As I started up the game this morning, Isabelle told me something I was not expecting to hear. She told me to say goodbye to Nan, because she’s all packed up and moving out! Normally when animals give you a moving date, that’s the date they will be packed up in boxes. But Nan told me she was moving on the 30th, and yet she was in boxes on the 29th!
Eventually, I think I figured out the glitch that caused the problem. When Nan told me her moving date, I took a picture for that day’s blog entry. But when I looked at the date/time of that picture, I saw it was taken at 12:01 a.m. on June 25th–just after midnight. Animal Crossing days start at 6 a.m., while calendar days start at midnight.
The game apparently determined the moving date to be five days from that moment. In terms of Animal Crossing days, that was still the 24th. So that means Nan would move out on June 29th. But five days from that moment in terms of calendar days would be June 30th–the date Nan gave me as the moving date. So if an animal decides on a moving date after midnight, be careful–they may be moving out a day earlier than what they tell you.
I tried to get ahold of the-nice-cat, who I was planning on giving Nan to, but I wasn’t successful. But I’ll have more about that later on this entry.
In other news, Forest is now officially a Night Owl town again! I’ll actually be able to shop and sell things most days now!
I tracked down Joan to buy some turnips. She was selling them for 109 bells each, and I bought 1,100 of them for a total of 119,900 bells.
I got a bunch of StreetPasses today, and that included a whopping six New Leaf houses in the Happy Homes Showcase.
Mayor Brent from Beemo had this western-themed room. Surprisingly, I don’t recall seeing a western room in New Leaf before.
And Mayor Fish from Giha is clearly a big fan of My Little Pony.
As for Nan, I knew of a tip from Leo’s cycling guide that can be used to prevent overnight voiding of a villager. Hopefully I can save Nan and the-nice-cat will be able to pick her up tomorrow. If it doesn’t work out for any reason, I hope that the-nice-cat will be able to forgive me.
I was unaware of this glitch where it reports the wrong moving date. Hopefully by me posting about it here, other people will be aware of it too. I’ll let you all know how it turns out in tomorrow’s blog entry, so I’ll see you then.
