I hope it is ok to start another thread on this. The previous poster is having windows setup issues and I did not want to confuse his issues.
I have been using this for several days now with my M3DSS. It has been working great. Until this morning when I went to add a few golden items for a friend that had been seeded and had to restart. What's that they say about no good deed...ack.
NOW...Every time I go to start the character (not the game). The character hangs when the town is being prepared. It keeps spinning it's wheels and I am going out of my mind. I do not know what I have done. I have tried other backup saves and the same thing happens.
I have read of people having problems (this exact one...) with firmware ver 1.02 I am running 1.03 the latest as far as I know...
Thank you in advance for any clues to this mystery anyone may have!
They?re pretty much the worst kind of terrorism as of yet. If someone seeds a building, just buy a seed on wifi to replace it. But if your gate gets seeded, you?re screwed. You can?t go on wifi because your gate is blocked. You can?t even transfer items to a friend?s town if you?re planning to rebuild. Learn more about not being a victim of seeders in section 4.
They?re worth a lot of money on the online board. Wait? Didn?t I list that as a pro? Yes, I did, for people who want major profit quickly. For non-hackers, they raise the prices of nearly everything else on the online board, making it harder to get what you want for a decent price.
Not many people open their gates anymore because of seeders. Most turnip topics are gone. You have to be more careful about who you let into your town.
If placed incorrectly, it can have major consequences. For example, if you put a Nook?s Cranny seed next to your mansion, then it expands, your house and Nook?s crash together. NOT GOOD. This can cause your game not to load up. You have to be VERY CAREFUL where you place your seeds. Try to do it away from other trees and signs to avoid any damage to your game.
Seeds can cause lag in the game if used too often.
If you use too many seeds, your game might not even boot up. I?ve seen examples where people had seeds in their towns for months, and then had their game not boot up one day. Your game could die at any time as a result of seeds. You?re playing with fire when you use them.
but the backup saves should still work...? strange...
you could try:
other people's saves, put the backup [from pc] on your simply again, all i can think of...

Ah Xbuster, thank you for coming to my rescue again...
I upgraded to the v1.04 beta firmware and it did not seem to change matters...but...I went back even further in my backup saves to one where I had not yet edited the river and buildings and it is now fixed.
The edited file had been working for days but I think I used the Advanced World Editor to place the gold items and it somehow corrupted the way the river was loading. I say this because A. After you use advance leave it alone, as I usually do or it is sure to crash like that... B. The saves that started working again (like 9 days worth were trashed) had been before river edit. Still kind of mysterious but that's my theory.
I redid the town (with tweaks) and then did not use the advanced placement editor again and it seems to be working. Backup backup backup. Right now I am pulling another save from my Original Cart to mess with. So I have two backed up towns. One on the cart and one on the M3.
Seeds do tons of damage. But all of them can be fixed with the with advanced seed codes and a map editor. But you do need a way to pull the save file if it is to be done on an Original Cart. It is tricky. (like dipstar...lolz) but it works, i have been crashing towns on purpose just to check because of such horror stories. Even the gate house can be fixed. Hurrah! and written back to a card. (All hail REIN)

So many people I know have been fubared buy bad seeds that it has become my mission to fix them. It is a good challenge. More fun than the game actually. Thank AiboSHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the advanced editor or it would all be lost for fixing...and I would be relegated to slanging fish fruit and shells. While I am at it lets thank M3 too or I would have no saves to seed and save and develop restore plans for.
