Jeff's ACCF Blog

I started up the game and realized I still had a knife and fork from yesterday’s harvest festival. Oops. I put it into storage, where I’ll be sure to forget all about it by next year. 😛

I went around watering my flowers (no new black roses today) and I saw Del. He was itchy, so I caught the flea that was biting him.

Walking along, I found something I did not want to see. Just as I had replaced the path where Iggly’s house was, another house plopped down right onto that same spot, messing up my path yet again. Ugh.

It belonged to my new neighbor, Sally the squirrel.

I’m actually surprised that a new neighbor moved in this soon. Iggly just moved out Wednesday. It usually seems to take close to a week for someone to move in. Unless the process is quicker now that WiiConnnect24 isn’t active? Or maybe it’s just a coincidence. I don’t know.

I’m not opening my gate tonight since I opened last night instead. But I stopped to check the items at the lost-and-found. I found a flame shirt in there, and I then put it on.

I started up the game and found Tortimer outside town hall. Today is the harvest festival, better known as Thanksgiving in the U.S.

The festival didn’t start until 3:00, so I watered my flowers and then turned the game off until later. At 6:00, I opened my gate. Tortimer was now handing out knives and forks.

Megan and I hunted for Franklin, collecting the harvest furniture he gives out. At one point, Megan appeared with a beak on. I was not expecting that.

Franklin had some good hiding places at times, but he also had a few of these:

There were a whole lot of beaks walking around Forest: Avery, Amelia, Egbert, Megan, and Franklin. At one point, Egbert seemed to just be standing there watching Franklin. I think he was hungry.

At one point, while Megan was away, she mysteriously fell into a pitfall! 😉

Megan completed her set of harvest furniture and then a little later, she left for the night. I kept my gate open until 9:00 and then closed up shop. I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving!

Before I get into what happened in ACCF today, I’m first going to describe what will happen if you transfer your ACCF save from your Wii to your Wii U. There’s a lot of confusion about what will work on Wii U and what won’t, so hopefully this will clear things up.

Here’s what will work:

• Your town, villagers, and items remain intact.
• Friend rosters remain intact and you can still play on Wi-Fi.
• You can still use USB keyboards for typing.
• You can still take pictures and save them to SD cards.
• You can still get Katie/Kaitlin, and presumably Blanca as well.
• Animals can still move to/from your friends’ towns.

Features that used WiiConnect24 will no longer function

• You will not receive any new DLC. But Nintendo stopped sending out new DLC in 2012 anyway.
• You can no longer send or receive letters to/from friends in other towns. (Exception: A visitor can send you a letter if they are in your town when they mail it).
• You will not see friends’ items at the auction house.
• You will not see friends’ rooms as the model room at the HRA.

Also note that once you move your data to Wii U, you can not move it back. So be sure before you transfer. If you have any other questions, let me know and I’ll update this entry if necessary.

Back to the usual bloggy stuff

Last night, before I transferred my data to my Wii U, I made a test town on my Wii U to test many of the things listed above. This town is Bananas!

Bananas had Rolf, which is always a good thing, but I hated the town layout. Especially without a bridge in the northwest corner of town, it made for a very long walk from Nook’s to town hall. And that’s a walk you have to make many times when working for Nook at the beginning. But it was kind of nice to see Nook’s Cranny again. I haven’t seen it in years.

After finishing my job for Nook and testing things out, I transferred my Wii town Forest to my Wii U. So Bananas no longer exists.

Meanwhile, In Forest

Today in Forest, I got a goodbye letter from Iggly, who moved out this morning.

I talked to Del, who told me that Saharah is in town. He says he has heard her speak perfect English before, when she was a comedian at the Marquee theater! He figured that her poor grammar was a ploy to increase sales. I don’t quite follow that logic, especially since she just exchanges carpets/wallpapers, not sells them.

I met up with Egbert, who gave me a new nickname: Bud.

At the site of Iggly’s old house, you can see how I had to re-route my path around his house. I hope no one else moves into that spot.

I eventually found Saharah and then asked all nine of my villagers for old wallpaper. Not a single one had any to give me.

Later, I saw Anabelle and Amelia chatting. Anabelle had a flea on her, so I got my net out and caught it. But when I talked to Amelia, she actually wanted that flea! In fact, she gave me a modern dresser for it!

That’s all for today, but the harvest festival is tomorrow! I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!
