The Six Common Types of Lousy Animal Crossing Cheats
Monday / 09.11.06 / 12:06AM / Joe / all entries in AC Wild World Diary
As this forum link shows, there are plenty of mistakes, mixups and outright lies inside the official Wild World Player's Guide (thanks for the link, Logan!). But the internet probably sucks harder... because of the sheer amount of misleading, confusing, manufactured information out there. At least the Player's Guide looks nice.
After hours of painstaking effort researching un-monitored garbage gaming sites like Neoseeker, Games Radar and Total Video Games, I have identified the Six Common Types of Lousy Animal Crossing Cheats.
What is it?
See, the problem with most of these sites - and why you should never bother with them - is that the "tips" all come from whatever backward pathetic kiddos happened onto Mom's Computer that day. Four times out of five, they just make stuff up and submit it... and when they lack the brain power to do that, they just type in something that actually happened to them and pretend it is somehow unique or interesting.
Identifying Characteristics
An abundance of smileys. Personal asides like "that's just my opinion."
Waste of Time Level
Minimal. You're not likely to ever care about what these tipsters are describing.
Egbert and Alli Fighting
When I had it was raining and I was by Redd's tent. Egbert will be singing and when you talk to him he will say he is moving. Alli will be next to you talk to her. She will ask you what do you think of a watch. Pick any answer, I pick as a wrist portection. She will say I think it means friendship. Then Egbert will say, "You think of me like a watch?!" Then Alli will do something, I forgot , then Egbert will be all happy.
A Good Song From K.K
First of all you need a radio then go to the museum and into the coffee place where K.K slider performs when he says "are you giving requests" say "yes" and ask for Rockin' K.K. and when he sings it its not that great but when you put it on your radio it's brilliant. But thats from my point of view. |
What is it?
Since everything that happens in Animal Crossing is triggered by the internal clock, you can do a lot of damage by jumping around in time. Moving forward in time will make trees grow, "fix" the Stalk Market, and allow you to claim the 10,000 bell gift every New Year's. Time travelling is by far the most prevalent AC hint... and the most dangerous.
Identifying Characteristics
The phrase "Now I'm a billionaire!" Almost every time travel-related cheat ends with you receiving tons of cash.
Waste of Time Level
Huge. Since you'll be doing a lot of resetting and clock-tinkering, expect to pay for your time trickery in RL time. Of course, the thing about most time travelling cheats is that, well, they work. Just at the cost of your game's carefully structured continuity.
Get Trees To Grow Faster
One day, I found a coconut on the beach. I planted it. Couldn't wait for it to grow so I set it to a week later. The tree was fully grown. So I set it a week before that and then plantd more coconuts from that tree. It was awsome! By the end of the day I had 20 palm trees!
Interested in Interest?
This a is a a cheat that will take a while and will leave you with a bunch of weeds, but it's the best way to become a Millionaire. First put all, and I mean ALL, your money in the bank. The more money you put in, the faster this cheat goes. Once you've put all your money in, save, turn off your game, go to the DS main screen, and change the year to 2000. Then turn on your game, save, change the date 2010, turn on your game, read your mail and you will receive a letter from Town Hall that says you've gained interest. Each time you change the date and read your letter you will see that the interest rate raises each time. Do this about 20 times and for sure you'll have a million dollars or more!!! |
What is it?
Although much of Animal Crossing is dull and straight forward (find stuff, sell stuff), there are a few oddball "quests" in the game. These range from shooting down Gulliver, to the branching Red Turnip delivery mission. So the presence of some legitmate quests has led to the creation of plenty of garbled fake fan-dream quests. These insidious anti-tips always promise incredible secrets that will rightly strike you as pure crap... but what if it's not? You want to see Mr. Resetti's secret home, don't you?
Identifying Characteristics
Lots of specific instructions. The phrase "This may not work all of the time." Usually ends with you witnessing some impossible hidden animation, like Timmy and Tommy outside climbing a tree.
Waste of Time Level
Gigantic. The instructions typically involve long, laborious procedures, full of restarts and occasionally time travelling. And since you'll probably screw something up, you'll feel like you should try it again and again to make it work. Which it won't.
Animal Crossing Island
Connect to the houses of four friends and give Tom Nook 50 fossils. You will get a whistle that calls Kapp'n; he will take you to Animal Crossing Island.
See Mr. Reseti's home
First you have to reset your games 2 times then get a shovel and hit all the rocks till one cracks then hit it agen to find a hole go in the hole and you will see Mr. Reseti's home.
move in your nighbors house
if your nighbor has a bed sleep in it the whole night and they will ask if your want to move in and u say yes and if its your best friend if she move u will know and when she does yall can right letters and visit her town and she can come to your town (i am talking about the animals you move in there house)
Tom Nook's home
Go to the back of Tom Nook's shop between 12:00 and 2:00 p.m. Use a shovel to hit the back wall three times, then hit the front entrance once to be able to enter and see Tom Nook in pajamas with a teddy bear. |
What is it?
These aren't even tips. These are usually game fundamentals that Moron A has submitted just to see his or her screenname published... or for the benefit of Moron B.
Identifying Characteristics
Very short.
Waste of Time Level
Nonexistent. You don't need to be told that you need a bug net to catch bugs, do you?
Free furniture
Sometimes when you go to the Town Hall, the recycling box may have furniture that you need. The lost and found at the Main Gate also may have free items. Talk to Booker, the dog on the left, to get to the lost and found.
Tortimer reference
Go to the Post Office and talk to Pelly at the Civics part. If you look at the background, you can see a bit of Tortimer's face behind a counter. |
What is it?
One of the oldest tricks in video games: turn it off. Restarting in Animal Crossing usually results in a slightly different randomized effect, like Wendell gives you a different pattern.
Identifying Characteristics
A faint arrogance, as if the tipster has lowered him/herself by deigning to share such an obvious cheat.
Waste of Time Level
Big. If you're missing one of Gracie's shirts, you're going to have to reset for hours to get the game to generate the specific one you need.
No more fake paintings.
When Crazy Redd visits save your game. Then go inside and buy a painting. If it is a fake, turn the power off. ( be careful, Mr. Resetti comes)
Finish the fossil exhibition.
Can't find those last few fossils? Collect 15 fossils but don't identify them. Save your game and start again. Go directly to your main gate and say you want to go out using wifi (if you don't have a friend code find anyone's code of the internet). You don't have to actually go out, you just need to get to the point where you would select a town. Cancel out of the wifi settings. Go to the museum and let Blathers identify your fossils, once he finds one you don't have donate it and save. If he doesn't find a new one turn off the DS, because you went to the wifi settings Resetti won't come. When you turn it back on the fossils won't be identified and will be completely different when Blathers identifies them the next time around. You have to go to the wifi before you identify anything beause the wifi access will save your game. |
What is it?
The ultimate in bad hints, this rambling, incoherant mess would not make sense to Nintendo EAD themselves.
Identifying Characteristics
Gigantic paragraphs with no punctuation, with the exception of a hundred exclamation points at the end. Probably feels like a #1 until you realize that the tipster seems to be vainly communicating a series of steps.
Waste of Time Level
Massive, but not because of any time spent in-game... it's due to you trying to decode the AOL L33Tspeak.
proof nook hides all the good stuff
wat u got to do is get nook to upgrade his store any store and then start a new caracter when he is remodeling he hides all the good stuff and it is cheap as dirt like one time he had the moon another time he had the whole robo serise but u cant buy it and if u are there at the right time u can see red buying stuff from nook but once u come in he drops the stuff and runs then when u go see him at his tent he will be mad at u
Get soaked
Go too Able Sisters and make a design,Make it white with a red stripe going straight down,Then put stars or hearts on each cornner,When you have the design go to the beach,any place were you can get close to the water will work,go as close to the water as you can then make sure your not wearing the design put the design down buy the water now wait untill it stops raining pick up the design but dont put it on wait untill another raining day put the design on in the rain and also make the design into an ummbrella aswell the wait 5 or 10 mins then put away the ummbrela and wait for it to stop rainingand then youll be soaked when you go inside a building or a house |
