lets talk about starting villagers house

[icecreamcheese]

hey guys so i got punchy as my first lazy and his my best friend on the island (he even gave me his picture and everything) but he has the lame 5 basic starting villager house.

i have found pictures of how his real house looks in order maybe to give him his "original" stuff back and maybe to trigger something in the game - but no luck i gave him the wallpaper and the floor of his real house but he didnt do anything with it.
have you guys found a way to upgrade the starting villagers houses in any way?

i will never replace him with amiibo or something like that so im really interested to know if you guys found something at this subject.


and does anyone knows what sort of items will they place inside homes and what items they ignore?

So far, the only upgrade is to move them out and bring them back. I have Dom as my starter and I am hoping to kick him out as he is broke. I gave him a protein shaker bottle and he just keeps moving it back and forth in his bare af home. its actually hilarious

There is no way. You'll have to kick him and then reinvite him unfortunately

its actually so funny like he placed down a log bench (his canon house has one) and he's wearing a towel so from a distance he looks naked but that protein shaker... just moved back and forth on his table and end table (that he blocked with a bed???? like he cant access it wyd)

I’m in the very minority who likes the idea of the simple house I made for them because it’s the only proof I have that I got so lucky at the beginning of the game by having them start with me from the beginning. It’s also the only way my visitors can tell that they’re my starters and I didn’t trade or amiibo them in.

The starting house thing is a blessing and a curse. Al was my first lazy, so the house he got is better than his (potential) original IMO

Here is his original (New Leaf at least):

He isn't even a jock.


This house is much more fitting for him

I just dream someday we'll get an update that lets us decorate the villager's homes. I don't see why the HHD concept can't be used in a full Animal Crossing game. Villagers are okay with us moving their homes around. I am sure they'd be happy to let us decorate.

i agree i think maybe we should work on it or make them upgrade to their original once we finished the home loans or something.
there are alot of good potential solutions. they just need to choose one

I'm so mad about this

I didn't know that thing before inviting the 3rd, 4th and 5th villager.

I have Mira, Stinky, Carmen, Deli and Norma.

I want to keep them all except Mira. I saw the houses of Stinky, Norma and Carmen and I'm so sad about Stinky's and Norma's

this but with Coco. Her canon house scares me, the one she has now is nice and comfy and basic

Sadly, it's literally impossible to get them to change their wallpaper and flooring, they can't use different ones at all, as was the case in NL You can try gifting them other stuff but the AI isn't very smart so you have to be really lucky for them to use it correctly. I hate it because as a result of this, I consider getting villagers I really like for my starters to be really unfortunate and annoying and the exact opposite of lucky. I wish they'd upgrade to their real interiors over time or at least change the wall and flooring.

Oh, I should add this, though, sorry I forgot it in my initial reply: If you trade that villager to a friend and have them trade the villager back to you, they'll get their real house instead of keeping the basic one--I did this with Reneigh. They also have special dialogue in your friend's town indicating they remember you. I'm not completely sure if it keeps friendship levels and such though because I'm not even sure how to really know what my friendship level with a villager is, beyond if I've gotten the last reaction from them or gotten their picture.

I think his New Horizons house is extremely close to his New Leaf, I don't have pictures, but this is the furniture he uses.

this method sounds pretty cool thank you!
but im afraid its too much of a hassle for me
i wish it wasn't this so difficult..

Wait, Beau changed his wallpaper to one that you gave him? Are you sure? Not trying to be rude or say you're lying but it's just that in NL this was impossible and everything I've heard and tried indicated that it was the same in NH... I let Zucker go partially because I gave him like 10 wallpapers and he wouldn't use a single one and I don't like the one his house in this game has.
