Snowfolk

A snowman (ゆきだるま, Yukidaruma) is a special visitor that must be built. During the winter season, two or three snowballs appear randomly throughout town daily. The snowballs are usually in different locations around the town. They have to be the correct size to please the created snowman; the head should be roughly three quarters as big as the larger snowball. It is unnecessary for the snowballs to be huge; they need to be just properly proportioned.

Snowballs grow when pushed on the snow and shrink over other terrain. Initially, snowballs are difficult to push, but once they get to a certain size they become more controllable. If a snowball falls off a cliff, ledge, rams into a hillside, gets hit by a shovel or axe, falls into a hole, or gets dropped into the river, ocean, or pond, it will be lost. A new snowball appears when players enter and leave a building.

Players create the snowman by pushing two snowballs together. The snowman will state if the job was perfect, good, average, or poor. The snowman's personality is determined by how it is made. For example, a poor job leads to the snowman's saying bad things about its life such as, "I just want to make one light shine before I melt away, oh woe is me." A perfect snowman rewards the played a snowman-themed item from the Snowman series in the mail after the snowman melts. Additionally, the snowman also asks the player to build it a snow-lady. This unaffects receiving furniture.

The snowman will remain a few days and shrinks each day until it disappears.

In, if a snowman is built anywhere on the pavement in front of the Town Gate, even out of the bus's path, the player will not be able to go to the city because the bus cannot stop.

In, four different types of Snowmen can be built. From largest to smallest, they are Snowman, Snowboy, Snowmam, and Snowtyke. If built perfectly, they will shower the player will compliments and may offer special requests. Snowman plays Bingo with the player and if the player is lucky, a Bingo is scored and the player wins a prize. Snowmam asks the player to catch snowflakes with a net, and trading in five snowflakes yields a random Ice themed furniture. A perfect Snowboy mails the player Snowman themed furniture. Snowtyke yearns to be reunited with his family, and building the other perfect versions will make him mail a special furniture.
