Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Guides and Information Masterpost

So I figured I’d make a masterpost for easy access of information. This’ll be updated regularly and linked on the sidebar to allow for easy access. If you have a question but are afraid to ask me just check out this post and it’ll hopefully answer your questions - if not drop me an ask;
A few things before we get started, if you’re going to use this information; please source/credit me. It takes up a lot of my spare time writing up these guides (when I could be doing other things, such as studying or working) - so the least you could do is give me the slightest bit of credit for all the hard work I am putting in to help others. I’ll even post it below so you have no reason not to do it (all you have to do is copy and paste);

Second thing, not everything is linked, those that aren’t linked simply mean they’ll be posted soon, and like I said previously, this will be updated every time I post a worthwhile piece of information.
Hopefully this is much easier for everyone to get information. Any suggestions, feel free to ask me!
NB: The bandwidth issue should be resolved, so all images should be working fine. However if any images are broken, drop me a message and I’ll get onto it.
