Daily Playthrough
now browsing by category
To give a little update and reminder :)
For those of you who are hoping for New Horizons content, I WILL be doing game play logs, videos, and streams like I did for New Leaf! But the game play logs/journals will be on my main site with main summary details over here instead of on this site (this is for New Leaf!).
I recently wrote another entry a few days ago about the main things I’m wondering with New Horizons less than 100 days away now.
Meanwhile, I’ve been doing my best to get older videos uploaded from my streams that I managed to save before my old hard drive died. The last of which should be up by the end of the week.
I’m hoping to do a better job with uploading New Horizons stuff sooner. At the very least, the daily logs here will still be the main information for what I went through with my town! And I can’t wait to write, do videos, and do streams for New Horizons too.
Changes & Things
So, most of my hopes with catching up in Animal Crossing have been on hold with Pokemon Moon’s release. While I have had a lot of mixed feelings on the games, I still have a lot I want to finish with Moon before I get back to Animal Crossing. I don’t know entirely when I will finish (maybe sometime in December), but until then, here’s some things that have happened recently.
One of the main things is thanks to so many people letting me catalog stuff, my catalog is once again complete! I don’t know if I will add all the new items into my checklist on here just yet (especially as so many of the new items don’t actually show up or are incredibly glitchy such as the Sanrio Clocks and TVs–I have some in my catalog and not others despite using the items and clearly having picked them up), but I’m happy to be finished with it.
While I haven’t succeeded too much in the moving my date along to catch it back up, I’m currently in October and have been doing various changes along the way to some of the rooms in the house. One of the nice things though is I did get to briefly see my Hydrangeas in bloom:
They’re the Bush that is planted the most around town, but don’t stick around very long.
Going to some of the changes around town, well…
I love the new models in this update. I just wish I could place patterns in rooms like I could in HHD so I could actually place Kapp’n on the River as it just doesn’t look as nice as it could.
I then had the very hard decision between Hot Chocolate or Tea:
I did go with the Tea Cup, but I love Hot Chocolate too.
And I got two of my favorite items from HHD:
The Fancy Tea Set and Cheese 😀 I love that Cheese plate. That is one nice selection of cheese.
The Decoy Duck also made a return:
And I got the Desert Island Good-luck Charm!
The room that got the biggest update was the trophy room:
I really wish I didn’t have to remove as many items as I did though. The item limit breaks my heart :/
Also, while I’m using the Gold Tea Set for now, I am debating on maybe using the Pink one:
I’d use both, but the item limit is also painful in the Kitchen so bleh.
Finally, thanks to Ruu, I was able to visit Filly!
I ordered a few things I wanted to actually have for rooms versus just catalogging :3 Everything IS translated, so hopefully we may see her in the future… but I wouldn’t be surprised if the items are removed again like what they did in Happy Home Designer….
And sadly, I hate to end on this kind of note, but just incase anything else like this happens…. Ignoring that I don’t go on Club Tortimer much anymore (or the island in general–after all that badge grinding, I’ve long been done with it), I will usually be wearing either my usual pink dress + a Detective Hat OR the Crown I usually wear (for when I forget to switch it or am just planning to check store items and not play anything). If not my pink dress, the only other thing I tend to wear is a Pink Wet Suit.
Similarly, this is my ID and I have all gold badges.
If the IDs don’t match up, that’s a quick clear indicator.
Finally, incase of Dream Suite issues. My town can not be found searching for Pink Sea. If any towns come up by searching Pink Sea, it isn’t mine. This is because when I started playing ACNL, my touchscreen was actually broken and I had to use a weird ‘a’ to name it Pink Sea. Thus, searching normally will not get it to show up (Your best bet is searching for Seamstry if you really want a quick search versus entering the Dream address). I do recommend using my dream address though as the last time things like this happened, Seamstry’s name was copied for a Villager too :/
Town Anniversary Event
As most of you may know, I’ve been trying to get my date back to normal. It’s been going pretty poorly and I only finally hit June today… of 2015 still. I’ve gotten about 2 months along so far and hopefully I can start picking the pace up a bit. Regardless, I ended up hitting the anniversary of my town (even if it is technically a year behind) and a new Special Event triggered. It’s really cute, though, I had gotten my hopes up for all 10 of my Villagers showing up due to Isabelle’s dialogue when it wasn’t even close to that… Not to mention a random special villager seems to show up as well (besides Isabelle :P) which also caught me off-guard. Despite those issues, it’s genuinely a very cute event:
And the item you get is absolutely adorable:
I’m looking forward to see if there are any differences when I end up triggering it again as I make my way to November 2016.
Redecorating and having fun!~
Right now, besides getting items for my catalog, I’ve been doing various adjustments to all many of the rooms on each of my villagers. Most are receiving very small changes:
But a few have gotten some bigger changes thanks to the lovely Sanrio items someone was nice enough to give me!:
The Sanrio items are ADORABLE and I really love a lot of them. The outfits are so cute too:
I definitely want to find more places to put them, but I’m especially happy with Emi’s sky room. I feel like a lot of people missed the theme with that one a bit and I feel it’s a lot more apparent now. I think I’m going to add the Kiki and Lala Clock to the room too. I also think the My Melody Dress is perfect for Seamstry and looks way better than the Maid Dress did.
I’ve also updated another museum room:
Besides that, I have been working on more of the minigame playing. I’ve managed to get two items from Desert Island Escape so far and even several items from Puzzle League after finally finishing it:
On a different note, there’s just so many new small charming things in the game, like bird feeding:
It’s so so so cute. Plus the dancing at the Bonfire:
And Harvey’s set-up in the rain:
It’s just so much fun to discover new little things again.
I have been trying to scan in more Amiibo occasionally too. The monster hunter stuff seems especially popular:
And a friend scanned in Timmy & Tommy:
