More additions for each season and holidays for the town

[Sweetley]

As you know, in winter, the cedar trees are getting christmas lights, which is a nice
addition for the town. It would be really nice if there are more additions like this for
the town for other seasons and holidays.

Like for halloween for example, the villagers and yourself could have little pumpkins with
lights in it outside the house. At summer, there are beach umbrellas at the beach, which
are getting put away when it's getting colder. Next to the christmas lights on the trees
at winter, lights on the own house, villager houses and buildings like the town hall would
be nice.

What do you think? Which additions would you like to see?

Ahh... that would be so cute.

I'd like some events to take place in areas other than the designated "town plaza". For example, like you said, during the summer there could be summer events that are held on the beach with a special display up for that event. Like a Luau or something. If they add new explorable areas to the map (other than your immediate town/forest) there could be events held there specifically too. Isabelle can tell you "head to the [x] for the [x] event" or something (kinda like stardew hah) Pumpkins for halloween would be cute. I'm not fond of the New Leaf version of halloween (I find the trick or treating thing annoying). For Christmas it would be nice to have a Christmas tree PWP or lighting event (maybe there's a big tree inside a new townshall building or something).

This is so nice; I'm very for the Halloween idea.
I think someone suggested before about helping villagers decorate the town tree as a Christmas tree as an event or something?

I agree some beach events would be a really nice idea. Like some kind of festival. Makes it feel more part of the town.
I absolutely love everything with cosy lights when it gets dark outside, so I'm all for the Halloween decorations idea^^ I think it would be nice to decorate the town with (season based) outdoor furniture items in general. Not like the PWP's but more like decorating your house. Without the annoying "it's too close to x to build it here" problem. Putting beach chairs and campfires/torches on the beach for example would be so nice.

Make Japanese only events occur in North American, European and etc versions of the game.The Cherry blossom festival should have every color of sakura petals. Make your birthday more exciting like a picnic party or venue. And please remove shizue in every event, I hate her so much!

 

[freezypop]

I love stuff like that, it totally makes the game exciting for longer. Thinking of this because Valentine's is coming up, but like little hearts on trees, rose petals blowing around the ground... would be super cute for like Valentine's week.

All these ideas are so cute! I agree that the Christmas lights are one of the best things about winter, I hope we can get Bright Nights back in the new game <3

If that does come back I hope the animals that don’t win are better sports about losing...

I would love if there was a time period in Fall where various leaves fall from the sky similarly to pink petals falling during the beginning of April.

 

[Blue Cup]

I would love for more seasonal weather-based events and changes around town, particularly if it's like the snow in winter and has items/mini games tied to it.

Autumn could feature something to do with dried leaves. Like maybe during a windy day, you could catch leaves drifting through the air like with snowflakes, and as you catch them they automatically get added to a pile somewhere in town that, once enough leaves have been found, unlocks the leaf pile as a PWP that you can jump in. Or maybe the leaves could be traded for a new furniture series.

I would love to put Christmas lights on my house and maybe the other villager houses. It would really make it feel more like Christmas.

 

[Neechan]

Heck, have all that holidays that were region specific in NL and add them into ac Switch, it would help people understand different events that happen throughout the year, and would make it more full

 

[stitchmaker]

I would love to have the events last longer. Tree lights and pink blossoms need to last longer.

I've played both Disney Magical World games. They have events for each holiday and the town gets decorated for holidays.
Easter items and Eggs are all over town. The town players and special Guest like Mickey give you tasks to complete. Complete the task and you get an item or an recipe for the item to be built. Villager/NPC to give us the tasks and Cyrus could build the items.

Making snow angels in winter would be cute.

I'd basically just like to add festive elements to the outside of my house, without needing to change exteriors or anything. For example for Christmas it would be nice if you could add Christmas decorations (like a wreath, some lights, a light-up statue, ..) to the front exterior of your house so it looks a little more festive but is still your house. That could be the same for other similar events as well, like Halloween!

This would be adorable!

I want a bigger emphasis on holiday changes. It would give the game a nice change and wouldn't be stagnant. It would also be neat if we got more events for those holidays. I enjoy the simple events we get now. But New Year for example in NL. After about 10 minutes of it, it was like "Ok what now".

Ideally, there should be a major event filling in every month on the calendar. The major events in the game right now do a great job of mixing up the day-to-day gameplay and give something upcoming to look forward to, but there are some pretty big gaps. I know the Fish/Bug tourneys exist but because they show up every month, they become stale too.

Looking at the current event schedule... February/March is covered by Festivale, March/April is covered by Easter and April Fool's Day, October is covered by Halloween, November is covered by Harvest Festival, and December is covered by Toy Day.

That leaves January, May, June, July, August, and September as the obvious missing gaps. Arguably, August is semi-covered by the Fireworks season, so I'd suggest expanding on that to make it more of a full-fledged event. For the early fall, I'd suggest moving the Mushroom Festival to September to help fill in that gap. In the older games, it was closer to early October instead of November in New Leaf.

For the other remaining months of January, May, June, and July, I really think they should try to come up with some other major made-up holidays. I know that Festivale does have some loose real world inspirations, but the idea of a random peacock appearing with piles of rainbow feathers falling from the sky is a good example of the kind of made-up major events they could come up with for the gap months.
