---ROUTE---

NOTE: If you don't get Nooks to upgrade (assuming you spent/sold the correct amount of bells), it means that he was holding his "one-day sale event" which is one of the 6 random special visitor trends that can occur every 2-7 days. He won't upgrade his store within 2 days of the event so for example if he holds it on November 19th, he won't upgrade on November 17th-November 21st, so you will have to time travel to November 23rd to get the upgrade.

This presents a problem in the route below since Sale Day is on November 29th and for that day, he won't upgrade his store within 2 days of that so on November 27th-28th he won't upgrade so keep that in mind. You could start in mid January since the reason for this route in particular is there's a 30% chance it snows during this time which is needed to get gyroids. Since it can't rain when you make a new character but it CAN snow, this is the better option to potenitally get a couple more gyroids. I do November in particular to get a couple extra autumn clothing and we already go to winter a good amount in this run.

(Now would be a good time to do the island break to put in food, then get the food out the oven in 20 mins while doing train dupe?)

***October 24th, 2028 8pm***

- K.K. Break if needed (DO "K.K. Blues" SINCE THAT CODE SUCKS TO ENTER!!!)
- BUY CANDY!!!

Set up train dupe:

- Put money in post office (should've done that already)
- Put in blank 2nd memory card (3rd technically if you're following this route)
- After Porter is finished saving travel data, reset
- Take out 2nd memory card and load 1st memory card

***Same Day***
- Gyroid Face
- Take out all the money and drop it on the ground (1.4 million)
- Codes afterward (drop everything)
- Save & Quit
- Reinsert 2nd memory card

***October 23rd, 2028 8pm***
- Load 1st memory card still
- You will arrive back in your town
- K.K. SONG IF BREAK NEEDED
- Catalog & Codes when you arrive

- Talk to Porter (still have 2nd memory card in)
- After Porter is done, reset
- Take out 2nd memory card and load 1st memory card

***Same Day***
- Gyroid Face
- Codes afterward (drop everything)
- Take out all the money and drop it on the ground (1.4 million)
- Save & Quit
- Reinsert 2nd memory card

***October 22nd, 2028 (September 22nd 2028 if no crickets yet), 8pm***
- Load 1st memory card still
- You will arrive back in your town
- Catalog & Codes when you arrive (+Villager Codes too)
- Take out all the money and drop it on the ground OVERTIME (1.4 million)
- In total there should be around 4 million bells on the ground
- SET UP "REAL" GOODS POWER BY TAKING APART DUPE SETUP AND PLACING DOWN 13 AUTUMN MEDALS!!! (placing down 6-7 might be better since you always get at least one rare furniture item from nooks everyday so it might balance it better in the long run using that logic)

IF YOU MISSED CRICKETS GO HERE -> ***September 22nd, 2028 (23rd on any non-leap year), 7pm***
***August 15th-30th, 2028 4:59pm***

- Catch the Jellyfish and Coelacanth if you missed it before (40% chance of rain)

***July 4th, 2028 7pm***

- Buy full set of pinwheels, balloons, or fans (skip 7:00pm July when you get all of them)

Also when you get 10 villagers, start sending villager codes 10 at a time, one for each villager all at once. It still takes the same amount of time to get 5 letters back but you cut down on post office trips a lot doing this so it's faster. BUT, once you get 15 villagers STOP doing 10 villager codes and stick to the first 5 in the list until someone you met moves out then go back to 10 codes. (because when you send a villager code to a villager then they move out you don't get the item)

***December 26th, 2027***

- Festive Flag and Candle at Shop

BREAKS YOU CAN DO:

- K.K. songs (ENABLE MUSIC BEFOREHAND OTHERWISE IT'S A SOFTLOCK!!!)
- Visit island for the first time to get Aloha shirts [and cabin wall/carpet BUT you need to bring your own wallpaper/carpet to get it; you cannot paste patterns in your island home] (about a minute to get to the island then a minute back)

CODE PRIORTY (after getting all REQUIRED_Codes)

- Autumn Clothing
- Summer Clothing
- All Season Clothing
- Winter Clothing
- Spring Clothing
- Nook Furniture (Wallpaper/Carpets are gotten when you have about 8-10 left in each category of those)
- Gyroids
- Anything Else

1) Summer

LOOP THESE UNTIL 2020

***December 25th***
***July 4th (7pm if Fireworks items needed; 4:59pm if not)***

Extra Bridge guide:

Talk to new villagers on July 4th then when you introduce yourself to the 15th villager, go one day forward (July 5th) and find Tortimer near the river (random if it's the top middle or bottom portion) then say yes for the 2nd option to build a new bridge then go another day forward (July 6th) to get the bridge

^ Keep in mind that there's a small chance your town's day is on July 5th so if that happens you'll have to go an extra day forward (it's like a 1/30 chance though lol)

Also this goes without saying but if you get rain the day you get the bridge go back to July 4th to get no rain followed by snow the next date for more gyroids

2) Spring

LOOP THIS UNTIL END OF 2002

***December 25th***
***April 20th***

3) Back and Forth

LOOP THESE TWO DATES FOR MORE GYROID SPAWNS

***December 30th (24th to get Festive Paper from Home), 2001 4:59pm***
***January 1st/2nd, 2002 4:59pm*** (1st to get New Year's Card, then 2nd afterward***

- BEFORE digging up all the gyroids, have these:

All 601 Furniture (minus any pads you may need/museum model)
All 67 Wallpaper
All 67 Carpet
All 247 Clothing
All 64 Items (minus any umbrellas you may need)
All but 1 Music (minus any music that's sitting in other player's mailboxes)
(ignore stationery since there's still more villager codes)

- Dig up all the gyroids (ignore redd/lottery items)
BEFORE GOING TO OTHER PLAYERS SEND 5 VILLAGER CODES ON MAIN

- Pay off the rest of the debts while entering codes for gyroids. Get the letters out of the mailboxes from earlier in the run and drop those items in the ground. DON'T send anymore villager codes [it's probably not worth] (~57-60 gyroids left on average since you get about 70 unqiues per run):

2nd Debt: 3x Nook Codes x 3 Players = 9
3rd Debt: 3x Nook Codes x 3 Players = 9
4th Debt: 3x Nook Codes x 3 Players = 9
5th Debt: 3x Nook Codes x 3 Players = 9

36 Total Nook Codes on other players; about 20-21 gyroids left to get on main

- On the final player on the final debt, donate the rest of the stuff for the museum to complete it (to get the museum model you need to do two date switches or one 4:59pm)
^ the reason we do this is because getting the museum model makes you miss a villager code and have to get it the next day (aka 1 delayed villager code)

- Any other items missing are likely umbrellas/pads or stationery (usually you get all the stationery from doing villager codes)

***Any Saturday at 8pm***
ENABLE MUSIC BEFOREHAND OTHERWISE IT'S A SOFTLOCK!!!

- Request the song "Two Days Ago" to K.K. (or whatever song is last in your list; or if you have them all just say no to a request to end the run)
- GG
