When I started up the game today, Lyle met me outside my house. He told me that since my house is fully paid off, I’m now a VIP member of the Happy Homes Academy. I’m now eligible for home exterior evaluations.
So exciting… He said there will now be theme challenges, and he gave me a choice of themes. I chose sci-fi, since I have the astro exterior to my house. But I don’t really care about this stuff.
Anyway, I headed over to Re-Tail. I never picked up my golden furniture from yesterday, so I made sure to do that today. It was another golden clock! Ugh! This is at least my fifth one, but I’ve lost count at this point.
When I went back outside, Rolf told me he was going to move out of town. Sorry tiger, but you’re not allowed to move.
I then went to meet my newest neighbor, Skye the wolf. I wonder if she thinks I’m a wolf too. Welcome to Forest, Skye.
She moved in from Chris’s town Ruby. Chris visited me on Friday night. I have now updated my town page to reflect Skye’s presence and my current map.
When I spoke to Big Top, he invited himself over to my house. These visits are extremely boring to me. I’ll talk to the visitor a few times and maybe change rooms, but basically you’re just waiting for them to leave.
Once he eventually left, I went up to Main Street for my daily shopping run. I started off at the museum. After I got my fossils identified by Blathers, I decided to “rent” a third exhibit room upstairs. For now, I’m going to use it as a trophy room. I have my bug and fish trophies in there, as well as some Happy Home Academy awards as well. I may put villager pics in there eventually, but for now I’m keeping Tabby’s pics in my house to make it scary for Halloween.
In the Dream Suite, Luna informed me that Alli from Paradise was the most recent dream visitor to Forest. Hello if you’re reading this, Alli!
Next, I went into Nook Homes. Tom Nook was saying nothing about any reward for fully paying off all my debt. This is quite disappointing that there’s no reward in New Leaf, especially when you have to pay more than ever to fully expand your house. He was only telling me that I could still change the exterior of my house. Bah. Nook is a crook!
Over in the Able Sisters, I purchased this mummy mask. I believe I have all six of the Halloween masks now.
When I was done on Main Street, I did a little diving. I caught my second scallop, and Pascal popped up and asked me for it. I gave it to him.
He thought it was “totally righteous.”
In return, he gave me a ship compass. This is my first item from the pirate ship theme in New Leaf, since my first scallop went into the museum and not to Pascal. But this is what the ship compass looks like:
