IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE UNWANTED VILLAGERS MOVE.

It took Crashy 3 days to convince Paula to leave, but it actually works.

Crashy had a 3-step approach to making Paula leave. Step 1 was to hit her on the head with the net almost constantly. Whenever Paula was around, she got hit on the head. After hitting her thrice, she would get very mad and often say “If you’re looking for a fight, you found one!”. Step 2 was to push her into pitfall seeds and trap her by burying holes around her. These both made her very upset. Step 3 was mailing her angry letters with rotten fruit, trash, etc.

Like I said, it only took 3 days for her to decide to leave Topotown. Yay! If you have any residents that you don’t want, this 3-step method will do the trick!

So, Crashy’s birthday (Mine too! What a coincidence!) was back in June, but it was just so adorable how everyone threw her a surprise party. We had the party at Midge’s house, and Kabuki and Winnie were there as well. Crashy talked to everyone else throughout the day, and they all had really nice things to say to her.

It’s so sweet that this is part of the game. The townspeople make you feel so loved and happy on your special day (and all give you presents!)

There’s a whole luck-gaining system in this game! Luck and Feng Shui are incredibly important in this game if you want to make a little more money or prevent some jellyfish stings.

The 5 types of luck are Wealth, Friendship, Romance, Item and Health. With good luck, these give you more bells, better friends, more seashells and make bees slower. With bad luck, this means less bells, a decrease in friendship, less likely to receive new items from the fortune cookies, and tripping over a lot.

Feng Shui tells you where to put items in your rooms. For example, you should put yellow items (such as the Lucky Gold Cat, Pyramid and Triple Banana, etc) on the left side of a room, green items (such as Coconut Palm, Green Dresser and Nookway) on the bottom of the room, and red items (such as Red Vase, Pagoda and Maple Bonsai) on the right side of a room. Feng Shui gives you a higher chance of attaining more bells or high-value ore from the money rocks in your town.

Dude! Today Crashy got really intrigued by the amount of things that Cyrus can modify in Re-Tail. Chevre (I don’t know how to pronounce this name..can someone help?) told me that Cyrus can make music boxes. She instantly ran to the beach, found a giant-clam shell, grabbed a music disk, then stormed into Re-Tail yelling for Cyrus to make me a music box for her mermaid room (More details on that once it’s completed). After the box was made, she took it home and listened to the music. We had KK Ska made into the music box, and it was so beautiful! The music was so pretty and the box itself is just gorgeous.

I looked up everything Cyrus can do and was completely floored. He can upholster furniture, change the colors of things, combine gems with furniture to make them shiny, make a whole GOLDEN furniture series, create miniature dinosaur models, and even change the piggy bank that you receive from the post office after saving 1,000,000 bells. Cyrus works magic in this game. Why are all of his skills kept a secret??

So.. I thought this was absolutely hilarious. As my boyfriend and I were in Rome (IRL), Crashy went to Redd’s Gallery in Topotown in which was a fake statue of Romulus and Remus (and the wolf). Quite the coincidence, don’t you think?

Crashy ended up buying a REAL painting (’cause she knows better than to just go around spending money on silly stuff). For anyone who doesn’t know, Redd comes to your town once a week and sells pieces of artwork. Usually 3 of the 4 pieces of art in his tent are fakes. He mails them to you the next day so you can’t be sure your piece of art was real until it’s too late. There are a variety of cheat sheets online, but I prefer this one. Don’t look at it if you thinks it’s cheating, though!

I didn’t get a better picture, but this one addresses my THREE least favorite things about animal crossing.

First: Bees. Are. Everyhwere. Crashy can’t hardly shake two trees without at least one of them (but probably both!) having bees in them! The bees attack you when they fall out of a tree. You can either catch them (an intense few moments of switching into your inventory, grabbing the net, then aiming and trying to push A as fast as possible before they can sting you), or run into a building. This time, Crashy was trying to run into Kabuki’s house... Thanks for the help, bud. -.-

Second: Paula. She’s the bear in the top left of the picture. And she’s freakin’ scary looking. Paula recently moved to the town, and Crashy is already planning how to make Paula leave. Unfortunately, she thinks Crashy is her best friend ever and always has questions and favors to ask.

Third: THIS HAIRCUT. Crashy went to Shampoodle in Pantalla (Bennet’s town) and this is the hairstyle she gets. Wow. Now she has to wait until a Shampoodle opens up in Topotown to fix this disaster... Until then, hats hats hats. Also, I have to change up my answers next time.
