Random thoughts thread. (New Horizons)

i love how in the beginning of the game it lets you explore your new island first before naming it. every other ac game forced you to name your town traveling there before you even saw it.

I just want everyone to know that I think I am back to playing lol, i reset on Nov 9 2021 and have not played animal crossing since ( (i have been playing two point hospital and splatoon mainly and then had a baby work data Science boot camp and what not ac just hasnt been on my mind) but I was randomly in target and came across the Sanrio amiibo cards and I got them I FINALLY GOT THEM, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THESE SINCE 2016

I finally decided my final villager line up for my un themed island of Equinox.

Currently my villagers are:

• Jock: Dom
• Lazy: Filbert
• Cranky: Dobie
• Smug: Hippeux
• Peppy: Sprinkles
• Snooty: Petri and Yuka
• Normal: Bettina
• Big Sister: Ava and Shari

I decided to look through my Amiibo cards to decide which villagers I want to add. I decided I wanted two peppy, two lazy and one each of the other personality types. I wanted my island to spilt evenly gender wise (5 females and 5 males) and a variety of species. So I finally decided my final line up is (I have all of these villagers' Amiibo cards, except Dom who is already on the island)

Males

• Jock: Dom
• Lazy: Biskit and Stitches
• Cranky: Lobo
• Smug: Kidd

Females

• Peppy: Tutu and Rilla
• Snooty: Tiffany
• Normal: Melba
• Big Sister: Diva

So I will have a Bear, Cub, Goat, Frog, Rabbit, Koala, Sheep, Dog, Wolf and Gorilla. Seems like a good mix to me.
Diva is the only big sister Amiibo card I have but luckily she grew on me a while back and I can't not have her on my island. And Tutu was a given to be my island. It's going to be a while before they are all moved in and settled. I started Equinox back on Jan 11th and have been taking it slowly. So this is just another part of the process. I haven't even started decorating, terraforming or even trying to figure out what I want to do with this island. Waiting until spring. If Ione randomly appears in my campsite once my final line up is settled in, then I am willing to part with Melba for her. And maybe I'll part with Biscuit or Stitches for Sasha because I wouldn't mind having a 2.0 villager in my final line up but only if it's Sasha or Ione.

I feel like the devs for NH love the color yellow. Yellow appears so often in the game or I'm just crazy.

How did I end up with 5 duplicate DIYs of mushroom potage?

I really miss Gracie store. I wished they have it still and sell those luxurious furnitures

 

[AccfSally]

I can't help but give my villagers a yard or some form of comfort when they're outside of their house.
Just seeing them just sitting down by their house always warms my heart.

All my villagers are tight *bleeps*, had this island since january and NONE of my villagers have gifted me their picture lol. Do my wrapped up assessed fossils mean nothing to you?!?!? lol.

I have had better luck with wrapped stacks of fruits and veggies. I usually give stacks of at least 6 . 10 if it’s native fruit.

Thank you will give that a try .

 

[azurill]

Thank you will give that a try .

Your welcome, hope you get some photos soon. If you have Katrina on Harv’s island you can check your friendship level to see how close you are to getting a photo.

This thought just occurred to me. We have phones in this game, right? So why the heck do we need to go all over the island to find someone? Just. Call. Them. Good grief Nintendo.

Its hard to keep an island when you have the sudden urge to do everything all over again.

Yea I find it weird Nook can call the villagers when we want to move their house but we can’t call or text them.

3 years later and the game still hasn't really changed much. Even after the 2.0 update it still feels like its stuck in the past.

Cataloguing stuff is a pain, especially with furniture items that have multiple variants (like table and cloth). At least I'll have some use for my Bells, which I have too much of.

I wouldn't necessarily say stuck in the past, but more so they never tapped into its true potential. They just did enough to make a profit. They got lucky since the pandemic helped the sales. Had it never happened, the game wouldn't have sold as well with the way they handled the dripfeed and so forth.

Heck some of the DIY uses up the 5 item limit. To make a literal book stack I needed 5 books. I also needed 5 books to make a bookshelf. And I had to make a bunch of all of them for this one idea I had. I time-traveled of course, but it was so unnecessarily complicated.

I do miss the personalities back in WW. The villagers now feel so empty. Getting back into NH and interacting with the villagers, it’s been so difficult.

 

[Roaldisthebest]

I am obsessed with all the pochettes. The seashell one and the vine one are the only ones I have, but I'm really looking forward to the cherry blossom one and the star one (haven't been able to catch Celeste recently-)
The zodiac DIYs are also incredibly hard to get for this reason!!!!

I love the interaction where you can tell a villager your favorite (insert thing) and they'll bring it up later (or someone else brings it up). I got that dialogue with my lasagna and can confirm 3 months later that I still love it.

I HATE that Isabelle doesn't have a larger role in this game! Apparently in New Leaf she'd be your assistant and she'd talk to you directly more often. Her NH role isn't bad but I want more events like the New Years, Fireworks Show, as well as the rare Roost interaction where she's outside.

I haven't really touched terraforming but I rlly wanna get into it. But at the same time I wanna keep the island natural and use the natural shape as a canvas to make it unique. All I know is that those elaborate towns make me jealous, lol.
