The ACNH Rant Thread

So...many...mountain parkas
Too...many...rugby uniforms
Please...no...more...chef's outfits

Villager A: Here's a mountain parka
10 seconds later...
Villager B: I've been reading in my guide to a better life that the key to happiness is a mountain parka...wait...you actually have one? Can I trade you my rugby uniform for it?
 
I keep reading that players are sick of fishing up trash. My complaint is I can't seem to find any lately, and I needed them for a few diy's. I do however catch rocks quite a lot.
There was a way to terraform a trash pond, but from what I've read, it may have been patched.

If anyone here knows if it still works, let us know!

(Just google trash ponds.)
 
"hey i heard you love these!" no you didnt

The peppy dialogue where they gift you something awful saying they heard you love it is so annoying that it's kind of funny. It's all worth it when you earn their photo though, imo.

My rant for the day is that I can't seem to get my island from 4 to 5 stars. I really don't want to upgrade the museum to include art. Now when Redd visits, I can't buy anything because I haven't donated the original real painting to Blathers. And Isabelle keeps telling me to add more decorations but I'm not sure how many points the upgraded museum is worth vs the basic one and how many points I have and how many more points I need.

I don't think upgrading the Museum will help at all. So don't if you don't want to upgrade it, don't worry about it just yet.

If you use my DA, you can see my 5-Star Island from Dec 10 ( I should probably get around to updating that). In my opinion, I don't really have that many items placed outside. It may give you an understanding of what's needed without going overboard. DA-3859-9293-1471

There's also guide here you can check out

As far as I know, you don't need to upgrade the museum (that upgrade wasn't in the launch build, and I don't think the star rating stuff was patched to consider it). I think for infrastructure, it's looking for the nook upgrade, able sisters, and the basic museum. Having all 10 villagers and at least one bridge and incline helps. The rest is just fences, furniture, and flowers.
 
I have been playing ACNH for over 8 months and I'm really, really tired of being forced to take duplicate DIY recipes. If you can refuse to take the DIY when it's new to you, why can't you refuse it when you already have it? It doesn't make sense at all. This is one of the stupidest elements in the game. I've taken to carrying a trash can in my pockets so I can toss crap whenever I want.

I also hate that you can't break out of some conversations, like when Isabelle keeps going on and on after giving the island rating. Or having to listen to CJ's ridiculously long explanation when you first interact with him on a given day.

I think I found out one of the biggest issues I have with this game. I still like it for what it is, but I remember playing NewLeaf and the other games to talk/interact with the villagers. Dialogue, tasks, visits, games, ect.

It was fun to pop the game in at night and unwind doing something as simple as that. I go on NH and terraforming/landscaping doesn't really capture that chill atmosphere (for me) where I can just unwind.

Well, then that won't be a problem for long. Eventually you won't need to terraform your island anymore (when you're finally satisfied with your layout), which means you'll be able to play the game the same way as the previous ones that didn't have terraforming.

You'll be able to focus on other things, and it's even possible that, by the time you're done with terraforming, they may have added more content that you like, be it The Roost, minigames or other things that you enjoy.

lol that's the thing. I don't really care about the terraforming aspect right now. If more stuff is added in an update, that may change. I barely touch the terraform app as it is. So I haven't really touched the game that much at all.
 
I wish we can mass-delete mail.

If you're someone who time travels frequently like myself, mail accumulate and there's no way I'm going to delete 200+ messages one by one 😒
Forgive me if I'm wrong but aren't the emails automatically deleted after you reach the 300 mark? I mean, you can't have more than 300 emails in your inbox, so the game automatically deleted the oldest emails whenever you receive a new one.
 
so lately all ive been able to hear from my villagers are "you look great in -outfit-!" and variants of that. i barely used to get this dialogue but now its every single time i talk to any villager

Same. My guess is it's related to changing my outfit so frequently right now.

I actually have no idea.

I try not to let them reach 300 because I thought I won't be able to receive new mail if my inbox was full 🤔

I’m fairly certain they are automatically deleted! I haven’t manually deleted a piece of mail and I’ve been playing since release. I’ve ordered plenty of things and with the amount of Happy Home letters and villager letters we get I’m sure I’ve received more than 300 letters at this point! 🥰

That's good to hear 😌
Thanks for letting me know.

I'm gonna say it again.

Sending letters should be way easier to do (like in earlier games)

I want to be able to order more than 5 items from catalog (like in earlier games)

I want the museum to have info signs as well, since it only displays species name and by who it's donated (like in the art sections and... you guessed it, like in earlier games)
