On Sunday, I started up the game to get some footage for a video I was working on. In particular, I needed footage of the flea market, my natural paths (under my green brick tiles, which I removed in some areas), and red turnips. I quickly spotted Joan, so I bought a red turnip seed for 1,000 bells. I then buried it, watered it, and later dug it up.
Because I dug it up on the same day, it only sold for 2 bells. 😆 You’re supposed to water it every day, and then sell it after a week for the full 16,000 bells.
As for the flea market, I bought an orange chair from Clyde (566 bells), a red tie-dye from Midge (164 bells), and a mochi pestle from Ruby (552 bells). I was just being a good neighbor. 😛
I also went home so that a villager could buy from me. Antonio showed up, and you can see what he bought in my video at the end of this entry.
I played again today, and Nana wanted me to catch her a giant snakehead! Those things are so rare, I knew I’d never find it in time. So I had to decline her request. Sorry, Nana.
When I ran into Clyde, he told me that he’s been thinking of moving out of town. He’s only lived here about six weeks! But still, I didn’t stop him from moving. He’s not leaving immediately, but probably by next week.
I was a bit confused when I went into a house in the northeast part of town. Monty was there, and he said it was nice to meet me. For one thing, he was already unpacked!
So that means he must’ve moved in on Sunday, and I didn’t notice his house. I do already have three other villagers in that little neighborhood, so it is easy to overlook somebody (especially when I didn’t even know he was there).
But also, Monty is another returning villager. He lived in Forest from 2019-2020; I didn’t care for him then, and I doubt I’ll care for him now. 😆
I found Mint enjoying some coffee at the Roost. She was commenting on his shelves full of gyroids.
In the city, Maple was enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city. Phineas was also there, as were Egbert, Bella, Elvis, and Pecan. (Phineas gave me an indigo balloon.)
By the way, my bank account balance just topped 63 million bells. So I’m well on my way to meeting my summer goal, needing just about a million bells during August. I should have no trouble doing that, even though I didn’t do any bug hunting today.
A quick note about items: I found a garbage can in a balloon present on Sunday, and I found a stove in the recycle bin today.
As for the video I mentioned earlier, it’s a look at co-exclusive features in the Animal Crossing series. As you might expect, City Folk has a lot of features in common with Wild World, that don’t appear in the other games. But you might not realize it also has a lot in common with New Leaf too! Check it out and see for yourself!
