Have a Lovely Town on Animal Crossing City Folk

Always wanted a Gorgeous animal crossing town? Then read on! (For animal crossing City Folk users only)

Steps

Clearing the Town

1. Start working on the selection of your house, by plucking all the weeds, clearing any unwanted furniture or pitfall seeds laying around e.t.c until your selection is clear. A selection is the little pieces of the town that are connected by a bridge or a slope. First you must know where your house is and start working on the selection your house is in.
2. Get your axe (If not, then buy one from Tom Nooks store, he'll tell you how to use it if you don't know how) and chop down all the trees in your selection. All of them. Until your selection is also clear from trees. (It's probably best to time travel and buy more than one as the axes break easily, but be careful of the weeds!)
3. Get a Golden Shovel in Animal Crossing Wild World (again buy one from Get Non Native Fruit in Animal Crossing Wild World Without Wi Fi store if you don't have one, and he'll tell you how to use it.) and dig up those messy tree stumps!
4. If you haven't already, refill those holes made by digging up the tree stumps, by pressing the A button on the Wii remote (Or by pressing the Z button on the nunchuck.) or by just simply tapping the hole.
5. Your tree(s) should Survive a Sleepover Gone Bad, do the same to the rest of the trees in your selection if you haven't already done so.
6. Enjoy your Theme Your Animal Crossing Wild World Town! But keep reading if you want Add Decorations to a Teen Girl's Room! (More greenery e.t.c)

The Flower Path

1. Read the steps above so that you know what you're doing.
2. Find a nice blank space (In your house selection) to make your flower path, you could make the path go from the beach to your house, from a bridge to the town hall or a path just going nowhere! Your ideas of a path! Plan where you want your flower path to be, you don't necessarily need to write/draw it down, but you can if you wish.
3. Find a pattern to be your path, by clicking the little pencil icon at the bottom of the screen. Then click on the one you want and click on display on floor.
4. Make a path! Make it where you want the path to go (e.g from the back to your house, from your house to tom nooks store, anywhere you like, you can even make it split to more than two places if you want, It'll take longer though!)
5. Abort this step if the path doesn't lead to anywhere. When you've finished your trail, and it leads to a wall, instead of making it lead right into a wall, leave a gap for something to go there, like trees, or unwanted free furniture for everyone to take, or maybe even shells, but you don't have to.
6. Finish the path. Once you've finished your planned path, it should look something like this:
7. Get some flowers. Now we need flowers! (Why else? It wouldn't be called a flower path if it has no flowers!) First go all around your town (Not just your selection) and pick all the flowers you see (Even the ones around peoples houses)!
   • Chopping down all the trees in your selection must of left some remains, if so, you can either pick it all up, or, if you have no space in your pockets, save them till later!
8. Now go to the beginning of your path and plant all the flowers you found around the path and work your way upwards.
   • Have you collected all the flowers in town? If so, good! Now to go and buy all the flowers at Tom Nooks' store, but don't buy any trees yet.
9. Now again, from where you just left off, plant all the flowers in you pockets around the path.
10. Make sure when you plant the flowers, don't plant them behind houses where you can't see them! It'll be a waste of bells.
11. That's all your flowers? Well if you want something to do each time you go on animal crossing, I suggest that you add all the flowers you can find/buy each day and water the dying ones each day! It'll be a flower collection!
    • What if you don't want to wait each day for the flowers? No problem, Time travelers! Read on!
12. Save your game and return to the title screen,
13. Click A on the Wii remote and as soon as you talk to the cat, click on other things... then Set date/time then set the date to 1 day forwards or backwards you don't want millions of weeds again, right? Keep the time the same if you wish.
14. Now click on your character and start the game again!
15. Run to Tom Nook's store! buy all the flowers and pick any flowers you bump into! Also, pick any weeds you bump into as well!
16. Plant them around your path working upwards.
17. Is that not enough? Then save the game back to the title screen again, and if you set it one day forwards send it 1 day backwards this time, and if you sent it one day backwards, send it one day forwards this time.
18. Still not enough flowers? Then keep repeating step 15-20 until you have planted enough flowers.
19. Congrats. You have now made a flower path! You may now take away the pattern to make it an invisible path or edit the path, or just keep it as it is! It's all yours now! Don't forget to water the dying flowers everyday! And if some have died, replace them with more flowers at Tom Nooks or around the town!

Orchards/woods

You are wondering why you chopped down all the trees? Well I'll tell you why, because we're making an orchard! And I can tell you just how to make an orchard out of all different kinds of fruits and trees!

1. Okay, for different fruits you'll need to go to Tom Nook and buy a load of papers.
2. Now write a letter to anyone you like (But not another person you're sharing the animal crossing with), make sure you're sending it to the computerized characters, write anything, just a simple 'hello' will do (They think of it as beautiful poetry anyway), and then attach your towns fruits to them.
3. Now go to the town hall and talk to Pelly (Or whoever is behind the counter) and send the letter. Keep on doing it, keep sending letters with your town fruit until you letter holder is full.
   • It's most likely They'll reply with a bit of fruit from another town (e.g your towns fruit is an orange and they may send you back an apple, or a pear e.t.c) but sometimes some people reply with nothing for a gift. Once your completely satisfied with all the fruit, go to the next step.
4. Halt! Do not let your character eat the foreign fruit! Instead we're making an orchard! So get your shovel and dig holes all around your selection. (Try not to dig up your flower path though!) and once you've dug as many holes as you have foreign fruit, go near one of the holes then go in your pockets, click on the desired fruit and click on bury, your character should have then buried the selected fruit and now it should have turned into a sapling/shoot.
5. Once it has, water the sapling/shoot with your watering can everyday (Be careful not to drown the shoot) and if it has withered, dig it up and repeat step 1-7.
6. Now repeat steps 6-7 to every hole until you've filled them all up.
7. Make sure to water them all every day.
8. If you want more trees start steps 1-9 over and over until your satisfied, and some trees may not grow
9. Don't be scared to make path ways or put a small orchard at the end of your flower path or behind your house! Be creative! And most of all have fun!

Gardens

You want a garden at the back/front of your house? then you might want to read the steps above before you begin.

1. Okay first of all decide where you want your garden to go, at the front? at the back? or all around? It's your choice what you do and where you put it!
2. when you have decided, like the flower path instructions, buy all the flowers and find a load of flowers as much as you can but do not take the flowers from your flower path!
3. Now outline where you garden shall be
4. Go to able sisters and create a 3 patterns, 1 grass, 1 pavement stones, 1 mud.
5. Go back inside your garden and again, like the flower path, fill the whole outlined space with your grass pattern.
6. Now, around the edges of inside the garden, remove the grass pattern around the edges and replace it with the mud pattern.
7. again, inside your outlined garden remove the grass patterns (Not all of them) to make a blank line going through the middle and put the paving stones inside the blank line.

Take Care Using Grass

Grass in City Folk deteriorates faster than in other games.

1. Be careful with running. The grass deteriorates if you run a lot. You will start to see the grass turning into little star shapes, so be careful by not doing too much running. When the grass deterioration is complete, there is going to be mud all over the place.
2. Protect with patterns. Patterns do not prevent grass deterioration but will protect grass a little.
3. Wait for regrowth. Grass will regrow completely in 6 months. You can time travel if you want.
   • Grass grows 3 times faster around trees and 5 times faster around flowers.
4. Take care not to save a lot. This can accelerate the deterioration of grass.
