ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

Two things:

1. I SERIOUSLY want to give Daisy Mae a handkerchief! She's otherwise very cute, but without a tissue, she is nauseating. Am I the only one who stands north of her before speaking to her so that when we talk, I won't have to see her face?
For the two times I ever bought turnips in NH that's what I did. Since then I've taken it a step further and simply do not play the game before 12pm on Sundays because I find the drip that repulsive.
 
Happy Home Paradise feels "too easy" when you just do things half way and the villager doesn't seem to care how well the home is as long as they have the items they wanted to see. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I wish there was a grading system.
My daughter has HHP and suggested that there could be an optional grading system that you could opt into for extra points and bonus items or something like that. Seems like a good option to me. I know she spends a great deal of time making sure the critters will like their environments, so it does seem like there could be some kind of incentive to do so other than "a job well done is its own reward."
 
The Able Sisters use the NL style mannequins to display clothing so the model exists in the game. However, the player can't have them? I wish we could have the NL mannequins to dress up and display. It had a huge effect on the dream towns. Also to serve as an alternate way to switch clothes for those players who prefer the NL way in contrast to the NH wand system.
 
I can't believe I have to bring up this game again but in Pocket Camp at least it tells you what sort of items that the villager wants for their vacation home and you actually get graded if you have that item, but if you don't have it and place it with something else then it would nerf the rating the score.

Yeah, I kinda hate that Pocket Camp has all the good stuff and New Horizons seems to miss out. 😭
 
Not really whining, but anyone else finds it weird that there is no sound coming from this T.V.

you're aware that the nose drip is an item that can be worn by the player as well, right?
*manic laughter*
 
I haven't played in weeks! 😭

I'm so tired of getting duplicate recipes!

I'm so tired of looking for Celeste!

I'm so tired of the repetitive dialogue I have to mash through to get anything done!

I'M SICK OF THE MUSIC.

I need to do a time travel trick next time I log on to prevent a trillion flowers from spawning (it snowed last time I played) and I just don't feel like it!

I need to move my castle a space over again so I can put bushes at the entrance and it's so, so annoying pushing and pulling and placing and repaving the floor!!!!!

I haven't even hit 1000 hours which is insane to me because I feel like I gave my life and soul to this game... How do people do it?? 🤯
 
Snow just looks off in general on a tropical island. Like, geographically, that’s impossible. Snow on an island? Really? I might be biased though. I hate snow in real life.
I definitely get tired of the snow because I’m
not a fan of it either. It’s nice for a couple of days. Technically it’s a deserted island not tropical and as weird as it might sound to some there are islands that get snow. I lived on Long Island forever and we got plenty of snow. It’s one reason I eventually left the island and went south.
 
i completely agree with all the snow comments above, the snow is just not it at this point. like i feel like we should not have to wait until february 26th to not have snow anymore. i used to live way up north, and the snow stopped coming around mid/early february. just like how they have us wait until december 10 for snow, maybe the snow should melt on february 10 too. idk.

however that isn't what i'm here to complain about.

i'm here to complain aBOUT THE SIZE OF FOOD WHEN YOU FINISH MAKING IT.

WHY IS IT SOMETIMES THE SIZE OF THE PLAYER'S HEAD???

food is WAYYYY too big in this game. and someone a week or so ago also said that food is literally pointless and i agree. BUT the ginormous size of it makes it even MORE pointless. like????????? i don't know. i hope someone agrees with me :')

The size of food really is too big. It makes it hard to decorate with because it just looks weird and takes up so much space. There is only one benefit that the food has. If your redoing an area and need to remove a bunch of trees you only need two food items to remove 10 trees instead of 10 pieces of fruit. Once I’m done redoing my island food will go back to being pointless.
 
Okay the snow needs to melt already. I've had enough.
Absolutely. I've been on and off the game during winter and I didn't have time to regularly pick the wild flowers (those I didn't intentionally plant). Snow just horrendously overgrew my flowers and now idk what to do bc I don't have time to clean them up. 🙃.

That being said, I also wish there was a way to clear flowers faster. I want to restart my game just because there are too many flowers. There are easily a few hundred flowers overgrowing on my island. I wouldn't be surprised if there were 400 flowers or something. 😭

I could remove all your flowers for free if you want, I don't mind cleaning up hundreds of flowers. :)

It still bothers me how we don't have a service in this game to remove all flowers. Like Leif has a Weeding Service, yet he cannot remove flowers.

exactly. like if the food was closer to the size of the items from redd's raffle or the roost's takeout coffee, it would probably be cuter and more enjoyable. and of course i understand that bigger dishes mean bigger models, but dude, it really does not have to be half the size of the player's body. :')
 
When you time travel or don't play for awhile, sisterly villagers are like, "Oh, I missed talking to you. You're such a good listener" which is a silly thing to say when you've literally been ignoring them for months.

I agree. I just reset an island for the sole reason that there were too many flowers. My other island also has too many flowers but I love it enough to deal with them. But the other island just wasn't special enough--reset was a good option.

Yeah, the flowers are out of control. They duplicate so fast and it’s unrealistic (then again, so are money trees)… I wish there were a flower removal service. And the fact they have to be dug up? Why can’t you just pick them up? It’s really annoying…
 
I don't mind the snow in the game or IRL. Where I live it is not uncommon for it to snow on and off even into April sometimes, so if the game is going to get rid of snow in February, I'm happy with that. February is often the worst month of the year if January wasn't too brutal. That might just be me though. I'd rather be cold than too hot. I grew up in a hot climate and hated sweating. lol. What I do hate about the game's winter though, is how difficult it is to make a "perfect" snow person. And they're so picky about the size of their heads. I swear the few that I've managed to get perfect were no different than the ones that whined about their head's not being the right size for their bodies. It will likely be the only nook miles goal that I never achieve.

And omg, the flowers are like weeds. Worse than the weeds in fact! At least the weeds can picked up with Y and not dug out. :rolleyes:
