ACNH POSITIVITY Thread

Is anyone else just happy to be playing a new Animal Crossing that just looks so good? Getting back into the daily cycle of shopping and earning money feels so natural too. Sometimes it feels so unreal with all of the hype we've had. ☺
 
As I type this post, my player character is looking up at the night sky. It's gorgeous!

I love staring at it. This is the kind of night sky I never get to see where I live because I'm on the equator, living in a country with an uncomfortably high population density and where the light pollution is pretty bad. The only time I've ever seen so many stars in the sky was nearly two decades ago when I was being a tourist in South Africa. I looked up, literally stopped in my tracks and marvelled at the sight. Sooo beautiful. I really love that I get to see these amazing night skies again in ACNH.
 
The game makes me feel so at peace, especially if I'm feeling a bit down or stressed. The animals are so cute in this game, it legit makes me want to cry. I loooove when they sing or smile doing mundane things; they just lift my mood.
 
I want to piggyback from what Lisha said. I used to get a bit anxious planning my island. But then I realized I'm only playing the game for myself and not for other people. I do want my island to look a certain way, but I'd rather that happen progressively. In the meantime, I want to enjoy the game for what it is and it's helped me relax and take my mind off from the current (disastrous) scenario we're living in. It's also been a nice getaway from work (feeling burnt out already from remote work).
 
Yesterday when I (my character, Ciaran) visited Ursala, Bea was there. The thumb piano that I gave Ursala a couple of weeks ago was on a table. Bea stood and played it for a few minutes while my husband and I watched and listened, fascinated. and delighted!
 
Walked by Kabuki playing a ukelele I put outside today. So cute! His hobby is music so it makes sense but I hadn't seen that before. I put a bunch of instruments in his yard after I saw that :)
 
Pretty sure this has been mentioned already in previous comments:
the way your character runs.
I LOVE how your character no longer runs in that 'girly' (??) way like they did in ACNL (when you choose to be a girl).
Yeah I know it's kinda nitpicking....but kudos to Nintendo for this change!! (y)(y)
 
I love love love visiting others islands. That’s why I trade a lot too. And i’ve had a few people who I have traded with that has a one piece themed island or a tribute to it. Be it only a flag or costumes of the strawhat members. It’s just so wholesome to see from a fan. Just tonight I traded with someone who specifically had a zoro themed island with the town tune and all.

-Growing hybrids in this game is just as addicting as ever! I especially love that they added new species of flowers, that's even more hybrids for me to grow!
-I love that the trees/flowers sway in the breeze when it's windy in town.
-Visiting friends in this game has been such a blast. Like it was pretty good in New Leaf but in this game it's just so great!
-I like the new stuff they've added to decor and houses, especially the stuff that was carried over from HHD like rugs and sub-spaces in houses.
-Overall the game looks really nice and has been a relaxing experience for me when I've needed to take a break, especially during this stressful time :)

-Yes, thanks for reminding me how much I look forward to seeing my new flowers each day!
-Rugs! I never played HHD but I was intrigued by the idea of having rugs, and they are wonderful! I just discovered today that I can put a rug on top of a carpet! Love the look!
 
there are so so so many things I love about this game, so many things have been improved when you compare it to the old games

• placing furniture outside and terraforming.. the creativity it gives is amazing, I have been decorating non-stop!
• I love that you can get dressed by using a closet (or a fridge lol), it's so convenient and easy to make cute outfits!
• I love the exteriors of the villager houses, they look so good! really ads to the town vibe you want to create
• the furniture is adorable, all those different colors are really a dream as in the old games I likes certain series but not their color
• the rugs - really puls a room together! and the 'moving' wallpaper and flooring (like the cloud floor or rainy wall) so pretty!
• the new flowers! I LOVE the hyacints so much omg and the lillies wow
• visiting others, I really never did this in New Leaf but now I'm so happy that I do now! it's so fun with the outdoor furniture
• I also really enjoy showing others my island, makes it worth the effort I put into it so much more!
• the sunrise, the sunset, nighttime ... it's so amazing and I love making screenshots of those beautiful views
• the sound when you run over different floors.. aahhhh so good!
 
I love it when my villagers run around with their arms out, it is so cute! I also love how the designs of all of the villagers have been improved, there are so many of them I thought I'd never like that are now my favourites.

Also should add the sounds effects for different surfaces! I love to echoing sound in the museum and the metal sound on the steel staircases etc

I don't know where to put this but I guess it's sorta related? It's about being positive. :p

If you use the delight emotion towards Wilbur before going on an island tour it's supposed to increase your chance of getting a rarer island.

Don't know if doing it more than once increases the chance though, I just saw a Youtube video about it.

Edit: So I just tested it, I think you need to keep using the delight emotion until he blushes. It's probably not enough if he claps back or does anything other than blush.

I am going to try this...thanks! I would like to see the rarer islands!

It unfortunately doesn't work, confirmed by datamining. It is cute though 😊

Anyway, I love nearly everything about this game. I'll turn it on and just run around my island, not really accomplishing anything, because it's so relaxing.

This game is a massive step forward for the series, and I can't wait to see where updates take it!
