ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

[VanitasFan26]

A tiny, tiny pet peeve, but yesterday I bumped into Rodeo when island-hopping looking for a new resident. He was one of the first five villagers on my island, so I was so disappointed when he said "It's nice to meet you!" as if we'd never met before.

Its the same thing if you saw Rodeo as a Random Campsite Visitor or he showed up at the Resort asking for a Vacation Home. I swear the villagers are so brain dead acting like they don't know who you are.

Yeah, it's such a shame they didn't add a mechanism so the villagers used a different set of dialogue if they'd interacted with you before. Oh well!

It's been said many times but getting duplicate DIYs is so frustrating. I've time traveled extensively and I swear I've seen that stupid barbell 6+ times, while the iron garden set (table, chair, bench), which I really want, refuses to spawn, period. I know I can trade for them but I have very limited WiFi access. Guess I'll keep looking.

Yes!! I've gotten some of the same ones like 20 times and it's like what do I do with these?

When I see duplicate DIYS I tend to toss them away in the Garbage Can. It just triggers me when I see the same thing over and over again. (cough) vine outfit for the 5th time (cough)

You only earn a point towards the nook miles stretching achievement a day. I’m just here totally depressed I just stretched like 15 times and when I looked at the goal, it only says 1

Wow that is so dumb.

It’s definitely disappointing but I’m not surprised. I think it’s one of those things they want you to take your time with and not get them all in one day. Aerobics are better on NH then they were in GC. At least you can do aerobics anytime instead of only from 6am-7am on sunny days in the summer like it was in GC.

I normally don’t do the aerobics at all. I was trying to complete the 50 to receive the Health Nut title

The character I’m getting the title for has a house that is hospital theme, so I thought the added title might be nice. I’ve been working on getting all my characters titles to match their themes and names, but it’s becoming time consuming.

Meh I think they only did that just to pander the game. Same thing with the issue not being to bulk craft (yeah I know its being talked to death) that doesn't excuse them from not adding that in.

Yea unfortunately there are a lot of things that are time consuming . Sometimes a good thing but not when you have a specific goal. Sounds like a fun idea for a house.

Yea that’s pretty much it. Most of the things they did was just to try and make the game last longer. Yea at some point you should be able to bulk craft even if it’s not there at the beginning.

Having to enter every letter to delete is a torture method.

Why can't you just select each and mass delete like emails?

When you’re closer to your house then your storage box outside so you walk into your house for mere SECONDS to put something away and then the knock on the door comes.

I just really wish we could redo our island without losing our achievements. Or, like, unlock another unhabitated island. The first month of the game is just so much fun and once you're satisfied with your island I feel like there's nothing else for me to get out of the game.

The only way to actually save your achievements is if you're a regular Resident and not a Resident Representative. It requires to have a 2nd copy of the game and a 2nd switch to do that. So my "Resident" can move off different islands while still keeping all of the achievements and DIYS that they have learned.

I swear if you didn’t time travel in this game, completing everything you want would be so long and tedious. It’s almost as if not time traveling is impossible.

Writing letters is so tedious!! I love sending dumb letters to my villagers but in ACNH you have to go tru 3-4 different dialogues just to be able to start writing one! It's so silly, why can't these birds just sell you their postcards like Nook did in previous games & mass send them? I miss only having to select the card and then a neighbor to start writing lol

And another little thing (that was a pet peeve in ACNL too) is that villagers gift you their photo as a reward like if they were just usual furniture. In ACWW villagers made a HUGE deal about their pics, would ping and have a special convo when they gift you it and later on would sometimes ask if you still had their pic around and such. I *think* in ACNH villagers react to their pics if you got it displayed on your house, but in general they just dont care.

Writing letters really is such a pain. With such an easy fix. All they would have to do is have the option to either stop writing or write another letter. I used to love writing letters but such a pain with having to go through so much unnecessary dialogue.

You know there was a time when writing letters to your villagers actually meant something, but its serves not much of a purpose in this game. They really should've added back the Post Office where it would not make it so hard to write letters. Back in the old AC game we used to write letters on pieces of paper and the thing is you can send them all at the Post office. Its better than talking to Orville over and over when he keeps pestering you the same questions.

Yea it was better in older games. I really do miss the post office. I also miss when villagers would show you the letters you wrote to them. They said that you wrote them or that other players wrote to them. It’s small things like that I miss.

I miss a lot of the buildings in general tbh. The island/camp theme is super cute, but I'd love to have a little town strip again to go through. I suppose the happy home island helps with that, but only a little? I also miss the post office dearly.... and villager interaction, but even that's sorta beating a dead horse in the fandom scene.

It would've been really cute if they had some sort of Swapnote-esque feature through the post office that would allow us to send drawings, letters, etc to one another. It would've been a cute thing! But anything Swapnote is also dead forever. Lol

Can we just have Pelly and Phyllis work at town hall? I wanna see what Phyllis has to gossip about Isabelle. She HAS to have some dirt on her!
