Random thoughts thread. (New Horizons)

I know how you feel and I always end up using too much cliff. I have however found a multi grid layout for neighbourhood inspiration which I’m hoping I can use myself. The cul-de-sac layout looks the easiest and takes up the least amount of space on the map.

My problem is I make things more complicated then they need to be. Yea I do end up using too much cliffs and waterfalls. Thanks for the grid layouts that will definitely help me figure it out. I do like the color-de-sac one and the one next to it.

I wonder if Animal Crossing in 2050 will have villagers with AI personalities who will remember us and guilt us even harder if we don't play

I wonder if anyone else just gets the strongest most sudden urge to restart an island when it comes time to start terraforming? I've never terraformed a full island, not even coming close to it, because I just always get the strongest urge to just reset because something irritates me. I think on my next island it should be zero terraforming?

It hit me that I’m likely one of the very few people that live in the northern hemisphere that chose southern hemisphere for their island. It doesn’t really matter, though, because regardless of this my island is always set in the summer. I dislike snow on my island and in real life, lmao.

I have my second island set to the southern island since even though I like the snow in the beginning by the end of December I’m tired of the snow. So it’s nice to have another island that doesn’t have snow.

I really wish we could go on the rides with our islanders. Like the merry go around and the tea cups. I think it would be so fun and cute to be able to ride them. I wish they would make a roller-coaster too.

That would be amazing!!!!!!

I also always want to go and sit on my scoters and ride them around my island. I wish we could drive/use the new vehicle items from the 2.0 update

My random thoughtwhile terraforming for my villagers houses last night

Why do we not have light purple Lilies. I want to have purple , pink and white flowers and lilies would have looked nice for the area I have Flo and Aurora’s houses . Guess I will use hyacinths instead
Realized I only have two female villagers at the moment. Wait why is that lol because I have 5 lazy villagers.
I really don’t need 5 lazy villagers. I should switch Puck for Tex when I get his picture.Dom for Friga so I have another female villager. I keep thinking Boomer is not a lazy but a smug.
What other lazy should I move out. Maybe I should move cube out for Gwen. Oh right I was trying to figure out where to place Cube’s house since it said the original was too close to the plaza.
BTW @TalviSyreni i was able to use that neighborhood grid and finally have all my houses placed thanks for the inspiration. I till need to place trees , flowers bushes and decorations but I’m finally happy with how my villagers houses are,

Only two more areas to figure out my house and museum: At least I will have time to decorate my villagers houses for Toy day,

Since my island looks so slow in the winter making terraforming and decorating a drag because it never looks right I decided instead of restarting (something I would have done before) I set some goals to accomplish by spring when the snow melts

• Expand my house to at least 3 rooms (currently only have the first room
• Get all of almost all the shops on Harv's Island (only have 2 unlocked)
• Get all the Nook Mile DIYs on the Nook Stop
• Finish HHP so I can unlock villager house decorating on my island
• Build relationship with villagers and get their pictures so by spring I can start rotating to new villagers

All of these goals will keep me busy where restarting out of winter boredom won't even be an option.

I find it interesting how special NPC villagers can get vacation home but they don't know what sort of theme they want and ask you to do it for them.

If I ever reset again, I might set my island to the Northern Hemisphere, even though I'm southern. I would love to experience the snow during Christmas time, since it's usually boiling hot for me lols.

EDIT: Should say that I got the snow in New Leaf when you didn't have choice xD But I haven't had a snowy Christmas in New Horizons yet.

I did the exact thing, set my hemisphere to Northern when I'm from the Southern hemisphere. I found it honestly way easier to play the game, as I'd been playing all previous animal crossing games as they were in the Northern hemisphere. I was just used to the seasons being the way they were, with summer and rain being in June-July and the snow turning up in December and not going away until February

Decorating the villagers' homes (the ones that live on your island) is so much fun.

 

[Beanz]

why do i forget that there’s like 35 species. in my mind there’s only cats, dogs, octopuses, mouse, birds, and eagles.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I wish we could hire Flick or maybe even Resetti to evict the cockroaches that appear in the house after a month of inactivity

 

[Bui]

Despite having the game since a week after it launched, I still don't even have my house fully paid off, nor do I even have anywhere near enough money to do so. Maybe I should actually start working on that.

 

[HappyTails]

It's interesting how I don't mind buying IGB from people in New Horizons and I don't lose interest in the game, whereas the one time I did the same thing in New Leaf, I lost interest. My guess is because this game is more reliant on Bells than New Leaf was, I don't know.

Brewster wants you to burn your tongue off because even though you tell him the coffee is too hot, he doesn't seem impressed at all (a big tone down from New Leaf where he practically shoves the hot coffee down your throat). Also, I don't want to know what pigeon milk is or what it consists of.

 

[VanitasFan26]

Villagers still repeat the same topics no matter how long you've been away. Once you talk to them they will act like how much they miss you but then repeat the same topics you heard like 100 times.

Spoiler

Wikipedia: Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of the crop of parent birds that is regurgitated to young birds. It is found among all pigeons and doves where it is referred to as pigeon milk. An analog to crop milk is also secreted from the esophagus of flamingos and the male emperor penguin.
In other words, certain birds regurgitate this substance in their throats called 'crop milk' (or 'pigeon milk' if you're strictly talking about pigeons) that they feed to their young. Though for some people who don't know what that is, they may think that Brewster is talking about... Another type of 'milk'...
So that means Brewster thinks of the player as his child and throws up crop milk into your coffee.

Ah, okay that makes sense. I honestly thought it was something made up. Google is my friend.

Well I'm still going to reject when he offers it because my coffee shall not be tainted.
