I started up the game today by coming out of my house. Wait, how is that possible? Apparently Nook built the house around me as I slept. At any rate, I’m glad I’m not homeless any more.
I had a letter from my Mom in my mailbox; she sent me a modern wood sofa. As I went inside to check out my house, Isabelle barged in. She said she had some wallpaper to give me as a housewarming gift. That was nice of her. Unfortunately, my pockets were full, so she said she’ll mail it to me instead. That situation makes so little sense when you imagine it happening in real life.
I still put my sofa and kart down to see how they looked. The kart has a parasail, like the karts from Mario Kart 7.
I then went over to Re-Tail to sell all the stuff in my pockets. No matter what time of day, this kid is always sleeping. And Reese yells at me when I try to talk to him.
I then headed over to Nook Homes on Main Street. He told me I owe him 39,800 bells now. Considering how generous the money rocks are in this game, that shouldn’t take me long. He also told me that I’m required to sign up for the Happy Room Academy inspections. He said they will come over to my house and inspect my house…and my hygiene?! That sounds really invasive. What are they going to do? Inspect my teeth and sniff my armpits?
I then went to Nookling Junction. Oooh, a bug net! I had to buy that. And every fancy house simply must have a steamroller, so I bought that too.
I then bought my fortune cookie with two Play Coins. At first, he told me it wasn’t a winner…
But he was faking me out. He said as a consolation prize, I get…a steamroller. WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I just spent 4,000 bells on a steamroller! UGH!
I guess the moral of the story is to buy your fortune cookie before you buy anything else. But still, what are the odds?
Anyway, I went outside to try out my bug net. My first bug was a yellow butterfly.
I caught five bugs in total. While walking around, I saw a construction site. It looks like Fuchsia is going to be moving in tomorrow. A quick web search reveals that Fuchsia is a pink deer. Well, at least she’s not Jambette or Elise.
I went over to town hall and sat in my mayor’s chair. Even though I now have a house, I still can’t get my town development permit because my approval rating is not 100%. Isabelle told me to sell things at Re-Tail to improve my rating. Of course, I have been selling things at Re-Tail. Perhaps a certain monetary amount must be reached.
I then did a little fishing. I saw a balloon present floating by in the distance.
After I was done there, I headed to the museum to donate my catches and have some fossils identified. And then I noticed something. You can have Blathers identify multiple fossils at once! Likewise, you can donate multiple items at once too! Wow! This is seriously a huge improvement, since previous Animal Crossing games made you do these tasks one painstaking item at a time.
I was about done playing, but I made one last stop at home. I put my steamroller (well, one of them) in the middle of my house. So fancy, right? The HRA is going to love me now. Well, assuming I keep my ears clean.
