I wish there was a way to freeze weed growth on stages 1 and 2
I also wish stages 2 and 3 had more visual variety to them

This is a very small couple of things, But I do not like when I am trying to pick something up or cleaning a area and I rub off the custom flooring 
I also dislike it when I am trying to pick or plant items with my shovel and I dig up another item or I pick up a tree and I waste all the food I just ate so I have to go back and eat more food to run back to what I was doing.

When the 2.0 update introduced the shopping district at Harv’s island as stores ran out of RV’s I was lowkey disappointed because I thought that implementing something like the shopping area in City Folk would’ve been a better idea.

I was very disappointed to learn that we cannot use Room Size feature from HHP in our homes on our island. All rooms that were on the left, right and up are too small and I was really hoping we could expand the room size but we can't do that. Back in New Leaf you were able to expand your room size sure it costed bells but it was possible. Now I can't even fit most of the new items in my personal home. Its good thing I made extra homes on my island because at least I can take advantage of the main room, attic and basement since they are pretty big.
I wish we wouldn't receive vine and glowing moss duplicates until we've received all the recipes at least once. Why is Celeste the only smart force for good in this regard? Something like 30 million ACNH players and she remembers which recipes everyone has. She is wonderful.
When you catch a crucian carp, your character says "I caught a crucian carp. My skills are sharp!" I wish I could change that because I don't think it's true. Catching a crucian carp is as easy as rolling off a log. I catch them all the time, even though I don't want them and they are fairly worthless.
Also, and this is my own fault but I am really terrible at placing zen bridges. I like them and want to use them but often place them so they don't look well and have to demolish and do over, sometimes with an entirely different bridge. Ugh.

I'm tired of the snow already so I time traveled that island to spring and summer and found out that the outdoor designs I have all look a bit better with the snow than with the grass, like the flowers and stuff. Hmm. I would have enjoyed playing cherry blossom season anyway but the game won't give the recipes and it's very frustrating. I probably need to play HHP for awhile to have something to do. I'm looking forward to Festivale since Pave brings some energy to winter.
You know what really bothers me? That you can't create a new island without keeping all your old achievements. In the New Leaf Amiibo update you could restart by selling your town, I don't remember if you kept your medals but at least Nintendo understood the desire to have a new town without losing everything. I really don't understand why I can't reset in-game and keep my achievements and their progress. The only achievement that would have to change is the first one because it's tied specifically to your island name, but it would be cool if that one was a little record of all your old islands, even if just their name and their date of creation.
If that was a thing, I'd probably get a new island every couple of months and try a new island name with a new theme. Bunch of people would create islands until they're done, upload them as dream islands and move on. And Nintendo doesn't have to delete every dream address after inactivity either tbh, just tie them to our Nintendo account and give us the option to delete them via a browser too.
But anyway, I wouldn't mind starting anew if I could keep the achievements I collected over the last two years. I know it's not something the average AC player needs, but it's my petty complaint y'know. I can get pretty bothered by river exits and island names, but it's no fun to redo everything just to change a detail.

Probably someone's posted this before but the lack of cat-themed items is annoying. Dogs have 2 separate sets of plushies for crying out loud! Where's my kitty plushies? 
The lucky cat and tiger stuff is not enough. My whole island is named for and dedicated to the memory of one very special feline companion I had for many years. I want cat stuff everywhere!

I wish special characters had shifts were they swap out with other characters.
Like it'd be nice to see Blathers have a chair and run the night shift while Celeste runs the day shift in the museum or something. I don't want to see Blathers literally standing his entire life in one spot. Can we bring back Phyllis and Pelly (and Pete) for the Residential Services. And someone especially for Timmy and Tommy? It's literally child labor
and they never leave the shop anymore even for New Years! Please.
I also want to see special characters walk around. It'd be nice to see Sable smelling flowers instead of being glued to her chair. Her muscles have probably atrophied by now

I really hate that the recipe for giant vines requires 25 pieces of vines to pick, yet when you go to either HHP or the vine & glowing moss island via Kapp'n you only pick up about ten pieces. What's more annoying is that HHP doesn't exactly spawn back the vines you pick quickly either and it's highly unlikely you'll go back to the vine island via Kapp'n for at least a few more days.

I would argue that City Folk which is underrated had so many other features that never made a comeback in New Leaf or New Horizons
Here's a video from @jvgsjeff that explains it:

I recently restarted and the tutorial (??? Beginning chunk) of the game is so slow and tedious, especially when I have limited time to play because my daughter.
Took me several days to get enough iron for the nook store to open because it's so hard to get miles when you're starting out, so I didn't want to use the freebie nook mile ticket from Tom Nook cause it took me forever to be able to buy one.
I got the game when it first released and the beginning segment killed my enjoyment so quickly, I'm sticking through it this time though (mostly cause I want to play HHP *so* bad, and I ordered Chabwick and Sasha's amiibos)

The Tutorial is way worse in New Leaf because you have to get a 100% approval rating just to start doing Public Works Projects as Mayor. Then the villagers would constantly remind of things you need to know even though you heard it many times. I mean seriously I couldn't even imagine what would've happened if Isabelle says you need to have a 5 star rating just to invite K.K. Slider on your island.
