Animal Crossing New Leaf - My Daily Routine!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- So, this is incredibly random! I've been asked a few times to do a Daily Routine video, and only now have I gotten around to it.
I feel as if my channel is beginning to fall into a routine of it's own, only occasionally changed up by a How To video. I hope to come out with more variety in my content, so hopefully you guys like it :)
I once had perfect peaches in my town. Since I was a little kid at the time, I didn't know what to do with them.
I didn't sell them...
I didn't plant more...
But I ate them.
That was the biggest mistake in my life.
What a mood I did the same
I’m gonna eat them the day horizon comes out to mark a new life.
I did the same back in 2013! But one week ago, in 2020, I finally got a perfect peach. You can get it if you keep collecting all peaches! Eventually it will grow a perfect one
Since I was 13 I was blaming myself...and now with almost 20, guess who has redeem herself? Yeah...😎
Kinda sad lol
Been in them men's size 13 nikes before...
Clay4Trey I didn’t know what to do with my perfect fruit. So I put them in my dresser. Never used lol
Your museum is on the other side of town than it is in my game, looks funny to me since I'm so used to it being on the right side of Mainstreet 😅
I feel like most people's (who I've visited) have theirs on the right...but I've had mine on the left in every single town lol
SimplyPressStart same, in both towns they were on the left
Mandy Carolina same because I hate having the town reversed
Mandy Carolina me too 😐
Mandy Carolina Mines on the left too
Huh my native fruit is oranges also... and kyle is in my town
WOW
I haven't played animal crossing for months now because I deleted my town and I've tried to start but it's so boring at the beginning. Your town is gorgeous!
I know what you mean! Restarting after my last save got corrupted was really difficult because it was so boring.
+SimplyPressStart I really really like your town. It's so pretty, I wish we could play together
+SimplyPressStart once I caught like 7 dorados, from ur save and continue method. And if u want a perfect orange try planting an orange and next to it with fertilizer
+SimplyPressStart I Am A Terrible Acnl Player. On 2014 I Made Pinkie (My Town) And The Furthest I Have Gotten Is Brewsters. I need help!!!! Is My Town Good Enough For 2 years?
I understand because I lost my games, and I had to restart Pokemon y, animal crossing new leaf, and metroid prime hunter.
funny. I got a perfect fruit on my first day. strange..
+Cleverdinoboy I did on my first town and then in this one I didn't have the same luck :/
SimplyPressStart If I ever started a new town I think I''d leave some fruit with a friend. I feel so lucky now.
SimplyPressStart I've had three towns. I've gotten multiple perfect fruit within the first week in each one.
DJDonkeys It seems really strange how that works.
Cleverdinoboy I believe that on the first day you are required, or at least more likely to get one.
I've played ever sense the game released but I'm resetting my town so I can have a fresh start or as some people call it turning a new leaf
Good luck with your new town :)
since not sense
Ayyyyyyy
Boi
Lmaoooo
I've had my town since 2013 so for about 6 years and it still looks a mess
I deleted my og town and started a new one this week
@@chickpea same lol
I miss hearing Blather's go on and on.
Yeah, and I miss super rude Resetii (yes ik its spelled wrong)
There are no constellations in New Leaf? And with that no Celeste either? I don't see why there couldn't be...
@@codyhanson1344 Celeste runs the museum shop
I don't
i only remember playing new leaf and i wish blathers talked more- once he started talking about his mother then shut himself up :(
Did you know that when you start a town theres always ONE perfect fruit tree?
+Pink2004luigi Yep! :D
im pretty sure everyone knows that
yeah and I accidentally planted it too close to a cliff and it never grew...
Babadook? More like BabaSHOOk lol something similar happened to me, I planted it too close to my house
AUTUMN BLEVINS actually I didn’t
I'm watching a ton of animal crossing vids that are recommended to me because I'm so hyped for new horizons.
That dank guy SAME LMAO
@@void5306 turn out new leaf is still better
I love your paths...
+jessica walker Thank you!
+SimplyPressStart Welcome!! Just wish I had the paitence and the creativity to make them lol
jessica walker You can find a lot of qr codes for paths on tumblr!
@@junebugg045 you could just look up animal crossing new leaf QR codes. You could also put in a key word to find a certain one you want (e.g. candy, forest, pastel). To activate the QR camera, you have to unlock the sewing machine in the Able Sister
@@pxter I have paths, I knew this already, thank you though :)
I'm pretty sure they are wolves, because there is a "wolf" named Lobo, and "Lobo" means "Wolf" in Spanish. :P
Chicken Nugget I always thought of them as Wolves
Chicken Nugget love your icon, hehe! :3
I HATE LOBO SO FLIPPING MUCH.
I'm Spanish and I can confirm that is true.
@@victoriavictoria4906 lobo is not only a spanish word but also filipino
Currently waiting for animal crossing on the Switch.
Itari Jynx wait no more my friend
Not long now & i have it pre ordered. Do you want to exhange codes?. Im an older gamer, myself and im looking to add people generally around my own age.
One day!
IT’S HERE 💛✨💛✨
Itari Jynx it’s out today!
You should bury one pitfall seed in the very corner of your town (maybe that dead end corner) cuz then they will stop spawning! :)
I love a good pitfall now and then. Surprise!!
I bury the pitfall seed next to my unwanted villager then i push them
I put pitfall seeds in the entrance of my sister's house and she does it to me too. Its the pitfall war
When you first start is there one already spawned in because I’ve been trying to find it and I can’t find it 😂 I found all 4 fossils but no pitfall😪
The clovers... The Clovers.... THE CLOVERS! ITS HURTING MY OCD!!!
lol, I always liked them personally :3
I'm the same lol
i love clovers!
I like the clovers
mom's spaghetti ikr lol
Its been 5 years, I started playing New Leaf yesterday, and I really like how your video has such a Warm Cozy homely feeling, thank you :')
do you wanna play with me?
how are you enjoying new leaf? I got it recently and I'm hooked
@@skyelorspacex im hooked too
You are a little obsessed with flowers
+ImWorth Juuust a tiny bit lol
You can never have too much flowers
I'm drowning in flowers in my town
Yeah.....”little obsessed”
i just started playing this game, so i’m going through and watching videos of other people’s towns. i really like yours, it’s my favorite so far. :)
Yeah
I feel like I’ve missed out all these years. I just now got a 3ds. Ahhh we love being broke
@@dillpickle9983 lol same here. I just got my 3ds this year
this is my favorite AC channel. your videos are so relaxing. I'm watching while trying to catch a tarantula~
I'm glad you enjoy it, and good luck with the Tarantula!
...Well this is very odd... I stumbled across this video by chance to find a girl with my name who also has one of my town names. Seriously, Rosewood was the name of my first town, I've since rebooted several times and had many names and towns, this still creeps me a bit though
Oh well that's a rather strange coincidence lol
Well I suppose these things happen
I'm so happy I found your channel. New Horizons was my first AC game and I'm going to get New Leaf because it looks like lots of fun! Thank you for providing all these helpful videos for people who don't know what they're doing :D
Me too!!
i played new leaf first
i don't know how easy i got it
Same. haha ^_^
Oof I played Wild World first. You'll never know..
@@loxp1713same. You'd always start the game getting out of bed that's one of the main things I'll remember
Samee-
I played wild world but I was like 6
Your town is SOOOO beautiful! I recently started my game up again as... I literally had my 3DS stolen TWICE then the third one was thrown by a horrible ex of mine.. So I have had to restart this game 3 times now. ;w; I'm so in love with your town though and I am going to strive to make my town as beautiful as yours!
I'm so sorry to hear all of that! My town is really a major work in progress, so I'm sure your town will catch up (and surpass) mine in no time :)
Lions Notice OMG I HAD MY 3DS STOLEN TOO TWO YEARS AGO!!! I CRIED FOR MONTHS AND I FINALLY GOT MY NEW ONE THIS CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!
Katie Hrach yay!!!
Katie Hrach fun game yea? I kind of just got the game. Xd
I clicked on this video and said I wonder if anyone does what I do in animal crossing and literally EVERYTHING you do I do. The whole like nothing under this amount and screw GRAICE thing is how I play excatly
+Logan O My play style twin lol
SimplyPressStart 😂😂 TWINZIES
i always hated kyle in my town, i put a stop sign in front of his house to inform my other villagers that danger was ahead. it’s funny to see how other people see your favourite/least favourite villagers
Noooo i think hes so goofy i love him
shaking your non-perfect trees gives you a new chance of perfect fruit ! but you can't grow perfect fruits of your non-native fruit
Yep! Thankfully I got my perfect oranges not long after this video was made :D
SimplyPressStart oranges was my native fruit in City folk
@@nadsbow That's not possible, it's even on the official animal crossing wiki
Sans Undertale So you like to lie huh?
What are native fruits and how do you find what one it is
I'm binge watching AC videos because I thought I had lost my cartridge but I found it two months later in one of my sister's shoes and I'm so happy to have my town back 💖
+Milexa Rodriguez What a random place to find the game XD glad you got it back!
Why dont you bury a pitfall somewhere you and your villagers never go to so that way they no longer spawn? Works for me!
...I just push the only cranky villager I have in my town into it.
This is like three years late but 😂 My town has the same layout as yours. Like the same map lmao
Lol I'm thinking of getting Animal Crossing New Leaf even though i have Animal Crossing New Horizons
I've been to so many dream towns and they all have the same river layout
@@no2038
Sameee
Edit: I got it
@@bubbleteaviolet3394 nice I still don't have it lol
@@no2038 You should definitely get it, it’s so much better than new horizons
OMG Gala! She was one of the villagers I started with, and she is my absolute favorite. I've kept her in my village for about 4 years and counting
I have a perfect town status but it's kind of a mess with random flowers and trees everywhere, any advice on how to organise it all like you have?
+AverageGamerWill I try to organize based off colour and breed of flower, if that helps :P
Cut them down and plant new ones if you want.
I don’t do it based off colour or type of flower. In different area I have mixes of flowers that I think go well together, for example orange pansies with pink tulips or black tulips with blue pansies.
@@Charlie-rp2wi that's how I do it.
I've mixed yellow tulip with red Rose's and that
Same i have so many random flowers and trees I wish i could just put it were i want
just discovered this channel, im from the future playing new horizons. somehow my island is also named ROSEWOOD LIKE WHATTT
i have 1500hours clocked in animal crossing new leaf xD and still my tree isnt the biggest one :
holy mother of
Andari Voom I skipped 50 years
Colinz2 Gamming oh and did it work??? Does the tree grow full?
no.
You have to actually play lol
I've had my acnl since 2014
I believe I got mine way back when it first came out in NA (so around June 2013, I think?)
SimplyPressStart I got it about two weeks afterwards
i remember in primary school me and my friends were hyped about getting the game ;'D, we acted like we were the characters and everything
My drawing Life me 2
Same I got it 4/19/15 four days after my 10th birthday
Listening to you talk is pretty calming as you’re well articulated
Love your town 💖💖
Thanks! :3
SimplyPressStart hey you wanna be friends on ACNL my town is really nice too :3
SimplyPressStart Your town is better than mine 😂
i can give you some perfect oranges.
Half the fun of donating something to the museum was seeing what Blathers had to say about a particular thing. Sometimes he would give factual information about said thing that wasn't already given in the book.
anyone still playing that would like to exchange friend codes and visit each others towns.
DRoIDZeKA me
Mario Kart 8 Madness cool whats your friend code
DRoIDZeKA sure
DRoIDZeKA i have a skype btw
Pokèfan Plays Gamez G. whats your friend code????
I was planting a perfect orange when you said “I don’t have a perfect orange” 😂
Your perfect fruit is found on the first day in your town on one of your trees. Not by planting just an orange. :)
See that happened in my first town, but every town after that didn't have a perfect fruit from the start (or maybe I placed my house on top of that tree, who knows.) I ended up getting a whole load of perfect oranges now anyway :)
:)
I still have ptsd from wild world and blathers talking for so long that whenever I get fossils assessed in new leaf I repeatedly hit the A button to try and get through as fast as possible haha
OMG I USED TO HAVE KYLE PRINCE ANNALISE IN MY OLD TOWN
and i now have Wendy
hey, lol.
Catisawesome I have wendy,timbra,bill,lopez,miranda,Flo and a few more
in a previous game, i had prince in my town as one of my starting villagers, shame my mother dissected my 2ds that i downloaded the game on.
Your house and the rest of your town is incredible! I love the flowers and the roads and everything, you know how to design a town! Mine is just a bunch of trees and flowers scattered everywhere. I might get one of my friends, if they're experienced, to add roads or something.
Thank you :3
You're welcome! My town is really ugly right now, still waiting for the sewing machine and garden shop (i started being mayor four days ago) so I can build roads. The garden shop is for the axe to chop down trees in the way.
Just something I noticed, you have really nicely placed rocks that help with getting money rocks biggest potential lol
+SweetCupcakes I did get very lucky with rock placement in this town :P
SimplyPressStart Yes you did! Defidently saves time finding money rock!
I stopped playing ACNL, due to stress, school and just general problems. After watching your *WONDERFUL* videos, im inspired and plan on restarting my little happy place on animal crossing. thanks !
my fav villager = Nana (tiger)
tends to get sick the most = Nana
the one that moved by accedent = Nana
*the last thing made me so angry and sad I reset and didnt play again untill i found this channel im an idiot, lol.*
+Artist Riolu Oh gosh, I think I would be upset too if my favorite villager left lol
Yeah, but I got lucky and Nana showed up in my 2 town too
So its fine XD
My favorite villager is Lyman
My favourite villager left in my first town that I had from 2014 to 15.
Her name was ruby and she was a really cute white bunny and she reminded me of my rabbit that recently died, that's why I loved her.
But me, being the little shit of a kid I was, made the town messy to the point nobody wanted to live there.
Every time I reset my town, I always hope that Ruby will be at the station, waiting for me.
I know this was 2 years ago but isn't Nana a monkey, and not a tiger?
I love your videos! It's so relaxing to watch you just playing one of my favourite childhood games, the snazzy background music, and you just vibing!
Wow you have Francine? I have Chrissy in my town.
I had Chrissy in my old town also, but I restarted since somebody destroyed my town
I have Chrissy too, I really want to move in Francine next to her lmao
For anyone who doesn't know, Clovers ARE weeds. It says it in the online guide to New leaf. Hope this helps.
1:33 OH MY GOSH U HAVE KYLE I HAVE KYLE! KYLE IS MY FAVORITE VILLAGER! GIMME FIVE
👋👋👋👋👋
Kyle is awesome! :D
SimplyPressStart ikr, he was about to move out of my town but I didn't want him to so I said no and he stayed. I was so happy!
Kyle is a good animal
Kyle is my favorite villager too; and he left my town when I took about a month off from the game :c
I painted a portrait of Kyle
Oh, man do I remember having Prince in my town. He was one of my favorites.
I had a perfect fruit, back then I was new, and didn't know what to do so I sold it 😥
I wish Nintendo made an update for ACNL where (like in happy home designer) where you can move around flowers, trees, public works projects etc.
Kyle no you left me for her why Kyle I thought we were best buddies how could you. #kylecomeback
+Thunda Vallejo Kyle left me later on as well #Wemissyoukyle
I never had Kyle #Idon'thavetheexperience
CHIEF LEFT ME!!! MY BEAUTIFUL WOLFIE LOVE... I'LL AVENGE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Pinepo KYLE I MISS HIM SO MU CHHCHHHGGEGDHHDHDHD
This is how I do my stuffs
1. Water all the flowers (Dig up fossils/gyroids along the way)
2. Donate fossils
3. Check gyroids to see what the look like
4. Sell already donated fossils/unwanted gyroids
5. Talk to villagers (unless it's a villager I don't want)
6. Go to island and fish or get medals
7. Idk I usually get bored at this point lmao
I found a perfect fruit on my first day
Yep, most towns seem to spawn with at least one perfect fruit tree. I think I was just getting unlucky here :P
I found a perfect pear on one of my first days, and so I planted it like a responsible mayor, and then a villager moved right on top of it before I could harvest it and plant/save some just in case :( it took awhile but I found it helpful to plant lots of pear trees and harvest all the pears, wait a few days until they grew back and then repeat until I found a perfect pear! Just keep harvesting and you'll find one! Or I think I have a perfect orange in my second villagers house if you'd like to have it, I have no use for it except to sell it and I don't really need money hahaha anyway if you want mine I guess I could email you my friend code or something?
Finnegan Raines i will take it lol i got perfect apples and thats all. wanna trade?
SimplyPressStart I have lots of perfect fruit that anyone can have :P
everyone gets a perfect fruit, in my first game i ate it ;-;
Our characters in ACNL look very similar! Brown hair in a bun...I have brown hair and glasses irl too! And I recently paid off my entire home loan, so that's one burden lifted! And I always make sure I'm the one who falls in the pitfalls so my neighbors don't!
OML I BARELY SAW YOUR VIDS AND I REALIZED MY TOWN IS ALSO CALLED ROSEWOOD
What a coincidence lol
pll
Did you get a perfect orange yet? If so I got a perfect orange in my mail from my characters mom, and I don't really have a use for it XD
I did actually :D
Mutant Archer Hi! O have perfect oranges. Message me if you want a basketful c-:
Sashimi Feast I want one if you still play/ have them
BURY ITTTTTT!!!!!
@@sashimifeast I know this is 3 years old but do you still have any oranges? 😂
I have almost every fruit but I don't have peaches, cherries, or oranges!
I have Cheif in my village! But I always find him outside....weird!
Believe in the Peeko I had him then I let he move... He won't leave my main street
Peeko In my expirence, he's a big night owl. I've had him in my city folk multiple times and he never comes out in the morning. I bet she must play her game eariler in the day rather than night.
Peeko same!
@@kristenwakefiej3137 In my mind, Chief is a typical night owl gamer lool
I like how he had the robo furniture. I thought the set was really cool
Your voice is really pleasant to listen on background as I prepare food
Wow.. I have a perfect apple orchard, it's FULL with perfect apples
My daily routine consists of surveying all the shops, then going to the island to catch some more Horned Elephants to pay off my rent
you passed so many pansies
Where?
And Jacobs ladder
@@luck3w0lf But why would she destroy those? D:
You should plant flowers everywhere you can except a small clearing for flower breeding ect... that way the fossils will only spawn there
What's your dream suite code? I really want to use those designs on the ground!
Some how, when I restarted my town, I got a perfect orange the day my character moved in. Pretty good luck for a person who has never gotten a perfect fruit before~
Very nice!
I have Chief in my town, too!
+WhiteBladeZero He seems like quite the popular villager!
WhiteBladeZero I LOVE CHEIF
Cobb is just amazing, he seems to be very underated for some reason... Though I find it funny we have 2 overlapping villagers, the other being Chief.
question,
is it possible to get golden roses if you have the beautiful ordinance? i know wilting is highly, highly unlikely to happen but i just wanted to know if it was possible without switching your ordinance.
+- lavender Nope, unfortunately! You can't have the beautiful town ordinance enacted because flowers just won't wilt ever.
SimplyPressStart ahh, thanks for informing me! :)
(You probably won’t see this because a lot of comments)😂😅Hi I love you town and I just want to say every time you see a perfect fruit plant it and keep making more perfect fruit it helps just keep planting and planting I don’t know if you Already know this so I’m sorry if I sound stupid😅 (I love you town and your Quality of your videos!)
Okay....I know I am late for the video but I am super jealous. I was recently stole from because the girl said "I don't have any flowers." Can somebody relate to some problem? You are very lucky that you don't get stole from almost every month about like 5 times? I am not trying to be pity if your thinking that but, Can somebody relate because I have been stole from for a very long time.
I'd just plain old not play with other people if people keep stealing from you :P
SimplyPressStart I only let my friend Haley come because she knows her right from wrong. But thanks for the recommendation! Your my new favorite youtuber!
Nikolina Cikara i stealed alot but no more and i would act all good and then i would leave and be rich some would find out and error
I think someone stole or ran through some of my pink lilies lol
My best friend ran through some pink roses I gave her once...
My heart was crushed.
I accidentally dug up my only perfect peach sapling 😭
This Is Basically What I Do every Day =3
MOLLY GIVE ME YOUR DAMN PICTURE
thats what i do everyday, explains itself, i pester Molly and Derwin all day.
I know this was filmed quiet some time ago, but I still think you should know:
The perfect fruit is a differently shaped fruit. Only one grows on a fruit tree from the beginning and only grows if you plant it. Hope it helped!
I eventually was gifted some by a friend I believe in this town, as you said it was quite a while ago now! I believe I placed my house down over that *one* tree in my village at the beginning and totally didn't realize!
Omg I love this so much
Glad you like it :3
I moved my pitfall seed to the beach where no one will step on it, and it never respawns anywhere else.
6:14 omg my phil was sick a month or two ago and i gave him medicine, he feels better, (TWO DAYS LATER) OMG HE'S SICK AGAIN
Just put fertilizer by one of you orange trees it increases the chances of a perfect fruit.
Sorry if you already knew that, but just in case somebody doesn't know!
How do you cover the "area" in front of re-tail, the transtation and so on to be the same "path" that you have used around town?
By the area, do you mean that one tile space in front of the door? Because that can't be covered, unfortunately. You can cover up the cobblestone in front of retail, the station, town hall, and around the plaza though! I hope that helped :)
3:04 Bob (the purple cat) gave me the same nickname- too bad he moved away just 2 days ago ;~; he lived there for over 2 years and was my best friend since Kyle moved away (Kyle is #1 boi)
Hey, I'm thinking about restarting and I'd like to play with some friends. If you are interested in playing then that would be fun but if not that's fine too. (Lol I'd just like help with the restart and u look good at the game and I love ur channel) just reply if interested. If not again it's okay :)

you are amazing
Awww thanks :P
I found a perfect fruit the first time I moved into my town-
Though this town isn’t my first, it’s like my 3rd one since the other two were total wrecks.
I have chief.
Always dig everything weed then water everything. I have never put paths down I tried once but it was rubbish haha yours looks amazing though. I want to organise my trees one day though! It's funny my town is some how divided by a river half way between and one side has no houses or residents!
When I see towns like this I feel like a lazy ass piece of shit
I loved Blathers dialogue ;w; My favourite chatterbox.
You can find every new game on the first day one perect fruit! ^^
I looked for it in this town when I started but I didn't see it XD Oh well, I have perfect oranges now :)
how do you get perfect fruits. do they just come to you or do you have to visit other towns??
DRoIDZeKA You could get them from a friend with the same town fruit. (Other town fruits won't grow as perfect fruit.)
Or they just grow on your normal town fruit trees. Randomly. 1 of the fruits on the tree can be perfect. And I think on the first day in your city there is always 1 perfect fruit.
LookalikeDemons which perfect fruit do you have??
DRoIDZeKA pear.
To get a perfect fruit, you have to find the tree with the perfect fruit on it when you first start your town. You must've sold it. I'm pretty sure that's the only way to get it.
*new sub!!!*
*clicked on video to compare daily routines*
~5 seconds in~
WE HAVE THE SAME TOWN NAME BRUH
~16 minutes later~
WE HAVE THE SAME DAILY ROUTINE WTFFFFF
Cookie is my nickname from Ozzie....
Teresa Brush I have the worst from Matilda it's Little E
I must say, what a beautiful town you got there, I have this game for a few months but I have really no clue how to make it much better...I’m taking inspiration from you!
Thank you and good luck with your town :)
Your vids are a lot more full of life without script.
Not saying that they aren't. ❤️
I have Chief in my town too! He’s my favorite, I’ll be heartbroken when he moves
I’m very late but I think there is always a perfect fruit on one of the native trees when you get a new town
Yeah I know, I think what happened is I put down my house over where that one tree with a perfect fruit was!
I’m glad to see you so active! And the first town I had I did the same thing without realizing.
If you want perfect Fruit, there are plently of good Subreddits and Discord Servers who are willing to trade for basic stuff for stuff you need. Like I've been without perfect Fruit for months now and within minutes of asking for trades in discord this guy offered me 3 Perfect Cherries (Native Fruit) for a basket of Peaches.
My daily route is usually checking my town status. Checking for hybrids. Shopping. Campsite/campground. Stuff like that
Oh wow, I'm so late... Very late.... Anyway mine is basically the same routine except after seven pm I go to the island and rage my ass of while trying to catch these stu- uh beautiful beetles
