Does time travel affect Perfect Town rating on Animal Crossing New Leaf

animal-crossing-new-leaf

As far as I'm concerned, my town is pretty perfect. I have everything needed but whenever I talk to Isabelle, she tells me that the citizens say that it's "riding the so-so rails" and it's so annoying because I see no faults and the only flaw she points out is "all the weeds and garbage".

I have scoped my town a hundred times for weeds and garbage and there is definitely none, but it never changes.

However, the other day it changed to something like "goodness gracious if it goes on like this, this town'll be great" or whatever. I was like "wow!" finally some recognition for all my hard work. Then, I time-traveled a little bit, (only a couple hours), then the next day it went back to "riding the so-so rails". There are no weeds or garbage!

Yes time travel can affect your perfect town status, but time travelling itself isn't exactly the problem.

Basically, just follow this guide.

To summarize, aside from weeds and garbage, some PWPs can also affect your town negatively. The drilling rig and the television screen don't help you, and garbage cans don't help either for some reason. Leaving items on the ground, like clothing and bells, count as garbage until you pick them up. Having more, if not the maximum, amount of villagers will also make your villagers happy

What public works do I need for the “perfect town”

I can't remember where I read it but some PWP are counted as being negative, Garbage Can and Oil Rig, Tower etc will stop you having a Perfect town. I think only certain decorative items count towards 'Perfect' rating, so try getting rid of your signs and stuff, build fountains and benches, not lamps and clocks etc, see if that works for you? (:

What are the greenery requirements for a perfect town rating

The things that contribute to nature requirements for a perfect town (as far as I know) are:

Between 110 and 200 trees
More than 75 flowers

Additionally, some public works projects affect the amount of greenery in your town (see below).

Via this FAQ by Liquefy on GameFAQs under "Citizen Satisfaction". Relevant parts copied/pasted below for convenience:

"Abundant nature" means:
1) appropriate number of trees (not counting shrubs (newly planted saplings and 
bamboo don't count); "dead" trees (perfect fruit trees that have lost their 
leaves) DO count) (-1 point for each less than 110) (-1 point for each above 
200)
2) many flowers (not counting wilting) (+1 point for 51 to 75) (+25 points if 
more than 75)
3) high Nature Points from built Public Works

Here are the Public Works that affect Nature Points:

   Greatly increase:
...Flower Clock - 87,000 Bells (triggered by "perfect" status)

   Largely increase:
...Flower Bed - 26,400 Bells (suggested by Normal female villager)

...Circle Topiary - 93,000 Bells (Weeding Day)
...Square Topiary - 93,000 Bells (Weeding Day)
