I need some oranges!

My coconut trees are the trees that are closest to the ocean, not right there at the ocean. I didnt plant any to make room closer, but that is an idea. Mine grew inspite of that, though,.

You axe the tree down, then you use your shovel to lift the stump out, then you bury a fruit in your pocket and water.

I just knocked down regular trees that normally grow fruit but that werent growing at the time.

You can come get some coconut for some oranges if you want.

I planted coconut trees without knocking any other trees down. My internet is supposed to be fixed tomorrow so I can play with you all again

So glad there are lots of us!


My town fruit is Peaches, but now I also have oranges, apples, and coconuts. Thanks to my visiting friends on AC


See you all around!

My Wii is in the repair shop now.
It went to So Cal not Washington State.
My husband was wrong.
I can not wait to get it back and play Animal Crossing with everyone.

You don't want to cut too many trees down, only the ones that are in the way of paths, or houses or that type of thing. For every tree you cut down, you should plant another.

You chop it with your axe and then dig up the stump with your shovel.

You can talk to Pelly about the environment to find out what needs to be done in the town, more trees or flowers, less weeds. Don't forget that the non-fruit trees are the ones with the bells and furniture, so you want plenty of those, too.

Plant the coconut like regular trees, near the sand but on the regular ground. Water them and they should grow. Lots of people seem to have a problem with the coconuts, though.

There are cool charms, too, the animals will tell you things like, "if a visitor cuts down a tree, your town will have good luck growing flowers" or something like that.

There is also feng shui for your house; put more green things on the south side, yellow on the west, and red on the east and you will have better luck getting furniture!

Unlike real life, the luck charms in the game really work!

FUN!

I was going to get Animal Crossing for the Wii this past weekend. When I got to the store, it was $70 with the Wii speak console, but $50 without it (i believe). Do you need the Wii speak to play the game, or do you recommend it?

I don't have Wii speak. I plug in a regular old computer keyboard to the Wii's USB port and I can type at people like normal.

Cool Town Tunes!
Go to the left station of Town Hall, click any employee and click town tunes. Now you can edit the tune that plays whenever you talk to someone or sometimes when you enter a building. Drag the frog face up and down to get lower and higher notes. Here are some examples of the many tunes you can create (lower case letters stand for the lower form of the note, higher case stands for the higher form, and underscores stand for the middle):

"Come As You Are" by Nirvana

Thanks SwampWitch for typing all those out.

Hubby ordered it for me!!!
Now I just have to wait for it to get here. And we are going to use our Gift Certificates that we got for Christmas to Kmart for the Wii Speak part, though I have a keyboard so it's great to know that I can use that too, until we get the Wii Speak. As soon as I get it and set it up, I will send you guys my info and we will PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!
Is it here yet?

Town tunes will be much easier now, thanks!

If anybody comes to visit me, I need a tree chopped down for my charm to work. Anybody play in the evenings?

Ohhhhh I've wanted to get a Wii for aaaaaaaaaaages, and hubby isn't a fan of computer games, so while he's loved playing other people's Wii's, doesn't see the point of buying one. And since he's the one who earns the money, I'm not exactly going to demand one! I can't wait to earn money again so I can splurge on things like this!

I'll just keep hinting at how much I want to get one...

I don't know about this? What happens when someone cuts down your tree? Is this for the Wii game or ds game?

Never heard about charms!
Sounds like it could be another great goal.

It's just one tree, the person can decide which one and you can plant and water another one right away. It's okay to cut down trees that are blocking paths and houses, just plant some new ones.
