ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

Why on earth does it force a duplicate on you, yet it’s optional when is the first time getting it?! .—-.
Same thing happens with the cooking recipes where they give it to you and then they are like "Oh you already know it pass it on to someone else" duplicates are such a big issue in this game.
 
Why can't you tell what rugs, walls and floors Saharah has when she visits your island.
I know right? The only way to tell is that you visit her at Harvs island but whats even more annoying is that she only sells the same stuff in stock at Harvs until next week Monday.

Unlike Redd where if you buy the art he will have different art tomorrow.
 
Saharah not letting you see the items before you purchase them is carryover from New Leaf, where the contents of your purchase was intended to be a surprise. I wasn't terribly fond of it there, either, but at least in New Horizons she lets you place the item down instead of dragging you to your house and then giving it a complete makeover.
 
The same pet peeves are common for so many people and I definitely share a few of them (no shopping cart at Ables, one ticket prints at a time, no bulk crafting, etc.)...

For me, one thing that kinda bugs me a bit is the music... it feels like the better songs all play at other times of day when I'm not playing. I work until 3pm everyday so the only music I typically get to listen to is from 3-6pm... once or twice I stayed up to 10 and 11 so I could get the beetles that are only around at 11.
My absolute favorite is the 12pm music, but I only get to enjoy it on weekends.
 
Girl houses are so much harder to decorate than boy houses. I’m really struggling with Nan and Agne’s homes. I sort of have a sloppy clutter-ey look going on for many of my homes, but I feel like that look quite doesn’t match them. I’ve also have used many of the good wallpapers on the others.

This is why I would love if we could pick which hourly track we listen to. I also love the 12pm music but don’t get it hear it very often.
 
i don't like how we can't choose the time when we want a villager can to come to our house later. it was a perfectly good mechanic in the older titles and i will never understand why nintendo chose not to put it in new horizons.
 
I went to convert my poki to bells and of course they put us on a chain and leash, only allowing us to convert a certain amount each day.

Typical New Horizons behaviour...

Yeah its not worth it. There are so many ways to make bells faster than just relying on that. I know how you can earn Poki faster, you just go and add a Roommate to a random villager, say that you're done and then you earn more Poki. Its kinda broken if you ask me.

True! That's a good tactic lol. Luckily I don't need the bells, I just wanted to clear out my poki since my online is gonna expire in the fall. But I might as well just forget about converting lol. Too much work.

Thats fair, I stopped using Happy Home Paradise since I already unlocked the feature to customize villager homes on my island.

That's what I'm working towards! Two more houses to go and then bye lol. The game was fun though, no hate, just burnt out from binging to unlock everything.
 
Having to wait until the next day for items from the Nook Shopping/Miles Redemption and Wardell. Also, not being able to check what I've ordered that day. It's not the first time the next morning I've looked in my mailbox and found I've ordered 2 of something! 🫣
 
I have to say this yet again because I know its been said way so many times but I have to say it. When you talk to the villagers throughout the day it is true that you do see different dialogue of what the villagers say. which makes me think thats what the developers indented for you to do. Here's the problem those same topics get repeated the next day and you feel the villagers are stuck in this loop where they have to repeat what they say as if you didn't hear it the first time.

Another problem is that the villagers tend to repeat the same stuff whenever you visit their home inside. They always point out their furniture and it gets so annoying because you heard the first time so why would you need to hear it again? Its an issue where if you wanted to talk to your villagers to ask them for favors or if you just wanted them to say something else but then you often times get that "Oh I would like to talk to you but not right now" then you see that scribbly icon above their head meaning they don't want to talk to you.

From what I tested if you just save and quit the game then the villager will start talking to you again but I still find parts where the topics that they were talking about get repeated again. Almost as if they have to repeat the last thing they said. Again like I said before the problem with the dialogue in general is that it gets repeated everyday so those topics you had get repeated again as if you didn't hear it the first time. Its not the issue of what they say its how "Random" the game is when picking the dialogue. Even if the villagers do say different things throughout the day that does not excuse from the issue of the dialogue being repeated the next day.
