Yesterday, I took inventory of the furniture in my sleek room to see if I had the complete set. It turns out I was two items short, so I went up to a former SpotPass home in the Happy Homes Showcase to order them; they arrived today. Now I should have the whole set.
Outside, Molly gave me a quick survey from a magazine and said I needed a book called Good Turnip, Rotten Turnip to be happy. Amazon doesn’t seem to have this book in stalk stock yet, but I’m sure it will turnip soon.
Teddy was talking about how you can wear wet suits to swim in the ocean. He felt bad because none of the wet suits available would fit him.
He then asked if he could come over to my house later. We agreed to meet up at 5:00. When the time came, he came in…and called me Mom?? I’m not the momma!
The top Happy Homes Academy rewards are triggered once you hit 150,000 HHA points. And that’s a new goal of mine now. That’s why I made sure I had the full sleek set earlier. It’s also why I plan on keeping the full creepy and spooky sets in my house for a while longer, even though Halloween is over.
I went up to see Lyle at Nook Homes to see my current score. As of this morning, it was 107,349 points.
It should definitely jump by tomorrow now that I’ll have the full sleek set, but I don’t know how much. But Lyle continued on, giving me some tips and telling me what helps. Apparently the picture of Molly (and presumably the other villager pics as well) gives me some bonus points.
He did warn me that the bonus only applies as long as I remain friends with that animal. So apparently if I start ignoring someone (Tabby?), I will lose that bonus. He also informed me that hard-to-find items will score higher, as will refurbished furniture. Good to know.
Luna informed me that Matthew from Hocotate was my most recent dream visitor. So hello to Matthew if you’re reading this!
I’ll leave you with one tip I’ve run across on some forums. This may be considered a slight spoiler about the harvest festival (Thanksgiving) for later this month, so you may want to skip the next paragraph if you don’t want to hear it.
Okay, here’s the tip. You know the mushrooms that you’re finding on the ground all month? You may want to save several of each kind in your storage. That’s because they will be used in recipes at the harvest festival. This is going to be quite different from the harvest festivals on GameCube and Wii. But start saving them up now if you want to do well at the festival.
Anyway, I did a little fishing and diving to try for more of the new November catches, but I didn’t score any tonight. Well, that’s all I have for today, but I hope to see you back here again soon. Thanks for reading!
