I forgot, do villagers approach you when they request something or do you have to initiate it and talk to them repeatedly? It's been about a week since I got a request.
The "alert" sound and visual effect come up and they start hunting you down. What I try is to run around them before starting to talk to them, making sure that they see me in case they have some sort of dialog that needs saying.
Took a while before I realised you were talking about the villagers and not the cube.
Is there anything that needs to be done before they start requesting public works, though? All of mine just ask for deliveries or bugs/fish/fruit.
I should add that already-donated Fireflies show up on the museum list of exhibits as "lantern flies." That threw me off a bit when I was double-checking what I needed.
You know there's actually a bug called "lantern fly," yes?
EDIT: Firefly is listed further down the list, near Fruit Beetle and Wharf Roach.
Yeah, I cocked that up. My bad. I missed "firefly" a while back when going through the exhibit list, and got confused when Blathers said it had already been donated.
XBL, PSN, and NNID: "ConnConnor" for all three.

Plus the comment when I ask about town satisfaction is that they feel that the town is not developed enough and needs more public works. Bullshit. I've been building street lamps every day. Suggest something more interesting stupid animal people.
So where are you guys at on bridges? Right now I've got two at opposing ends of the river and I'm wondering if it's worthwhile putting a third in between.
According to the NintendoNerds' Animal Crossing calendar, I've only missed two events.
Sad that they took out certain holidays, but I read that there are finer details to the events they've kept.
And so far, The only thing I could miss out on (but won't because I'm awesome) is the Fireflies. The next furthest bug for capture is the centipede (Jan-Feb).
Spider crab is the furthest away in avavilability (March-April), and the loach (March-May) for the fish.
This is all according to the AC wikia page, so I could be wildly wrong.
Elin, I JUST this second got the minimalist wardrobe, though I'm still missing the floor! I'd love to hold the bed for my catalog if you want to swap? I can go there or you can come here, if you want to, whatever is fine!
Yeah, two bridges are enough, at least for my town layout.
Speaking of which, my gates are still open! Come on over for some fishing in the rain, free pears and shopping (Kicks opened today and Re-Tail is stocked with some interesting stuff).

I got access to a Brick Bridge that I was seriously considering before I gained access to the Cube Sculpture.
I'm new here, but I am trying to find someone with a decent turnip price. I invested 630k bells this past Sunday and my town has been on a decreasing pattern since then. What are your Re-Tails buying turnips for? And would you be okay allowing me to visit?

I am not building a third on the off chance that animals won't be able to suggest bridges when you can't build more. You know...how can they say "hey you should build a brick bridge!" when you're all full?!
I will build a third when they have asked for every type of bridge.

I don't think anyone would mind if you dropped by. Make sure to add yourself to the Google document in the OP.
Ghee is open while I am at work, so I can farm /played and town visits.
Turnips 147, ReTail stocked. I just got the train station upgrade, so folks can stop by and take a gander at what a perty train station looks like. Sadly, my town has no giant revolving black cube. But I has a stonehenge!
Also, my town is no longer in danger of sparking an Amber Alert.
Edit: My museum has a silver something for sale. Pretty sure it was a shovel. Also, all fruit is ripe and available for harvesting.

I am curious about this. Since bridges can be torn down, I doubt that having the maximum number of bridges would prevent access to other versions. I thought the opposite would be the case: If you build all available bridge models your townsfolk may consider you a bridge enthusiast, and so suggest the other bridge models.
The problem with my theory is that I never built a yellow bench, but was told to build a modern bench.
One guide said that upgrades were related to an animal's personality, so jock-type neighbors can give you X, cutsey-type can give you Y, etc. It's likely the case that upgrade access is based on your friendship level with the particular neighbor. I'll try to dig up that guide...

This is useful, thanks! I've gotten very few suggestions for things, and most have been street signs and stuff. I don't want a yield sign, thanks Penelope I lucked out and Tom gave me the police station suggestion really early. It was the second day he moved to town, too, so I wonder how much friendship matters?

Edit* whoops, tried to fix my last post and double posted, sorry!
On that list, I believe the Cube Scuplture is "Revolving Art," as they match in price and vague description. But I don't see the Archway Sculpture I also have built anywhere.
Just found this bit of information about Neighbor pictures from this guide.
"Villager pictures return in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The player receives them in similar ways to Animal Crossing: Wild World, but instead in their mail box or on April Fool's Day if they can pick the real villager from the fake."
I guess that means we no longer get pictures from an animal running up to us and handing it over, but rather all pictures come through the mail? That is good to know. In WW I had a few villagers try to give me their picture, but my inventory was full.
By the way, I can find no indication that Brewster stores your gyroids in this game as in the previous one.
In fact I found a guy at GFAQs saying they took it out.
There are a lot of guides purporting to say everything you'd ever need to know about Brewster and none of them mention any gyroid storage.
However we have quite a few methods for storage now by comparison - 4 museum rooms, and bigger houses than in City Folk. Still unfortunate for people who want to save everything that isn't orderable.
On that note? Museum Exhibits are a freaking awesome new feature to this game. 40K bells for 4 full sized rooms of storage? Yes, please! I always wanted the museum to accept gyroids, and now I can kinda get that by dedicating a few rooms to roid storage.
Plus the museum items, and unique floors, look very cool. I like that this game lets us customize so much of our town, and provides so much storage space. I did not expect the museum exhibits to be so cheap and spacious.
If you haven't unlocked them yet? Get your ass in gear.

Man, that is going to bug me... God damn it. I expect that my evening shall be spent counting items and inventory spots.
Okay. I'll be opening Antaria. Come say hi!
Turnips are at 171. We have an axe.
Also, I have a giant list of unrequited best friends because my normal hours are weird so I usually only visit people when they are sleeping / get visited while I'm sleeping.
LOVE ME!
Also I have varia suit pants extra if anyone wants to trade something.

Man, that is going to bug me... God damn it. I expect that my evening shall be spent counting items and inventory spots.
Personally I count having 3 extra homes that can each be fully expanded. I know some people won't want to do this but the storage potential is amazing.
8x8 rooms * 6 rooms per house * 4 houses = 1536 floor spaces for storage + (4 museum rooms * 8x8) = 1792 total
That doesn't factor in wall items or possible item limits if you fill your room with complex stuff.
But there are a ton of unorderable things. There are also a ton that don't even show up in your catalog, mainly things customizable with the alpaca. Items with different colors or textures or given an ore makeover aren't counted. Music boxes aren't counted (but they are awesome!), miniature dinosaur models aren't counted either.
I have not mathed it out, but is there enough storage in the game to save everything that cannot be ordered?
There's no way. Even with 9 rooms of space and 180 storage slots it seems horribly unlikely.
EDIT: My Turnips have finally stopped plummeting. From a lowest-I-can-ever-recall 44 this morning Reese has gone up to 126 this afternoon. I'm going to wait and see what tomorrow brings since I missed last night's insanity.

A lot of flim-flam hooey and hokum seems to be floating around the internets masquerading as New Leaf facts at the moment.
Edit: For depth of information, this one from a GameFAQs guide looks legit:
1) Receive it directly from the villager as a reward for fulfilling a request:
a) retrieving a rare insect
b) obtaining six signatures from another town for a petition
c) curing illness with Medicine
d) return an otoshimono or "thing inadvertently dropped and lost"
2) Receive it in a letter from the villager after they move out of town.
a) "friendship" must be high
3) April Fool's Day
a) correctly identify imposter

I love League of Legends, but seriously...screw you, Teemo.
You CAN demolish your original bridge to make a new third bridge.

There is a limit to 48 items per room.
