ACNH POSITIVITY Thread

I really love how the game looks. It seriously pops. The team behind the graphics really did a fantastic job.
I also really like the weather effects. Seeing the trees shaking due to the wind, it’s just those little details which adds so much personality??

I enjoy the new way to find villagers then RNG hoping. (plus having a similar concept to Wild world, City folk, game cube) where the houses can only be placed in one area. Not appearing anywhere and bulldozing an area.

I also enjoy the aspect of designing your Island. Even though I’m not good at it and bluff my way through it. The progression you see from day 1 to now is just? Fun?? Plus you can change it up whenever.
 
Honestly, the more I've seen people say they prefer NL over NH, the more I started wondering if I should play NL again. I just picked it up to see how much I like it. And yeah... I really prefer NH tbh. I feel like, even though I never completed the catalogue or the fish and bugs collections in NL, I still... did everything I felt compelled to do. I mean, I played this game on and off since 2013, never finished my town, and didn't play everyday, whilst in NH I have played every single day since launch and I do feel determined to eventually get my whole island full of stuff. I think it's the level of customization for me, even despite the lack of objects in NH, I feel much more unhinged when it comes to decorating. Also, I just think I got tired of NL long ago. I never liked its music so I don't have that nostalgia, either. I feel about NL now the same thing I felt about Wild World and City Folk after NL came out. I guess everyone has its preferences, but even with the lack of content, I still really enjoy and much prefer NH. Idk, there's something about the game that just has me hooked.

See I loved NL and its music, but yet I still had a similar experience; I kept playing on and off and always restarted because I was never happy with my town. I also didn't care at all about bugs or fish and couldn't care less about the museum. But for whatever reason, NH just gets me. I've been playing non-stop and I keep coming up with new ideas to keep me engaged. It's like you said; the sheer amount of customization despite the lack of items really sells this game for me, and I've been playing NH for so long and so vigourously that I could see it being apart of my daily routine for the next couple of years!
 
I found Piper on a mystery island. She's adorable and her house is great. I can't wait to plant some interesting flowers around her house.
 
Some little details that I like:

* The way your player character moves their head depending on where your "hand" is on your pockets. They tilt their big heads side to side.

* It's adorable that you can start the Wisp quest by using the Scare emoji near it.

* If its dark outside, using your Nookphone will cast a little light on your face.

* The new Confetti reaction is affected by the wind, so the little confetti will fly on different directions depending on where its used.

* On a similar note, the Confetti machine also follows the same interaction, so you get unlimited confetti flying

* The surprised face of an islander when you buy an expensive item they were watching on Nook's Cranny.
 
I like that Isabelle mentioned someone's birthday. Cause I might forget so its nice to have her remind me on the day of. I don't know if she did that in NL when you booted up. She might had, I just can't remember.
 
Double post I know, but it's almost a day apart. I know I can criticize the game for things I wish they had done differently and or cut content, but I like that the game is still calm enough to enjoy and chill with.

I don't play it everyday, but when I do I usually have fun enough just messing around and chilling and that's something that helps. Especially because late last year and this year has been pretty hard on me. I don't know if it just took me longer to have the whole pandemic and lockdown hit me because I have been working or it's something else underlying or just winter on top of covid is hard on me right now, but it's nice to have something like this to unwind with. Yeah it's not going to fix it all, but it helps at least.
 
Some of the hourly themes are underappreciated IMO. :,)

got burnt out last october and finally coming back and now motivated than ever to actually finish my island! this is such a very relaxing and fun game to play especially when i'm stressed due to online classes and school works so this has been my escape ever since i came back playing, my time is still set on december though since i want to catch up on all the events i missed when i was gone lol hopefully i could finally finish my island and get a lot of inspiration!
 
I was making my circuit of the island for morning chore and got to the flamingo nesting ground. The weeds changed today! They have yellow flowers and are taller.
 
I love how the game is going about celebrating the Lunar New Year. This reminds me of the smaller holidays in past games, such as St. Patrick's Day and Explorer's Day. I don't need every holiday to be a big celebration, but I do appreciate it being mentioned upon starting up the game. I also appreciate even more that the villager actually talk about it. I don't personally celebrate the Lunar New Year, but I love any holiday, so I enjoy getting to experience it a little bit in Animal Crossing.

I really hope they continue to do this with future holidays. I don't like how so many have been relegated to Nook Shopping items with absolutely no mention of them from Isabelle or the villagers. The world feels so much more alive when events are talked about even when there is no big celebration.
 
I’ve said before on other threads that I hated NH’s music. I was bored to today and I decided to give the music a chance by listening to it on YT. I changed my mind, some of the hourly music isn’t all that terrible and I actually like most of it.

I've been having the same reaction. My problem seems to be more that the music when I play with the sound on is either the tracks I don't like, or the ones they used for the trailers that got sort of overplayed, lol. But I really like a lot of the night time music.

i usually play around the same times, so im constantly hearing the same music and those are the tracks i dislike the most. i never wake up in the very early mornings, which happens to have my favorite music that plays. maybe its because we arent listening to everything usually ? thats why @ItzNotNatzDuh ended up liking the music when they listened to every track. just a thought !
 
I love that no matter how many times you talk to a jock, they’re just like really happy to see you. I talk to Dom probably 5-6 times a day and he never gets annoyed. Jocks are super underrated ❤️

I agree! As someone who is very much the opposite of a jock (I hate working out and don’t follow sports or anything) the jocks have really won me over. They are just so sweet and happy and enthusiastic. They are so encouraging too. They are such good friends.
