Weed

Weeds in the resemble small clumps of grass that change color according to the seasons. Three (two in and ) new weeds appear in the player's town each day. They do not necessarily have to be pulled up, but will affect the town's environment and forgetting to pull out the weeds will result in the appearance of a rafflesia, a large, red flower which attracts flies and further lowering the enviroment rating. Weeds are also contaminants as they will lower the chance of flowers breeding. To pull a weed, the player must press the Y button when near it.

If the player does not play for a long time, the town will be overrun with weeds. In and, Wisp can pull all weeds in town after the player completes his task. And in, Leif eventually offers a weed-pulling service (enacting a certain ordinance also prevents many weeds from appearing). But in, the player(s) in town will have to pull all weeds by themselves.

Another form of weed is the clover, which appears as four clover plants which appear two by two in one grid. However, clovers may result in a four-leaf clover when pulled out from the ground. A four-leaf clover is an item which can be worn in the player's hair or placed in the player's house as a clover stuck to the page of a book.
