From Villager to Mayor

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, you play as a villager who is moving into a new town. However, when you arrive, you are mistaken as the mayor of your new town and must work as the mayor to keep the town running smoothly and successfully. It doesn't help that you start off living in a tent. Luckily, you can work hard and upgrade. You can also customize your wardrobe and character. Working as the mayor, you can collect money from the townsfolk and visiting friends and use it to build things like bridges, fountains, and police stations. You can also pass laws and force the townsfolk to do things like wake up earlier.
