Jeff's ACWW Blog

Margie has started asking me for white furniture, so I’ve been shopping for her as well lately. Tom Nook has had a lot of kitchen items, and Margie accepts them as white. So I gave her a stove and a kitchen corner last Monday.

Last Tuesday, Benedict told me something that his father told him: Never trust anyone who says they like everything.

Tuesday also happened to be Margie’s birthday. I gave her a kitchen sink, and she really seemed to appreciate it.

She gave me a mahjong table in return. And it’s hard to see in the above screenshot, but Mathilda was also at Margie’s party.

On Thursday, Kabuki told me about a letter he got from the Happy Room Academy. He told me they said his room had a Fungus Sway infection?

That really left me confused at first. But then I realized, he was talking about feng shui. I still don’t quite get where the word “infection” would have come up, but oh well. I guess Kabuki just got a little confused.

I made a snowman, and he sent me a snowman bed in the mail. I didn’t play last Friday, but I received it on Saturday. The problem is that it was flea market day, so villagers kept coming in my house when I was trying to find a place for the bed! First Big Top, then Kabuki, and then Goldie!

I get comments on Youtube sometimes from people who miss the flea markets in Wild World and City Folk, but I can’t say I agree. It’s so frustrating when you’re just trying to put a piece of furniture down, and you can’t. I ultimately left the bed in the middle of my room.

When I walked a bit south from my house, I was very surprised to see a new villager: Buck!

The most surprising part is that he was outside; he wasn’t indoors unpacking his boxes! His house was not there on Thursday, and I didn’t play on Friday. But I did turn the game on to check out the weather. However, I turned the game off after seeing no snow on the title screen. Does the game treat it as a day played if it simply loads the title screen? It shouldn’t… but why else would Buck already be outside? Hmm…

Yesterday (February 2nd) was Groundhog Day. Even though Wild World doesn’t really celebrate the occasion like the other games in the series do, I did get a letter from Mom about it.

Buck must be allergic to Forest, because he was already sick! Or maybe he just had a Fungus Sway infection. Either way, I gave him some medicine so he can get buck to feeling like himself.

Today (Monday) is the start of Bright Nights. Even though it wasn’t quite dark yet when I played, I saw that the villagers’ houses were still decorated with blinking lights.

Outside of town hall, Tortimer joked that the lights of Bright Nights were burning his eyes. 😛

After I told him I enjoyed the lights, he forced me to choose whose lights were the best. Since Benedict just walked by, I said his name. 😛 But there aren’t really any consequences to your choice.

Since last week, I’ve posted a new Wild World video, episode 24. But I just realized I forgot to embed episode 23 in the blog from the week before. So here are both videos. I hope you enjoy them!

It’s been a full week since the last entry, and I played almost every day. A lot has happened, so I’m going to divide this entry into sections for each day.

Monday

At the start of the week, I saw Dr. Shrunk from across the river and I tried to wave to him. But even though he was (blankly) looking in my direction, he wouldn’t wave. It’s probably because he’s an NPC and not a villager, but I’m still going to take it personally.

I bought a lovely carpet at Nookington’s, and I mailed it to Rosie. I knew it would match her room.

Teddy again told he was going to give me a free item, and then said he forgot to bring it. I was sick of him playing this prank, so I had to pull a little prank of my own.

I saw two snowballs that weren’t very far apart, so I built myself a snowman. He turned out perfect. ☃

Tuesday

Rosie replied to my letter, and she sent me a palace tile. I also had a letter from the snowman; he sent me a snowman fridge. I put it in my house, replacing my regular refrigerator that I used to access my storage.

When I visited Rosie, I was happy to see that she installed the lovely carpet in her house.

Wednesday

Rosie was talking about Yay Day, and she said she would have to come up with something nice to say about me that was believable! Wow, Rosie is usually so sweet, but that was pretty rude.

Mathilda asked me for a fossil, so I gave her a fern fossil that I already had in my pockets. In return, she gave me a stone wall.

Friday

Even though I played on Thursday, nothing of interest happened. On Friday, I gave Kabuki another piece of green furniture–a green bed. He rewarded me with 710 bells.

I also gave Mathilda another fossil, an ammonite, and she gave me 510 bells.

Teddy was walking around outside, but I didn’t speak to him.

Sunday

I did not play yesterday (Saturday), but I was still quite to surprised to find a goodbye letter from Teddy in the mail today!

Sometimes villagers stick around for two days while they’re packed up, so it’s a bit confusing as to why that doesn’t always happen. But still, I’m glad Teddy is the one that moved out. Maybe he’s been reading my blog and saw that he wasn’t wanted. Or maybe it was the pitfall. 😂

Anyway, Today is Yay Day…the day to give villagers compliments. Big Top got things started by complimenting me…he said I was cool like a banana split.

In return, I told him he is a superhero.

Kabuki told me I look so good that the fruit is turning to cobbler on the trees. I told him he’s a ninja. I also told Goldie she’s a good girl, I told Margie she’s a sweetie, and I told Rosie she’s a princess.

I was running out of compliments, so I kind of avoided Mathilda. 😛

Not in Mint Condition

On Thursday, Mint had her belongings all packed up. She was preparing to move out of town, and I decided to let her go. Even though I generally like Mint as a character, she had started to rub me the wrong way in Wild World (just as Static and Teddy have). I’m sure our paths will cross again in another game and we’ll get along better then.

She was still packed up on Friday, but she was gone by Saturday. This is the goodbye letter she sent me. She even insulted me on her way out of town.

Sick as a Dog

I had continued giving Goldie medicine on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So on Saturday, she was finally feeling better. She gave me a fairy tale wall to thank me.

BFF = Best Forest Friend

Margie told me I was her best friend in Forest…so she had a special gift for me. It was her picture!

I went home to put it in my house and take a look at it. Margie’s favorite quote is “Keep your feet on the ground.” This is what my villager pic collection currently looks like:

Does the Golden Watering Can Water 9 Squares?

I found a spot where there were three wilted flowers near each other, so I decided to conduct a test. I wanted to see if the golden watering can waters as many spaces as it does in City Folk and New Leaf. Take a look at the layout of the wilted flowers here:

I stood all the way against the tree, and then faced south so I was sure I was watering the flower directly in front of me (the center one, if you will).

The next day (Sunday, which is today), I checked the results. The two flowers that were lined up horizontally or vertically with the watered spot were revived. But the flower that was diagonal to the watered spot was dead and gone.

So this is what the golden watering can waters in ACWW, with “x” being the spot watered, and the green squares being the spots that receive water.

So it does not water all 9 squares in Wild World, although it does in City Folk and New Leaf. That’s rather disappointing.

New House

I spotted a new house in town…that was quick! Mathilda the black kangaroo just moved in.

I’ve been continuing to give Big Top and Kabuki new green furniture when I can. Kabuki’s house in particular is really starting to look nice! It’s like a brand new house!

That is one aspect of ACWW that I never fully appreciated until very recently. Each villager consistently asks for furniture of a certain color or theme, and you can watch their house come together each time you help them out. It’s surprisingly satisfying, knowing you played a big role in how their house looks.

Today, I posted a new video that takes a look at some of the typos and mistakes I’ve encountered in the Animal Crossing series. It’s only two minutes long, so I hope you’ll give it a watch!

See you all next time! 🙂
