Animal Crossing

[homeschooledgeek]

A couple little advice tidbits on the rocks. Use a gold shovel if you have it, because the rock can yield up to 30,000 bells if your gold shovel is used. And when you are going to hit a rock with your shovel, make sure that something solid is behind you, like a tree or another rock. Every time you hit a rock with the shovel you bounce back a little and you will end up to far away from the rock to hit it and you will get less money. If there is nothing solid around the rock, then dig a hole behind your character, since the character won't be able to move backwards over it. That way you can always get the max amount from all the rocks.

How do you get a golden shovel?

Yep...buy an extra shovel and bury it in the shiny spot. It'll grow a golden tree. Wait 3 or 4 days and then shake it

Ohhh! Awesome! I'll do that! Thanks!

What's also cool about that is that the tree is golden and it stays that way even after you take the shovel out, and you can do it many times. So you can grow all kinds of golden trees in your town! the only bad thing is that you can't decide where to put them, it's always random.

Well, to reply to the original post:


Yes, I quite enjoy Animal Crossing. To make money, I suggest fishing for Koi (along with others) in the area where the watterfall meets its end, planting your own garden of valuable fruits (ones not normally found in your town), running the occasional errand, etc...

To make your TOWN better, I suggest you:

After helping out and getting to know some of the residents of the town, write extensive letters to them. Don't send them anything short, such as 'hi', or they will know your writing has no inspiration. Not only will they be happier, they occasionally send you gifts. I actually got a nintendo arcade game from them: "Balloon Fight". Very addictive, I keep it on my coffee table.

Speak with the sculpture from which water flows in the town square to get hints on where there are too many trees or too many weeds.

Keep your town low on weeds.

Help the owl get the stuff he needs! In turn, your town will be more popular.


As for my design: Cabana!

I have some cabana dressers in the back where I store my usually used items, a cabana bed as a novelty, a coffee table with a couch from which behind it there are some exotic plants (this little area is blocked off on both sides by some dressing screens. etc...

I'm jealous...my 5 year old just got a basement... I want one. I went for the bigger room, instead. Her HRA points are through the roof and she just throws stuff in her house...LOL. Talk about unfair! My points barely leave the 2000's. They said my house looks like a warehouse. So I made it messier hoping that would help.

I send my daughter all kinds of money in the mail and pay off her debts. She just buys stuff like it's nobody's business! I told my husband she's DEFINITELY not ready to live on her own yet...no sense of responsibility!

Love, Heather

Even I am an animal crossing player.

My house is all paid off, the store is its final upgrade, but lately i havent played it.
That game is so overly addictive, im surprised it didnt arouse as much contreversy as pokemon, (which is totally ridiculous) man.

The best way to make money? Get a GBA and a link cable. Connect to the game, and using the island and the gba, you can feed fruit to your islander and they pay you beaucoup cash!

I bought a GBA Link cable, how do you feed the fruit to the islander?

My best friend/roommate got me totally hooked on this game. There are three of us living in my house and we ALL play. Our town is called, Weed (I didn't name it...). Anyways, how do you build a snowman?

 

[Christiangamer]

homeschooledgeek;

first on the island, go around shaking the fruit out of the trees, then leave your gba on when you leave. Tell the cap'n to import your island on your gba....then when you get back, play your gba, using the cursur to pick up fruit and drop it in front of your animal, btw your animal is probably at first in the house, just point the cursor in front of the door and click, and the animal will come out. and dont click on the islander him/her self. it upsets them, then when they ate all the fruit, back on AC, leave the map, and put your gba in standby, then bring it back to normal, go back to the capn, have him to take you back to the island and collect your booty!

 

[Christiangamer]

Build a snowman by pushing one ball around, till its really big and close to another snow ball, then push the other ball around till about medium size and push it into the bigger ball. It's really easy to mess up tho.

I've built 3 snowmen and they've all been wrong. It's so hard to get the snowballs the right size! Especially if they're far apart from each other. My advice is locate 2 snowballs before you start rolling them into a snowman. The one you have to push to the other, make that the big one, of course. Then you can judge the size of the other better. But looks who's talking...Miss Snowman Expert

Thank you! I swear, I'd never have figured that out myself. I'll try that later!

I PAYED OFF MY ENITRE DEPT!!!! i have a statue of me in town now. I cheated though.. I bought 300 turnips doing the code and then went to a date where Nook gave like 600 belles for 1 turnip!! question is...what do i do now??

 

[William Nunn]

There are lots of things to do DMB. Have you completed your museum? Gotten a perfect rating on your town? Gotten 15 people to move into your town? Gotten an insanely high score on your HRA rating? Gotten every piece of furniture and special item? Every NES game? Lots of things to do!

 

[twosteppin]

yeah i guess so lol
