How to Get a Tan in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Animal Crossing is a great game, that is filled with fun things to do. You can get quite a lot out of a single day, or you could kick back and relax. Of course, there are some details you'll. Animal Crossing: New Leaf for 3DS Wiki Guide. Top Contributors: SmileyTR, Spamandtuna, Samuel Claiborn + more. Last Edited: 4 Nov 2016 4:40 pm. Edit (Classic) Edit (Beta). Are you playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf?Well, I have some bad news for you. There's a good chance you're doing at least one thing wrong. Not that it's your fault. There's so much to do in the game, and people get these preconceived notions in their heads of the 'right' and 'wrong' way to play. I've been an Animal Crossing fan for 19 years, so you can say things are pretty serious. New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch is, in my opinion, the best version of the game yet.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons may be out now, but before fans jumped in, some felt they had something very important to do. A duty, if you will, given their previous life as a mayor. Over the last week in March, many Animal Crossing: New Leaf fans are booting up the 3DS game one last time to see the sights, talk to their villagers, and say a final goodbye.
It's an emotional venture, but one that makes sense given how Animal Crossing works. Hardcore fans like to play every day, even setting in-game routines for things they like to do daily. And because the game keeps track of the date for big events and holidays, many fans end up playing in the long-term — weeks, months, sometimes even years.
That's a lot of time to spend with a virtual town and its inhabitants. Inevitably, players get attached to their worlds. This might explain why some folks can't just move on to a new island and forget about their old buddies. Instead, many are taking to social media to share a final New Leaf experience before moving on to the latest installment on Nintendo Switch.
On Twitter, @forestminish wrote a letter to some of her favorite New Leaf villagers to thank them for their time.

'So I finally made the conscious decision to move on,' Brown said.
Here are some of the best sendoffs on social media. Before you start tearing up, however, remember — some of these friends will make a return in New Horizons!

Don't be alarmed. I assure you everything is OK. The social distancing hasn't gotten to people's heads just yet. There are just a bunch of people on your Twitter timeline playing Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons that released over the weekend for Switch.
Confused as to what that is? Don't worry, we've got you covered here. This is everything you need to know about Animal Crossing.
So, what is Animal Crossing?
Animal Crossing is Nintendo's tentpole social simulator franchise that launched in 2001. Think about it like you'd think about the Sims — except it's much more chill and you can plant trees, fish and perform other work-related tasks for bells (cash).
It's latest title, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, is a Nintendo Switch exclusive and the franchise's first installment since 2012 when Animal Crossing: New Leaf dropped for the Nintendo 3DS — great game, btw.
So what do you do in animal crossing?
So, in this game you're transported to a deserted island owned by Nook Incorporated (more on that later) and your overall goal, ultimately, is to turn it into a utopia.
On day one you're given a tent and sent on missions to set the other islanders up. Eventually, you start to fish, collect fossils, and perform other tasks to make the island a habitable space.
What kind of animal are you?
You're not. At the jump you get to create your own human and then you're off on your deserted island experience with your new raccoon buddies, Timmy and Tommy. Wild, I know.
Wait, where are the animals?!? I want animals!
So you live on this island with a bunch of animals that have human-like traits. They walk, talk and interact with you as if they were people — just with animal heads.
More and more animals visit the island as the game progresses and it's your job to build it up and convince them that it's a nice place to live.
What is all this I'm seeing about raccoons?
DON'T TRUST ‘EM.
Animal Crossing New Leaf Things To Do It
Nook Inc. is a family-owned business run by Tom Nook (the dad raccoon) and his two kids Timmy and Tommy. Once you get to the island, Tom hooks you up with a tent that you eventually pay off.
After that they hook you up with a loan of a whopping 98,000 bells (the island's currency) to buy a house from Nook. You are eventually able to upgrade your house… for another 198,000 bells from Nook. And that's kind of how the game goes.
You're basically Nook's island servant…but you still have a ton of fun fishing and farming and junk so it's all good!
So should I play this game?
