Making unchangeable things changeable?

[Sweetley]

A while ago, a wachted a AC related video on YouTube and some people in
the comment section talked about things they wished for the new AC game.
One person suggested that things that you can't change later in the game,
such as the town name, the name of your character as well as the gender
and face should become changeable, so that you're not forced to re-start
the game whenever you want to change these things and lose your process
by doing this. I thought that this is actually a good point and so I wanted
to ask you: Would you like it if unchangeable things become changeable?
Or should unchangeable things stay unchangeable?

I for myself would find it helpful if you could at least have the option to
change the town name later in the game, as it is sometimes the case that
I wished I would have chosen another name for my town and hate it to
re-start if it bothers me too much. Maybe they could do it in a way that
you have to pay a fee, like, I don't know, 1 mil bells for example if you
want to change your town name.

That would be so nice!

Changing town name: maybe each anniversary, you’re given the option to re-name the town? Most people probably wouldn’t use it, and events like that are pretty tricky even for time travelers to manipulate lol.

As for your name, maybe Nook or someone could have that as an unlock... maybe after you’ve expanded your house entirely or something? A small fee & you can change your name, maybe a limit of once a month or so? Or face/name/etc changes could be handled by an extended Shampoodle/spa, some kind of specialty ‘I want to feel like a whole new me!’ thing?

I didn't mind not being able to change things, but I wouldn't disagree with anyone who would want to. This is why I'm spending so much time making sure I don't choose the wrong character face or town name, but if I do choose wrong, it would be nice to be able to change them. So yeah, I wouldn't mind this feature at all.

Ooo, maybe for the name the ID Photo booth could give an option but it would cost a lot more.

Yeah, I like this idea! They could have some sort of form that you'd have to fill out, or something along those lines, like setting an ordinance. Having an opportunity to change these things without starting over would be amazing.

I wouldn't mind being able to change facial features throughout the game as I like changing aesthetics a lot. I feel that no PWP should be permanent though, I find it rather annoying that you can't change the position of the cafe, campsite, police station etc. Especially when you want to change your plans for your town and you can't move them, it kinda sucks that you're stuck with it unless you start from scratch again.

I'm not sure about town names or character names though, I feel like those are things that should be permanent. I feel like it would be kinda confusing if you kept changing it lol. Maybe as someone else suggested, make it an option for your towns anniversary, or an (expensive) PWP or something.

I would love to be able to change my face or where I put down certain pwps that can't be moved.
I agree with magix on what she has posted, about the town name and character name. Those would be sorta confusing in a way over something like your face or where your cafe is.
