Animal Crossing GameCube Adding New Character?

Question

I have created a new character and saved the game (GameCube version). I would like to add an additional character to my existing town. I can create the new character but it won't let me save it after I'm in the game. When I try to save the game (using the little fire hydrant thing) in front of my house it says,
"Welcome Home (name)"
"I am currently processing data for (name)"
"Good luck with your part time job"
But it does not give you any options to exit the game. After re-booting the game I see my first character that was created but the 2nd one never shows up.

How do I fix this? Do I need 2 memory cards to play 2 characters? It says that up to 4 characters can be played from 1 card but I can't create and save more than 1. HELP!

Answer 1

its because you hve to keep working for the racoon untill the thing in front of the door will let you save so just keep completing the chores the racoon gives you doesnt take that long he doesn't make you do that much.

Answer 2

i think you just have to complete tom nook's assignments first then you can save using your other guy.
