Right out the bat, Animal Crossing bombards new villagers on the Getaway Package with a plethora of weighty decisions which seem to have major implications for the urban topography of the entire island. Where to build this shop, where to place this bridge, where to plonk an entire bloody museum. It can be a little stressful!

But it needn't be; eventually, you'll unlock the ability to perform major civil engineering work, allowing you to move residents around whether they like it or not. And you'll probably want to, after you access a set of terraforming tools which let you hewn the landscape according to your preference.

Oh - and the game actually does mention this - but you can always change your appearance so long as you have a vanity or mirror in your house. And you'll want to as soon as you download those cool new hairstyles!
