@CanuckChick I don't remember Wild World all that well even though I do own it. But I know what you mean by the ambience of nature and its surroundings that make the atmosphere have such life. That's why I would put my villager closer to the beach/ocean because the game would lower the background music so that it didn't overpower the sound of the waves.
Thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes I do have trouble falling asleep at night. Which I don't mind when the next day is my day off, but it's horrible when I have work since I get up so early as it is lol. I'll have give him a try, thank you! I probably should also look into those cheap sleep machines or something.
Speaking of footsounds. I liked how in NL that depending on if you had shoes on or not that the sound on the concrete plaza would be different. I love little things like that. It's probably in NH to, but I never take my shoes off lol.
