Month: April 2022

Yesterday, Lottie sent me Pavé’s photo in the mail. His favorite quote on the back is “There is no right or wrong. There is only Pavé.” That’s the same quote he used in New Leaf.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked at the north beach, but he didn’t have any art that I needed for the museum. Still, I bought myself a (fake) ancient statue, just because I think it would be cool to have an army of the little guys.

Today, I went out to work on Lottie’s Island. Lottie was speaking with Niko, when Lottie suddenly had to be evacuated due to a medical emergency. No, really!

Wilbur flew her out to a hospital somewhere, and Niko took over at the main desk of Paradise Planning. The good news is that I could still work; the bad news is that I couldn’t find my own client. I was forced to design a vacation home for Knox the chicken.

His theme was “Castle of the Noble Knight.” I picked out a location where he could have a moat around his castle. Unfortunately, that didn’t leave much space for the castle itself. 😛

Indoors, I used the slate flooring and rustic-stone wall. I gave Knox a throne, a stonework kitchen, two guards (plate armor), and some golden elegant furniture that was fit for a king.

By the time I finished, Lottie was already back at the office. She said she ate something at the celebration party that disagreed with her. But let me tell you a little secret: I was at that party, and she didn’t eat a thing! All she did was drink, drink, drink! 😛 Anyway, the big drunk paid me 15,000 Poki for my work. 😂

Back in Forest, I found Gulliver washed up on the beach. I recovered his communicator parts for him. Celeste was also in town tonight, and she gave me five star fragments.

Later tonight, after making my rounds, I returned to Lottie’s Island. I was finally able to work for the client of my choice: Label. So I scanned Labelle’s amiibo card to summon Label. She informed me that her sisters would also be using the vacation house, but I didn’t let that deter me from my plans.

I picked out a scenic location, but I didn’t do much to the yard.

My plan for this project was to make GracieGrace. City Folk-era GracieGrace, to be specific…when it was Labelle, not Gracie, running the shop. I used the dark parquet flooring and stately wall to make it look like the upscale shop that it is. I put some clothing and accessories on display, as well as some high-end furniture. That elegant furniture from Knox’s castle came in handy!

I’m quite pleased with how it turned out! Do you like it? If you’d like to refresh your memory of the ACCF shop, check this out.

Back at the office, Lottie paid me another 15,000 Poki for my work.

Have a great weekend, everyone! See you all next time! 🙂

Today, I scanned Pavé’s amiibo card at Paradise Planning to build him a new vacation home. I picked out an island where it’s springtime, and I got to work.

However, a particular peacock problem promptly became apparent: I could not use any of the Festivale furniture. I could add rainbow feathers (since they’re a DIY-craftable item), but that’s it. So I just tried to make a colorful, festive scene as best I could. I added balloons, flashy-flower signs, and I made a stage (with stage lights) where Pavé can dance his tail-feathers off.

Indoors, I used the club wall and club flooring, along with a disco ball and more stage lights to give Pavé his own private dance club.

Admittedly, this isn’t my best vacation home design. And it’s clearly underwhelming compared to my last couple of designs, which I liked a lot. But not having Festivale furniture available really handcuffed me with this design.

I called his house “Club Peacock,” and Lottie paid me 15,000 Poki for my work. In other Paradise Planning news, Niko has informed me that I can now build brick counters and pillars.

Back in Forest, I found a lost item (a picture book) on the ground. I returned it to its owner Bones, and he gave me a cook cap with logo. But more importantly, I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for completing my 300th favor (and the Smile Isle achievement).

I had been stuck on 299 favors for a few days, so it was nice to finally get that done. And just moments later, I gave some medicine to a sick Agent S to complete favor #301. 😛

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in an “everyday” outfit. She gave me an apron to use as an example, so I put it on. I also added some acid-washed jeans, a mesh cap, and I kept on my rubber-toe sneakers. Label was satisfied with my appearance, and she gave me some Labelle socks.

I later found Wisp in town, and I recovered his spirits for him. He rewarded me with a fancy gift known as a shopping bag. 😛

See you all next time!

On Sunday, Becky the chicken was camping at the campsite.

I just saw her two weeks prior on a mystery island! But I was more than happy to tell her once again that I didn’t want her anywhere near my town. 😛

Yesterday, I redeemed more Nook Points for a raccoon wall clock. I’ve now acquired all of the NookLink items, even though I may not have mentioned all of them in the blog.

My material donations to Niko have led to his invention of some new counters and pillars, including the “simple” and concrete ones.

On Lottie’s Island, I’m now able to call up VIP clients (special characters from amiibo). So I scanned an amiibo of the dreamy Luna. VIP clients don’t have suggested themes, but I already knew I wanted to install a new PWP: The Dream Suite! 😉

The exterior house options are limited, of course, but I tried to make it look at least somewhat like the original building. New Leaf players may remember that blue trash can on Main Street. 😉

Indoors, I was hurt by the inability to use items in my catalog. Luna’s bed is already in the game, but I couldn’t use it yet. And I used a small vase and made it smoke (with “steamshine”) to fill in for the gyroid. So I may want to make those changes at a future date. But for now, I’m fairly pleased with how the Dream Suite came out. 🙂

Back at the office, Lottie paid me 15,000 Poki for my work. Lottie said that was my 20th home designed, so we went out to the restaurant to celebrate. She mentioned a dance party once I complete 30 homes, so I still have a ways to go!

Today, Wardell sent me a Paradise Planning phone case in the mail. Lottie sent me Luna’s pic; her favorite quote is “Dreams are but a reflection of your unconscious self.”

I have two more Happy Home Paradise homes that I want to design soon, so check back soon for those. See you next time!
