Become friends with Sable:
Whenever you enter the Able Sisters store and try to talk to Sable (the hedgehog sitting behind the sewing machine in the back left corner), she usually just ignores you, or tries to tell you talk to her sister because she's busy. To develop a "friendship" with Sable, you must talk to her at least once every day for a number of days. Eventually, she will start having conversations with you, and even thank you for stopping by.

Become friends with Brewster:
Once a day you can buy coffee at the cafe'. At first he just gives you coffe and says "Thanks...". But If you buy some from him coffee every day he will start asking you questions, treating you like a friend, asking you if he can put special ingrediants in your coffee, and thanking you for coming by.

On a perfect clear night look into the sky and wait for a shooting star. When you see one tap your character with the stylus. The next day you will get a special gift.

Grow Golden Roses:
Water dying black roses with the golden watering can, and they will return as golden roses the next day.

Jacob's Ladder:
To obtain the flower name Jacob's Ladder you must first have a "perfect town." Once Pelly or Phyllis have told you that your town is perfect then Jacob's Ladders wll start appearing in random locations, one Jacob's Ladder dail. If you town stops being perfect then you will no longer recieve anymore Jacob's Ladders.

4-Leaf Clover:
If you town becomes covered in weeds there will also be clvoer patches. If you are lucky, you will pull up a four leaf clover. This is pretty rare however, most patches you dig up will not contain the clover. The clover can then be used as an accessory in you character's hair, or if you place it in your house it will act as a bookmark in a book.

Retro Animal Crossing Bootleg:
To get the Retro Animal Crossing note to listen to at your house, tell K.K. Slider this request.

Forest Life

This song is the full version of the gamecube AC. If you don't have the game, but you do have AC for the Gamecube, and are just surfing the site, Then to hear "Forest Life" on the Gamecube, just turn the game on and open the disc cover as soon as you see the train monkey.

How to change the background of your inventory:
1) Grab a shirt or pattern.
2) Drag it to the lower left corner.
3) It'll be over an invisible space, drop it.

Hold 10 extra items:
This is a really easy trick. Just buy 10 letters, leave them blank, than pull an item onto it so that it becomes a present. Tada, 10 extra slots.

How To Get a Perfect Town Rating:
First, divide your town into 16 x 16 acre squares, similar to the acres in Animal Crossing for Gamecube. You can use patterns on the ground to mark the acres. Next, make sure every acre has 12-14 trees that aren't touching eachother. Then put 3 flowers in every acre and you should have a perfect rating. And of course make sure there are no weeds or trash in your town.

Store more items:
Speak to Pelly in the town hall (or Phyllis, if it's at night) and choose "Save a Letter". You can save up to 75 letters, and you can attach gifts/items to these letters so you can keep 75 items in the post office, plus the 90 items in the dressers, and you can do this with all 4 characters, for maximum item storage.

Getting furniture from your neighbors houses:
If an animal in your town has furniture in his or her house that you want, send them seashells, unwanted furniture, or fossils to them in the mail. They'll usually put these gifts in their house, displacing whatever was there before. Check the recycle bin at your Town Hall and the item you wanted from their house may be in there.

Know when a balloon present comes:
You can't know the EXACT time when a balloon comes, but they have to come when the time is xx:x4, the fourth minute. When a balloon comes, you will hear the wind wooshing.

Instantly Cure Sick Villagers:
When one of your villagers is sick, you'll have to give him/her some Medicine every day for about a week to cure him/her, but an easier way to cure him/her is to get on WiFi or multiplayer, then the villager will be immediately cured when someone visits your town.

First Roof Color:
Your first house's roof color can be customized, believe it or not. Simply change your DS's menu color from the DS setup screen and your house will have that same roof color. NOTE: this only works with the color you have set when you first move into a house.

Free Fishing Rod from Tortime:
If you go up and talk to Tortimer at the Fishing Tourney and you don't have a fishing rod with you, he should give you his. It's just a normal fishing rod, but hey, it's free.

Make animals stay in their houses:
To make animals stay in their houses, simply go to the gate, and ask Copper to open the gates for DS to DS visitors. After the gates are open, your animals will stay in their houses. This makes deliverys VERY easy if you are having trouble finding certain animals, or if you are trying to look at a certain animal's house and they don't stay inside much.

Find out tomorrows weather:
If you have a TV, make sure you pay attention when the weather show is on. It'll tell you, in pictures, how the weather will be the next day. It'll either show a picture with the sun for a clear day, or clouds with snowflakes for snow, or rain etc. This is important if you want to catch a Coelacanth.

Turnips that never spoil:
First get a table and place it in your house. Now take any item preferred item is fishing pole or shovel and set it down in front of the table, now stand directly on that item and try to place your turnips on the ground. Instead of the turnips falling on the ground they go onto the table. This prevents any spoiling as opposed to setting them on the ground.

Make animals stay:
to make animals in youre town stay, you must keep talking to them to persuade them to stay. Also if you dont like someone in youre town invite a friend to youre town and make them talk. NOTE - if you are willing to keep them dont let youre friends talk to them.
