Grass deterioration
Grass deterioration, also known as animal tracks (from the Japanese term けもの道 kemono michi), desire lines or grass wear, is a feature introduced in City Folk. The game is able to keep track of the player's movements throughout the town and will wear down the grass accordingly. Whereas the...

In real life, maybe, but in the game, it's all random, and they teleport around. They are all over the place.

Thank you so much OP for this 
Positivity is what we need currently in time of global pandemic, not negativity. The game has its shortcomings but I'm still having so much fun playing it everyday. I'm gonna try to make this one positive post per day to help this topic always bumped up 
+1 - I love New Horizons because it provides us with DIY recipes, instead of just buying from the shop. And we can customise them. I haven't crafted furnitures much but I love finding recipes from the balloons, bottles, NPCs and villagers. Usually they are listed as hot item of the day, so craft them as many as we can for that extra bells.

I think the new Hot Item mechanic is really neat. There are times where items are a pain to craft, but when you get lucky and it's an easy item you can make a fair amount of cash for practically nothing.

Yeah, I really like checking it everyday. it won't make us bells rich, but enough to get some new clothes from Able Sisters and donate for bridges

I really like to just watch my villagers. One evening, I noticed that Lionel and Butch had some kind of disagreement in the town square. Lionel was stomping around upset for a minute or two and Butch started singing. After Lionel calmed down, he started singing too, right next to Butch, both happy and having a good time. (They were singing something really cute like K.K. Bubblegum)
It sort of just goes to show that even if we have our disagreements, folks can still be friends.

I've been thinking of trying to make a definitive list of what I like about NH and this is what I've come up with so far.
1. I love that I can invite someone over and know that they don't have the authority to do much in my town. I don't have to worry about them chopping down trees. I don't have to worry about them accidentally smashing my rocks and profiting from my money rock themselves if they find it. I can take a load off when my little brother is in town because I know he can't steal my flowers or accidentally trample them which means my hybrids are very safe. This sort of security is what people have been asking for since NL.
2. I don't mind that they restricted fruit back to apples, pears, oranges, cherries, peaches, and coconuts. It makes it feel like there is more room on the island. Sure, I do kinda miss mangos and lemons, but I can live without them.
3. I love the dialogue. I did a test with Sherb yesterday and I had to talk to him about 10 times in a row before he made any hint that he might have been getting tired of me. And he didn't even get mad or refuse to talk to me yet. There wasn't any repeating dialogue either. This makes me feel better about talking to my villagers. In New Leaf, I didn't talk to my villagers more than five times a day because they would get tired of me. Especially my favorites.
4. I love that they made the NMT islands varied. I haven't gotten a tarantula island yet, but I have been to islands where I could just hunt man faced stink bugs and that raked in a lot of bells. It is much more interesting for me than just beetle hunting because the islands are bigger and there is more available to do even if it is just gathering materials.
5. I'm glad I can count on balloons spawning at regular intervals. They seem to be there more often at every five minutes than they were every ten minutes at New Leaf. When I wanted to balloon hunt in NL I would get bored fairly quickly because the wait time between balloons was so long unless it was a special slingshot.
6. I am so glad that even though we are on an island, we are not stuck on a purely tropical island. It would be so boring to just be stuck in summer all the time and I love the change in seasons. Summer in NL is lush and beautiful, but it was my least favorite season in the game. I am actually looking forward to summer in NH.
7. Storage in my house! I am so glad we can store things in our house. The only thing that would make it better was if certain containers could store certain things, but having an upgradable storage is huge compared to NL!
8. Speaking of storing things, I am so glad that I can finally put furniture outside on my island. I am collecting butterflies for Flick's models and it is so easy to keep track of what I have when I can put them all on the beach in groups of three. Plus, I don't have to worry about anybody picking them up as long as they are placed down which means I don't have to worry about them disappearing if I have strangers or my little brother on my island.
9. I hated MEOW tickets in NL, but for some reason Nook Miles and Nook Miles Plus is really fun to have the option of doing. If I want to play and get stuck on what to do on my island next, I just fulfill a few NM+ goals and get rewarded for it.
10. I'm glad you can see what the wallpaper and flooring looks like in the store without having to have Timmy or Tommy display it for you in the store. It makes it easier to check to see if you have it if you don't remember the name of the item.
11. I like that I can choose when or even if to have a ceremony. Sometimes I just want to place my next PWP without having a ceremony just yet. Tom lets me pick and choose what I want to have and when I want to have it. In many ways, I feel much more in charge in NH than I ever did in NL.
12. Isabelle's no news day announcements are quite cute and always bring a smile to my face.
13. I am not told the time every time I boot up the game. I am trusted to be able to look at the clock and tell the time myself.
I could probably go on, but I'm going to stop there for now.

Another little thing that I absolutely LOVE about my game in particular: it seems like every time I see Olaf he's peeking at one of my flowers/trees with a magnifying glass. I just think it's really funny and adorable lmao.

I love the fact that things can be placed on top of paths AND custom designs! Fruit and presents disappearing on custom paths before was one reason I didn't have many in my town.
It's a little unfortunate that you can still kick them away with Y even when using the permit, but thankfully your character tends to pick up things around it first instead of kicking it away accidentally.

That reminds me -- I saw Gayle the other day reading some sort of horticulture book and studying some weeds on my island! Soo cute! I love how the villagers are much more livelier. Even little details like when their eyes move down to look at bugs on the ground makes a difference

All the little animations are so nice! When you catch a flea off a villager, the villager does a little bend when they are hit. That didn't happen in New Leaf. They just kinda stood there like a wall.

I'm not sure if this has been said yet because i dont 100% keep up with this thread but i watched a video someone made (i think it was called something like wholesome sound design in animal crossing new horizons, you should just be able to google it) and it made me realise how well thought out the entire sound design in this game is. It's so incredibly immersive and peaceful and i just love it to death

I can't imagine a time where the villagers just walked around and nothing more. It is so surreal how lively everyone is whether they're just sitting down beneath a tree, drinking juice on a bench, or running around the plaza with their arms stretched out for hours.
It's such a minor thing, but it's my favorite feature of this game by far. It's allowed me to connect so much more with villagers I never expected.

I just found out today that you can display your custom patterns on other Ables Sister stores. I left my baby Yoda shirt on my husband's island today and didn't tell him. I hope his villagers start wearing it soon. I think it is really cute and now I want to collect different designer's patterns to put in my store. I'm not sure if they have to do it or if I can do it though. I have to try and see with the one custom pattern I have that I didn't design myself.

Yes!!! I found MEOW tickets soooo annoying but Nook Miles is one of my favourite aspects of NH!meggiewes said:
Today Broffina was at Tad's house and she was singing to his radio. This was the first time I've seen villagers sing. She sang all the way until the second-last note of the song, and then on the LAST note, she stopped! Why? Because she decided to turn around and take a sniff of the lunchbox on his table! It was so funny

I really love how much time I've been playing the game. I remember with previous titles, I'd play 1-2 hours a day and eventually run out of things to do. I feel like I can play almost all day in NH and still have fun and exciting things to look forward to. I've seen people try to get to a 5-star rating or finish the museum as fast as possible, but to me, those are things I really want to take my time to get.
