ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

I just got stuck on a part of my island with no way out. A long time ago, I got rid of my vaulting pole. Today I went to check out this particular part of my island, and my villagers decided to start having a conversation right in the exit ( which is a bridge). I had no way out 😭

And they kept talking and talking and wouldn’t move. I also was expecting someone over my island and I was freaking out a bit that they will fly over and I’m stuck all the way at the back of my island no where near the airport. I wish villagers were a bit more movable.
In addition to what @b100ming said, you can also just use the Rescue Service app on your Nook Phone, which I think costs you like 100 Nook Miles? I think that's faster and more convenient than saving/exiting the game or talking to your villagers to end their conversation.
 
Save and exit, then get back in. You’ll spawn at your house. Also, if you interact with the villagers during the conversation, they’ll stop sooner.
The issue was that since I had someone coming over, my gates were open, and I had already sent out the dodo, so I didn’t want to save and exit. I did end up talking with the villagers since I saw no other way. It was rough though because I was afraid anyone coming over will get the message where the airlines was unavailable.

Oh that’s great, I think it is. I wasn’t sure if that was available when the gates were open so I didn’t try it. Good to know for the future.

Actually, I'm not sure if it's available while your gates are open, either. Worst case, you can just let your visitor(s) know about the delay, and I'm sure they'll understand.
 
The event during Camp Bell Tree where we had to take a snapshot of our character outside instilled in me a loathing for the shadows cast by the clouds passing overhead. Since I was going for a specific pose it was a pain. I do kind of like the idea, admittedly, but god it was so annoying in that circumstance. Not sure if others who take more snapshots might have similar experiences if they care about how the snapshots look in that regard, but it sure bugged me.

Except for terraforming, a lot of things will continue work with the gate open as long as no one is in the town. Sometimes I can play for hours, forgetting my gates are open.

Rescue services won't work with players over since to observing players you'd be appearing and disappearing, but it does work with the gates open when no one is over.
 
I just need to say something. Why do villagers always seem to walk up to you whenever you are trying to do work on your island and the moment you press A to pick up something you accidently talk to your villager. I mean seriously. This is one of the reason why I have certain parts of my island fenced off whenever I am doing work because I cannot stand them when they are in my way. One of the worst things that happened was that Apollo sat in front of the airport and I had no way of getting through. I had to push him off and he got annoyed with me.

I am sorry but whoever programmed these villagers to walk in front of you, sit on the ground when you're trying to terraform or when trying to do work on your island really should've done more with the villagers where if they see you working they will just walk away from you. Its funny when you try to sit next to them they get up and they walk off, yet when they sit on the ground in front of you while you're doing work its a different story.
 
I'm trying to get Cyd to thought bubble to move. I fenced him in bit somehow he keeps escaping and teleporting outside of his barricade. He is the newest villager but its been more than a month and he still isnt a villager that wants to move. I really dislike this process but at least its better than NL with a villager up and leaving without you knowing.
 
I swear it takes eighty years to open my airport. They need to make that process shorter.

It should be more like this...

What do you want to do?
I want to invite visitors with Dodo Code
I want to invite friends

or

Where would you like to go?
I want to use a Nook Miles ticket
I want to visit someone with Dodo Code
I want to visit a friend

Yeah I would like that so much better. Orville just never seems to stop talking.

Petty complaint update!
Cyd has still refused to move out. Its been mind-numbingly frustrating. I guess I will have to move out another villager first then move out Cyd. The whole moving out process is so burdensome. So many switch clock changes. So many unnecessary Isabelle announcements. I'm steadily loosing my sanity over moving out one villager.

This is the reason why I buy amiibo cards because at least when you invite a villager 3 times and on the 3rd day when they want to move in you are in control of who gets to moved out, unlike the random campsite villagers where the game decides for you.

If he's your newest villager, he won't be the first to ask to move out.
After he moved in, if you refused to let someone else move, then he will be able to ask to leave.

So if you're not answering anyone in hopes he will get the bubble, then he won't.
But if you tell someone no, and then wait or TT a couple of weeks, then he will be able to move.

Letting someone else move out won't help you more than saying no to someone else
And if you have already said no to someone else then having someone else move won't do anything.

Hope that helps

Yes he is my newest...however...I have already gone through 6 villagers who thought bubbled already and declined each one. Maybe I'm just really unlucky right now...

Yep you might have bad RNG. I know how that feels.

Yeah rng in this game can be borderline atrocious. It took me like 8 months or more to get my first meteor shower on my own island. People were posting/tweeting about it all the time and I just could not get lucky.
 
I really like 3 jocks.
And I want all 3
But all 3 are the same subtype

I fully get why you can't and I don't want us to be able to
But I wish we could assign our own subtypes to them.

Heck, assign our own personality to them.

As I said, I don't want to be able to change who villagers are. I just wish those I love weren't all the same as each other

(Thats not me asking for more dialogue either as even then they will still be the same)

I still cringe at myself when I had like 7 normal villagers on my old island before it was deleted. I knew they were talking the same way. It felt like I was talking to the same animal but they looked different. I do agree every villager should be their own selves in their own different way. Not copy each other word for word.

Its not cringe if they made you happy!

Its been a long journey for me to find myself accepting not having all the personality types.

I really like the variety of dialogue from having lots of different personalities. But I found myself missing the villagers I loved too much to find it worth it any more.

The only female villager I love is Megan.
I dont know why. The normal personality bores me from anyone other than her or sandy.
But Megan is just perfect.

Sisterly is a great personality and would love to keep one around. But the closest I got to love was pashmina but it wasn't love. Shame so many designs are so ugly.

Peppy is just annoying.

And snooty... has lots of villagers I like a lot.
None I love.

It took a year and a half to find myself happy to just have those who make me happy.
But im so glad I did.

So if normal makes you happy. Then I say do it!

Maybe I am being too critical. I mean I still have a few villagers I had from the old island before it was deleted.

Raymond who I bought for 400 nmts is still here. He's a smug villager that stood out to me since I like his business coat that fits my style.

Kiki who was on the 2nd island (which was Bastion before it was deleted) and I invited her to Destiny and she was such a cute cat.

Hopkins is a blue lazy rabbit which has all of the personality types that fits me. His color and his home that has arcades in it.

Bunnie is a Peppy Rabbit which reminded me of my old pet rabbit when she passed away back in 2017

Tasha who was the last villager to live on Traverse before it was gone for good and I still have her to this day. Here color really fits well with me.

Right now the last two villagers I am still looking for are Wendy and Kitty. I am just picking out villagers that fits me really well. In the past I was too focused on getting popular villagers and I did so much villager trading that it made me feel so burned out. I just learned to accept what villager fits me well and not have like same duplicate personalities. I really have changed.....

I always thought the last villager to move in would not ask to leave. I thought you had to have someone else move out first. Like if I wanted Kyle the last villager to move in to ask to leave . He wouldn’t ask until someone else moved out first.
