30 times of me waking up Gulliver's messy self and looking for all his stupid parts is tooooooooo much for a golden shovel that will still break on me anyway. Less tedium would be great

Also, I'm convinced that the villagers are programmed to be as unphotogenic as possible and that's why they run away from me or photobomb me whenever I'm trying to get a cute picture.

I wish i could make my ponds round and small and still have a fish in it. i want to get rid of the pond i have by my museum. It takes up way too much space and I am at a loss where to put it aside from by my entrance (temporarily) or on a cliff near my farm area. I plan on fully decorating both areas (probably) if more furniture comes out that i like and form ideas around.

Just finished doing Gulliver's task today. I keep thinking 'this has to be the time' and it never is...'so this has to finally be the time. Right...right!?'

I remember when I was terraforming my first design for my museum. Three tier, waterfalls, a moat, and smallish pond, but fish never spawned. I eventually tore it down because it took way too much space up for one building.


So this is really annoying to me. I don't go shopping in Able's all that often. Sometimes I go in the changing room when I'm in the terraform/hat mode. I like that they kick you out of it and change you back to your regular clothes instead of making you have to go through a bunch of extra steps to disable it and then go back to where you were.

So why couldn't they also do this for the diving suit? Why did they go the extra mile for one feature and not bother with another? Sometimes I just don't even bother manually removing the suit, because I usually don't find anything I want anyway, and just take my business to Nooklings lol.

Same with the wand outfits. The reason I stopped using them after a day was because I couldn't do things without having to remove it first and it was way too annoying. Plus I couldn't even figure out how to remove it until I looked it up lol.

Okay after about a year of playing can I just say I am already getting fed up of getting duplicate DIYS from villagers whenever they are crafting? I swear its so annoying when you're trying to talk to them and yet they keep forcing you to have DIYS you have already learned. Remember how back when you were playing the first time you were given the choice if you wanted to learn the DIY or not? Well apparently that is no longer a thing because the option to say no is no longer there. So its like you have no other choice but to accept it!

This is the same issue when your "best friend" villagers forces a gift on you whenever they run up to you.. I mean this seems like an Animal Crossing Logic because villagers always seem to give you stuff when you didn't ask for it and yet the game doesn't give you option to say no. Like I am not against the idea of returning gifts which is a cool thing, but there is a fine line between saying "no" to something you don't want, but then its like you have no other choice but to accept it!

I find this annoying too. I feel like we should be given the choice whether or not to accept a DIY recipe we already know. I will admit, it is a bit understandable for the game to force (for lack of better words) DIY recipes we DON'T already know onto us, since the game wants us to get all of them, and the Nook Miles for getting DIY recipes. But ones we ALREADY know should be a choice. I know you can sell them or just throw them away, but that doesn't do much good.

I would really love to hold DIY sales (which would require bulk DIY recipes) once in a while, but this would mean having to trash my island or my house with them, since we still cannot store them for whatever reason. -_-

The option is still there but only if you don’t know the DIY. I only know because on my second island Lolly was crafting something I didn’t know (forget which one) and I was given the option of not learning it. It really should be the other way around. You shouldn’t have to receive a DIY you already know unless you want to.

I fully agree. I don't even talk to my crafting villagers anymore. There's too much access dialogue that's just repeats and then I have this DIY I have to sell. My guess is that they made it so we get the DIY forced is to put emphasis on trading with others online but it's just annoying at this point.

Yeah it's really a bad decision. I mentioned it a few times, and it really should be just forced on you when you don't know the DIY, but not when you already know it. Half the times they're crafting common crap and no one is going to want it. So it's easier just to sell/discard them.

Oh wow, that sounds really annoying. I never really used the wands, so I didn't know that. Again, they should just be able to default you back to what you were previously wearing. And if you're not wearing anything, you just go nakey in the changing room.

I know that whenever Mabel would tell me I can't go in the room because of my swimsuit, I'd just walk out. There's so many little things they could tweak and they'd be such good QoL changes.

This is what it really feels like. And they're not doing a good job at being transparent with it. For a game that encourages going online and or restricts a lot of things to online only, they really don't have much of a multiplayer scene going on.

Mole crickets. They were tolerable in older games, but for some reason that absolutely awful sound they make seemed to get even more grating in New Leaf and New Horizons and I can't stand it at all! The second the sound starts fading in, my volume goes all the way down.

 

[Corrie]

This isn't so much NH but NL too: I miss the animalese sounds from WW. I think they sounded cuter.

 

[oak]

The cute set in yellow is ruined by the hot pink accents. The blue version of the cute set was kept all blue and not tainted by the hot pink, so why did they do this to the yellow version? Even pale pink would have been better then the almost red hot pink.

 

[Dunquixote]

i hate the cicadas. they are so irritating and whatever bug is making this very distinct groaning sound. i’m decorating right now and it is driving me crazy.

 

[-Blue-]

Would it happen to be a mole cricket? I didn't know cicadas were already out. I haven't been playing the game much early enough to catch them. Unless you choose southern hemisphere.

I really want to write some villagers letters, but oh my god, they make it so tedious in this game. It wasn't broken. There wasn't any reason to 'fix' it.

oh yeah that might be it. Thanks! I was thinking it wasn’t since I know one of the crickets had a softer sound which i don’t mind; I think that one is the bell cricket.

I do too! when i wanted to get villagers to leave in NL, even though I knew it wouldn’t do anything, I sent them some funny letters and kinda mean

 

[Bluebellie]

I dont really want to do May Day, but I’m forcing myself right now. I don’t want to get stuck with Rovers Pic next year, if there is a better item.

 

[Kate86]

We can put stuff outside and we have volleyballs, but they didn’t bring back the volleyball net.

Also everything that everyone has already said about Gulliver. (I had him again today… will the Golden Shovel tomorrow be mine?)

Edit:

Spoiler: Yaaaaas Golden Shovel!!!

 

[Marshmallows]

Why are the fish models so tiny while the bug ones are huge? I know Flick makes both, but the blatent favoritism is ridiculous when a grasshopper is bigger than a shark. We need someone to make proper (lifesize) fish models, preferably ones you can hang on the wall.

Don't force yourself to do things you don't want to do. That can only really make you not enjoy yourself. Coming from my experience when not liking certain events I would just skip it if it doesn't interest me. My best solution is to find someone who has Rover's Photo as a trade item.

Yeah the reason why I didn’t do it was because I was not really interested in Rovers picture. I heard that for people who didn’t do the event last year, missed out on the picture this year ( they were gifted the suitcase instead ). I was a little hesitant that if I don’t do the event, then next year my price would be the picture instead of a nicer price. I ended up doing it though. I saw a YouTube video with a step by step which was ok. I just don’t want to miss any nice prices in future years
