There's a way to solve the friend problem. If you have a WiFi connection in your house (you could go to a McDonalds because selected one have WiFi hotspots) you can invite a friend that you know from the internet (like a friend you know on Balto Source) into your AC town.

A bit on that later...



Hold it! Most of this is a big lie.
The whole "plant X number of trees in every acre" thing is a general step in getting you town a "perfect" status. Keeping you town in perfect status for a week or two will reward you with a golden watering can... nothing more, I believe. There's no "super town."

Also, the games has no end. You'll see the credits when you have K. K. Slider play a song but that isn't an "end" to the game.

Oh, and you'll never get a better position in your town other than a citizen, like all the other animal neighbors. Thus being said, you can't, and won't, become the mayor.

Now to WiFi.

Well, to start, use this link: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/connect.jsp

Any questions? Ask me. ^^

WFC = WiFi Connection.

No. WiFi with any devise, the DS in this case, will only work within the ranges of a Hotspot. Selected locations have free access to WiFi Hotspots, one of them being McDonald's. Most people prefer to play at home and created their own Hotspot in their homes by use of a Wireless Router or a WiFi USB connector like Nintendo's WiFi USB Connector* and WiFi Max*.


Nintendo's WiFi USB Connector*


WiFi Max*

*You'll need a computer with Windows XP or better.

I use the Nintendo WiFi USB connector on my computer.

You're just wasting money if you do. No, just one or the other, not both.



For all WiFi games on the DS and Wii, you get your Friend Code when you connect to WFC for the first time with that particular game. The server will recognize your DS ID code and pair it up with a Friend Code which your game saves.

Now, to in order to play with a friend, you and your friend need to trade Friend Codes.
How can you do that if you don't know your own Friend Code?
Easy, look for it in the game. This can be tricky because the location of where you can check your own friend and register a friend's Friend Code is different between games. I'll list where these location are on the WiFi games I have.

Once you know your code, give it to your friend who should register it. Have your friend give you his code and register it into your game. Once that's done, you're ready to play! With the exception of Animal Crossing Wild World who's WiFi gaming is "Friends Only," set to search for friends, wait a bit, and play!

Obviously, you'll need to be in rang of a WiFi Hotspot to access any type of WiFi play.

1) Buy paper for mail, one for each of your neighbors.

2) Attach a native fruit to each of them.

3) Write to your neighbors. Don't forget to mention "fruit" in the letter and send it through the Town Hall.

4) Wait for replies. Sometimes, you neighbors will send you a new fruit that you can plant.


Sure, I can trade you friend codes. Just PM whenever you do but I'll be gone until the 15th of July.
