lets talk about starting villagers house

also another question if you may :) - will they hang stuff on walls or use carpets?
I'm actually not sure! I haven't tried that yet but I'm about to mail Teddy a macrame tapestry because I believe his real house has one, and none of my friends have had an empty plot ever since I got one of them to help me with Reneigh (one reason why the method I mentioned is a bit of a hassle, sadly) so I can't fix Teddy's to be his real one. And I am a TTer, so I'll let you know if I see him using it. I might also try giving him a rug just to test that out.

thank you very much for your answer :)!
if i can't make it to the original one i will do the the maximum i can to make it look better.
 
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. :(

i must be mistaken then, i went in today and thought it was different but considering everything in the thread i might just be imagining things. i've been giving and mailing random wallpapers and thought one got used
 
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

Ah yes, this is a blessing if the villager you got has an ugly house. Like I said before, the houses look plain but I can live with it for the sake of nostalgia. The only way I’m gonna throw a fit over this though is if I got any of the penguins as my starting five because OMG their interiors are to die for.

Oh no. :( The frustrating part is that you can’t even gift her stuff she has cause aren’t their stuff mostly only available on Christmas?
she has a crazy ice house with celeste items (i think but not sure) they look golden and expensive

It's also possible that I might be wrong and they can in fact use different wallpapers and floorings if you're lucky! Is there any chance you could show us a screenshot of his current house?

Honestly I can understand the nostalgia factor some people get from the starting houses, and the default peppy house does look better than some of their actual houses (also the uchi one tbh, since I was really disappointed when I saw Mira's real one and it was so different and unfitting compared to her NL house) but I would not be able to live with it if I started with a lazy I really liked and had to deal with their dirt floor omg. And the jock one is so bland and barren I just find it kinda depressing.

Trying to check if Teddy is using the tapestry I gave him or the carpet I mailed him but he's not home after I TTed a day hfgjkdfdg.

Update: I TTed and found Teddy at home and he's not using the tapestry or the carpet! :( Don't know if that means villagers can't use them or if I just got unlucky. It'd seem strange since some of them do already have wall-hanging items by default anyway.

i'll check tonight when i'm off work - i think i was probably just mistaken! it probably won't stop me from continuing to send him stuff though lol.
 
I was incredibly lucky that my first 5 are villagers I have cards for (I invited the 3 from islands). I'm in the process of moving them out and rescanning, except for Flora (I like her peppy house better than her default). I might still do hers at a later date, but I'm focusing on the others, for now.
 
i don't think they'll use wall stuff ;/ i tried gifting genji a few wall items as well as agnes, and neither of them have used it. surprisingly enough, agnes did replace her 4x4 table with one that i gifted her. seems real hit or miss as to what gets replaced. victoria has replaced hardly anything in her home. i made the mistake of looking up filbert's house and i'm really bummed because it's cool, but i like that he was one of my originals, so i'll most likely be keeping his default cabin interior.

i think i tried gifting skye a cute bed, but she didn't replace it. she hasn't exchanged much though, except display her sunglasses and put out a cute closet. i kinda feel like beds are one of their "core" items, so i haven't tried very hard. i'll try again with maybe a smaller one with someone else and lyk if anything happens haha
 
I know when I had Katt she hung an outfit I gave her on the wall. So, I'm assuming that means they will use wall hanging stuff.

agnes also hung her clothing on the wall, i wonder if clothing and accessories abide by some different mechanic? i've noticed that my villagers always display clothing i give them in their houses. which is kind of annoying tbh

If it helps at all, I know they'll use beds, but I just don't know if they'll replace the ones they've already got :( I gave Chief a new bed because I don't like the cardboard one his house has now and it makes me sad thinking he has to sleep on cardboard. He kept them both and has two beds now. Teddy did the same, keeping the sleeping bag from his starter house while adding the one I gave him.

i wanted to upgrade chief's trashcan to a better one - NOW HE'S USING BOTH. his house is already a travesty and now i've just made it worse by adding another trashcan lmaooooo

i noticed one day that punchy got rid of his music player so i gave him the same one in a different color and then he put it out but also put the other one right beside it and had two music players!! the ai isn't very smart at all lol, they seem to change their furniture and move things around but rarely use it correctly or in the way you wanted. i gave punchy a coffee mug because he had two empty tables and where did he put it? on top of the fridge.
