In which we talk about the things we couldn’t have

As most people know, my town is pretty much done. It’s mostly a waiting game at this point for DLC not out yet with the exception of the Harvest Day items later this month. Even the last Public Work I want I will be unable to unlock for several months and I won’t have the biggest tree until late October next year so it’s just a lot of waiting around. The only thing I can really do now is hope for a Balloon to come back where I want a present and that’s just luck…

But regardless, there’s still things I wish I could’ve done–from my original set-up I had to make smaller to more complicated things like a vertical row of trees. I always like the idea of running through a Path of trees, but sadly, there was no place I could fit such a thing in town that it wouldn’t look odd–the closest would’ve been down from my house–but just like I couldn’t fit the full set-up, I wouldn’t have enough room for trees on each side due to the restrictions.

There are no other long areas besides that–they all have houses that interrupt or come to an end or are surrounded by something (like the Plaza) that just won’t make it happen. And a line on one side kind of ruins the effect. So it’s just something I’ll never be able to do unless the maps get like…magically bigger or something. That’d be neat if they did a Wii U version–transfer your town and the town would be expanded based off it and you could then move things around and stuff and it’d be nice.

But yes, back to some other things…
Some people may recall I really wanted the Beach on the East side. While I still would’ve liked that, I think I’m too used to it on the West now and while there’s a lot I preferred to the East, the Museum looks kind of odd to the West IMO.

I would’ve really liked a Down-Facing Waterfall. I find it’s hard to fish off the sideways ones. But yeah… map issues.

I really wanted a Woodsy area near the Camp Site–but I don’t think there would’ve been anywhere I could do that for it on this map.

I originally wanted the Cafe on the cliffside with the water pump and stuff to the right instead of the left–I think it may look better now though… but I still would’ve liked the Streetlight closer to it over across from it.

As people may remember, I had to get rid of my Instrument Center as the original bridge now counted to the 30 count. Ignoring that I’m still sad about it, there’s actually A LOT of Public Works I’ve wanted so here’s the full list before I did the narrowing down to 30 + original bridge (and then 29 + original bridge :/) of the ones that didn’t make the cut:
Instrument Center
Fairytale Bench
Tire Toy
Bus Stop
Zen Clock
Garbage Can
Round Streetlight
Streetlight
Fairy-tale Streetlight
Zen Streetlight
Balloon Arch
Illuminated Arch
Flower Bed
Illuminated Tree
Sandbox
Scarecrow
Tulip Topiary
Square Topiary
Wisteria Trellis
Stonehenge
Tower
Wind Turbine

If I was able to make a nice Camp Area:
Log Bench
Fire Pit

If I could’ve put stuff on the beach:
Hammock
Torch

So yes, it was very hard to narrow things down 😛

I’d have loved to have more decorative patterns too for various things… but nope, hit the limit on that too

Day 147 and 148

Unfortunately, allergies have been getting worse again so less playtime. Despite that though, I did still make sure to pop in and do some stuff. I also went to a Halloween themed town for those who may have been a bit sad that I didn’t do Halloween (sorry, just not fond of being chased around nor do I care for the set itself).

I have to say though, the Fall colors are quite nice.

But yes… Dream Address: 4200-2016-0125







As for the DLC for November, it seems DLC from now until February will just be stuff that’s already handed out so nothing new 🙁 And since the monthly item for this month was not Zodiac, I expect Zodiac to start January instead.

DLC Download~

With Halloween now over, I did pop onto Animal Crossing to do one particular thing…

Sadly, still need to wait for snow for the last thing I need to catch! So I didn’t do much else. Looking out for Nintendo’s next SpotPass item announcement though considering they did say October AND November in the Nintendo Direct and only showed October items all month, I am very curious about the November stuff…

Day 145 and 146

I didn’t do too much yesterday, but mostly as not much happened either. Today is Halloween, but as mentioned previously, I’m not playing Halloween as I hate the Halloween event and this one would just bother me the most. I don’t do well being chased or tricked so it’s just not very fun to me. Special thanks to Imaginos for letting me catalog the entire Spooky, Creepy, and Trick sets.

I guess with the Halloween hype, none of my villagers felt like asking any favors so it was a quiet day as it is. Thus, I went to update my Dream Suite–it’s still a bit early, but there was no way I was playing after 6PM today.

Thank you to everyone who’s visited though!

Day 144

I actually streamed for the first time in a while today due to the fact that the European/PAL Region Nintendo Village town had updated it’s dream for Halloween. I figured it’d be fun to check out. Maple wanted to see my house, Marina wanted me to deliver something to Diana, Peanut wanted her time-capsule dug up and Merengue wanted an apple which I managed to get done… Diana wanted a Koi, but I’m just too out of it to really do much in the fishing department.

Of course, if that wasn’t enough, I also ran into Phineas!:

Yay 😀 Gulliver was here as well–I’ll admit, I actually had some trouble realizing he was talking about Portugal…

Once I finished checking on the neighbors I could find, it was off to Dream Suite!:

There were costumes scattered all around outside for visitors to wear which was nice too <3 Was sad there was no Halloween faceboard though. And kind of surprised that I could not find any room that matched the one in Isabelle’s picture

After that, it was time to look through some StreetPass houses 😀

I didn’t get to finish though due to feeling pretty terrible. Still 2 maps to go X__x Thus, that was about it. Also, for those who asked… I didn’t get any SpotPass house this week 🙁 I wonder if there won’t be anymore… I hope that isn’t the case though.

As a final thing today though, I got my first Town Tour request for TBT Bells in My shop on The Bell Tree to visit a town so…
