Indeed.
Even less happens than in Chapter 2.
Your son gets bigger, your house gets bigger, Hugh and Lumina get bigger.
That's it.
That really is it.
How painfully dissapointing. I can't be bothered to do this anymore, so ....
I slept for a year. And everything's fine - all my trees (including all 9 3rd-generation ones) are full size, nothing has died, nothing has exploded. One of my cows got ill in Autumn - so I gave it some medicene.
Feed the chickens every now and again, check nothing else is sick. And you can sleep and sleep with no problems.
I'll shoot through the rest of Chapter 3 tonight or tomorrow, bring you up to date on 4 when I'm there. Then perhaps play the game properly - although I've pretty much done everything there is to do already, so meh.

What toilet scene?
You mean when you go in the toilet and you hear the noise? Hilarious.
And the nosies from daryl and the tramp dude is fantastic...
Tries to hard with the snowman thing though...
Plenty of secrets to uncover with what people give you.
Nice game... gets boring... go back to it... stop... go back to it...
You'll get bored after the first year and a half but you'll return to the ol' game.

Yes. Everyone goes grey, except for the kids who just grow up.
> Do you make friends?
If you count videogame characters as friends, yes. When you give people enough stuff they like, they'll give you some item back.
> Thus, do your friends die?
The only people to die are *spoilers* that old dear at the end of Year 1, and *major spoilers* you, at the very end of the game.
> Will your wife threaten to leave you if you neglect her?
You can't really neglect her. And unless you have that boring ragamuffin Celia as your girl, they go out to the bar of an evening anyway.

It's pretty crampt.

Er.. if you bought this game for humour you'd be very much dissapointed.
Kind of.
Dunno.
I wanted to know this too.
No, thats what really dissapointed me about this game.
It doesn't really try to be funny...but it is sometimes.
So do people grow old in this game?
Do you make friends?
Thus, do your friends die?
Will your wife threaten to leave you if you neglect her?
How big is the game world - any room for exploration?
Is it funny? The best thing about Animal Crossing was its sense of humour.

I done it for the first time yesterday and I shall do it again...
