ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

I really hate HHP.
I’m just trying to get through all these vacation homes so that I can finally have access to design my villager homes.

I think I have gotten the same food recipe from my villagers 3 times in a row now. Help. I just want new foods.

I do not like the RNG of where my villagers spawn when I log on
The villagers I don't care where the heck they are at the moment are always inside their house if you wanna talk to them and the villagers I NEED at the moment are always in random places and I need to hunt them down.

My woes with tables never ends. I hate that you can't place items in the center of tables outside (because of the lack of designer mode for outdoors). There are glitches you can exploit to do it, but you really shouldn't have to.

I've noticed that one of my villagers tends to have slumber parties with the tailors. At least that's what I assume happens, because I'll wait by the door for it to open, and once I'm allowed to enter, she's already there. Or perhaps she can teleport, because one morning when this happened, I went back to my house to get an object for her, came back to the tailors, and she had already gone back to her own home.

Which is where I learned something even more upsetting: You can't give villagers items while they're sitting. What an... awfully specific and seemingly random restriction.

Its so dumb how you need a NSO account just to send letters. Even when playing locally it doesn't work.

You mean even with local play you cannot send letters to another player if they are on a different switch right?
Because you can still send letters to another player without NSO IF they are both on the same switch on the same island

Yeah thats what I meant. I am talking about on the 2nd switch with a 2nd copy of the game that its not possible. Also I am aware that you can send letters to other Residents.

If you have HHP, You can get a food recipe every day from the restaurant once you design it. And I've noticed it's always one I haven't learnt yet, but maybe I've just been really lucky.

The cafe in HHP also offers rotating food items that you can buy, but it doesn't seem like there's that many options.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know that!

All good

It really bothers me how everything in this game is so "luck based" because its like one moment you're hoping to get a certain DIY that you haven't learned only to get the same one again that you already learned. Same thing with Furniture being sold in Nook's Cranny and Lottie's shop. I don't know if the RNG in this game hates me or its because I have bad luck trying to get certain items.

When I designed Mathilda’s house, I did not take into account that she would randomly add a giant kitchen whenever she wants.

That's only when they are crafting furniture or food. It should be gone when they aren't the designated crafter for that day/time period.

A thing I dislike is not being able to customise all types of clothes. Another thing I dislike is not being able to create copies of DIY recipes to give to other people.

 

[ItsThatDamCatAgain]

The fact you can't mass craft, I like to make bulk fish bait and I did that today and Oh No gathering the clams? No problem. CRAFTING them? I felt my soul start leeching out after a while.
That and the Dodo at the desk talks far too much, I do not need to hear the same "Oh you've got nook miles ticket" line every time.

 

[Corrie]

Why. Is. There. No. Bulk. Crafting.

It's not cute or quirky to force us to craft one thing at a time. It's gotten to the point where I'd rather pay someone on here to craft me multiple fencing than me do it myself because I have zero patience for that crap.

I'm not a fan at how over-dramatic my brain is about using the dang tools. It's always saying "It'll break this time won't it? No? Well it'll break this time won't it? The money rock isn't worth it, fixing your shovel will get too annoying! Skip the rainy days, fixing your shovel (plucking flowers) will get too annoying! Don't catch that common bug, it's not worth it to waste your net uses!" I know I have problems but I just wish the devs never came up with this "they'll always break lol" idea because it taints the experience of the game for me

This is literally why I hate the tool breaking and crafting. I use to love fishing, bug catching and digging up fossils. Now I dread it because of the tools breaking and the annoyance it causes. I really wish this was something they could just remove from the game. No matter how good I think other aspects of the game are, this one feature pretty much ruins it all for me and makes me go and play Stardew instead XD

They should have added a durability thing like on Minecraft so you can see when your tools are actually gonna break, also it would be cool if we could use materials to repair tools, but maybe that wouldn't work out.

Yea my mind works the same with tools. Always worried that my tools will break at the worst possible time. Needing to carrying multiple of each just in case they break right when I see a rare bug. I would feel better about the tools breaking if golden tools didn’t break. It makes no sense since you worked so hard for them that they shouldn’t break.
