Before I get into what happened today, here’s a very quick wrap-up of what happened yesterday:
- I received my scenic painting in the mail from Jolly Redd, but Blathers informed me that it was a fake.
- Nook’s Cranny had a spooky arch for 18k, and I bought it.
- K.K. Slider performed K.K. March for me.
Okay, on to today. The Happy Home Academy sent me my latest house score: 99,271 points. That’s very close to 100k, so I should be able to easily hit the next milestone next week…especially after I put some spooky furniture in my basement, which I’m working on.
The big news of the day is that my pumpkins are now ripe and ready to be picked! I was very happy to see that each plant yielded three pumpkins, not just one! I was also fortunate that most of my pumpkins were orange ones (the kind needed for crafting).
So I ended up with 21 orange pumpkins, six white ones, and three yellow ones. I still want to grow some green pumpkins too, so I bought two more pumpkin starts and planted them in front of my house.
There was a camper at the campsite, but unlike the last camper, I had no interest in adopting this one. It was Rooney the kangaroo.
Nook’s Cranny had a spooky table for sale today, for 22,000 bells. It’s…well, it’s kinda ugly. But I still bought it, for use in my basement. Unlike most of the spooky items I’ve seen, this one wouldn’t exactly look right outdoors.
The store also had dolls for sale, so I bought a few for something I’ll show a bit later in this entry.
Lopez asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told him to say “if I die.” 😛
You know how I put the spooky standing lamp by Rizzo’s house the other day? Well, I changed my mind about that. Instead, I used my spooky arch, along with a custom sign for Rizzo’s house. 😉
Louie was crafting a spooky fence, and he gave me the D.I.Y. recipe for it. I haven’t crafted it yet, though.
On the beach, Tia the tea pot elephant gave me a free tea set. Over in Sudden Death Valley, I removed GOB’s magic stand to put in a small new attraction using the tea set and the dolls I bought earlier. This scene works out perfectly, because it recreates an Arrested Development scene, but the dolls are creepy, so it works as a Halloween thing as well.
I crafted a spooky tower and a spooky lantern set, and I used them to start transforming Peach Park into Pumpkin Park. I’m not done with it yet, but I already like it. 🎃
As you can see in that screenshot, Wisp was in town tonight. I collected his spirits for him, and he gave me a stately wall in return.
Shortly after talking Apple out of moving, I wrapped up my game for the night. But I’m feeling good about my Halloween decorations so far, and there are more to come. 🙂
Note: The latest changes to my island haven’t been updated to the dream version of Forest yet, but I’ll update my dream at some point this week.
This weekend, I posted two new ACCF videos: The Best of City Folk Moments, and then a new episode, City Folk Moments #11. Please check them out if you’re an ACCF fan, or if you just want some new Animal Crossing content to watch. Have a great day, and I’ll see you all next time! 🙂
