I started up the game this evening to see my newly upgraded house.
In the mail, I got a letter from Isabelle with a paw-print wall attached. I went inside my house to check everything out. Of course, it’s nice to be able to rotate the camera to look at your house from any angle.
I then went back outside to talk to some neighbors and take a walk. Aurora told me that Tex and Yuka spend a lot of time arguing, and then making up.
And Yuka asked me to catch a snail for her.
Then, I went to meet and greet my newest neighbor Fuchsia. She’s a deer.
But then she called me “girlfriend.” EXCUSE ME?
That’s not the way to make a good first impression.
After stopping by Rory’s house for a quick hello, I headed to the beach. I met an old friend there, Tortimer!
He told me that he lives on a tropical island now, where it’s summer every day. He said he told the person in charge (that would be Kapp’n) to start making stops at Forest starting tomorrow. So I’ll get to visit the island tomorrow! Sweet!
After catching a few fish, I then returned up the ramp. Gabi asked me to make a delivery to Yuka, who was standing about five feet away. You can see her in this picture.
So I walked over to Yuka and gave her the present. She thanked me and gave me a rugby shirt.
After that, I made a stop at the museum. After donating some new fish, I sat to watch a few of them swim by.
I then went over to Nookling Junction to buy today’s fortune cookie. I got fortune #5, which I redeemed for some hero’s pants. Next, I went to the Able Sisters where they had a Makar’s Mask! I bought it.
Back in town, Aurora came up to me and gave me a jade plaid tee, for absolutely free. You didn’t have to do that, Aurora. You were already my favorite.
Gabi was nearby, so I talked to her. She was itchy, so I decided to help her out by catching the flea that was on her.
Yuka came up to me and said she heard I was a freshman mayor.
And after talking to all of my villagers tonight (and paying Reese to take my garbage), my approval rating finally reached 100%!
Unfortunately, it will still take at least a day to be approved for my town development permit.
That’s all for today, but check back tomorrow as I visit the island. With any luck, I’ll have my development permit too.
So I just hung on to my cans for now and continued fishing. I saw Yuka also fishing…but not catching anything.
I caught a red snapper in the ocean, so that helped a lot. And with five minutes (and five bells) to spare before Nook closed up shop, I made my payment.
So I went in to see Nook and he confirmed the payment.
I’ll now owe him 98,000 bells, but my house will be expanded again by tomorrow morning.
That’s kind of crazy that my house only lasted this size for one day. But the generous money rocks make it easy to make money in New Leaf.
I had a letter from my Mom in my mailbox; she sent me a modern wood sofa. As I went inside to check out my house, Isabelle barged in. She said she had some wallpaper to give me as a housewarming gift. That was nice of her. Unfortunately, my pockets were full, so she said she’ll mail it to me instead. That situation makes so little sense when you imagine it happening in real life.
I still put my sofa and kart down to see how they looked. The kart has a parasail, like the karts from Mario Kart 7.
I then went over to Re-Tail to sell all the stuff in my pockets. No matter what time of day, this kid is always sleeping. And Reese yells at me when I try to talk to him.
I then headed over to Nook Homes on Main Street. He told me I owe him 39,800 bells now. Considering how generous the money rocks are in this game, that shouldn’t take me long. He also told me that I’m required to sign up for the Happy Room Academy inspections. He said they will come over to my house and inspect my house…and my hygiene?! That sounds really invasive. What are they going to do? Inspect my teeth and sniff my armpits?
I then bought my fortune cookie with two Play Coins. At first, he told me it wasn’t a winner…
But he was faking me out. He said as a consolation prize, I get…a steamroller. WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I just spent 4,000 bells on a steamroller! UGH!
I guess the moral of the story is to buy your fortune cookie before you buy anything else. But still, what are the odds?
I caught five bugs in total. While walking around, I saw a construction site. It looks like Fuchsia is going to be moving in tomorrow. A quick web search reveals that Fuchsia is a pink deer. Well, at least she’s not Jambette or Elise.
I went over to town hall and sat in my mayor’s chair. Even though I now have a house, I still can’t get my town development permit because my approval rating is not 100%. Isabelle told me to sell things at Re-Tail to improve my rating. Of course, I have been selling things at Re-Tail. Perhaps a certain monetary amount must be reached.
I then did a little fishing. I saw a balloon present floating by in the distance.
After I was done there, I headed to the museum to donate my catches and have some fossils identified. And then I noticed something. You can have Blathers identify multiple fossils at once! Likewise, you can donate multiple items at once too! Wow! This is seriously a huge improvement, since previous Animal Crossing games made you do these tasks one painstaking item at a time.
I was about done playing, but I made one last stop at home. I put my steamroller (well, one of them) in the middle of my house. So fancy, right? The HRA is going to love me now. Well, assuming I keep my ears clean.
