ACNH POSITIVITY Thread

[Raz]

You know what's great about ACNH? ground texture sounds. I love crunching the snow. This year's winter has been warm where I live and I didn't get to stomp around in wet snow at all. I get to do that in Animal Crossing! I also love that different shoes change what sound you make when you walk!

One thing that I've said to a few friends who were new to AC during launch week: the attention to detail in this game is ridiculous. It's even bigger than it was in New Leaf and you can see, listen and read it everywhere in the game.

The way wind interacts with items (not only flowers or trees, but clothes on clotheslines and drying racks, for example) is one of those things that we didn't know we wanted, but it's so good to have in the game that I can't think of NH without it. Or how the Nooklings decorate the exterior of their shop according to the season (or event, in the case of Halloween).

Even insects are now super detailed, with different kinds of butterflies having completely different flight patterns (compare how a great purple emperor, an agrias butterfly, queen Alexandra and a common white butterfly flies around, you'll understand what I'm saying). Every kind of cicada has its own kind of sound, the blue weevil beetle curls into a ball and drops from the tree when it's fleeing from you... AC is about these little details, and many people apparently take them for granted and can't see the whole picture.

last night I visited a bunch of dream towns. I think Luna sent me to younger players towns. Here's what I experienced.

- Furniture Willy nilly.
-Funny town names like - New Horizons- Anywhere- Eggtown- Honey gear. The honey gear town had lots of gears in the house and honey patterns. The outside had gear and honey patterns too.
-Wierd names for the characters like, Poo Poo, Hotel, two characters with the same name, and John Norman, which I'm thinking is the players first and last name.
-funny paths that the player made and had placed them Willy nilly all over town.
- Lots of bugs and fish placed where ever inside and out.

these towns made me smile. It reminded me that younger players enjoy the game and just do whatever they like. They don't care if their towns are perfect or you tube material. They just have fun playing.

I'm currently taking a short hiatus from the game, but I'm so glad this positivity thread is brought back up once more. I'm just really happy that Queenie, who is tied for being my favourite villager on my island, is still wearing the clover dress I gave her back somewhere in July. It's not fitting during the winter, but seeing her wear it from time to time makes me smile (though she may give it back one day which will shatter me rip). Also, I love how the snow textures at night reflect the light ever so slightly.

Oh there’s also one other thing I love: the villagers singing. Right now Marina is singing and the animation is just perfect, her round mouth(?) seems a musical instrument

Seeing villagers change up their look depending on the weather (rain hat and coat while it's raining, knit cap/hat while it's snowing) is something that still makes me smile every time I see it.

I honestly love how every villager is happy to see you each day, and worry if they haven't seen you after a few days. My first ac game, so this is more special to me lol

Also seeing my villager eat, its one of my favorite things in life +_+

Some little things I love about ACNH:

• Villagers' actions relating to their hobbies
• Villagers taking pictures of things with their NookPhone
• Terraforming, although it gets a bit tedious
• The clothes are so much cuter
• The interior decorating mechanism upgrade
• Not having to worry about villagers moving out randomly
• The museum is beautiful

I love that they didn't get rid of Amiibo connectivity. It is another way to get DIYs and it can be helpful at times. Better yet, they aren't necessary to play the game. They are just a nice little cherry on top if you have them.

Wade just moved in, and he is the sweetest roundest boy. T_T

Thinking back over this past year, NH came to me at a point where I was feeling very unsure of everything, feeling like the world was falling apart before my eyes, but this let me have something positive to focus on. My friends and I were able to see each other virtually, laugh about our shenanigans... and, my one group even planned a surprise star party for me after I got my first 4.0 of my grad program!

Even if most of my friends have stopped playing, it has given me so much time with friends and family that I feel very grateful to the development team. I can grouse about things that aren't quite where I want them to be, but NH will always have a certain feel, a certain place in time, in my heart.

Hyacinths are the best flower!

I'm not a huge fan of the snow on the ground, but when the weather is snowing, everything just looks so much more beautiful.

And the villagers look so cute in their peacoats and stocking hats.

I love how island hopping works. It’s a great way to meet a villager in-person!

I just booted up my game and it is snowing out. But, the awesome thing is that I can see it snowing outside of the window during Isabelle's announcement!

I enjoy nighttime in the game. The quiet music and sparkly sky. It's very pretty and peaceful.

I love my villagers. So much. Sometimes I only play so I can say hi to my villagers and then I clock out.

I am so happy to see other people that feel this way. The only reason why I played for a bit on the 14th was because it was Velma's birthday. There was no way I was missing it!

I agree, especially with winter, things are so pretty lit up if you have nova lights, illuminated items, or just some of the frozen pieces out.

I like how Sahara scratches herself.

I haven't seen actual snowfall in a while. I noticed today that snow lands on the beach, his it, and instantly melts away like footprints do. I had always assumed that it just kinda snowed and didn't interact with the sand at all.

Yes, I highly approve of this thread. I'm so sick of the negativity as well.

I love the fact that we can move villager houses whenever and wherever we like.
I also love when my villagers get together and sing or do yoga at the plaza. I think it's adorable
I really love the clothing so much more in this game.
The museum is just *chefs kiss*
