Laura, you confuse me lol I just started to play and don't know those characters yet lol

How to get your own shop and what can you do with it?

I got some weird house, a furniture house but I need to be a members and have a password to enter it lol

Also I got item from lost and found items like shewing machine. What can I do with it? Can I see or can I use it for something? My house is too small to keep all those items in lol

I started to build snowman. And I have probs finding the third snowball

Most of that was for Sharon, sorry, didn't see your post You don't get a shop, you can only sell things in your house on flea market days. There's one next month in February.

If there's a green tent/house outside the town hall, it is Redd. You need to talk to your neighbours until someone tells you what his password is. You will also need 3,000 bells to join. The only things you really need to buy from him are paintings, which you give to the museum, but be careful, some paintings are fake, but you won't find out until you try to give it to the owl in the museum.

You can get some lost-and-found things from the dog by the town gate, and there is also a recycling bin in the town hall (it's the thing with the green lid, just use the game A button or tap it to open it) where you can get things free. You can keep the things you like, or if you don't have enough space for them you can sell them to Nook.

I also got pitfall seed from the guard dog. How can I plant it and what I need for that?

Pitfall seeds just make a hole you fall into when you walk over the star in the ground. They don't really do anything else. Sell them to Nook to get rid of them. To plant things you need to buy the shovel from Nook.

did you know you can find 11 Bells on trees when you shake them? I found few and it's in my inventory but I have no idea how I can add it to my real money from inventory lol

[magic]

becareful of shaking trees because bees can pop out of the tree and they run after you you have to find some where to hide like a house or shop etc. I got stung by the bees before the one of my friend asked me why my face was swollen lol . BTW my friend Jermiah went I liked him but I didn't know he was going usually the often tell me when I visit there house and its full of boxes.

Just curious to know if the person we are all playing looks the same. Mine has pink hair with big huge eyes.

[magic]

They are not all the same. In one of the links that Laura posted it's written how the face is picked. When you start the game you're in some taxi or something and driver asks you about the rain, about some other things and your answers makes your face. I mostly look sad lol and I hate it lol

Yeah, I got stinked by bees, twice lol and I can't buy medicine twice in a day I guess lol

So how can you get your money bags in your real money? I mean not in inventory?

[magic]

here is what I found googling about how to earn money


#7 Become a Farmer
On a Sunday, Joan the turnip seller comes to town. If you are willing to hand over 1,000 bells she'll provide you with a Red Turnip Seed. If you plant this seed on the Sunday, and water it every day until the following Saturday, you can dig it up and sell the big fat red turn for 16,000 bells! Be warned though: if you forget to water the red turnip it will rot.


#3 Banging Rocks
Each day, one random rock will contain several bags of bells and coins that you can collect. To get the money (bells), move next to the rock. Start by digging two holes with your shovel: one directly behind where your character is standing, and one below, as per the diagram:

my shop will be closed tomorrow

how can I send letter? I mean, I kow how to send it but where can I write it?

[magic]

the shop is closed because you bought enough to upgrade the shop it becomes different names as you go on mine at the moment is called NookWay. You buy note paper in the shop and then you can write letters and then post them in the Town Hall

I found these tips:

Become Friends with Blathers
If you talk to Blathers when he is depressed looking, he will say that he detests bugs. Eventually, if you keep talking to him every day for a few days, he will explain how he is trying to overcome his fear, then how he finally gives up.

Grow Golden Roses
Water dying black roses with the golden watering can, and they will return as golden roses the next day.

Jacob's Ladder
To obtain the flower name Jacob's Ladder you must first have a 'perfect town.' Once Pelly or Phyllis have told you that your town is perfect then Jacob's Ladders wll start appearing in random locations, one Jacob's Ladder dail. If you town stops being perfect then you will no longer recieve anymore Jacob's Ladders.

Golden Tools
Golden Fishing Rod - Catch every type of fish one time.
Golden Bug Net - Catch every type of bug one time.
Golden Slingshot - Shoot 15 items out of the sky, then you get it if you shoot it down.
Golden Shovel - Bury a regular shovel in the ground. Dig it up one full day later. It will be golden.
Golden Watering Can - Keep the environment perfect for 16 days in a row. Pelly or Phyllis will then give you the golden can.
Golden Axe - Trade a scallop seashell to Pascal for the golden axe.

Get the Scallop
You need the scallop to get the golden axe from Pascal. Pascal walks around by the beach once a week at a random time. First, buy a red turnip from Joan. Then, give it to Wendel when he comes to town. Wendel should give you the Turban or Country Guitar. If you get the Turban, give it to Sahara when she comes to town. Sahara will give you either the Massage Chair or Red Vase. If you get the Massage Chair, give it to Tortimer for the next holiday and he will give you the scallop. Then just wait for Pascal and give him the scallop. If you got the Country Guitar, give it to K.K. Slider to get K.K.'s Pic. If you got the Red Vase, trade it to Crazy Redd for the Safe. Give the safe to Tom Nook for the Tom Nook Pic.

How to Change Your Inventory Background

#7 Become a Farmer
On a Sunday, Joan the turnip seller comes to town. If you are willing to hand over 1,000 bells she'll provide you with a Red Turnip Seed. If you plant this seed on the Sunday, and water it every day until the following Saturday, you can dig it up and sell the big fat red turn for 16,000 bells! Be warned though: if you forget to water the red turnip it will rot.

This has not worked in any game I've played so far. The next day the turnip dies and will not grow anymore, then the day after it's gone, no matter how much I water it. The best thing to do with the red turnip is to plant it when Wendell comes to town and give it to him.

Also, some things you come across on the internet isn't true. One thing that hasn't worked is buying insurance from Lyle the second time he comes, it's supposed to give you money for fake items. I bought a fake painting from Redd after I bought the second insurance, and I didn't get any bells from Lyle. So that one is fake, or at least doesn't work in the European version.

This is also fake - you can't see Resetti's home in this version, I've seen people post this at forums and they were told the only other place you could find Resetti was in the Roost cafe in the museum on a random day.

You usually make friends in this game to get people's pics, and on the lists I have seen, no one has mentioned how to be friends with Celeste. Saying she's cute just annoys her, so I think this one is fake too.

Here's some pics of one of my towns:


New year's celebrations, the clock counts down on 31st, then says Happy New Year at midnight, and there's fireworks in the top screen.


I made a weird snowman last night I have Nookingtons now (thanks to my brother's DS, though it only works from one to the other and not both ways), so I changed my hairstyle.

I made a Snowman last night but it wasnt a 'perfect' Snowman so I will try this again. How do you get pics form your game I want to share pics from mine also especially of my house also anyone who comes to visit my house only give me 4 stars and says that there is something missing. I dont know what that is as I think I have most things like toilet, bed, sink, couch, table, lamp, tv

[HanabiChick]

I take my pics at night, so that there's no glare on the DS screens (make sure you're not near any lights or lamps). I keep the lid up at an angle so it shades the bottom screen - like this -> L

Turn the flash off on your camera, and use the indoor/party setting (don't know what it is on other cameras). I have a macro button on mine (which most digital cameras have I think) for close-up pics, so I use the third setting on it (I have normal zoom, close, and really close). I go as close to the screen as I can, making sure there's not too many pixel squares showing up. It takes some practice to get the camera position right so you can get a clear pic. Keep taking pics and checking them to see what they look like and pick the best ones to upload.
