ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

That we can't give customised items to villagers. I really wanted to give Buck a Buck themed cushion and a laptop with his photo on the screen, but couldn't.

No more storing gyriods with Brewster or working for him. Not being able to have a “do not disturb” sign or option for your house. Not being able to choose what color or style your island’s buildings come in (beside your house and other’s, if you have the happy home paradise add on). I wanted mine to have a Polynesian theme for the buildings and rest of the island.

This reminds me of how much of a pain it is that we can't store bushes in the storage. My town is full of them and I can't tell what type they are since they're all just plain green. So I have to dig each one up, thus using more of my shovel.

I dislike it that I can't place things when I have visitors over. Like if I want to give someone a piece of art, I'd like to be able to place so we can check to make sure I'm giving a genuine piece, not a fake. Another peeve is not being able to customize clothing and shoes. And I wish we could go to mystery islands and Kappn islands with other players. And of course, more mini games than just bug and fish and sea creature catching.

Most of the eyes in general on Animal Crossing look weird. On every game, I really only like one type of eyes, maybe two. Maybe they work for some people, but I think they’d look off for my character.

The footstep sounds for custom designs really bother me and are the sole reason I don't use them on my island

 

[maria110]

I wish the game included mechanics for knowing what you have and what you still need. For example, there are blanks in my Critterpedia and I have to go online to find out what I'm missing and what time of year I need to get them. Ditto for DIYs and catalog items. It would be nice to have the game info available in the game.

Why that we don’t have perfect fruits?

Those and the tropical fruits. I miss them. They'd add such a great aesthetic to our islands.

Started working on my island again. And it's annoying how many obstacles I had to work around to just do simple things. Like I want some creepy music to play around a spooky part of my island. But nope, let's just blast the hourly music at an obnoxious level. It doesn't matter if I have a radio playing some song. As soon as I take 1 step away the hourly theme wants to scream.

So I had to hide some radios all around to try to stop the hourly theme and it barely works because it keeps trying to bleed through. It's like an obnoxious person that doesn't know when to shut up.


In one part of my island I needed to have a 1st tier part at the northern most section of the island. Except it's mostly 2 and 3rd tier. So I had to go alllll the way where there was a 1st tier part, erase some rivers, and tunnel my way like a rat to where I wanted to start. And that's not even getting started. That's just getting to that point and then I have to also clean up the prep-tunnel I made and recreate the river spots.

You're telling me they couldn't have a option for the terraforming where you can select to terraform up or down???

Yea I really don’t get why we can’t have an option to turn off the hourly music. Sometimes it seems so loud and is the only thing I hear. Having an on off button for hourly music would be great. I have the same problem in my farm area.


Terraforming should definitely have been done differently. I would love if you could dig down a level. Would save so much time.

 

[Corrie]

I wish you could turn the hourly music off but still have sounds effects. Playing it with no sound at all feels weird but the hourly music really blows. If you could have Wild World's hourly music, it would be perfect.

Agreed. I don't remember any of the other games having the music be so loud and obnoxious. It was called background music for a reason. I don't know if its the instruments that just don't work with the theme of the game or it is just louder, but it does not mesh.

The waterfalls also need to chill out lol. They just added or removed a lot of sounds and for the worst. Like there is no sound on custom qrs, but in NL the custom qrs just kept the ground's current SE so it would sound like ground, leaves, or snow. Which is better than just silent running feet.

Right now I am trying to terraform and whenever I bother it is so obvious how horrible it was implemented. They tout it as game-breaking, but other games were doing this before them and made it so much easier. Minecraft, ect. Whoever thought people wanted to do everything painstakingly slow, grid by grid, is out of their mind.

I don't like the instruments they chose here. They just clash imo, and don't sound nice. Most of the songs are just renditions of the title screen song which I also don't like. Just lazy.

I adored the bare feet slapping against the ground running sound! I really don't know why they opted to make custom paths silent. Where's the logic in that? I wanted to use The Path, but having no sounds? So lame. I'm choosing the dirt path now and like you said, laying down square by square is the stupidest 2020 design choice ever. Like how outdated are the mechanics in this game.

 

[Lullabynny]

I wish there was a brick path that matches the brick bidge. It's my favorite bridge to use, but all the regular paths don't match it and make it clash. I did manage to find a nice custom path that matches it, but the sound custom paths make just feels off to me and breaks the immersion just a tiny bit

I spent way too much time terraforming in this game today lol. It really needs a QoL update. It wouldn't had taken nearly as long if they didn't make it feel like it was made in the early 2000s. The mechanics that is.

Seeing it come along at the end was nice, but there was so much back and forth and unnecessary complications that made the process not very enjoyable. Yes the pwps in NL are abysmal, but it's not nearly as overly complicated as NH's new mechanics are. So it was never as much of a headache as this crap is.

 

[Corrie]

WHYYYYYYY!??!?!!!!!!! So I went to change my paths to the dirt ones in game and guess what, the stupid things allow flowers to grow on it! I have flowers all over my town so now my paths are littered with flowers I have to dig up. There goes that idea.

 

[maria110]

I'm peeved that I spent time crafting fish bait and will probably only catch black bass and sea bass with it. Like it's a waste of precious life moments to make the bait and to keep catching useless fish.

If you have a Nintendo Online subscription, you can go online at the custom design portal in Able's and search for "clear" to find a clear path tile and lay clear path over the in game dirt paths. I've been doing that to keep flowers in control and it has saved me a lot of time.

You're a lifesaver, thank you!!

The process of looking up custom desgins, adding them to you collection takes waaaaay too long. Also there's still not enough space ;;
