Hi everyone! I hope someone who is clearly smarter than me can help me figure something out.
So, I have PWP’s and Ordinances unlocked yet at the end of every startup Isabelle says she needs to explain my mayoral duties to me? I already have a second cobblestone bridge that I placed down as my first PWP yet the game thinks I haven’t had this conversation. Any solutions or help please??
It’s August, and in New Leaf that means every Sunday evening is the Fireworks show! I’d love to see if anyone has any fun or unique custom fireworks. Me… well I’ve used the default stag-beetle flag..
New town calls for an important question!
Hi all,
This is the first post i'm making here, but need a little pick me up because I am feeling so deflated at the moment. For context, I'm a PGCE Primary Education student at a UK University, following a first-class undergraduate course at the same university. I completed my undergraduate in July 2024, and I enrolled on the PGCE in September 2024.
To cut the long story short, I passed my first teaching placement (at my university, you need to complete two to be awarded QTS/qualified teacher status), which lead me up to February 2025. I was placed in a Year 1 class, with a phenomenal mentor, who supported me and guided me, ensuring that I would pass all my formal observations. I also passed two of the three assignments during this time.
When I enrolled on my second placement, feeling fairly confident having evidenced and met the Teachers' Standards on my first placement, I soon found that my mental health was deteriorating signficantly. My second school was a lengthy commute, around 90 minutes, which made balancing work and social life extremely difficult, especially as someone who really relies on that balance to feel sane. On top of this, my mentor was only what I could describe as evil, and loved holding the keys to my success. She was completely discouraging, and would shout at me in front of the Year 5 class that she taught. For instance, I offered to do her playground duty so she could catch up on marking during playtime, which she insisted. In response, I said "I really don't mind at all", and then she shouted "I can do it myself" at the top of her voice in front of all the children in the class. This left me feeling humiliated, and kids do cotton on to things, so they noticed the way that this made me feel. She would criticise my teaching methods, behaviour management and just general presence in the classroom, and in a formal weekly meeting, telling me that the job was quote on quote "shit, and is only going to get shitter". I only lasted 3 weeks there because I was not happy, it was causing me to feel upset and anxious, resulting in no sleep. So, I had to step away. I recorded 18 incidents that happened during my 3 weeks that I felt had an impact on my development as a student-teacher in the school to my university in the hopes that a formal meeting would occur. Yet, the university did nothing, there was no contact between the school or the university, despite me being told by the head teacher that there would be contact between the two parties. This teacher absolutely ruined my confidence as not only a student-teacher, but a person with genuine human feelings. I was left with the choice of deferring the year and coming back to complete the outstanding placement and assignment in a different setting. However, I filed a formal complaint to the chair of governors in the school before I left, disclosing all the incidents that happened whilst I was at the school. Ultimately, this triggered a formal meeting with the head teacher, and I broke down to her, stating that I have never felt so unhappy because of all the incidents that occurred when I was a teacher in the school, and I had nobody to tell whilst I was there because nobody talked to me. In the end, the teacher denied everything, only showing her fake "warm" text messages that she sent me, even though she had been vile and degrading in person, but I had no physical evidence of this. I also made a complaint about the university, and about the lack of support I received during my placement, because they did fuck all to help me and only cared about the students who were succeeding.
During the deferral, I volunteered at a school for 6 months, to get more experience working with children in a formal school setting. Skip forward to January 2026, when it was time for me to retake my placement, I had similar issues but perhaps, not as extreme. I was lucky enough to get a placement in the school I was volunteering in, but I soon found out that the teacher I was with just did not like me. It's weird, you know when you can just tell someone's whole demeanour is off with you? I got that every day with this teacher. Long story short, I didn't end up completing the placement as my mental health spiralled again, and much to everyone around me's disappointment, I had to stop working towards QTS and just get the PGCE aspect of the course, as I couldn't let this role take over my relationships with others. My parents were the least supportive of this decision they could have been, and quite frankly, I'm still angry at the way they responded to this decision, as they couldn't see that it was damaging my mental health, but in their eyes, I was being "lazy", but truthfully, I was so burnt out. Luckily, my friends took me out on the day I stopped working towards QTS, and we had a lovely evening. I also have an amazing partner who was in favour of this decision, as he could see how much I was being affected by this.
Fast forward to March 2026, I submitted my final assignment, which I failed due to not understanding the criteria properly, and also general mental health issues. Around the time that I failed, I was put on Sertraline (anti-depressants) to help combat the sleepless nights I was experiencing due to unemployment, financial difficulties, and just flashbacks to the PGCE experience as a whole. At the time i'm writing this, I still experience nightmares about the process. Anyway, I was given the opportunity to resubmit my assignment with a capped mark of 50%. I had a 10-12 day period where I had to work on a resubmission to be capped at 50%. I worked so hard on this piece of work, knowing that this was sort of the last thing I had going for me. Today, (15th June 2026), I recieved it back and saw that I had failed. The logistics of the assignment was a recorded presentation, so, a standard powerpoint with embedded audio clips explaining the content of the presentation such as text, images, graphs etc. My feedback was that the lecturers could not access the audio files and thus, it was given a fail, as the purpose of the assignment was to narrate the contents of the presentation orally. I am feeling so deflated as I put so much time and energy into this assignment, and even though I have been viewed as a disappointment by my family, this was the last opportunity I had to make them proud. Now, because I uploaded my presentation as a 'PDF' and not a powerpoint file, I have failed. I even went back on the deadline day just to ensure everything on the powerpoint was colour coordinated, and the visuals could be accessed.
I feel like such a disappointment, and now I'm going to graduate with just a level 6 after two years of work. A level 6 is amazing, but I already have one in my undergraduate first-class honours degree in Education Studies. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... I'm completely lost.
Thank you in advance :)

Hello everyone! I (22m) have been a huge fan of the murder mystery series back in 2017 and 2018 played by BigBstatz and many of his crew. I really want to find a group of people online who also like the way BigB played murder mystery, and proceed to play similar game modes, such as, murder mystery with said people. I just don't know how to find a good group of people online who know what they're doing and who would be willing to explore the possibility of playing these game modes, or similar game modes with me.
Basically, my question is how can I find these kinds of people online?
