AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Don't you mean fake rock? Or do you just have a silver or golden shovel?

I still don't have perfect town.
They always want more stuff.
THEY'RE INSATIABLE.

Same, D-vid. I have built everything except Katrina's and the final Nook store, I have a campsite, a cafe, a fountain, 2 more bridges, a lamp, another lamp, a clock, a bench, and I'm pretty sure I have some hedges somewhere but nope. Still not enough public works projects.

I've got the silver/gold shovel and the very real rocks that sometimes spew cheddar/ores out of them can indeed happen to all player villagers. I got bored and started hitting random rocks and popped out a whole buncha ores.

They only spew out ores if you have a silver or gold shovel, otherwise it's always cheddar. And if you have bad luck while you're hitting it it spits out an extra 100 bell cluster before it spits out bigger ones, meaning you can only get 8,200 instead of 16,100

I keep forgetting to mention the magical powers of the silver/golden shovels. Whoopsie.

I think if the game is buggin you about public works projects it's because you don't have the balance between modern and natural?? It's been a while since I did it.

What ordinances do you guys have in place? I have Keep New Leaf Beautiful.

Same. I think most people have that one.

Also dammit, it never rains in my town past 4, I want my coelacanth.

Then wake up at 1 in the morning, or time travel and hope weather happens.

I used to have Nightowl until I realised I can just change the system time.
For some reason flowers still wilt when I don't play for a while though even with the beautiful ordinance.

Since the game knows you're time traveling, that's just one of the punishments for doing it. Sometimes the neighbors will hear a rumor saying that you're a time traveler.

Far as I know, time traveling: makes flowers wilt, rots turnips(unless you know a trick), starts the "Time Traveling" mayor rumor, changes the ReTail special item if you go back, and (insert other bad things here).

I used to TT a lot, but now I only do it to listen to K.K.'s acoustic show.

I would TT, but I don't want to mess shit up
I'm willing to do it on a second cartridge though

It won't mess your things up too much, as long as you don't just jump 6 or so months.
