ACNH POSITIVITY Thread

[Sunshine :)]

Hi all- ACNH is the 1st video game that has ever made me happier the more I play it. I really look forward to times that I can set aside.

I started out playing on my daughter’s island during quarantine & it saved my sanity.

A week ago I got my own island and the excitement of building my very own place is so so so great! My initial villagers are Bud & Reneé and I just had Clyde & Aurora join yesterday. Celeste and Harvey were just strolling around last night while I shook trees, hit rocks, and fished. I’m enjoying every minute! Bianca moves in today. Yippee!!!

I'm so glad to have Monty back on my island. This is the 3rd time he's lived on one of my islands but I kept booting him for reasons like not matching the theme or he would offer to move when I needed an open plot. Gotta keep him around and earn his photo this time.

Also yesterday marked my one year anniversary of playing ACNH. Woot!

I really enjoy how at the beginning of the game you get to design your island from the ground up and how everything slowly evolves over time.

I find myself smiling in real life when a villager greets me in the game. There’s something about their excitement and friendliness that always cheers me up.

I'm loving the updated additions to the villagers' dialogue! It's kind of subtle and strewn about here and there, but definitely a noticeable and pleasant improvement~

I time traveled to June and rediscovered the fun of fishing. When the arapaima, arowana, and dorados are available, river fishing is much more fun. I also caught some sharks. Woot! I had forgotten that I started this main island last fall and that my character hadn't played late spring / early summer before. I was using NMT to search for Megan and didn't find Megan, but I caught 15 to 20 new critters for Blathers and the museum, so the NMT were not wasted.

Harv's Island is pretty underrated honestly. It's nice to be able to access everything I've ever catalogued, be able to just replicate it, and make cool looking rooms

I considered myself to be pretty creative decorating rooms in New Leaf, but I really love decorating in Horizons. I know we didn't get as much indoor furniture items or sets in Horizons, but I feel like my rooms just have so much more personality, and uniqueness. I think the extra patterns and mysterious wall papers and floors really helps. I also love a lot of the new wall papers sold at Nooks. Also, the fact that you can so easily go to your diy table and craft or customize furniture helps a lot.

Not only that its the best way to get Villager Posters.

I love how relaxing the game is. It really does make me feel like my mind can just relax a little bit

Thank you Marshal, and Kid Cat for never asking to leave! It makes me happy knowing you may love me that much ♡

I also just adore when my villagers come to sit with me when Im sitting. Its just the cutest thing

I still really like when they clap when I catch a bug.

I just got Megan on my second island.
Courtesy of littlemisspandas store on here (fully recommended buying from her if you're ever considering it)

Shes my second favourite villager in the game. Which is funny because she's the only normal villager I like.

My second island feels a lot more homely now and I'm a lot happier on there.

Its funny how small things like that can make an island.

(She is the best though, seriously, get Megan on your island, you won't regret it)

I love it so much when villagers play with the instruments that I have in my band area. Something about them playing along to the music is so cute and fun to watch.

I had my first thunderstorm on my island and I have to say the level of detail to make the storm realistic was amazing. I loved catching the various flashes of lightning directly above my island and in this distance too. Also the fact you still get lightning flashes from outside if you go inside your own house or a villagers just blew my mind.

I'm southern hemisphere and don't get snow on my island, but recently I opened my island and it was covered in a thick layer of fog like I've never seen! You could barely see in front of you.

I love that there are still little things I'm finding that I haven't seen before!

With the help of some kind members here in the community I finally got my boy Lyman's photo. I'm so happy! 4 months in the making, thank you all!

I agree with EVERYTHING said in this thread, ACNH really is a good game that I'm ever so happy to have.
Some of my personal reasons I love it would have to be:

• The graphics and all the villagers got SUCH a major glow-up compared to previous installments
• I like the personalities! They seem well balanced, like cranky villagers aren't too cranky, and peppy villagers aren't absolutely crazy
• Stuff like villagers smelling flowers, singing, eating lollipops, drinking smoothies, it's too cute
• The amount of effort put into small details, like for instance villagers will only drink smoothies/soda that matches the native fruit of your island, for example my island's native fruit is orange so I only see villagers drink orange soda
• The reactions are great, especially the fact that we've been getting new ones
• The museum is GORGEOUS
• Getting a new Able Sister's theme was refreshing
• While the music is quite different compared to other installments, I think it fits. After all we are on an island now instead of a small town
• Having friends over or going to other islands can be a lot of fun, like I can't help but take so many pictures
• Speaking of pictures, the camera feature is a godsend

The scenery in this game is genuinely beautiful. I can't count the amount of times I've just stood on the rocks at my beach staring out at the sky or sat on my park benches looking at the wind rustle through my trees and flowers.

Its so nice to see both North and South Hemisphere islands on how they are so different from each other! I am so glad I got a 2nd island to experience in the Southern Hemisphere.
