ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

The Leo DIY being a wall item is bugging me. Most of the time it doesn’t but I’m planning for when I restart my second island. I want to make an area with the zodiac items from Celeste outside but can’t since Leo is wall hanging. I can’t figure out what item would be good to replace it with. It’s too bad we can’t hang items on the side of cliffs.
It’s one of the few times I wish I could bring over some pocket camp items since these scepters would be great.

I wanted to create a single room home (fully expanded) and be able to decorate the exterior so it matches the theme. But noooo I need to make the house have all the rooms for that feature. This game is so annoying. It praises itself as the most design friendly of the lot, but it also handcuffs you at the same time.

Yea I don’t really understand that. You should be be able to make your house whatever size you want. I still wish I could change the room sizes . I don’t need the basement that big. I would rather have the back room bigger so I could make a nice kitchen. It weird having the kitchen in the basement.

Yeah you should be able to pick which room you want to do at any time and not be stuck doing it in such a rigid pattern. Maybe someone just wants a main and basement.

In order for me to change the outside/exterior, I need to complete all the rooms. Main, 3 sides, attic, basement, in order for me to have the options to change the outside siding, roof, ect. It's not cool. I wanted to do a main room and have it look abandoned from the outside. Now I have to block off the other rooms if I really want to do that.

I can see them wanting the main room fully expanded. After that you should be able able you change the exterior. People could do more with this game if there wasn’t so many restrictions.
 
i don't like how slow it is to develop your island. like, that you can't mass edit your island but have to do it one square at a time. it makes the idea of changing the island so daunting.
 
Day 547 or so of me wishing that fossils, glowing spots, branches, and boulders would no longer show up if you didn't want them to. Weeds aren't as bad but I'm so sick of digging up fossils!!!!
 
For a game all about designing, they sure failed. Why can't we do it like we did in the Sims with the bird's eye grid system?
i agree! it felt like it was a lot easier to design your island even in new leaf. i would kill for an update where they made island designing more acceptable or accessible.

Only 6 fossils can be buried at a time, so if you find all 6 and bury them somewhere on the island, such as behind a cliff, you'll never see them again.

Piggybacking off what JKDOS said, I dropped about 11 - 13 ish range of sticks in a forest area and haven't had anymore sticks spawn on my island. Obviously you can just put them behind a cliff or something but I used mine for decoration. They still will appear if you shake the trees but not having them spawn on my island has been a blessing.

I still wish that after you got your star rating to 3 or higher that spare resources would stop generating randomly unless you interacted with the source.

It's annoying that we can't go into a grid mode like HHP. If you want furniture on top of another piece outside, good luck getting it at just the right angle/turn.


I was contemplating whether I wanted to expand one of my alt character's home's all the way so I could customize the exterior. I can maybe understand not being able to customize it until the main room is fully expanded, but why must we purchase all the rooms? I just wanted to make an abandoned creepy house and put it on the far north of the island in a deeply woodsy area. Just a small one room home. Not a mansion.

Now I can't customize it for that theme unless I expand it all the way. And I'm tired of having to work around all these restrictions. Why does a game that prides itself on designing (literally the only thing it has going for it) feel like it has to handcuff and cage us at every turn?

I never expanded the homes on NL all the way and I could customize my homes. This game is really just disappointing if I'm being honest.

Remember when everyone was trashing others for TTing and saying "the developers want you to play this way!" It really does feel like they want you to play a certain way. The game prides itself as a highly customizable experience but in reality, like you said, you're being dragged along by a chain around your ankle. It's unfortunate.

The designing outside is far better than the PWPs in NL but it's still leagues behind. The Sims had the grid system figured out in the early Playstation era. I have no idea what's going on with the AC team.

Might step on some toes saying that, but the majority who were gatekeeping it this way were new to the series.

I wouldn't have such an issue with some of the setbacks I am dealing with if they weren't possible in the previous games. Not only are you forced to expand the home fully to customize it's exterior, but the amount of options are cut way back from NL. I remember off the top of my head, mermaid, toy, fantasy, astro, sweet, and shanty (derelict-like) off the top of my head.

The rooms are all different set sizes whereas the other games let you expand them up to 3 times each and you choose which one of them you wanted first. You weren't stuck doing the main all the way and then doing whichever room it is that Nook wants you to do after. You want the main and a basement, great!

It really does suck to go from what we had to less content. Yes, we did get a lot of QoL updates and I am all for those, but NL is 10 years old this year, so it honestly makes sense that they'd do better with the next version as far as QoL goes. But it's not even like they fixed all QoL, made some worst, and added more. Now that all tools break we don't even get an indicator. Yet, the ax had one in the previous games.

😮 that's such a good idea!!! I might do that!
 
I really wish at the end of everyone month they give us a mini fashion update with new clothes and accessories and so on....

I wouldn't even be mad if it was the same clothing you can get in pocket camp... I wouldn't be annoyed that they just made it again but for new horizons.

I just want some more cute dresses and some more gothic fashion.....
