I have cherries to swap (and apples, if they're any good)! PM me if you want my friend code... Oh my fucking god Steven, I want to visit you! I don't understand though, how does that work, what is this friend code of which you speak? <showing off>I have apples, cherries, oranges, coconuts and today my son planted our first pear so fingers crossed.<end showing off>

If you go to your town's main gate and go to the one on the right (I think), he gives you a friend code which you can give out to people so that they can come and visit you...or have I got it all wrong?

What the fuck just happened to me? There was a large scuttling spider like thing that I swung my net at, then boof, the whole ds went black and when it came back to life I was back outside my home, no sign of the beast.

It was a scorpion! I will send you my code when my house isn't so trampy Steven.

This game sounds fucking bizarre.
I HAVE TO OWN IT.

Okay, this game just gets better and better. I accidentally switched it off the other day when I was trying to turn the volume up, and when I went back a mole appeared outside my house and basically called me a cheating bastard. It was hilarious.

I need to give this game another chance, as this thread makes it sound far more amazing that the annoying two weeks worth that I tolerated of it.
If I can't get a job this summer I'll immerse myself in it. Perhaps 9 to 5, three days a week.

I am back in the UK and can now open up my gate for people. Anyone who wants to come to my town or let me visit theirs send me their friend code! I have apples, pears, cherries, peaches, oranges and cocunuts!

I still can't grow coconuts. I think I'm cursed.

I still can't grow coconuts. I think I'm cursed. Just cut down any tree nearish to the beach and bury a coconut in the hole. You are guaranteed one then. I keep meaning to send you my code but I haven't played in a while and I'm not sure where my DS is.

I still can't grow coconuts. I think I'm cursed. Are you burying it on the line between the sand and the grass? If I remember correctly they only grow on the first "full" squares up from the beach.

I think I keep burying them either too high or too low. It's so bloody fiddly. But every time I try and fail I have to wait about a month for another coconut to turn up.
In other news, I've sorted out my WiFi access now so if anyone wants the code to visit my village, PM me or summat.

Have picked this up again after a 3 month haitus. It's actually fun again (was getting to be a bit of a drag before ...) as all the insects and fish are new, and I wet myself with excitement when I caught a shark. The game is mirroring real life, though, as it's absolutely tipping it down every day.

Right I'm new to this.
I've started making friends with people, picked loads of cherries and shells and sold them to Nook, shook some trees and found bells, got a fishing rod, got a spaceman for my house(!) and some flooring, delivered a few things to people, sent some letters, paid of a small bit of my mortgage.
What happens next?
I still can't fish, when the line gets to its maximum from the current it starts to jiggle but there's never a fish on there???
How do I get a net to catch insects? Do I have to wait til the next day and see whether Nook has one for sale?
What does the museum actually want? Cos they didn't want my lifesize spaceman model...

You have to pay off your whole mortgage, then you get a bigger how. You need to wait a couple of days for the cherries to re-appear. You should get a spade and plant some more cherry trees, because that means you'll have more cherries to sell.
You see fish in water, it's easier to catch them in the sea, not the river. When you see a fish in the water, cast you line in front of it. If it's in its line of vision it will swim up to it. It will swim right up to your line a couple of times, and as soon as your line 'plops', you need to press a button, probably A, and it will hopefully catch it.
The net is from the shop, later.
The museum wants fossils which you dig up. You can also give it fish, insects and paintings. It's best to sell your fish and insects though.#
Each town has a 'town fruit' which is worth 100 bells a piece. Yours is obviously cherries, but mine is apples. Tom Nook pays 300 bells for non-town fruits. You get different fruit from visiting other towns. It's best to plant the non-town fruit though, as you can then re-plant and re-plant and end up with loads of trees.

I'd advise giving the first example of each fish/bug that you catch to the museum and then selling the rest. That way you can fill up your museum and wander around the fish/insect exhibits. The best one is the dung beetle which actually rolls around a big ball of poo in the exhibit but I think you can only catch them in winter when it snows.

For me, paying off the mortage is more important that donating to that greedy owl. What a rubbish museum!
Also, what's the point of buying coffee in that café?

Ah, but what's the point of buying coffee in ANY café, eh?
My attempts at growing coconut trees continue to fail. Sadface.

What do I use the axe for? To cut down trees? Surely the neighbours would complain about the environment to The town hall then.
And how do I find out who won La-Di-Day?
I refused to donate my mammoth torso to the museum (2,500 bells instead - woohoo!) but I really want to see the complete T-Rex so the narcoleptic owl's having all of those bits. Damn them for rousing my long-term dino obsessions!

Post by Steven on Sept 9, 2007 15:00:26 GMT
Yeah, the axe is for cutting down trees. I only do that when they're annoying me, getting in the way of stuff.
What happens on La-Di-Day again? Remind me.

Post by jode* on Sept 9, 2007 16:22:54 GMT
I just got 10,000 bells for a fish!
La-Di-Day is when they choose the town song for the next month.

Have you checked the noticeboard by the town hall? It might be up on there.

I'm getting a bit worried about getting addicted.
Not only did I shout 'Yes!' and punch the air like Tim Henman the other day in a room full of people when I caught a sunfish, but last night I actually felt a bit gutted when I wasgoing out to the cinema and would miss Nook's half-price sale at 7pm.

Another question - how do I actually grow things? I plant a fruit, it's a little sapling, I water it. The next day it's wilting. So I water it. The next day it's gone (presumably dead). How much do I have to water it? And watering it on the exact spot is pretty hard I might add.
