Animal Crossing is the type of game that knows hows to keep you engaged and there is always something new going on. Its a great feeling.

The Moroccan furniture is just so pretty that I think it might be my new favourite decorating set alongside the glowing moss set.

I may be reading into this wrong which is totally fair, but hear me out!
I feel like there’s a difference between people offering genuine criticism, and people hating the game. Personally, I love the game, but as I’ve said before, regardless of me loving the game, it wasn’t worth the price before this update. Most of my hours were me running around my completely flat island (literally in circles) unsure of what to do LOL so that may just have been me overwhelmed by the space of my island. Either way, my money stance still stands.
I’m unsure about ACNH’s budget and size of their team and really am too lazy to check. But just compared to other games, even indie games with one to two person dev teams with BEAUTIFUL graphics, I don’t think ACNH’s graphics are an excuse as to why they couldn’t include simple features from past games. Like really, from somebody who has studied 3d models and also has a boyfriend who is very very talented in making such things, we’ve both agreed that the really only models coming close to impressive are the bugs and fish. (I adore the whale shark c: ) Does that make me an expert? Absolutely not, far from! But I still call it like I personally see it- ACNH graphics are stellar compared to old games. They’re lacking when it comes to the models themselves.
It was more about keeping reasonable expectations of what can and can't be done with a game, in relation to content bloat that will inevitably happen if everything from the past stayed in the series.
Let's say game 1 has 5000 items and 5 features.
Everyone's happy enough with it.
A new game comes out but they can't just release the same game again just with better graphics so they add 2000 items and 2 new features.
Do that a couple more times and what was a game that originally had 5000 items and 5 features (that everyone was happy with at the time), becomes a game with 12,000 items and 12 features.
Of course each time a new game comes out, the costs related to it have to go up as more staff are brought on board and hours being spent to make it all happen.
I just think people should try and keep that in mind. There have to be sacrifices made along the way.
What people think are too important to be cut and if certain features weren't worth being added are up to personal interpretation.
I really need to put more effort into decorating the yards for Vacation Homes…
On an related note, I feel like HHP should have it’s own sub section in the Hew Horizons part of the forum. Maybe with a topic to share our HHP portfolio codes.

The interiors of the Roost and HHP office are so well done they make me wish there were more buildings/interiors in the game. I'm hoping a future game will lean into this more and have a more developed city you can walk around in with a bunch of cool shops and buildings.

Haha I see you re-created a popular meme. Good one!
A very popular meme! Alas, it’s not mine, I found it. Still very funny and definitely accurate.

I also think a lot of criticism comes from people not liking the direction the series is heading in. Customization is being prioritized over many things that made the series special to a lot of people, including in-depth villager interactions.
I'm totally fine if certain features don't return, and the series wants to branch out to new things, but it's also interesting to note that the series itself is evolving and may even be rebranding itself into a different genre as the series continues.

Many people may not know this but you can actually keep your Resident, their fully upgraded home, all of their diys learned, and of course their storage. To do that you must have them move off of the island and have your 2nd switch (with a 2nd copy of the game) and tell it that you want to move yourself to that island. Once you move there you have your fully upgraded home and all the apps on your nookphone are there including the Island Designer App, because of that I was able to terraform the island right off the bat. I feel so proud right now with my new 2nd island.

I've been getting coffee "everyday" at Brewster's, and he has started to open up. When I ordered my cup this time, he proceeded to give me a sentence ending in "Even got you a clean cup. Coo." Excuse me?! What were you giving me before, lmao. Shouldn't it always be a clean cup?

Jock is my favorite personality. Like I don’t understand how people don’t like them. A lot of villager personalities repeat dialogue. Jocks talk about sports and fitness a lot? Yes, but lazy villagers talk about food and bugs a lot. It goes both ways… and lazy villagers are not hated half as much as jocks. To be fair, I just dislike snooty. They’re just rude I guess, and I’m not a fan of many villagers with that personality.
Good Luck! I just watched the update a couple days ago, and I haven't even looked at all the new stuff I saw in the trailer lmao
If you dont know what's coming item wise, I say just play and don't look at it.
It is thousands of new items.
Its crazy.

She seems so cute, I know the peppy personality doesn’t seem to fit her but I think it makes her unique and awesome c:
