ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

So this just screams oversight. Like why are we forced to just take diy from our villagers when we have it, but you can refuse ones you don't have. Like who would refuse a diy they don't have?

@RoxasFan20 Reading your comment and I agree. It also makes me come to the conclusion that both of our points are simply because they want to push their paid online.
Oh yeah I do agree with you there with the DIYs. This is why I never talk to my villagers, because its like I already knew what types of DIY they are going to give me. I had to look up a guide of what DIYS villagers give you and it turns out you can different ones based on personality. Even if its that one DIY that you're missing and you need that said personality villager on your island you would get so much bad RNG trying to get the DIY and yet you still keep getting duplicates.

LITERALLY. this especially bugs me whenever i have a package to deliver to the villager that’s crafting. like no, margie, i don’t want yet another spare diy that’ll wind up in the trash, i just want to give you this darn present. 😭
 
Catching star fragments is too hard. I would leave my controllers for one sec, and then all of the sudden, I'm scrambling to grab them because I heard the sound of a shooting star, and because I hit 'A' without looking... Frita was all, "Ewes, somebody's talkative." NO, FRITA, I WAS TRYING TO CATCH A STAR. lol

Agreed. I ended up just buying mine from users on here cause screw that lol.
 
I just really don't like Apple. I feel like I should invite her since she is a prominent peppy but I just can't do it. Ditto for Soleil. I love her house but I just don't like hamsters much, except Hamlet. Hamlet is the best.
 
I wish designing your island layout is more user-friendly, as in you could see it in a top-down view the way you do when you go into decorating mode in your home. That would have made placement of homes and buildings much easier as you'll have a clear view of what goes where.

That will also prevent you from resetting your island, which I'm about to do.
 
I really hate the sharpness of the blue in the roses and pansies especially in comparison to the blue hyacinths. Also I wish you had the option to customise the mush lamps into a shade of purple or even pink.

Even something as simple as a little blip marker, when in terraform mode, to see where you're about to make a cliff or body of water would be a step up. Can't tell you how many times I thought I was going to add or take away (in varying lengths) only to do the exact opposite. It couldn't had been that hard to implement something like that.
 
Tomorrow is the last day to buy Moon-viewing Day items! Be sure to buy dango and moon cakes that can't be customised!

....

Yeah I was pissed that I couldn't customise the dango. I thought Japan knew that dango came in diffferent flavours...I mean they invented it.

Are these new items for this year or were they around last year? I actually haven't booted up NH all of September or most of August. Thanks for the heads up!

They are new items for this year. Last year you could order a Moon rug for Moon-viewing Day. This year you can order the rug, dango, moon cakes and some Korean dish (I forgot). Be sure to order them today if you dont TT

I actually like the bolder blue in them! It's nice to have different shades of the same color so that you can use the different flowers for different things. For example, the blue in the roses and pansies is perfect during July for US Independence Day type stuff. But the blue hyacinths are nice for general summer and actually even winter colors.

As for customizing things like mush lamps, I'm totally with you there. I am really disappointed that the flower furniture can't be customized into all of the colors that those flowers come in! They have the different colored pumpkins being used to customize Spooky DIY items, why not have a similar mechanic for the flower DIY items?! Seems sort of silly to me.
 
Why must the non-custom design paths be so rectangular and Minecraft-esque? Why must I be more impressed with the natural pathing of games 7+ years older than New Horizons?

And finally, why do I care so much about this?
 
So I've been playing a indie game by the name of Stardew Valley. The game was made by one person and it is so chock-full of content. It reminds me of old school Harvest Moon and farming simulator games like that. I could really get down to it and explain a lot about the game, but it is really fun.

In the game you learn blueprints so that you can make things that will help your farm out or decorate. If you don't have a workstand nearby all you can craft is the things in your pocket space. But get this, if you build a workstand and put it down close to storage boxes you can pull from both pocket space and storage containers simultaneously. The game will first take from your pockets and then take the rest from the storage.

You can also toggle a certain box so that any materials in your pockets will auto-fill into the containers so you don't have to manually drop it all in.

Like how is it that a indie game with one person on the project is able to make a QoL update like that but a big named company can't even bother to do the most basic of QoL updates? Something isn't right here. We rip so hard on small indie devs for doing the same stuff that Nintendo is doing, but low and behold it's cool when they do it?
 
prob unpopular opinion but i miss the sloppy series (more than any other furniture set that wasn’t included); i don’t understand why it wasn’t included in nh. i literally had a dream a couple nights ago that an update gave us a whole new reworked sloppy set and it was amazing. now i cant stop thinking about it, smh 😔

They gave use a sloppy rug and more than one chocolate themed wall and floor combo that would pair well with the sweets set from New Leaf.
 
I’m kind of sad that my final island design is not 5*

My island has been 5* pretty much the entire time I’ve been building it up, even with loads of trees stuck together as storage, random items and bushes lying around. The ENTIRE TIME. I finally finished the island design I was working on (except for the beaches) and I talked to Isabelle and I still got a 5* rating.
This was a relief because I had a bunch of trees close together for my lake view.

Then I quickly finished off my natural beach design with a handful of palm trees and some weeds and log stakes

4 stars

too many trees
😭

This has always been my argument to anyone defending the ACNH development team. I get that times are tough and covid messed things up. But Stardew is AMAZING! And there are many other games out there too with half the work force and budget of NH that are also amazing. Whereas NH falls flat on its face. What’s your excuse Nintendo?!
