hi, I never post things, also sorry in advance if some of this is stuff someone has already said, or stuff that was in older games, Iām going in mostly blind, and new leaf was my first game
Here are some discoveries for the new game that Iāve found while playing, as of march 21st! I figure this may be helpful to some people, since there probably arenāt many full guides out yet.Ā
if you plant a fruit or flower or sapling in the wrong spot, you can dig it back up while it is still in the sapling/first phase without destroying it! When you do, it will turn intoĀ āNursery Xā and can be replanted. This does not require you to eat a fruit
Money trees can be planted, but only in a very specific way. you must find the glowing spot in the ground, dig it up, and then re-plant the money bag in the glowing spot again. The location is probably inconvenient, but thatās ok! the money tree follows the same rules for other saplings above, so it can be moved immediately after planting and turning into a sapling
Time travel does work, and appears to have no penalties (as long as youāre only going one or two days at a time) however, to do so, you have to close the game entirely, and change the switchās clock settings, and disconnect from the internet. This could have adverse effects on other games, so beware. I have not tested TTing when not on airplane mode, so try at your own risk.
you can do minor sequence breaking if you have a friend who has access to all the tool crafting! This is more helpful to people who started the game late, or who do not want to time travel. as long as you know someone who can craft tools (specifically the pole and ladder, but any tool will work) your friend can craft a spare, and give it to the newer player. anyone can use the tool, as long as they have it in their inventory. do keep in mind though, that most tools break, so maybe only use this for the exploration tools, since those do not have durability.Ā
this one isnāt confirmed, but supposedly it takes a long time to get terraforming tools, so try to work without them. Iām onĀ āday 4ā³ (Iāve been time traveling back and forth, so my timeline is a bit of a mess) and I donāt think Iām anywhere close to it
the mini islands do completely reset each time, so itās completely safe to destroy them
the DIY recipes in the bottle can be anything, including recipes you are given in the tutorial. you can sell them though, so donāt worry.
placing a custom design on the walls of your house overrides the windows, and gets rid of them. Iām not sure how to fix this, but itās something to be aware of
transparency DOES NOT WORK on clothing items. when creating using pro codes, the option is not there, and whenĀ āwearingā a normal custom design with transparency, the transparent sections turn white. if you plan on making clothing with cutouts or skin colored sections, you will still have to color match
speaking of pro designs, some clothing items have seamlines, some donāt. keep that in mind when creating clothes with cutouts/skin sections
Thatās all Iāve found for now, but please feel free to add on anything else you find, especially if itās aĀ āsmallā thing. also, please no shaming anyone for using or not using any of these tips. not everyone is able to play the same way, or for the same amount of time, and this game is all about having fun, and going at the pace you want.Ā
