Features You Want / Feature Ideas General Discussion

Maybe if it's cold or rainy outside a villager could ask you to borrow a jacket and then give it back to you later :) Or just borrow stuff in general?
 
Random weather/climate. Having snow come and go at the same days every year is boring and unrealistic. Make it random for everyone.

there will be an option to choose your hemisphere so there's that.

Southern hemisphere would still get the snow in winter, even though we don't get it here. :(

I'm still hoping snow is true to the hemisphere, and that there is another way to get snow/ice items.

1. More variety of interaction and dialogue between villagers.
While the villagers in NewLeaf can be sooo sweet and cute, I do agree that there is a lot of room for improvement. We need more dialouge and ways we can interact with our favorite villagers. As for the snooties and the crankies being mean to us, I DO think this is a good idea for when we have a low to medium friendship with them. However, as we build a friendship with them, I think they should gradually start to show their soft side and become less and less mean, but I don't think they should just be mean, regardless of friendship levels, all the time like they did in the GC version. It would also be awesome if we can see more interaction variety between two villagers.

2. Placing villagers houses
Some people think this is a "too much power" thing. I certainly don't! I think this would be awesome and a major help! We will NOT have to deal with invonveniently placed houses, or destruction of our trees, flowers, paths, etc. Sure, there is "plot resetting", but this can be tedious and a pain in the neck. Heck, sometimes we don't even know when the next move-in is. I heard that this was actually going to happen. I really hope this isn't just a rumor!

3. Having villagers to never ask about moving again
Once we have a high friendship with a villager, it would be awesome if there was some way that we could have them stay forever, without them considering moving out. Of course there would still be the "I am thinking of moving" ping, and we can stop them for if when we do not have a high enough frienship with them.

4. New bugs, fish, fossils, etc.
I think it would be awesome to dig up new fossils, and catch new bugs and fish. They added new kinds in NewLeaf, but I hope they add even more in this game.

5. More things to do for holidays/events
Don't get me wrong, New Leaf has greatly improved the holidays, but there is still sooooo much that can be done on particular holidays, events, birthdays, etc. Maybe on Toy Day, you can give gifts to villagers and raise their friendship levels. Maybe they can give YOU something if you have a high friendship with them. Maybe on Valentine's Day (or the day before), you can also send a villager of the opposite gender a mail with a gift attached (maybe the store can sell Valentine's Day goods during the first of February). Maybe on a villagers birthday, you can plan a party for them.

6. Easier way to get (genuine) paintings and statues
Good looooooord, this process is soooooooo tedious and slow in New Leaf. You have to just wait once in a while for Redd to set his tent up in your town, you are only allowed to buy ONE, and 9 times out of 10, it is a forgery. I think maybe an art shop that is connecting to the main store would be the best way to go about this.

7. Continue with villager adoption, and move-ins and move-outs with Amiibo
I thought being able to abopt villagers from new towns was BRILLIANT! I hope we can do this in this game. This only became more useful with the Welcome Amiibo update. Like most people, I have villagers I LOVE and want them on my island. I don't even use Amiibo and still benefit from this. If villager adoption doesn't come back, it would take FOREVER to get our dreamies.

This would make so much more sense!!! (๑˃͈꒵˂͈๑)

Completely! I can't take a disorganised town! I'm all for letting fate decide when it suits me, but when it destroys all my hard work, that's when I lose it!
If I remember correctly though, they did say we have a choice with this! We can either allow their placement, or step in and say where we would prefer the placement! Hehe

Yes!!! Maybe if we want them to move, we can do it through Nook and then say: Isn't it better that you explored new horizons? Then, they can sail off into the sunset! ( :3) ?)〆 ~~~スイ〜

I think we'll be getting new encyclopaedia babies for sure! ⸜(๑⃙⃘'ω'๑⃙⃘)⸝

Now I could never understand why it wasn't this way? I actually thought on Toy Day, I'd get to give and recieve presents of my choosing (well not choosing what I recieve), I though on my Birthday that I could decorate and ask villagers to come to my party! I thought on a villagers Birthday, I could invite them to my house for a party! Also the whole Valentine's event happened on PC sI was hoping that would be a thing because it was so beautiful!!!
I hope we can bake our beloveds cakes and get things back on White Day!
Also, it would be nice if when there was a meteor shower, we can watch them with our villager friends and fireworks... It felt kinda lonely before... (ू′o‵ ू)*✲゚︎♡︎♪︎

Redd is wasted... Seriously! This guy is like the best sly fox ever and they have him with a limited amount of goods? Seriously? He's like the Del Boy of AC and he's not selling rare items too? Doesn't have a couple of dodgy fortune cookies up his sleeve?
Since we have a flimsy axe etc... Could you image if he had rare furniture, he was selling it expensive but it's really flimsy furniture and needs repair. So you could buy something from the Sloppy Series or another rare series but you'd have to fix it up! So it doesn't make it that easy to obtain! Would be fun no?
He could have some super rare fortune cookies, some out of date things like Jingle items in summer? If there going to be counterfeit goods, I'd love a counterfeit series too! He's one of my fave NPCs because Foxes are so sacred and beautiful! (˵ ˃̶̀ε ˂̶́ ˵)ෆ⃛
 
- Lost and Found being available from the start or at least unlocked through regular gameplay (still salty about never getting it in New Leaf...)
- Prevent villagers from moving out!
- Some kind of "toolbox" storage for tools, whether as a separate thing or as one inventory slot. A full set of tools takes up a certain amount of storage space...
- Town tune storage - having the option to save a number of town tunes and switch between them.
- Pants and skirt patterns, why limit it to shirts/dresses? Also a "bodysuit" type pattern that could also be used for shirt+pants combo outfits (with adjustable sleeve and pant lengths)
- More on-hand pattern storage! If you like making clothes (and keeping them as regular outfits), 10 fills up WAY too fast, especially if you also want non-clothing designs like paths and other ground designs.
- Uploading and downloading patterns! Either search by pattern name, or enter the pattern's code to find a specific one
- Being able to save in-progress designs and coming back later
- Custom masks - make patterns for masks and similar to put on your face. With one of the "colors" being blank space so you could make holes, half-masks, make it only cover your eyes ect.
- Bring back conversations between villagers! While they happened sometimes in NL it was too rare, I recently had two villagers walking INTO each other for a bit but they never started talking.
- Like many others have mentioned, better and less repetitive dialogue.
- More characters for town name, names, character catchphrases and greetings ect. (partially because I recently gave a villager a greeting that was ONE letter too long)
- Constellations!
- Bottled mail would be nice to see make a return
- Bring back the occasional funny bulletin board messages!

The activity that interested me most after the majority of the other stuff was complete (Filled museum, completed catalogue etc.) was growing hybrids. I had flowers strategically positioned in my town in order to do this to the maximum effect. It became that checking for new hybrids on a daily basis was something I did religiously for the best part of 2 years on City Folk. I hope this aspect is expanded on in some capacity - even if it's just a simple case of more hybrid types and variations of them.
 
this is super specific i would like new amiibo crossover villagers... an incineroar cat, k rool alligator, or morgana cat (if joker ever gets an amiibo) would be sooo cool...

also better villager dialogue please. since the switch doesn't have a camera for qr codes i'd like if designs were uploaded to something like the switch app, idk just a thought. it would make it a lot easier to find good designs

I have more!!!

8. Being able to buy/craft a Do Not Disturb sign for our houses
Yesterday, I got my first unannounced visit since I started Haven (my current town). I was just minding my own business, putting a pink regal bed and a pink regal sofa in my newest room, when Velma barged in like "SURPRISE, ***** :D!!!!". These piss me off, and make me so happy at the same time. Yesterday's was no exception! I love having special features that you exclusively have with villagers of a high friendship, so I DO think it would be a bummer to just get rid of this. Instead, we should be able to buy and/or craft a DND sign, so vilagers don't do this at inconvenient times, and we would love this little feature even more.

9. Be able to craft or buy a toolbox
I know this has been talked about a million times, but I'm gonna chime in: I am honestly suprised this has yet to exist in Animal Crossing. This seems so simple, yet soooooooo useful. We can just keep all of our tools in one lot, and they won't take up half our inventory. It looks like this may happen. Let's hope these bags aren't mere accessories.

10. No more villagers planting flowers
Don't get me wrong, I want villagers to be able to do as much as possible and feel more alive, but this is NOT a good way to go about this. MARSHAL, MY HOUSE IS FOR PINK ROSES AND PURPLE ROSES!!!! STOP PLANTING YELLOW ONES!!!!
Or they should at least go by color as well when doing this.
 
It has probably been mentioned before, but I really hope villagers either no longer take over eachother's catchphrases or the game should allow us to reset/change them more easily. I just had Camofrog infest 2 more victims with his catchphrase. :(

I agree with this, same thing for the clothes. Antonio took a copy of Static’s initial shirt.
Static and Rooney took copies of Velma’s initial shirt.

Different things look better on different villagers .-.

I kinda like that they take each-others catchphrases, it's really goofy imo but it also makes me feel like they're good pals lol! I wonder if they'll trade clothes and/or swap them in NH now, with all the cool options we have. I wonder if they will have like a closet inventory that we can't see, but clothes they might cycle through until they buy some / we give them some. Hmmmm.
 
I have more!!!

I LOVE the DND idea! I agree, it's kind of annoying to have a villager come over when you're redecorating a room or just want to sort stuff out, but it is nice to have them over as a surprise every now and again when you don't mind being interrupted.
 
Houses
Can we please have an option to have a house the same size as a villager?
๐??(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)??๐
I hate having a different house model to theirs, it makes me feel separate and lonely...
˚‧??(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓︎˂̣̣̥ )‧??˚
I never updated my house to the mansion because I don't like having a mansion. I have and upstairs as my bedroom and a downstairs as my kitchen/living room/dining room.
✧︎Villagers should get an upstairs, they need one and they also need to sleep in their beds rather than in a stool! ₍ᐢ ?̥̥̥ ༝ ?̥̥̥ ᐢ₎
✧︎I'd like to help them decorate! Sometimes their style is a bit off...
✧︎I'd like to open my door if a villager knocks - don't just let yourself in! I'm hoping for locks so I can prevent a villager from interacting with me!!!
_: (? ཀ`」 ∠︎):_
✧︎I think it would be good the other way around too! I knock for a villager but they're busy or something haha they may even get angry if I keep knocking
(乂՞ټ՞)✧︎

I'd just like to add to my list since I forgot an important detail!

✧︎I'd like to have cute smoke puffs in cute shapes from my chimney too!
(ू′o‵ ू)*✲゚︎♡︎♪︎
We need this!!! ˁ̡̡̡∗︎⁎⃙ ̫⁎⃙ˀ̡̡̡ ̩˳♡⃝︎

Remember when villagers used to lose their keys? Let's hope we don't lose ours! I wonder if Tom Nook is a certified locksmith? (?́ ॣ?̫ ॣ?̀,)՞
 
If publics Works projects come back, or something similar, they need to make it easier to unlock them. Like with Nook miles. Instead of waiting to get lucky for a villager to ping you for one. ��������
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned but someone mentioned puffs of smoke from the chimney..I'm thinking like when it's a cold day and when you breathe and the little smokey stuff comes out would be a cool feature.

I liked the jungle feature idea someone else stated for exclusive bugs!
