Features You Want / Feature Ideas General Discussion

[projectx1991]

I really want the personality back, I feel that the newer games have had this watered down from the dialogue to the personalities of the villagers themselves.

I also would love a reworked soundtrack. I've been loving some of the fanmade WiiU/Switch hourly tracks and especially the BitBlock's Make Believe music done by ClefferNotes. It keeps the character but makes it more orchestral and sounds great - especially with this transition into HD.

I also want the design to be slightly richer than before, like people have said, shadows from trees etc, swaying in the wind, leaves blowing etc.

A way to remove rocks. Always been a bother when trying to design a town and a rock is in the middle of the pathway you were gonna build.

- pick where villagers move in
- I want the characters that own shops and Isabelle to have a house that you can visit when the shop is closed. It would make the game feel more alive
- see underwater with the mask
-pwp on the beach
- the limit of pwp more than 30
- if the pwp are still here I?d like it to be less random
- when it snows I?d like it to gradually appear and disappear. Not just all at once
- I want an island still, but you can have a hut on the island as well
- as someone has mentioned before having a shop that only opens at night and sell exclusive items there.
- as someone has said nocturnal villagers would be cool

I'd like to see more customization! I'd love to have more options when making the character, more map/layout options, and a wider variety of public works projects and other things. It would be cool if you could "request" villagers to move in, and potentially chose where they live, as it is a pain to plot reset. I would also love to be able to mov/remove annoyingly placed rocks for a fee, or to be able to lay down paths in an easier way. I really hope they make a database where you can upload your designs/browse others, or atleast have a variety of premade paths. I would also like to see ordinances where you can chose weather type or something like that. I personally love the vibe of rainy and cosy towns.

More events in general and events that have a more interaction, for example, a carnival event with mini games in little tents! (eg. Apple bobbing, balloon dart throwing, etc. that’d be so cute). I’d like if they brought back some of the older events like flower day, la-di-da day, flea market, and yoga. If they did have more events and we resume some sort of mayor role, I’d like the option of “ending” the event via talking to Isabelle or whoever, if you have collected or done all you need to and wish the day to continue as normal with the power of doing mayoral tasks like building PWPs even on event days.

I’d love to see some of the features of Pocket Camp and HHD in the new game: full character customization, villagers with wearable hats, PC furniture as PWPs, etc.

Stackable items, not just fruit. If we get 20 pics of our favourite villager, we should be able to stack them and not count them as one! Tools should also be kept separate from your pocket, maybe in a tool box or backpack.

I’m expecting the map of the town to be bigger than ACNL and more terrain elevation options so it’s not just flat land. Villager house and PWP placement should be easier. Maybe Isabelle can notify you when a villager plans on moving in so you can manually place a 3x3 plot somewhere before their move date (in a similar fashion to the HHD moving grid with options to preview live placement after grid-view), same with PWPs.

There’s way more in my head but these are my biggest wishes!

Something that'd be neat is if they have the K.K. Slider acoustic versions of the songs (what he performs on Saturdays) as songs you can get for your house. They could call it "K.K. Slider Live" or something.

I really like these versions of the songs and it's too bad you only get to hear 1 song per week.

Ya know, the most important feature that I want to be added to this game more than absolutely anything else is support for cloud save storage.

But because of the nature of the game, it likely won't be.

 

[ScaryGhosts]

I was just thinking about this and its probably been said before, but outdoor furniture!

I don't see why cloud save storage wouldn't work. You could easily program in that it looks at the date/time of the Switch loading up the save, rather than the cloud save server.

Generally the Switch games that don't have cloud save storage are not because it's hard to do so. They are typically trying to prevent cheating in various ways.

With both HHD and Pocket Camp having outdoor furniture, I will be really surprised if the Switch game doesn't. If it doesn't, it will be a step back in customization.

Oh I know that there are ways for it to work. I just don't trust in Nintendo to be privy enough to implement such checks is all.

 

[Liability]

the ability to have two+ towns, especially since Switch games aren't saved on the game card. i don't want to buy a second switch just to have a second town

 

[Blue Cup]

Another feature that I would like is unlimited personal display rooms in the museum over the four that New Leaf gave us. I want to be able to display complete furniture sets and have them always on hand when needed.

 

[Pellie]

One feature I would like to see is a extensive customization option for your own house.
Like changing the shape and size of a room (since always having a square shaped room
becomes kinda boring), changing the shape, size and color of the windows (maybe also
having the option to add more windows in a room), having more options of how your
house should look like outsite, having a own yard etc.

 

[Stevey Queen]

Fish shadows out; clear water in. I want to be able to see what fish I'm trying to catch before I catch it.

It would make looking for certain fish easier when a villager asks for it.

No thanks, definitely prefer the shadows

Think part of the fun is that its random. If I knew what I was catching I wouldnt be sitting in bed for hours just fishing. Its part of what makes the game relaxing haha

 

[rianne]

Not so much for myself but others---the option to "downgrade" rooms or not fully expand them to "unlock" each room in a house. I know some people prefer smaller rooms in their houses.

Gotta agree with this. Keep the shadows please, as just by studying shadow size can give an approximation as to what it is you will be pulling up.

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

A random one: being able to remove windows. They just look really weird with some of the wall papers like the outdoor ones or the ones with windows on them. This was already done in Happy Home Designer so I have high hopes for this feature being included.

 

[ScaryGhosts]

How about we get to ride a bike? Hehe

 

[DubiousDelphine]

What about the villagers personalities?
I want them to be meaner like in AC gamecube
ACNL the villagers are too nice
Wild World is so-so
