Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Yesterday, I met up with Jack, the czar of Halloween.

As expected, he filled me in with the details of how Halloween works (even though I know the routine by now). He also gave me a monster mask.

I made a couple of changes to my town to get ready for Halloween. First, I put my gravestone design back on my face-cutout standee.

Then I used Emily’s Halloween 2.0 design for my new path. I’m not sure if I’ll keep this path for the entire month, but this is how it looks for now at least:

Both designs (Emily’s path and my gravestone) can be scanned from the Halloween QR Codes page if you’d like to use them in your town. And if any of you have some Halloween designs of your own that you’d like to share on that page, let me know!

Today (October 3rd) is Big Top’s birthday! I made sure to attend his party. Aurora was also there to help him celebrate.

For Big Top’s present, I gave him a customized rococo table. He seemed to enjoy it so much that he couldn’t contain his excitement.

Aurora and I agreed that this was a successful birthday party.

This was actually Big Top’s 4th year having a birthday in Forest. Time sure flies, doesn’t it?

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Gabe from Rain was my recent dream visitor. Thanks for visiting!

I got Daisy’s goodbye letter in the mail today. She attached her picture to the letter too.

I also got my usual monthly letter from the post office, telling me I earned 99,999 bells in interest on my bank account.

Molly asked me for a butterfly, so I grabbed an emperor butterfly from my dock box. After I gave it to her, she said it looked like me!

She gave me some red tile (flooring) for my trouble.

During this first week of October, Jack can show up to explain (or remind) you how the Halloween festivities work in New Leaf. I actually didn’t find him in Forest tonight, but that may be because I didn’t start playing until after midnight. Still, Aurora mentioned the spooky pumpkin fellow.

He can appear any day through October 7th, so I’m sure I’ll meet up with him soon. The side effect is that the game considers these days to be event days (even though Jack will only show up once), and you can’t work at the Roost again until the 8th.

The arrival of October brings other Halloween related changes, too. Able Sisters begin to sell the monster masks necessary for scaring our villagers on Halloween. I already have all six of them in storage though, so I’m good.

Also, the Nooklings begin selling spooky furniture and candy.

Just a reminder that there are some Halloween QR Codes here on JVGS that you can use to get your town ready for Halloween. Do you enjoy this time of year? I know I do. 🙂

Anyway, Luna told me that Nacho from Eesti was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday, Pashmina told me she was sick recently. She needed medicine, but nobody took her any. Oops. I have a bad habit of only talking to animals that are outdoors, so I don’t always notice an animal is sick unless another villager tells me about them. Sorry, goat girl.

I made sure to take a picture of my custom-design sign so you can see how it looks in the daylight.

I then made a dream visit to the futuristic, Star Fox themed town of Titania (dream address 4600-2642-5589). Patterns make it look like many of the town features are on tall towers that soar high above a futuristic city. It has a 3D look to it, and it’s very unique…and amazing, in my opinion.

Some parts of town are more down-to-Earth however…but still just as beautiful.

I wrote up a full Dream Suite Adventure of the town, and you can see it here: Titania. So check it out for many more pics, including some of the references to the Star Fox series. It’s a great dream to visit!

As for my dream town, Luna told me that Essie from Leaftown was my recent visitor.

And of course, today was Daisy’s last day in town. So I made sure to say goodbye to her. It is sad to see her go…but maybe our paths will cross again someday. Good luck, Daisy.

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow, so I’ll see you then. Enjoy your weekend!
