I believe when the game was being developed, the cliffs had a different colored texture and I preferred when it was that texture

I dont really know where else to go with this so that's why I'm bringing it here. Its not about the game itself, I've said many and plenty of times that I think ACNH is comparatively sparse on content but that I still enjoy playing. It's very fun and I know downloads will be coming for quite a while.
I'm gonna be blunt: my biggest problem with the game isn't with the game at all, its the new players, or rather, a subset of new players. Particularly new players that keep bringing things like hard right conservatism in general into the game, but have never even heard of AC before now. They keep trying to use the game to push horrible things.
Lately, I've been noticing it getting more...idk what to call it...aggressive? Esp. with the Trump thing. I just wanna know if its just me or not. Every time I've seen it, it devolves into vicious name calling, threats and threats of violence. I'm tried of seeing it. Im starting to see everything from trump hats to confederate flags and worse. Even with the mustache problem in WW it's never been this bad before. Its like the hair nonsense on twitter was just the beginning but now its gotten really bad. I always report them but geez. AC community was never this way and while I get that the political climate esp. in the US is pretty bad right now, this crap is ruining the one thing I thought it couldn't touch.
I'm honestly starting to wish that NH never got popular. I know its great for Nintendo, but it makes me want to interact with the larger AC community less and less when this crap is tolerated until reported. Someone asked me yesterday if I knew where to find certain hard right wing patterns then had the nerve to ask me, 'What is New Leaf?' I just sighed and wrote off ever playing with them again.
To be clear, I've never seen it on the Belltree. But going to other AC communities it's like, there be dragons...and worse.

the hair thing was kind of.. above and beyond in my opinion. seeing joe biden's island was.. interesting as well (not that i'm roping those two into the exact same category, don't be confused by those being side-by-side). but those are always the costs with games that give you a large amount of creativity. people will turn their islands into perspectives of their opinion, whether those are very hard opinions or just a "i really like orange, so most of the things on my island are orange."
it is.. extremely disheartening to see so many people go from 0 to 100 extremely quick over things like a hairstyle being used in a fictitious game.
and i can definitely see how players from previous games would become frustrated from seeing this kind of behavior. luckily we aren't all like this though
Yes. I haven't seen it as bad as described but I have seen a steady increase since the game came out. In all honesty it makes me pretty uncomfortable to see political stuff in animal crossing. Esp if if a player made multiple custom designs pertaining to political stances. Not because it is politics themselves but because it is something that person is so wrapped up in that it shows up in an activity that is suppose to be a relaxed fun thing. I dont want to say obession though it wouldnt surprise me if some people are.
Which brings me to the question, do you think nintendo will react to this in future animal crossing games by limiting or taking out custom designs?
Or how do you think nintendo will react to this in the development of future animal crossing games?
I've seem some people brainstorm ideas they wish acnh had to remedy this. One was having stone walls to cover the dirt that matched the paving options. I guess a good way to describe it are those gardens or flower beds on hills people make and they cover the side of the hill with stones to prevent erosion of soil.
There are already systems in place to stop people from sharing offensive or sexually explicit content, so I doubt they'll really change anything. I'm not even sure they care if you post political content - the Biden/Harris island didn't get taken down, from what I know of - so long as it's not related to, like, militia groups. Just because not everyone wants political content in their video games doesn't make it generally offensive.
I am so lucky and blessed, I should say, that people on here have Celeste and offer entrance to get the zodiac DIYs. I managed to craft 2 Capricorn ornaments, and wouldn't have been able to if not for everyone's generosity. Now, we are moving on to Aquarius soon...and still Isabelle doesn't announce anything. Seriously, if Celeste or shooting stars in general are on the island for that day, Isabelle should be REQUIRED to announce it. I don't care. Weekly NPCs and Celeste should always be announced. I'm tired of her morning "announcements". They aren't cute. They are annoying and she has become as useless as poor Label.
Exactly! It's so odd too because I'm fairly certain Isabelle announces if you're having a meteor shower? I could be mistaken but I feel like she's told me about them before. So if she can announce meteor showers why can't she announce all the shooting stars? I don't play at night tons, at this stage of the game I generally check in once in the afternoon to visit my shops and say hello to villagers and then I close the game for the night. Since there's not many bugs or fish to catch in the winter I don't see a reason to come back at night - if I knew Celeste was coming though I'd definitely check in.
I also wish she'd announce the wandering NPCs. I mean, I think she should just announce all the NPC's but especially the ones who don't stick to the plaza! I've definitely missed Flick before - I didn't catch him the first time I played but when I loaded up my game later in the evening I'll spot him hiding in my orchard or something and be bummed cause a lot of the butterflies and things are out during the day.
Isabelle's nonsense announcements were cute for the first week but now I'm over it.

she does in fact tell you about meteor showers, i just got the announcement this morning in fact. but it would be so helpful if celeste was announced that shed be visiting later on because i always think "have i missed celeste since i didnt get on last night?" and i didnt even meet her until months into my game (same with getting shooting stars)
There are slightly annoying changes in ACNH, ones that make stuff too easy or detract from the Animal Crossing character, and then there's the fact that FLOWERS DON'T DIE, EVER
like, on paper this is a good idea, like a lot of nh's other annoying changes... and it's not as if it's a COMPLETELY bad thing because it means i can forget to water my flowers, and deheading them when you run over gives you a bit more wiggle room
but could they make it so you run over them a few more times and they completely break? can they wilt so i'm not stuck with pansies everywhere unless i put stone paths down? GAH

When you are hitting rocks and have close to 99K bells, the coins and bags take up slots instead of the 99K moving to a slot and allowing the other money to stack. Annoying to have to stop after hitting the money rock to arrange the money in the pockets.
Yes, Isabelle does announce a meteor shower when she feels like it...Not sure of the criteria, maybe when its a large one? I can't even remember the last time she announced a meteor shower for me. Its been that long. But regardless of that, it would actually be helpful if she announced wandering special visitors like Celeste and Flick. I don't always play at night so Isabelle announcing that Celeste is visiting would actually be helpful. Like you said, I thought the nonsense stuff she says was cute at first but now its just irritating.

I'd like all the items back, but the anatomical model is in NH.I wish we had this anatomical model in this game, pretty mundane compared to other complaints, but it’s so cool
Here.

I can't believe I never dreamed that up!!! It would be so amazing to be able to change cliff walls, either through Island Designer or through Resident Services like how you would customize town hall and the railroad station in New Leaf. I don't hate the color of the cliffs as much as everyone else, but I just wish there was more to do with it. Being able to change the color would make up for not being able to hang stuff up... but only a little bit.
As someone who TTs a LOT, I feel like I spend 40% of my time now digging up flowers and selling them. And they're all, like, beautiful hybrids and stuff. Most of my island is pink roses and blue hydrangeas. I'm so tired. I'm so, so tired. And I have shovels scattered about my island to replace the ones I inevitably break from digging and digging and digging and digging and digging and
me: *presses Y to pick up item on ground*
villager: *sweeps away pattern on ground with foot*
And it happened when someone was visiting for a trade, too.
Nintendo really needs to make it so that patterns can only be swept up during construction mode.

Yes, but that’s the only anatomical model NH has. There is no see-through version with the heart and arteries, just the one you showed me.
I'm currently working on four character houses and while building them up, I noticed two huge faults which giving me struggle right now:
- Being forced to build rooms you don't need/want
Why are we forced to build all three rooms in the first floor before we can get the second floor? In New Leaf, you only had to upgrade the main room, then you were able to get the second floor. The other rooms as well as the basement were additions and you could decide on your own if you want them or not. You could even decide on which side you would like to add a extra room and they were also expandable. One of the houses I'm working on is a sort of replica of a character's house (or more like apartment) from a movie I really like and I don't need the room in the back at all, yet the second floor. I'm forced however to build the back room just to get the needed second floor. Why, just why? What if you don't need/want all four rooms and only need/want one extra room as well as the second floor for an example? Like not everyone needs/wants a big house, yet would like to use certain rooms on certain sides. This is by far one of the dumbest changes they made, I now have to cover up the entrance to the back room with simple panels to get rid off it. It kinda works, still looks a bit odd.
I like NH, it's probably my favorite AC game, but for the love of Resetti, drop an update which gives you more freedom in terms of building up your house. I would pay a good amount of bells just to be able to get rid off rooms I don't need (along with an option to move windows to other spots in the room or getting rid off them completely without changing the wallpaper. It's a small issue, yet one which can be fixed too.).
- The lack of furniture
Yeah, I know I'm the 79383927th person who complains about this and as much as I like the new items in NH, it just misses all the great furniture sets and pieces from the previous titles, which is a damn shame. The house which is based of the movie I mentioned is suppose to have a more 80s-ish look, as said movie is from the 80s. Therefore, I tried to give the house a more retro look, which works overall quite good, except for certain pieces like the TV for an example. NH only has those flat-screen TVs (and the apple shaped TV), of course it looks weird when you try to make a 80s themed house and then you see a modern TV standing there. It just ruins the overall theme imo. New Leaf had a few older TVs, one which would have fit perfectly to the house I'm working on if it would have been available in the game. Heck, they are even available in Pocket Camp, why did they get rid off them in NH? Earlier today, I watched a video where someone recreated their New Leaf island in NH, including the character houses with their interior decoration. It's shocking to see how many great items are missing in NH and how difficult to pretty much impossible it is to recreate or replace them with NH items, as they don't have the same charm (and of course design) at all.
I pray to the video game gods that they gonna drop some smaller updates in the future, which just adding some more random furniture from the previous games. Like, I don't want any event themed items, just give me please some normal looking house furniture with different themes ffs.
Yeah, I also wondered why you could no longer choose which rooms you wanted to add. I'm not sure about this, but is it possible that NH has much fewer customisation options for what the outside of the house looks like? I could be wrong here, but last I checked it was mostly different colors of the same few options.

New Leaf had in fact more options compared to NH. There were more unique looking designs available for the facade, roof, door and mail box along with even the option to change the overall look of your house. Happy Home Designer (although only being a spin-off game) also offered some more designs which looked pretty cool. I really don't understand why they don't added those to NH and even removed some (like the option with picking and expanding rooms).
