Animal Crossing Community: AC:WW Buildings Guide

Compiled by: Sparx77

Welcome to my AC:WW buildings guide!
This guide will give you all the info you need to know about the buildings and workers in your town.
Note: This is for animal crossing wild world, and has different content to game cube guides.
To find a building guide quickly hold Ctrl and press F to bring up the find menu, then type in the name of the building and press enter to find it!

Enough of the intro though and onto the guide:

Your house:
At first your house will be quite small, the roof color depends on the color you pick for you DS layout. The location depends on where you say you like living to Kapp'n at the beginning, for example if you say you like living near the museum, you will live near the museum!
Inside you have your small downstairs where you can put furniture, and then an upstairs, where you can lie on your bed and save. After you start the game, and are introduced to your house,
Tom Nook will give you your first mortgage, every time you pay off a mortgage your house will be upgraded, until you reach the full 'mansion' style, where you wont have to pay any more mortgages! Your house can be totally customized with wallpapers, carpets and furniture. Every room except the 'attic' can be furnished!

Tom Nook's store:
At first Tom Nooks store will be called 'Nook's cranny' and will only have a few items in everyday, but as you spend more money he will upgrade.
Here is a list of how much you need to spend to get the next upgrade:
25000 bells- Nook 'n' go
Total of 65000 bells- Nook way
Total of 240000 bells and have a friend visit your town- Nookingtons
When a shop upgrades it's interior expands, and more items are available at one time. When you have Nookingtons, paint is sold, so you can change the color of your roof at any time, 1 of 16 colors will be available everyday. Nookingtons also includes a hair salon, where you can get your hair style and color changed for 3000 bells.
For a hair styles guide visit:
THIS LINK!
The first three stores are only one floor, but Nookingtons has two, on the first floor tools, paper, medicine and plants can be bought and on the second paint, furniture and wallpaper/carpets can be bought. On the top floor you will be 'served' by Tommy and Timmy Nook.
The entrance to the hair salon 'shampoodle' is at the back of the first floor. If you get one of all kind of haircut you may then get a style from the other gender, e.g. if you are a boy you can get a girls haircut.
Nook also has a points system, for every item you buy you gain points, the more expensive the item, the more points that are gained, When you earn a certain amount of points you earn a store discount and you receive a model of a nook store.
Here is a list of the points needed to get a model and a discount:
300 points- Member level, Nook's cranny model, no discount.
5000 points- Silver member, Nook 'n' go model, 5% discount.
10000 points- Gold member, Nookway model, 10% discount
20000 points- Platinum member, Nookingtons model, 20% discount.
You can check your points balance by going up to the points machine and pressing 'A' or tapping it, then selecting balance inquiry.
If you talk to any of the Nooks (that includes Tommy and Timmy) you get a list of services,
if you want to get some money select 'I want to sell' then using the stylus drag the items you want to sell from your inventory to the blue area, then click confirm to here the offer. If you want to sell select 'we have a deal' then you will receive the money and lose the items. If you decide you don’t want to sell you can select quit on the inventory screen, or 'no, thanks' after the offer. The second option is your catalog; select it to get a list of all the items you have ever bought/owned. Along the left side you have the groups, the leaf is furniture, the second is wallpaper, the third is carpets, the top is clothes, the umbrella is your umbrellas, the hat is accessories and hats, the paper is paper, the 'wooden' looking block are your nebuloids etc (dug up from ground)(not orderable) and the skull are fossils (dug up from ground)(not orderable)
In the middle of your screen is the list of items, drag down the green circle to look up and down at the list, and select any item you want to order, it will display the price of the item, and a picture of it on the top screen. Click the trolley icon to buy the item, or select quit to exit the catalog. If you order an item it will arrive in approximately a day attached to a letter off Tom Nook. The last option is turnip prices, select it to see how much Tom will buy turnips for that day, this price will randomly rise and fall, so sell them at a good time! Turnips can be bought off Joan every Sunday before 12PM. So try and sell them for more than you bought them!
(Turnip prices do not affect the selling price of a red turnip; the price of a red turnip depends on its size)

Able-sisters shop:
This shop will always be on the right side of Nook’s shop, it sells three different tops, 1 umbrella and two hats/accessories everyday. This shop cannot be upgraded and is always run by Mabel and Sable.
When you enter the shop there will be a block in front of you with 8 top designs, the designs here may possible be worn by residents in your town, and you can change then with your own designs. When you talk to Mabel (the dark blue hedgehog) you get the option to design a pattern, sell her some clothes or hats/accessories, or a ‘you tell me’ option. If you want to design it will cost you 350 bells, and you have to put it in one of your 8 pattern slots. After using the stylus to design you can name the pattern. Selling to Mabel works the same was as with Nook, but you can only sell her clothing and accessories. If you select ‘you tell me’ she will explain about designing etc.
Along the back row will be a raised shelve where the hats/accessories will be sold, and a long lower row that will show three shirts a day and one umbrella a day. If you talk to the sowing hedgehog (Sable) you will find she just says a short message. But talk to her everyday for a while and you will become friendly with her. She will start to have real conversations with you. If you want to display one of your patterns in the pattern ‘block’ face the one you want/want to erase and press ‘A’ or tap the clothes. You will get the option to display, ‘I want it’, trade or just looking. If you select display you can display your pattern but the previous one will be deleted, if a pattern is on display residents in your town might start wearing it! If you select ‘I want it’ you will get that pattern, but the pattern in the place you select will be deleted from your inventory to be replaced with it. If you select ‘I want to trade’ you can swap the pattern from the block with a pattern in your inventory, this way neither is deleted. The pattern in the block will be placed in your inventory, and the inventory pattern will be placed in the block. If you are ‘just looking’ nothing will happen.
Redd’s tent:
Redd sells some items that aren’t available at Nook’s shop. He will always have three items in stock when he visits, 2 furniture items and a painting. Without talking to Lyle Redd will appear on a random day of the week. If Lyle visits he will stand outside your house, and temporarily follow you as you walk around. Talk to him and he will ask you what day you would like Redd to visit. When Redd comes for the first time you will not be able to get in because you don’t receive a password off him in advance, so talk around your residents and eventually one of them will tell you the password, go to his tent, which is always situated outside the town hall, and enter the password. (All passwords are case sensitive!) Once in you will have to pay a one time fee of 3000 bells to become his new ‘cousin’ before he will let you buy anything. Once you become part of his ‘family’ you will receive a letter with his password in advance every time he is coming. (The password changes every time.) Redd also charges higher prices than Nook would for his items!
The ‘Redd only items’ that can only be bought from him give you an HRA score boost and cannot be bought from Nook (unless you order them after buying them!)
The paintings he sells can also be donated to the museum gallery, but completing the gallery will be a challenge because most of the time the paintings are FAKE! This means they are pretty much worthless, as Nook only buys them for 10 bells, to get 100 bells for a fake painting you will have to buy the insurance of Lyle. To determine if a painting is fake or not you will have to give it to Blathers or check your catalog. If the painting is added to the catalog it means it is real!

Town hall:
You will probably visit the town hall quite a lot, weather it’s to mail a letter or pay off your mortgage! During the day you will find Pelly working their, but Phyliss takes over the night shift. You will always find the bulletin board outside on the left of the town hall, this is where you can write something or you can read about up-coming town events or other random things like the ‘talking to myself’ articles! On the inside there is the recycle bin to the right, any items residents no longer want are normally found here, you can take anything out of it or discard your own junk like tires you may have fished out of the stream/sea. On the floor at the front you can see two mats, one green with a house on and a red one with a letter on. Stand on one of them to be served for that particular part. The green mat area represents your civic center. Talk to Pelly/Phyliss to get the option menu. If you select ‘the environment’ you will receive a comment that reflects how tidy your town is. To get perfect status you will need plenty of trees and flowers, you will find Phyliss gives you a better idea of what you need to do to improve your town as she is more ‘rude’ about it. If you select ‘town tunes’ from the menu you can change the town tune, which is heard every time you talk to someone or when the town bell chimes on the hour. If you want to ‘donate’ to Boondox, an apparently poor town you can select donate from the menu, if you donate a certain amount you will receive letters from Boondox and sometimes a feather accessory for your hair.
Feather guide:
Blue Feather Donate 200,000 Bells
Green Feather Donate 10,000 Bells
Purple Feather Donate 1,100,000 Bells
Rainbow Feather Donate 6,400,000 Bells...(ouch)
Red Feather Donate 800,000 Bells
White Feather Donate 1,400,000 Bells
Yellow Feather Donate 500,000 Bells
If you want to move a character from one game card to another you can select ‘im moving’ then make sure the other game card is set in immigration mode which is accessible from the main game menu. If you move you cannot take any of your items or music and your wi fi settings are erased!

Now onto the red mat! This acts as the town post office; from here you can save any letters you want to permanently keep by selecting ‘save a letter’ and using the stylus to drag them from your inventory to the save slots, or you can mail any letters you have written by selecting ‘mail a letter’ and dragging them into the send slots and selecting confirm. You can also select ‘deposit’ to pay off some of your mortgage, this will probably one of your main uses in the town hall, when the pay screen opens you can select how much you wish to pay, it also displays how much you have left. This option disappears once all of your mortgages are paid. Finally you can select ‘access account’ to save or withdraw any bells you have; this becomes really useful when you have too much money as you can earn prizes by saving up a total of bells.
Savings item guide:
Box of Tissues Save 1,000,000 bells.
Pelly's Pic Save 100,000,000 bells.
Phyllis's Pic Save 500,000,000 bells.
Piggy Bank Save 10,000,000 bells.
Town Hall Model Save 999,999,999 bells.
Obviously you cannot withdraw any bells if they aren’t any saved, so you will have to select save to add them to your account, this Is the same as depositing bells to Nook, select how much you want to save and select confirm!

Town Gate:
Inside the town gate you will find Booker and Copper, Booker, the dog on the left is in charge of anything town related, to find out if anyone special is in town select ‘what’s new?’ also to get free items from the lost and found select something lost to get the item screen of lost items. Drag any you want into your inventory to claim them! You can also change the design on the flag outside the town gate, when you select ‘change flag’ you will get the option to delete the current pattern and use a different one by choosing ‘use this’ or swap the patterns by choosing ‘swap it!’ (This is similar to the patterns in the Ables shop) or you can cancel by choosing forget it!
If you select where am I, you will get the option to hear an explanation of the town flag, lost items or when someone special is in your town.
The dog on the left is Copper; he handles anything to do with wi fi or visiting another town. To issue yourself a friend code you need wi fi and then select friend code, again, to hear an explanation of everything select where am I! If you wish to open your gates to invite someone select ‘invite guests’ you can then select weather or not you want them to visit through DS to DS or wi fi, or if you want to visit someone select ‘I wanna go out’ then choose weather you want to visit through DS or wi fi. To do anything wi fi related you need a wi fi connector and a friend code!

Museum:
There are many rooms to the museum, in then main entrance you will see Blathers, talk to him and select ‘donate’ to donate any bugs, fish, paintings or fossils. If you want a fossil checked without donating it select check a fossil and give it to him, he will identify it and return it. Once identified Nook will pay money for it, if its not identified its worth nothing! If you want to donate something that you are unsure has already been donated select Exhibits to get a quick list of everything in the museum, switch between bugs, fossils, fish and paintings by tapping the icons at the bottom of the list, when you are done select quit to get a short announcement from Blathers on how good the collection is and to exit that screen. If you wish to hear the long story about the museum choose where am I? From his main menu. From the main lobby you will see six doors to go through (not including the exit at the back.)
The bottom right door leads to the aquarium where you can see all the donated fish, the room in front of the aquarium is the fossil collection where you can view all the dinosaur skeletons and donated pre-historic items. At the top is the insect room, where all the bugs and insects are displayed, if you have donated a cockroach chase after it and walk over it to get a message saying ‘please do not kill it’ (pointless fact I thought id tell you)
Off to the left you can view the painting gallery, which will remain uncompleted for quite a while!
Up the stairs you can talk to Celeste about your town’s observatory. Talk to her to get a rather small menu. Select where am I for a description, or ‘you’re cute’ to get an angry reply of ‘just look through the telescope.’
Constellations are the joined groups of starts you see at night on the top screen of your DS. If people visit your town when it is night at your town they will be able to see them aswel!
Stand in front of the telescope and tap it or press ‘A’ to get some more options from Celeste, to create or modify a constellation select ‘constellations,’ to view the constellations made or to check when they are visible select ‘stargazing.’
If you want to erase one of the constellations made select erasing!
Go back down the stairs into the main lobby and then down the stairs in the bottom left corner to go down to ‘the roost.’ This is the café, sit on the high seat to get the option of buying a cup of coffee for 200 bells. Like Sable from the Able sisters shop, at first Brewster (the pigeon that works at the roost) will be unsure of you and not be very conversational, buy a cup of coffee every day for a while and eventually he will ask you if you like milk in your coffee and be more talkative to you. Occasionally on the high seat next to the wall you will find Rover the cat or Phyliss from the town hall sitting there. To talk to them stand behind them and tap them, Rover will be quite polite, but Phyliss tends to tell you to leave her alone.
On Saturdays come to the roost after 8 o’clock to find Totakeke (K.K. Slider,) talk to him to request a song, or hear a random one, after he plays and the credits finish he will give you the song free, go to your home and insert it into your tape deck/stereo to have the song playing in your house!

Well, that’s the end of my guide, I hope you found it useful in some way!
