[sm4987]

My 10 year old has been playing all day with sm4987's daughter. They are having a blast.

Yeah they are! I think I'm jealous!

Realgrumpy, I'd love to have your friend code. Maybe when the girls take a break............................one of these days.....................

I am not sure that I could pry the Wii remote out of her hands right now.

Hey everyone1 We just finished saving up for our bridge in our town. I went and donated the 200,00 bells(all at once), but Pelly didn't say anything special! has anyone done this? Did I just waste our bells?

No, mine didn't say anything special either. I was worried I had done something wrong! But, tomorrow, you should get a note on the bulletin board that construction has started, or when/if you try to donate to the town fund again tomorrow you will get told that the bridge is being built.

Congratulations on your new bridge!!

Congratulations on your new bridge!!

Thanks! I feel better now! I can't wait to see where our options are to put it!

I bought the SD memory card thinking that I can save the game on it and maybe start all over again... meaning living in a different town, but at the same time can go back to the old town with the SD card. Unfortunately I wasn't able to. Wii wouldn't let me save AC on the card. Has anyone tried this before? I was hoping I could live in two different town.

This is a "good morning" bump!

You can't save the game to an SD card, unfortunately. It can only be saved on the Wii, which is why so many families with multiple players were so angry that they now have to share a town. This is the first version of AC where you can't make multiple towns. It's very irritating!

 

[Realgrumpy]

What is the purpose of the stars? Sorry if this has been asked before, newbie here. Actually my daughter wants to know, she has monopolized the game all weekend.

Oh, I'm glad I found this thread! I do not have the game but was at Best Buy the other day with my sister and saw it. It looks like an interesting game and I'm thinking about getting it (or asking for it as a birthday present!). Could you guys please give me your input on AC? I will be 24 and my sisters are almost 19 and almost 22...I know it has a rating of E but is it something we'd enjoy or is it more for kids? Also can you play without connecting to friends (sorry if that's a stupid question!) Any thoughts would be appreciated!

 

[Realgrumpy]

Another question, do characters "die"? When we visit hopper he keeps talking about going into the light, and he says he is sick, what's up with that?

 

[piglet too]

Realgrumpy ~ You can give Hopper medicine from Nook's store, this will make him feel better. Also, the stars are just for fun.
ETA ~ You may have to do the medicine for multiple days.

wdwgirl03 ~ I think most of us on this thread are adults and we all love this game. I'd say go for it!

Thanks for the info. I wonder when or if they will make a second version. I hope they will make one where you can have multiple towns. I think it will make things more interesting that way. Maybe towns from other world.. this way.. it may be summer there and winter here.. or day here and night there.. and maybe we can check out what type of fruits they care that we don't and maybe they can teach us a few words from around the world..

I'm 21 and I really enjoy this game. It's low key and fun. And you can definitely play without connecting to friends. I haven't opened my gates yet, but that has more to do with my WiFi problem, than not wanting to. But I'd say go for it if you think it looks interesting. All the posters on this thread are adults enjoying the game.

Hey! I know you! I think you would enjoy it. I think out of everyone in our house, I like it the most, but everyone plays. It is very lowkey, mostly about collecting stuff and catching things. I've had alot of fun planting trees and selling all the fruit. It's kind of relaxing after a day in the "real world."

Ok, we saved the bird. lol.

Good evening folks...

Here is my update: Unfortunately I found out the impact of playing with the dates.. moving it back and forth.. and didn't realize the consequences I had to face... (loosing the whole town with my favorite animals)

I am sad to say... that I have lost half of beloved animals (they moved out of my town with new incoming animals). The town looks horrible that I couldn't bare to see it gloomy..dark..just plain sad looking. But most of all.. it affected it the most. I felt the loss of my departed favorite animals.. I brought my town down.. I felt so ashame and disgusted of myself.. I'm teary right now cause like I said earlier on one of my post that I felt that the animals were like my family.. I grew attached to them. They made me laugh and made my day. I know it's just a game.. but to me, I felt a little more that that.. I saw them everyday and talked to them everday. Whether they are having a bad day or a good day.. whether if they were annoying sometimes or just keeping me company.. I loved them all. The town just wasn't the same anymore.

With my emotions.. heart broken.. I felt that I needed to start all over again. I didn't see my "family"... It's just not the same anymore. My drive to play this game is not all there.. at least not for now. I hope with these new friendly animals.. I will embrace them the way I have embraced the others. Even my daughter was sad.. she wants Spork. I wanted to see them all again.. Spork, Buck, Darwin, Mathilda (who I cared for when she was sick), Peaches, Tabby, Truffles, and Static.

Anyway... A new beginning for me. I have learned my lesson not to mess with time.. it's a big consequences to pay (at least for me). I know you guys think I'm nutz Oh well... Thanks for listening..

So sorry about your town Fantasia, I know the first few neighbors I had move were hard. Then it does get easier, these animals are fickle folks and like to move around. Time travel does not always do this. The key is to do it in steps, I rarely move forward in time, just back. I pick a date and then go to it and jump ahead a few days at a time, never over 5 days for me. There are still concequences but it does help with not losing neighbors as much. Also I make it a point to visit everyone when I jump a few days just to check in.

I hope things get better, dont give up on the game, you can bond with new animals. Hugs!
