On ACNL you can both visit someone else’s town and they can visit yours. But before you visit someone else’s town and vice versa, each of you need to add the other’s “friend code” on to your “Friend list”. You can’t visit each other’s town until you do this, and any time you want to visit a different persons town you must register that persons friend code. Before I explain further about visiting towns, let me show you how to access your friend list.
To access your friends list, you must go to your DS home page. This is the page that opens up when you switch on your DS. On the touch screen at the top, you will see different icons. The orange square icon with a face is your friend list. Here you can also find your own friend code that other people can add to their friends list
How to register a friend’s friend code
Before you invite someone to your town or you visit theirs you will need to register their friend code, as they will also need to register your on their friend list. Registering a code is very easy. If they don’t know their own friend code then show them this guide.
Visiting/inviting to a town is done through two ways: local or internet. Local just means connecting DS to DS with someone who is physically next to you. Internet means you can connect long distance, with anyone in the world. This is the option most people use.
To register a friend’s friend code, watch my video below. Once you have clicked on your friend list you will see on your touch screen “settings” and “register friend”. Click “register friend”, choose “internet” and then type in the other persons friend code (not your own).
If you have entered it correctly and your DS is connected to WIFI, it will register them to your friend list. And now you can invite them or visit this town! If you ever want to visit a different person’s town then you will have to repeat this process and add their friend code to your list. Like I said, it’s just like adding new people to a contact list on your phone.
