A perfect town refers to when the player's town is in perfect condition. To get a perfect town, the town must have a specific amount of trees, flowers, and public work projects, in addition to minimizing trash and weeds in the town. In games before New Leaf the condition is based on an acre system that divides the town into acres (16x16 squares). However, in New Leaf this acre system is removed, instead relying only on the town as a whole.

To check a town's status in Animal Crossing and Animal Forest e+, the player must ask the Wishing Well. For Wild World and City Folk the player must speak to Pelly or Phyllis at the civic center in the town hall. Or to find out the town status in New Leaf the player must speak to Isabelle in the town hall.

In New Horizons, the perfect town is replaced by island evaluation, rewarding the player with a gold watering can for a five-star evaluation.

Animal Crossing[]

011

In Animal Crossing, if the player keeps a perfect town status achieved for 15 days, Farley will appear and award the player with a gold axe when they check the Wishing Well.

Requirements for a perfect town[]

The following conditions must be held for 15 days.[1]

  1. Overall garbage count must be less than 5, excluding the Dump area. Once garbage exceeds this amount, all garbage must be cleaned up.
  2. All acres must not have weeds outnumbering flowers by 5 or more.
  3. All acres except for exempt ones (Wishing Well, River Pool, Train Station, Player Houses, Museum) must have between 9-16 trees, inclusive.
  4. The player must score 17 or higher "perfect acre" points. One point is awarded for every two acres with no garbage, with weeds outnumbering flowers by 2 or fewer and with 9-11 trees. A full point is awarded for an acre with no garbage, weeds outnumbering flowers by 2 or fewer, and with 12-14 trees.
Wishing Well: "Everything is perfect! [town name] is a very liveable place!"

Wild World[]

In games prior to Wild World, the main purpose for a "perfect town" is to obtain a gold axe. After the main purpose has been completed the next step for getting a "perfect town" is to obtain a gold watering can. In Wild World and later games, the player must have a "perfect town" status for 15 days to obtain a gold watering can.

City Folk[]

In City Folk, a windmill or lighthouse can help the town status. To get one, the player must first donate 200,000 Bells to the town fund to get a bridge, then donate 600,000 Bells to get a fountain, and lastly, 1,000,000 Bells to get a windmill. If there are weeds present, pluck them.

The “perfect” rating -- "Fantastic! [town name] is in great shape right now! Yep, it's pretty sweeeeet!”

New Leaf[]

03

In New Leaf, the player (as mayor) can get a Town Hall renovation and a Flower Clock if the "perfect town" status is achieved, even if it's just for one day. Enacting the Beautiful Town ordinance makes it much easier to reach and maintain a perfect town since flowers won't wilt and fewer weeds will spawn.

Requirements for a perfect town[]

In total, the town must contain between 110 and 200 trees, of any type. There must also be at least 75 flowers of any type. At least 10 public works projects are needed, but the Dream Suite, Fortune Shop, Museum upgrade, Town Hall designs, and Train Station designs don't count. There must be no more than 10 weeds of any type, no more than 10 items on the ground, including fruit and lost items, and there must be no trash on the ground or buried under the ground.

The survey also says the citizens feel <town name> is the best town ever! They never want to leave! Let's both do our best to ensure that <town name> is always a clean, happy place to live!
