Do you think island modification is too much? 🥺

[abhelcenteno]

I know it gives us freedom to modify our island but you know it’s a big responsibility and a little bit overwhelming.

 

[Xara]

nah - it’s a lot of new features to process but i think it’ll help a lot of players out a lot

 

[silasthevillager]

it probably wont allow you to totally change everything,

 

[Mars Adept]

Not really since you need a permit to do it.

Also, the fact that we can do more as a random deserted island resident than as a mayor in New Leaf is hilarious.

 

[Scrafty]

no, i'm so excited to see what town layouts people come up with. i love all the freedom

 

[Aubrey895]

No I’m so excited

 

[Romaki]

No, it's not like you have to use any of those features if you don't want to. I'm excited to customize every corner of my island!

 

[Wickel]

I think it's cool! But I like the way it starts as well. I'm not super creative so I'm not sure (yet) if I'll use it much. I also like to just work with what I have. But it would be so cool to create a little pond with a waterfall next to my house! I can't wait for the game, everything looks so much better than I ever could have imagined.

I like that you don't HAVE to use it, you don't start out with a square piece of land where you just get to go and plop down some rivers, that wouldn't be my thing. It's totally optional and I love that.

 

[Garrett]

No, I don't. It's an optional extra which can be easily ignored by those who don't care for it and enjoyed by those who do.

 

[Ghoste]

I like that it’s optional! You don’t HAVE to use them if you think it’d be overwhelming to you I think it’s just a cool feature to be able to use if you choose. I’m sure you can still make a stunning island without modifying the cliffs and stuff. It will be so cool to see how everyone chooses to decorate their land.

 

[DJStarstryker]

I love it. The fact that New Leaf had so much more customization than previous games is what made me like that game so much, but this is even more customizable than New Leaf. That makes me super excited. It's actually way more interesting than what villagers or NPCs are in the game for me personally.

 

[Bosca]

Absolutely not, as many said it's optional, so don't stress. It'll also potentially save everyone hours resetting for ideal maps now too. Native fruits might be a bother still tho?

 

[Kaireevee]

I think the best thing is that you do not HAVE to modify your island. So if you feel it's going to be too overwhelming you can just avoid it. This is one of the best things they could have done in my opinion! It means peoples islands can be even more individual, they're just providing us with the basic map and then we are free to do as we like with the permit.

 

[Hanami]

initially it seemed overwhelming for me too but now i think they were trying to showcase the possibilities and extent to which you can decorate and customize your island. the features and items are there, but you don't have to use them or you can make your island look simplistic or minimal

 

[Yuki Nagato]

I think it's exciting and it's making way for a huge plethora of new concepts for our islands. Having said that, I hope it doesn't negate from the villager-player relationship side of things.

 

[carackobama]

I?m excited for it personally! The more new features the better imo and it?s only optional

 

[Rhythrin]

I'm excited for this! It gives us all a chance to be unique and creative!

 

[dizzy bone]

I screamed when they just dug up part of the river like that and smashed a cliff. I'm living for it though!!

 

[cornimer]

Honestly I do think it's a bit too much, for me at least, but that's alright because it's not like we'll be forced to use it Landscaping has never been important to me (I never even used paths in New Leaf) and I wouldn't even know where to begin.

 

[QueenOpossum]

I'm thrilled!

I never cared about paths and stuff since it was such a pain in NL, but all this makes me actually interested in designing my town~

If its too much - don't use it. Or give yourself a limit.
