Go fishing, collect shells or watch fireworks with friends? Build a
snowman, exchange presents with family or decorate your house for the
holidays? Take a trip to the city, go on a shopping spree or visit
friends from all over the globe? In Animal Crossing: City Folk,
life moves at a relaxed pace, but the world brims with endless
possibilities.

There’s always something new to do. In the living, breathing world of Animal
Crossing: City Folk, days and seasons pass in real time, so
there’s always something to discover. Catch fireflies in the summer,
go trick-or-treating on Halloween or hunt for eggs on Bunny Day. If
you’re in the mood for something a little faster paced, take a bus to
a new urban city area that’s unique to Animal Crossing: City Folk.
There you can catch a show at the theater or check out the sales at
Gracie’s boutique. But if you don’t show your face back home for too
long, your neighbors will miss you.

Up to four people from your household can live and work together to
build the perfect town. Design clothes and patterns, write letters and
post messages on the bulletin board for each other, or invite up to
three friends to visit your town.

Get to know your neighbors. The heart of Animal Crossing: City Folk
is building relationships with the animals in your town as well as
with other players. Befriend your animal neighbors by exchanging
letters, gifts and favors. Animals can also move from town to town,
bringing their memories and stories from their old towns with them.
And since animals are notoriously loose-lipped, they spill all the
juicy details.

Express your personal style. Customize your town, your house and
yourself by collecting bugs, fish, fossils, art, furniture, clothes
and accessories. You can also go to the salon in the city to change
your hairstyle and get a Mii makeover. Plus, if you design clothes in
the tailor’s shop, animals will wear them and maybe even bring them to
other towns.
