or so while im gone..

feel free to sell turnips!

edit: he's closed now since it's after 9.. sorry.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Woohoo I finally got the game! Does anybody have any fruit besides pears? I've sent my neighbors way too many letters to be considered healthy and all I get back are some lousy carpets. :lol Anyone wanna help out a newbie plagued with debt?

 

[chrisdat]

Does it count as time traveling when i visit a friend's town? My friend lives in Japan so she has her game set to Japan time...which is 15 hours ahead of my time. She also has a US Wii with the US version of the game.

I noticed that the turnip lady hasn't been in my town on Sundays..and i read somewhere that she doesn't come if you time travel. kinda sucks if visiting my friend's town would count as time traveling. i've been playing this game since launch with no intention of time traveling...solely bc you'd miss out on awesome stuff like the turnip lady.

btw. Blanca came into my town for the first time today. i was like OMGWTF i forgot about you lulz. she came to my town a dozen times in the DS version...surprised i haven't seen her at all 'til now.

 

[TJ Spyke]

It only counts as time traveling if you mess with your own clock. I have had Sundays where I had a hard time finding her, just keep looking.

Damn, I am pissed with myself that I missed your post jibbly. I have 24,000 turnips (which would have made me 12,840,000 bells :lol )

Nah we time travel all the time. She leaves at noon on sundays. Get up early.

Do these high prices just spike for one day? I will check again tomorrow although I fully expect the price to have shot back down to 70 by then... :lol

I'll post anytime he has a good price.

Wow. I cant believe I missed that!

 

[Monkeylord]

If you transfer your character and catalogue from the DS version, and continue to play both, is there any way to keep resyncing your catalogue?

I imagine it's a one time deal, but I thought I'd ask.

 

[Koren]

Do these high prices just spike for one day? I will check again tomorrow although I fully expect the price to have shot back down to 70 by then... :lol

No, it takes a couple of half days (three to four depending on the spike) to reach top and decrease in one or two half-days. Beware, prices are different before and after noon.

But there's also random patterns whih don't follow those rules (I don't think they reach 500+, though)

 

[TJ Spyke]

Need your town name too.

I have found out that all you need is the FC. You can enter anything you want for their town and name, it will automatically fix itself when you visit their town of they visit yours.

 

[Koomaster]

It's a one time deal. However, if you have an extra house in your town, I imagine you could move yourself in again with an updated catalogue. Not sure how the game would handle two of the same character moving in. But if it would work all you'd have to do is then do the Tom Nook tasks to get this clone set up.

Leave the clone money to repurchase the 'new' items in the catalogue, which he will then drop off at your doorstep. Then simply pick the items up and they are in your regular character's catalogue now.

It's a lot to go through, but if you were desperate for something, like having the feathers from Boondox, it would be worth it.

After you were done with the clone you could delete him. I think the option is either moving out or bulldozing a house. Just be sure to bulldoze the clone, not the original since they would both have the same name.

 

[beje]

Nook is buying turnips at 475 bells at my town, if anybody wants to come and sell, just drop me a PM with your friend code.

Code: 3695-4201-9234
Name: Beje
Town: Brinstar

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any kind of language issues with other visitors as half of my friend rooster is from Spain :lol

 

[TJ Spyke]

Cool.

Mind if I make more than 1 trip though? I have 24,000 turnips and would like to sell them all, but it would take like 2 or 3 trips.

 

[Koomaster]

Cool.

Mind if I make more than 1 trip though? I have 24,000 turnips and would like to sell them all, but it would take like 2 or 3 trips.

:lol About 10 trips. If you fill your inventory and letters (can you put turnips in letters; I'm not sure about that now) you can only carry 2,500 at a time.

You really went overboard on the turnips this week.

 

[TJ Spyke]

I mistyped, I meant 2,400. 24,000 would have been insane. Still should be a huge payday though.

I just tried, it won't let you put turnips in letters.

 

[jibblypop]

haha so just as I suspected even though Nook was buying turnips in my town for 535 last night, he is now down to 88 bells again! What a weirdo! :lol

PS who is basil from dorftown? a mother cat is looking for a kitten that is in your town!

 

[Caesar III]

I should start exchanging Friend codes, too.

I'll add tim, beje, jibblypop and tekno first. Would be cool if you'll add me as well.

Karsten | HmHausen | 3437-6823-3095

 

[TJ Spyke]

I'll add you too.

I've had to start deleting those who haven't added me, i've hit the 35 person limit. Some of those are GameFAQ posters though and I haven't had contact in awhile.

 

[Caesar III]

added you,

tekno, you do not have a friendcode yet?


I have to apologize in advance, if you visit my town it can take forever. Our connection is very bad. It works great but you have to have up to 5min time.

I opened my door. I'll post here when I close it again.
There's nothing special in my town today but you can take fruits if you like. All except of peaches should be avaiable atm.

 

[d+pad]

This morning I went into the city and *FINALLY* got a balloon. Yippee!! :lol (This is the first time I've been able to get one.)

Also, I finally donated enough bells to get a bridge. Funny thing is, the two location options Pelly gave me are right next to the two existing bridges. Sigh.

Next up: the fountain!

My god, I'm too obsessed with this game. I've been making retro gaming shirts (featuring sprite art) like a madman and plucking and selling a lot of fruit, too. Oh, and making what I'm sure will be my last snowmen of the season...

 

[TJ Spyke]

Same with me and the bridge. All the locations were next to existing bridges.

One annoying thing about Phineas (the guy who gives out the prizes) is that you can't order his stuff from Nooks. He has 25 items and you can only get 1 per day he appears. You can cheat a little and use all four possible players in your town, but it will still take awhile since he only appears on sunny days (and only sometimes, he doesn't always appear on a sunny day).

I just got the Famous Painting (aka the Mona Lisa) from Redd.

 

[Caesar III]

how long do I have to wait until the bridge will finally being made? We have 4 people in our town but two of them are only for storing patterns (the borders) and I haven't and I won't do(ne) the nook tasks. I hope they don't have to vote too, do they?

Helios, like he is named in German, was in my city today as well. Got a wind-wheel and my gf got a soap bubble thingy

 

[Teknoman]

I don't know about the bridge, I got that built when it was just me.

The bridge and fountain both take about a week to be built. I don't know about the lighthouse/windmill since I don't have it yet.

You should do the Nook tasks though, that way you can use the those players to get extra K.K. Slider songs (he won't do it for players that are still working for Nook).

 

[Caesar III]

I just don't want my townies to talk about them. That's why I haven't used them for more than moneystone and tree planting/axing

Anyone have a decent turnip price today?

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Mine's 150-something. :/

 

[Koomaster]

I don't think you have to vote, the game will make a decision on what has been voted so far. In fact, someone from another forum I post at accidentially clicked off the map screen for the bridges - didn't pick any of them, and the game didn't ask again. The bridge was still built. I guess it just choses randomly in that case.

And yeah, it takes about a week.

 

[Caesar III]

I closed the door. Nook is closed now anyway.

 

[Koomaster]

After working on it this past week, the environment in my town is perfect! Finally achieved the right balance of trees and flowers.

It took a whole lot of work. I always try to eyeball it first, but I am no good at that. Earlier this week the complaints in town hall kept flipping between 'Too many trees' and 'Not enough trees'.

Yesterday I went around and started measuring out a 5x5 acre grid for my town since this one seemed more like the GC version than the DS in terms of size. Then went around to each of the 25 acres counting trees and flowers.

At the end of the day, my chart I made said things should be perfect, but town hall was saying I needed more trees. Frustrated I decided to quit for the night.

Then today I started going around and rechecking things when I noticed two of my grid marks were off from each other... which in turn I found out that ALL my grid marks were off except for 1. So I had to redo the whole system and found the problem. Currently my town has 290 trees, and 334 flowers spread out over the 25 acres.

Now I just have to maintain perfection for a few weeks till my golden watering can comes in.

Yep yep! ^_____^

 

[d+pad]

Koomaster: Would you be willing to share how you divided up your town? How big (how many spaces) is each acre? And how did you designate the boundaries - did you just dig a hole at the corner of each acre?

This is one aspect of AC:CF I have yet to spend a lot of time with, but I'd like to give it a go at some point.

Also, what benefit does a gamer get for making a 'perfect town,' other than the golden watering can?

Other than the golden watering can (which makes golden roses), you can have 'Jacob's Ladders' growing in your town, which are pretty flowers. It also helps with hybrids to have a perfect town. People are also saying it 'heals' paths faster, but I dunno about that yet.

The town has 25 acres, and they are 16x16 spaces.

Once I reached a corner of an acre, I would place a pattern. So there would be 4 patterns every so often designating the four corners of four different acres. For instance...
-----------------
|x000xx0000x
|00000000000
|00000000000
|x000xx0000x
|x000xx0000x
|00000000000
|00000000000
|x000xx0000x

This represents the top left corner of my town let's say, and the x's are where I put patterns.

Then I would walk the acre and keep a count on a piece of notebook paper the amount of trees and the amount of flowers. Then drew a 5x5 grid (to represent my town) on another piece of paper and then put all the info of each acre in a box. Like I would write 12/11 - which meant 12 trees, 11 flowers in that acre.. That's how I kept track of it all and knew which acre needed more flowers/trees.

This website explains all about the Tree/Flower ratio you need, just scroll toward the bottom. It's for wild world, but the ratio apparently works for City Folk too.

That page also lists stuff I didn't talk about like weeds and things. It looks like it pretty much explains it all.

Good luck if you decide to make your town perfect. It can be a lot of work to mark out grids and such, but it's easier in the long run than wondering which acre has too many trees and which one has too few.

 

[boiled goose]

Emergency! Need to sell my turnips!

Anyone have decent turnip prices tomorrow?

[Koomaster]

Looks like GracieGrace is getting ready to change it's items. Even clothing is being sold out. I don't visit the store often so I don't know how long this has been going on. But it sucks since I really wanted the carpet, and now it is sold out. Snooze you lose I guess.

Good news is that everything left is 20% off. I bought the couch and the wardrobe of the series, but they still cost me 172,000 bells. :lol

 

[Teknoman]

Forgot to water my red turnip friday night, so lets try this again:lol Also does anyone use the Auction House? Saw someone from Dorftown named Aya put up a boxing barracade, but I havent really been a frequent AH visitor.

 

[Monkeylord]

I'm thinking of auctioning off the few snowman items I've received.

Only people you've registered can see your auction items, right?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Forgot to water my red turnip friday night, so lets try this again:lol Also does anyone use the Auction House? Saw someone from Dorftown named Aya put up a boxing barracade, but I havent really been a frequent AH visitor.

The auction feels like wasted potential; they could've made it much simpler. I don't go to the city most days, and since I don't keep a schedule of such things there's little telling whether at a particular time they'll be accepting items or accepting bids. If they just let anyone put up an item at any time with a regular limit of days, it would see more action.

 

[TJ Spyke]

There is indeed a schedule for bidding and selling. You get like 2 chances a month to do each (so you have like 2 days to sell something).

Anybody on your friend list can see and bid on your stuff. I remember seeing someone on my list selling a Jingle item there.

I went a little overboard today and bought 5,200 turnips (at 96 bells each).

 

[evilromero]

Picked this up a few weeks ago. So far I'm just toying with the daily activities cause I've already invested so much time into the previous two titles (more time on the Cube version, which is still the best with the NES games). I'm not sensing anything new with this one but it's still somewhat charming even if it always puts me to sleep (not joking either).

Caesar III, I've added you to my list. I have removed a few people that have not registered me. If any newer players would like to add me, I will do the same. I don't see anyone online as of late, granted most of the people on my list were around during the first week or so of release. I image some have stopped playing, or maybe I just have bad timing.
