The ACNH Rant Thread

[Plume]

I had just finished decorating my island for the fall, and it's already winter. I'm not ready to switch over to winter decorations. I'm still mad that the Thanksgiving items were basically irrelevant the actual day I obtained them. :c

I don't like that we can't disable the auto-save. There are so many things I want to test out on my island. But then I start laying out the ground work and bam auto-save hits. So it's either undo what little I did do in that amount of time or just hope I end up liking it. Cause if I don't, then I have to undo it which could easily take up another hour or more. You know, instead of just closing out of the game and opening it back up to its past form. I did that all the time in NL when I was landscaping.

The Cycle of ACNH

1) Work on my island a lot! Feel good about it.
2) Look at other islands on social media. Immediately feel like crap about mine.
3) Quit playing for a month.

Repeat

Gosh, I feel that. My island is such a mess. I wish I could just organize it super easy, like decorating a house, but it would probably take MONTHS to do in actuality.

I just want things to be organized and cute.

Another thing I wanted to mention is about the Able Sister shop. Why is wearing the clothes out the only option to keep it in your inventory? What if I want to keep it in my pocket space and not have you send what I am wearing or what I just bought into my storage space? It's not necessary.

The bridge and incline limit of 8 can be bothersome to work around

I would love an option to have what I buy put in my inventory not storage. Sometimes what I buy is a gift for a villager. It’s a pain having to go and get it from my house.

I've given up on my island. I'm not going to bother trying to make it look nice anymore. It's going to forever look trash because I have ideas and the game is stifling me with the #@$%% RNG. I'm about over it with this game.

This game is more annoying than Smash Bros Ultimate at times, I swear it is.

Disclosure: This is just frustration talking. She's not really over it with this game, but she probably should take a break from it.

Complaints? Here goes:
-Going back to my rant on lazy personalities, why can only certain genders have certain personalities? Is Nintendo saying that girls can't have muscles? Because that's what it seems like they're saying

I agree with you about the personality/gender thing. Why no normal guys or lazy gals etc etc. It doesn't seem like it should be hard to code that. Also non binary characters that use they pronouns doesn't seem like difficult coding.

I just want to catch the Stringfish.....is that too much to ask for?

I don’t think any other fish has been as hard for me as stringfish.

What really grinds my gears is when youre doing your daily villager gifting, and you only have 2 more to gift and they are NOWHERE to be seen. like you see them before you have the gifts then they just POOF.

this happens to me all the time! it really makes me miss the megaphone from new leaf. i don't want to search every inch of my island, just let me call my villagers...

I wasted 35 fish baits on the stringfish yesterday to no avail, and everytime I get excited when I see a large shadow, it ends up being a freaking black bass

Save and reload. It will respawn all the villagers on load. If someone is hiding in the museum, they may spawn in the town or even their home if you're lucky.

I decided to finally clear out all the flowers on my island, and I was using the customising tool method so I wouldn't burn through all my hardwood. The problem is, the amount of uses the tool has isn't even consistent! The last few times I customised it was after it kept breaking at around 80 uses, even though I thought it was 100.

Also this is mind numbingly boring and I don't know why flowers have to breed like crazy. I've been digging for over an hour and I'm not even a third of the way through. It's not even the first time I cleared them out lol.

I hate how laggy the game gets from outdoor animated items like furniture, trees, flowers, water uurhghghfjkf.. its so bad when it snows now since thats animated as well. lag is like the number one thing bugging me lately. working around it is difficult because im finding myself looking for non animated alternatives to replace them just so it lags less. i did not think lagging would ever be present in an animal crossing game but i guess its the price to pay for the freedom we get

 

[JammyTheBirb]

I just hosted a giveaway, and I've just found out someone stole my shell display, including my one summer shell. It's winter now, I'm not getting another any time soon.

 

[meggiewes]

I let someone visit my town and she plucked all of my weeds near Marina's house. Sigh. Not a big deal, but I planted them specifically to look like the Japanese grass. Oh well. She also picked my black rose. Now I know why people get slightly annoyed with flower picking. I was trying to breed that rose. Oh well, it'll grow back and she did water all my other flowers so the next day I did get another black rose anyway.

Why oh why did they change the music in Velma's house to Mr. KK? I don't think it fits her quite library room at all and it makes me sad.

I'm getting to the point that I'll pay for a massive DLC to let me team up with HHA and redecorate my villager homes so I can make them look more like the ones they had in New Leaf. Bonus points if I can give Velma back her classical music.

For me, it's char. Char, char, where is a char?

My rant today is that I'm tired of villagers asking me about the secondary characters. Now that I have the upgraded storage, I'm thinking of deleting secondaries. That could be an option, rather than resetting. Delete secondary characters and figure out what to do with the space freed up where their houses were.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

Ugh, why are flies so dang rare?!? I just missed out on one because I saw it in my peripheral vision as I went into my house and it felt like missing a balloon x20...

this really bothered me, honestly; the last time i had my island open for people to shop / go through all the extra diys i had, i had said people could tour around if they wanted but not to expect to see much, as my island is still heavily a wip. but the first thing i asked was that no one picked or ran through my flowers. very first thing that happened? all of my hybrid flowers i was trying to grow were picked. my blues, oranges, blacks, etc. and then none of them were watered before the flower-picker departed from my island.

i haven't opened my island up unless it's been to specific people since then because i just.. don't know if i can trust it. it really puts a damper on trying to be generous when it's shoveled back in your face.
