• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

The ACNH Rant Thread

There is such a simple change nintendo could make to fix this problem.
When the villager asks how the shirt looks and you tell them it's horrible, and then they take it off saying "let's just pretend this never happened"... not have them wear it again 2 days later.

Such a misleading interaction
Butch just started wearing this pink dress. I thought he got rid of it when I delivered it to him from Curlos (Last time I ever did a request for him lol) and told him that it didn't look good. He took it off and I thought that was that. And now he is wearing it again.

That's why I'm so careful of visitors. I do not let them in Able's under most circumstances. All it takes is one "sharing" a design and it spreads like wildfire to your other villagers. I get some people trying to be nice, but it isn't at least without asking. From what I understand you cannot remove custom designs displayed, you have to cycle them out.

I don't have that problem as none of my friends play this game anymore. Which is kind of a shame because I wanted to chill with them, but when the game came out it was during peak pandemic and I was swamped with covid-essential work.

I remember switching all of Able designs in NL to umbrella patterns and none of the villagers could take from them. That's probably not possible anymore I am guessing.
 
I've undergone a huge project and now that I see the finish line... I really dislike it and wish this game didn't have auto saves
I feel the Auto saves make me more stressed in game then I would if it wasn’t there, I totally get you dude. Especially with island design, had that happen to me, I hope you get it fixed to how you like soon.

I was trying to make the area behind resident services a usable one.
As it stands the space is too small for anything to be done and villagers liked to walk back there where I cant see them and then I spend forever looking for them.

5 hours after I started the project, the island is back to how it was... mostly.
Only lost 2 million bells in the process.
But hey, I learnt to be happy with compromise I guess :p
 
I hate, hate, hate how items hang off the sides of the 2x1 tables, such as the antique console table. The antique console table is one of my favorite pieces of furniture and it would be perfect for displaying two miscellaneous items, except for the fact that the items hang off the sides. I have noticed this in my own house, and now I just noticed it in Piper's house. Her portable record player just hangs off the side of her antique console table. The developers should fix this. It's just so dumb. Two 1x1 items should fit on a 2x1 table without hanging off.

I'm trying to decorate my Poyson Garden using the strange mushroom set but I'm not a big fan of blue and the mush lamps are blue for that set. I'm not sure if I should switch them to green or white. Or maybe I should use multiple colors. I wish there were a gray mush lamp or that I was better with color arrangement. The flowers are poisonous ones: lilies, windflowers, and tulips. I picked the colors orange, purple, and black with a few blue. It's almost Halloween colors so I could decorate with spooky arches and such. But I don't like how the spooky arch sort of slants to one side. It's not slanting in the direction I need. Decisions, decisions.

Have to agree the auto saving seems like more of a hinderance than a positive. It feels like it was included to draw the line on certain things rather than end up helping; kind of one of those "We're okay with you time traveling but we're going to put some restrictions in to offset that."
 
i wanted to put my new natural ramp here .. but

what do you mean it's too close to the water?!


i was feeling like screaming, cause i really wanted it there... but i didn't ... i only had to find a new place for it... & i did.. reluctantly ...

my original place for it would've been so good for it too...
I think the game meant you were too close to the beach? Notice the end of the square is on the beach cliff. Or.. it's a glitch. It's kinda sad that the game didn't let you put the ramp there, because it fits the area.

i know, right? 🥺 :cautious:
that's what i had in mind, originally :3


i probably wouldn't notice a glitch, though...



edit at 12:53 pm - i just had a thought: what if... when i get teraforming.. i knock some of the cliff out where i wanted it originally & then put the ramp there... i wonder if it'd work, then? :sneaky:

That's why I don't do much terraforming if I have an idea I am not sure about. I've already spent so much time doing and undoing stuff that you can't quite see if it will work out or not. And then you have to waste hours undoing it? No one finds that fun. Destroying the land one piece at a time. It's so time consuming.

I used to terraform more in NL when we had less features because I could just close the game and go back to status quo without losing anything. No one ever complained about AC not having an auto-save feature. They tacked that on to battle whatever it is that they're battling.

That will totally work :)
 
I find it highly annoying how Blathers talks about bugs. He just goes on and on and on. Okay Blathers you don't like bugs, we get it!
 
The walls and flooring are so poorly designed.

I miss NL's awesome walls and flooring.

This is mass produced garbage.

Take a look at the library wall.
It's dull and flat with no detail like it had in NL and even WW.

They have barely any variety, and they are all horrid.

It's a switch game, yet I've seen better graphics on a gameboy advance.

I believe Custom designs are removed if you report them to Isabelle. So it shouldn't be too big of a headache if it should happen. The real problem is delivering gifts to villagers breaks them as they will keep the outfit in their inventory and wear it even if you tell them it doesn't look good. The trick is to deny all delivery requests. They aren't worth the friendship points, and you'll never lose any by denying a request.
 
I haven't terraformed in months and I really want to try something new out on my island, but I keep putting it off because the autosave will permanently keep all the changes there, even though I have a feeling I won't like it...

I just really don't want to redo all the cliffs, redig and replant all the trees and flowers, and replace the items if I don't like how it turns out. It's part of what makes terraforming so stressful for me.
 
To the people saying that they want pocket camp items in nh, that may not happen right away. Pocket camp HAS to make new items in whatnot to keep players hooked. It's a mobile game. Otherwise they'd just get bored. New horizons was first focusing on the special characters because they were so focused on the game they kinda forgot about them (even though enough to fill a house are still missing). So point is, here's a chart I made for people who don't understand what I'm saying here:
New horizons
2020: main goal: add some missing characters and events
2021: main goal:add back some old furniture sets (so far it's hard to tell what will happen later in the year)
Maybe 2022?: main goal: maybe add some pocket camp items and maybe some furniture that summons special characters to your island like pocket camp does.
