Animal Crossing City Folk Diary Day 1

I eagerly awaited my play time Animal Crossing: City Folk, mostly due to the fact I loved the previous versions.  Instead of start a town however, I opted to let my husband start character and name it.  He transferred over his character from Wild World and started in. 

Yes, he’s wearing a Tuxedo strangely.

After dinner was made and our plates were emptied, I managed to wrangle the controller from his hands and create NintyGal.  She does seem to stare off into the distance with wide eyes, but overall her look was appropriate for me.  Nintendo should think of another solution to showing folks around the town for the sake of veteran players.  Going through the motions of being Nook’s slave was mind numbingly boring due to the restrictions on my actions.When the jobs were over I was more than happy to become his indentured servant if it meant I had my freedom.

I made Power Ranger outfits because I’m a nerd. Oh and yes we changed the time so I could make money that night.

So to start out and make some Bells, I did my normal combing of the coastline for shells to sell to Nook.  When I had the small sum needed for a fishing pole I was off to smell the salt water once again.  Looking around, I noticed a lack of fish swimming around in the ocean.  The population seemed to dwindle the longer I stuck around.  With a fairly good haul I returned to Nook to seek a reward.  This cycle continued for quite awhile during the first day with a bit of apple gathering thrown in the mix for good measure.  With all the gathering and selling I did, I was able to pay off the first of many debts I’d owe to Nook.
