Figured I should stop procrastinating decorating my houses. I just spent forever designing one of my themed houses in harvey's...ordered everything to start setting it up for real...only to realize harvey's house is bigger than ours really is.
-__- I really hate these tiny side rooms...thanks a lot developers.

I also can't believe the rooms are so small. It's a step back from the previous game. I'm hoping that eventually it's an added upgrade.

I really hope so. 6x6 from 8x8 doesn't sound major...but it really is considering half the things that set the tone of the rooms I had with harvey's I now have to find a way to eliminate.
I don't really understand even why they'd set harvey's up that way only to tease us. I thought one of the useful aspect of Harvey's was to preplan rooms before ordering and I know quite a few streamers use it for such.

I know I'm probably late to the game and it's been discussed but ughhh lol..needed to rant.

This really bothers me! I didn’t use Harvey’s Island for ages but just recently started and I’m so confused?? Why is his house a different layout, it’s such a small change but so frustrating.

I’m not a huge fan of how the house upgrades are handled in this game. I love how the exterior is done (being able to change it all at once) although I do miss some of the more fun exteriors like the sweets one for the holidays. Getting side tracked though!

I wish all the rooms could be upgraded fully. I liked how in New Leaf I’d get a room addition and then I could choose to make it bigger (and I think there was three different upgrades?) or leave it small. Save for the main room that had to be fully upgraded but still, I liked having the option. In New Horizons the rooms are all awkwardly small save for my main floor and upstairs (I haven’t gotten all the rooms yet) and it makes me a bit sad.

Not that I know what furniture I’d want to use in the rooms anyways but having them be small is extra limiting!

Kind of piggybacking off what the last person said about room sizes.... I just realized today that Harv’s house has bigger rooms than our own! Totally not fair in my opinion
I am also a bit frustrated now because I just spent the past couple of days decorating the back room in Harv’s house so that I could see what everything looked like before I spent the money to buy everything and I got it just perfect, just to find out not everything is going to fit in my actual house. So now I will have to replant everything and it’s just a bit frustrating. I really love the amount of space in Harv’s house and I don’t see why the game couldn’t let us have that much space

 

[Starboard]

Lol, I even knew Harv's rooms were bigger and I used simple panels to block it off, and I still managed to get the size wrong. Not my brightest hour.

It's also a pain because the doorways are placed differently in the big rooms and they confuse me visually when I try to design for a little room.

They could have had at least one 6x6 room in there honestly!

It just doesn’t make any sense to me why his rooms are bigger.
I really wish they would let us expand again to make our rooms bigger too. I don’t feel like that’s going to happen though.

I am so fed up of harvesting balloons for 1+ hours a night and only getting one or two DIY recipes. Why do they make it so hard? Why can't we just get festive recipes from villagers or some other way than rubbish unreliable RNG. Seasonal recipes shouldn't be such a chore to get. (and yes I know it's a common complaint but I'm just so fed up, I think I only have 2 or 3 recipes after almost 20 days of grinding!)

Completely agree with you They make it so impossible to get them all and then the season is over and unless you want to time travel or trade online, you’re out of luck.
I loved that the spooky DIYs could be crafted by villagers. I don’t understand why other seasonal DIYs can’t also be crafted by them...

Maybe because the rooms were intended to be populated will villagers for photo-ops. The rooms in the player house would be too small and crowded for such

 

[moonlightxo]

I hate how you can only buy 5 items at a time when you buy stuff in bulk, especially when I need to buy a lot of bush starts from Leif

Yes!! By the time I got all the mush DIYs, fall was over. I had no time left to enjoy the items before it was time to put them away. Halloween was done right - I got all the recipes quickly. I don't understand why they are making it so hard.

came here to rant ab FLOWERS !!! I never thought I would get frustrated by the overgrowth of flowers (especially hybrid flowers) but alas here I am with a beach full of orange, purple, and pink because they will not stop spreading! I recently made the transparent square in custom designs to pose as a flower stopper.. haha. does anyone else deal with this issue? and are you surprised it bothers you? I love flowers so much!!! I want all of them - and at this point I do have all of them! I am grateful. but, my villagers need micro environments more than they need flowers taking over the land. lol.

For sure they used to be out of control on my island. Then I slowly started putting down the transparent square and it's never an issue anymore. It's a bit annoying to do at first but it's worth it to not have to worry about flowers everywhere!

I know your pain! Ever since I cleaned my island up it's been a major pain keeping it clean because it keeps snowing. I know I can put patterns down but the way my flowers are spread out it would take a horrifically long time and sound so weird running through the areas that I'd rather just dig them up

Edit: I just booted my game up and it's snowing, normally that would make me happy but at this point I'm so tired of digging up flowers I didn't even want to play. I wish they'd make the spawn rate lower after snow.

 

[xKiYoMiNaTiONx]

The last couple of days I've had the hardest time getting my darn snowballs to form into my snowboy... i just try to get them to hop on the other, but they just wouldn't do it that i ended up breaking my snowballs to reset them... TT

The problem with Nintendo releasing a fraction of the game, and then updating it every few months means this game will severely lose it replayability sometime in the future.

In the future, when the game and its updates are no loner offered digitally, and you're left with the cartridge, unless your Switch contains the update data, you will likely be unable to obtain them any longer

With the base game, you're be missing

• Guilivarrr and pirate set
• Pascal and Mermaid set
• Diving and deep sea creatures
• Leif, Hedges, Shrubs, Pumpkins, etc.
• Every holiday event. Including Fireworks, anniversary, May Day, Nature Day... ALL events and all furniture with those
• Redd, art, museum expansion
• Expanded house storage, sitting, and other little things
• All future content (Maybe: Café, Nook's Cranny, Re-tail, QOL, etc)

Also, all bug fixes will be lost. That means glitched plots and all the other game breaking ones. The fix to special visitor for showing up at least once every 2-weeks will be lost, though not much of a problem seeing as Redd won't be a thing.

Hopefully at some point Nintendo releases an updated cartridge of the game like with Welcome Amiibo.

I've said this exact same thing when the game was released and some people criticized me for that. I even gave the best possible example in Street Fighter V, a game that has the exact same model of distribution.

I absolutely hope that Nintendo ends up releasing a full version in a cartridge when the dev cycle is finally complete, so this version of AC won't be lost to time like many other games. Preservation is one of the most debated topics in video game development and media right now (outside of the frequent hype generated by regular yes men from the media) and it would be a damn shame if Nintendo, of all developers, decided not to care about the preservation of a game that's so important for millions of people.

I was using the ten tiles long path trick to get perfect snowmen. Worked for the first three but couldn't get it to work for the last two. Reloaded five times yesterday before giving up in disgust.

Also, balloon DIYs. Just ugh.

 

[MeganPenguin]

One thing I miss about New Leaf was being able to meet new players on the island. That was were I met people to play with when I was younger! It was also fun to go on the tours with people. I haven't met anyone from Animal Crossing New Horizons which is sad. It feels like I'm missing out on something from the last series.

is it just me, or would anyone else be more willing to giveaway diys if they just gave us a way to store them? i want to giveaway all my extra diys i get, but i end up selling them because i dont want them to take up space on my island

Yeah, mine often end up in the trash can as I have no where else to put them.
