Town's people not working...

[galaxyflier]

I'm sorry, I just have to rant. It makes me so angry that my character is working like crazy and goes to get things from people's shops and they aren't there. No notice, they simply are not there. It makes a wasted work day for me. They ae supposed to be open, but they are just wandering around. I watched Clint go to the saloon early while I was waiting to pick up a tool. I was furious. The towns people are lazy, except for Shane, the storekeeper, and Robin. Thanks for letting me rant a bit.

Rant noticed. Now my turn to rant.

So you suppose NPCs must always motionless like other games that do nothing but stay same spot waiting for you to interact ? This isnt not "About-ME-simulation" but "About-farming-LIFE-simulation", and in life, no one waits for you, they have schedules, and you either learn about theirs, or you can uninstall and stop ranting about stupid thing,

They have opening times and they DO WORK on these days. So stop crying and open the Wiki.

I have to say I agree with OP. A good portion of the villagers are always complaining about how little money they have but they never seem to work for more than half the day! Then you have Pierre over here who keeps his shop open for twelve hours but spends most of the time standing by the shelves right next to the cash register so you can't even buy anything from him even though he's literally in the same freaking room.

Ja, especially Marnie is often abandoning her shop during day time...
...but in that specific case I blame Mayor Lewis.

His STORE open time is 9AM- 4.30PM. His HOUSE open time is 9AM - 8PM. Stop complaining because you didnt read the note outside his store. There is NO SHOP open 12 hours a day. If you cant make it within the open time then your schedule is the problem, not NPCs.

Also, most female NPCs, including Marnie + Robin have gym class every Tuesday at Pierre's, and if you cant notice it within few in-game months then your OBSERVATION skill is the problem.

Pierre is notorious for closing right as I get to his shop, lol. But aside from that, the only person I hated for this was Clint. If you fix the community center, on Fridays (I think?) Clint leaves his job to go stand in the basement of the CC, all by himself, staring at the walls.

He's attending the boiler room... Jesus Christ! Use your damn imagination will you?!

On the map the work time is from x to y "most days"

Ain't country life beautiful

[The Y'All Of Us]

It's a pretty small community of people working less than full time. You though, you're an entrepeneur from the big city looking to make something for yourself and willing to work nonstop for that goal-

Everyone else is just chilling and living their lives.

I mean, there's a reason the phrase "nine-to-fiver" exists to describe the general working class.

[galaxyflier]

All I was saying is when the shop is supposed to be open you'd think they would be there to tend to business. I realize they have their NPC lives, but work is work and if you say nine to five then be there nine to five. Clint was going to the Saloon early while I had been waiting all afternoon for my tool. The Community Center isn't even finished yet. There wasn't even a note saying how long he'd be gone or if he closed for the day. It was a waste of time for my character who had a lot to get accomplished that day, which didn't happen. I think a lot of the townsfolk are just lazy. It's a wonder they can afford to eat. Sorry, I was just letting loose a bit.

[Ilucie]

EVERY shop has its own schedule. They ARE WORKING in the times they are supposed to. If you are to lazy/stupid/whatever to look up their working times on the Wiki, then YOU are to blame, not the game.

[galaxyflier]

My goodness but you are rude. I know what times they are supposed to be working. If my post bothers you don't read it. I wasn't trying to be nasty, just letting off steam. The Wiki isn't a perfect thing of knowledge either.

[Ilucie]

It is correct when it comes to working times. So basically you're QQing cause of your own mistakes and that IS annoying.
