Does rain affect plants

You are punished for changing the game time (no matter how much, it seems), but not the system time. Here's what happens:

If you change the time on your 3DS system, Animal Crossing seems to simply think that's the time it is now. Trees grow, events change, the only "bad" things that happen would have happened with the flow of time. Even going back in time via this method seems to work okay, even when going to a day previously played.

If you change the game time, using the option at the main menu of Animal Crossing, you will randomly trip for a while after changing the clock. The duration of tripping seems to last longer than the current play session, possibly the full day? But it eventually goes away. If, however, you were to change the game time this way before every play session you would trip randomly every single session, which is highly frustrating.

Also note that going backwards in time will spoil any turnips you had, since the game knows you went backwards, while it doesn't know you went forwards if you go by the system clock.

tl;dr: Change your 3DS's system time to time travel, do not mess with the in-game clock regularly or will will randomly trip.

Each town should have about 16x16 inner linear squares for each Acre (attributed by previous games) and still by game factors in New Leaf. Usually a perfect town should consist of about 13-14 range of trees and about 3-5 flowers near a Villagers home (changes moods about gardening and perfecting a town on their behalf) and scattered 3-4 flowers for the acre.

Selecting the ordnance to BEAUTIFY 'NEW LEAF TOWN' PROJECT allows the Villagers to forcefully inherit the ability to water flowers and keep the balance of the Town. Not sure how this ordnance affects the Police Station items.

This game by far has the most acres that affect the game's Perfection. If ever completed, the Player will receive a Golden Watering Can that makes wilted flowers into GOLD FLOWERS used for presentation, faster hybrid breeding and nonwilting purposes. This ordnance also allows the flowers to not wilt when pondering into a time warp/timeturner/time travel effect. {Sometimes a player may use a differecnt 3DS and forget the time is mismatched and finds wilts in a town.}

It is more on over about the TYPE of town constructed/chosen and is based on the area that is balanced around you. Certain town maps have less beach front than others. This is recognized and the remarks from Isabelle on Villager views are fitted to the location of the town. More over, certain areas are patch work or bare stumped areas that have no trees or constructions; these are what Villagers worry on most.

Each sector has the ability to house more trees than any other game (for the exception of Animal Crossing 64/Gamecube's ability to cross plant trees side-by-side diagonally).

Villagers are more worried/concentrated/focused on their given constructions that are asked consequentially in a face-to-face conversation.

So far I have planted many trees all throughout town and the complaint remains "Not enough in one AREA", but I have not found any criteria listing them as acres.

The focus of the player's game is based on planting bamboos, making a planting center, and beatifying with many post around without the use of trees blocking their visibility as well.

"Perfect"/"Delicious" Gold Fruit are available by either making the uprighting of a town or by planting those had. It increases game points but as these trees are fragile be sure to plant each one found to keep ranking positive position points from Villagers.

Also, the use of grass is still wears but does not really affect perfection and is luckily slower than the previous ACCF game.

Suggestions: I do the same as well, as flowers scattered are hard to keep track of and the amount of trees in an area are easier to find exotic fruit apart from natives. Just construct from the Mayor's seat and do things that help the town.
