ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

[Moritz]

Does anyone find it weird how when you first played this game that the very first special villager that showed up on your island was Mabel? It used to be where she would come on some days when you buy clothes from her and after enough shopping with her, she becomes interested in setting up a shop. When I first played this game I thought Kicks and Leif would get the same treatment. After over a year it doesn't seem like they got their own shops.

I mean I don't really care for Kicks because he sells only shoes, but with Leif I really had to wait a week or sometimes longer for him to show up whenever I want to buy bushes from him. After a year I just just wished Leif had his own shop by now.

I dont think leif really needs his own shop as once you have your bushes placed, they're placed.
The only reason I buy from him at all now is because every couple months you need to dig up every bush and replace them with the ones in season.

I think he would need more to do than just being a bush vendor to justify a shop.

But I certainly would agree that its annoying when you want new bushes and have to wait for him to show up.
I've taken to buying the next seasons bushes in advance and keeping them in storage to get around it.

I wish there were more ambiances in the game, preferably ones we can control (like the frogs). For instance, the Stormy-night Wall. How cool would be if we could have an optional switch that allows us to hear a thunderstorm?

Leif could sell a different piece of fruit that rng rotates and have a wider selection of furniture based plants. And he could offer his weed dispersal services so that you don't have to manually do it yourself. And maybe sticks/rocks could be a thing he cleans up to. Maybe even sell his fertilizer which would give your flowers a higher chance of breeding the rare types the next day.

There's actually a lot they could do with him if they put their minds to it. It does get annoying if you want him and don't have the time to TT to find him on a given day.

This is a truly, truly petty complaint, I know, but like...what exactly is this umbrella protecting my giant head from? Because it certainly isn't rain!

 

[Starboard]

Why is the bulk option of the customisation kits not even enough for many of the furniture pieces?? That's so strange to me. It shouldn't go above 3 to customise something in my opinion.

I find it really annoying how everytime your villager runs up to you and they are like "I got something for you" and it turns out to be another piece of clothing! I swear the villagers really have a bad habit of having so many clothes. Its an Animal Crossing Logic, because if they didn't want the clothes would it make more sense for them to sell them at the shop instead of constantly giving them to you all the time?

This is the reason why after when I've been "best friends" with villagers for the longest while I move them out, just so they don't constantly annoy me with forcing gifts on me that I didn't ask for, because it can get pretty annoying after you keep getting the same gift over and over again.

And when they think you asked for something and you didn't, but they make you take it anyway. It's like they have a compulsion to gift you clothes!

I kind of wish the game had a seperate collection of clothing that you could only get from your villagers, so that I can be excited when they give me something. As it is they may as well be handing me trash since I already have every clothing item I want.

Same! I also wana sing with the villagers infrilont of the rs building

This rant is funny, but so true! I love your idea @Starboard.

 

[CylieDanny]

Minor, but Id love to see my villagers react more when I faint in front of them from a wasp sting xD

They kinda just stand there. Like waking up with them asking if your ok would be cool, also asking around to see how you ended up on the porch of your house

 

[King koopa]

Bro me tooooo! I want to sing and have cookouts with Judy and julian hopefully it gets added in as November added some of the reactions, so maybe we'll get the rest soon.

Here's some more problems, daisy Mae only is at your island in the morning, why?, I'm not religious but people who are have to miss her entirely, taking a fun and easy way to make some bells, next is the lack of camera angle changing when on the island, you should be able to see the island from all angles! And finally, why are there only three octopuses, and only like six bulls and four cows, when we got new villagers, did we really need new ones for abundant species, rather than adding some to species with basically no members, like come on.

i know... i missed her until quite a while ago because i was still asleep...

See, this is why she should be there till like 5 pm or something

 

[Moritz]

I could be wrong but I'm not familiar with any religion that bans video games on Sunday mornings.
Unless you're referring to Sunday service? Because that's just an hour. Lots of time to go on the game before or after (depending on what time it is held)

Ok, what I mean is, people sleep in, then go to Sunday service, and that might be a while, so they miss her, they might have a small window, but people might not remember to play during that immediate time

I don’t know if it’s just my villagers but when they ask me to deliver a present to another villager.

The villager they want it delivering to is either right near them or in the house in front of them. Which brings up questions why they couldn’t WALK there themselves, save me the task!

Or that the villager they want the item delivered to, is just straight up missing. Either they’re in nooks, ables, the museum or are running around somewhere. I just literally cannot find them at all and I’m stuck waiting for them to show up.

It’s not anything huge but, repeated scenarios just grind.

That reminds me of Happy Home Designer where you could put ambient sounds in your homes as if they were coming from outside. I remember I liked using the blizzard one and I loved the one with the tweeting birds.

I wish the ocean had distant seagull noises and maybe boat horns. It's a really nostalgic sound to me.

I reallllllly wish something could be done about fences and pathing. The fences are in the middle of spaces, not on the edges which really bothers me because you can't make a clean edge without using a custom path that accounts for the difference. And why is the pathing squares smaller than the actual space? Like if you put down some terracotta, then place a pattern over it, the pattern is bigger than the terracotta square so it goes over the edge. It's not possible to make a checkered pattern the in-game pathing because the path squares don't reach to the edges. I really wish we had the option of choosing whether we wanted a full square of pathing or the reduced version they gave us. If I could only choose one, I'd choose the full square.
Why can't we make bigger circles with our pathing? We can for cliffs, which uses the same mechanics. You either get a rounded square or a fat plus sign.
Lastly, while I understand why they made it so that custom patterns are automatically smoothed out. However, I wish we could turn it off for patterns that need crisp edges like pixel art.

The villagers just treat you like a "delivery" person when they ask you to do things like that. I mean you started the fight so go give the gift to the villager you upset. Its like they don't know that there are shops to sell clothing and furniture that they don't want and they have to force gift on you.
