I had a 5 star island before I realized I could get wallpaper and floors from Nook's.

I used to carry around an extra ladder because I thought they could break too. I didn't want to get stuck anywhere. I did that for over a month until I realized it would not break.

Oh ok, I remember my embarrassing thing. I didn't know you could plant fruits for fruit trees, so before I was able to play online, I would buy fruit from nooks, go to a mystery island, and dig up the fruit trees.

Most embarrassing thing I did, no one but me seen, thankfully. I got carried away in construction mode, built myself into a box in a way I got trapped. >.< And was only a few days into the game, didn't know how to get out. YouTube saved me, lol..

So funny! Sammy7, I did the same thing with the ladder. Tiemi, thank you for the tip! That's so helpful.

The custom design patterns are great to lay on the ground....I have shells on my beach and moss on my rocks. Come by and see sometime!
