ACNH POSITIVITY Thread

It's so cool that we can make transparent designs, I've tried the default ones earlier and you can really add a lot with them.
 
  • Terraforming. We can design waterfalls!(and mountains, ponds, rivers)
  • Placing furniture outside and on the beach
  • Deciding where villagers houses go
  • Houses can be on the beach
  • Customizing furniture, I love the options
  • Easier to get the villagers I want
  • Graphics
  • Small details like rain hitting the windows, etc
  • Villagers interacting with their environment: watching a petal in the wind, following a bug, smelling the flowers, eating and drinking, studying plant life, reading, sitting on the ground, dusting, sweeping, visiting each other’s houses, yoga, dancing, singing, exercising, going about town with their shopping bags, etc
  • Celeste’s new role with the shooting stars
 
I gave Melba a set of round glasses I decided not to keep. She looked so adorable! I love it so much. Also, villagers can visit each other and it makes the island feel so much more lively.
 
Coco! I finally have coco on my island after a week of trying to get her. Was very lucky enough to find her on a mystery island 😊

maybe it’s just me, but the way she appears in NH is just super adorable!
 
I absolutely adore how the villagers interact with their environment more. Putting items outside is such a good edition because I love putting different things outside and watching how my villagers interact with them. Here's a list of my favorite things I've seen them do:
  • Falling asleep while they sit under trees, and sometimes waking up and realizing they've dozed off
  • Eating snacks or drinking sodas, usually sitting on chairs or under trees. My fav villager on my island rn is Snake, and I watched him eating a lollipop under a tree once and it was SO PRECIOUS 🥺
  • Watching butterflies as they fly past, and sometimes trying (and usually failing miserably) to catch them.
  • Being intrigued by a flower as they walk past it, and stopping to either sniff it or water it.
  • I have a basketball sitting near my plaza, and sometimes they'll bounce it a couple times and look happy.
  • That weird thing where they just... start what I can best describe as Naruto running for no reason? I don't really know why they do it but it's really cute.
The personality I've seen in all these little interactions have really made me fall in love with my villagers. They're so dopey and kinda dumb and I love it. They're fascinated by the simplest things and I find myself spending minutes watching them, they're just vibin' and enjoying life to the fullest.

On an unrelated note, I also love how real the weather feels now. Whenever it's raining, I feel like I need to put on a jacket cause I don't want my villager to be cold 🥺. And it's so much easier to change clothes now too, so it doesn't feel tedious to change either. I usually change my outfit every day and half my savings have gone to the Able Sisters lol.

So far, New Horizons has been my favorite Animal Crossing game. I've been playing it every day since I got it, and I haven't yet had a day where I didn't want to at least check in.
 
I'd like to add wolf villagers' wagging tails when they wave/are happy to my postivity post earlier :) kyle you are so precious
 
I'm finally starting to get fond of the music. It's not at a level of the other games but I'm sure in due time it will be.
 
Today was my favorite day playing NH so far. All of balloons contained presents, all of the stars in the ground had fossils, chopping trees gave me real wood, and all of the fish shadows were actually fish. It felt like such a breath of fresh air. Our long nightmare is finally over. Plus I unlocked terraforming today after having to wait an extra day, so I got to go nuts with that.
 
I love the 2am and 7am music soooo much. I also love the mum and hyacinth flowers they've added to the game. Normally my favorite is roses but I'm seriously considering filling my town with mums and hyacinths too!
 
Thank you so much for this thread!! About a week ago I looked at the Rant thread.. what a mistake that was.

I love this game, it's beautiful, hybrids grow like crazy, there's so many great QoL updates, being able to put furniture outside is awesome, and I get to visit my mom in game which is rad because we live in different hemispheres in real life, so I rarely get to see her these days. I am considering making her a complete New Horizons guide though as she's not very video game savvy.

What else do I like?? TOns, honestly tons. The hourly music is pretty groovy. The magic wand is fun. The fact that the island has layers to it is amazing.

My favorite part, possibly may be the fact that there are in-game pathways now. They look so natural. I also love that the grass does not degrade at all over time. Terraforming is rad

edit; AND many villagers have PAWS now!!!!
 
I just came across a couple of my villagers skipping around humming my island tune today. Not the usual singing you get when you talk to them, but Isabelle kind of humming. IT'S. SO. CUTE. <3
 
5PM music has me CAPTIVE

This game have given me the old animal crossing nostalgic feeling back. I haven't been this relaxed while playing a game in years. Absolutely in love with everything this game got. I could fish and bug catch for hours. ♥

++++ Also… stalking the villagers around town is hillarious. Followed Elvis around last night, it was such a ride. One second he was reading a book in peace, two minutes later he stomps around furious because Apple insulted his fashion sense.
 
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 love being able to put custom designs on top of paths to make chalk designs and stuff like that, same with being able to put designs on the beach!
I love how the villagers build a wardrobe of the items you give them and rotate it daily
 
The ability to dig up trees to move elsewhere has been a truly useful feature. When I first saw it showcased in the trailer, I thought it was a bit absurd, but I have been using it a lot to get the right scenery in places, and love it.
