So apparently you can only get the Switch Lite item if you have a NSO subscription. Even though it appears in the daily selections tab? I'm so tired of all this "exclusive" stuff, it reminds me too much of a mobile game. I'm still not getting the sub because I still don't want it enough

I really wish you could give gifts to villagers who were sat down. Or they gave a way to get villagers to stand up.

On an unrelated note

Get off the ejfiqsbie9qwb bench!!!

Still struggling to get Graham’s picture. I am annoyed they keep changing the way we can get their picture. i had been using the stacked fruit trick for so long... grrr...

Sticks are so annoying

I feel like they should have stopped falling from trees after you complete the prologue or something >: (

It's not the most elegant solution, but if you hide 15 sticks behind cliffs or buildings, it stops more from spawning on the ground (you can still shake trees for them). Same for rocks, but you only need 1 for that, I think.

Why are we still stuck on the second expansion of the Nook store?

I’m sick of having seasonal updates with no improvements on the basic aspects of the game.

Cranky villagers were always my favorite for the sass but all they seem to talk about in NH is how old they are. It’s disappointing

I just got a photo handed back to me the other day for some wrapped coconuts. So working for me? Unless they mean something else.

The stacked fruit method no longer works.
It was having a full inventory and a stack of fruit unwrapped. You give them a fruit from the stack and because your inventory was still full they could not give you a gift. They would post it to you the next day and it would always be an item instead of clothing. It made it more likely you'd get a photo.

No that got removed in the latest update I believe
Kinda surprised it made it this far into the game tbh as it was kind of an exploit

ohhh that's not what i was doing, didn't even know about the full inventory thing. it's understandable that they took it out but i wish i had known about it before lol!

So over one year into the game and the furniture selection is still....how should I put this?--utter garbage. Over a year ago, I posted in this very thread about my disappointments regarding the fact that 95% of the furniture sets we know and love have been cut. I had a sliver of hope that'd they eventually come back...but still nothing. Collecting the sets was literally my favorite thing about the previous games. All I want is for them to bring back decent furniture and to give us more upgrades to the Nooklings store (like all the other games have).

Side note: I also wish the villager dialogue was not so dry, generic, repetitive and lacking in personality. Dialogue had already started to slightly go downhill in New Leaf, and in this game, it just became outright terrible. Like the villagers don't even have any personality anymore and just say the same 3 or so lines over and over. Talking to my villagers has become SUCH a chore. Bring back the people who wrote the dialogue for Wild World!

I feel like I keep coming back here and I hate it but I do have grievances, even though I literally adore this game and can’t put it down lol

this time it’s about the windmill thing. I want this one from NL on my island, not the one we currently can buy. I also want the wisteria trellis! I miss some of the PWP from NL, and they’d make wonderful additions to the outdoor furniture in NH.
Maybe this is more of a “suggestion” than a rant, but at this point it feels like they kinda mesh together for me.

No matter how many times I keep coming back to this game its always the same boring and repetitive thing. Villagers keep talking the same, barely anything new has happened so far, and stuff feels pretty much the same as it was before. I took like several breaks from this game, yes I have played other games to kill time, and everytime I come back with a refreshed mind it always gets destroyed because of how dead and how repetitive this game is.

I am expressing how I truly feel about this game after a year of playing and I still disappointed that it hasn't even "tried" to give us new content or features to look forward to. This would not bother me so much if Nintendo gave us a trailer that was showing us what to look forward to in 2021 instead of just leaving us in the dark speculating and wondering when the next update is.

I get it that the updates are coming and I understand but that question is "when?" How long do we have to keep speculating until eventually it will happen. I'm sorry to sound so negative and if that bothers some people, but I am really just tired of dealing with the same stuff everytime I log onto this game.

I can relate. I love the game but there's lots to both rant and rave about. I also definitely miss that windmill and the trellis!

Then stop playing the game.
Just move on.
You dont enjoy the game any more, and I dont wish to be rude but you need to just accept it, and get over it.

No game can last forever.
I love this series. I love it enough that I preordered the themed switch, even though I had a switch already.
But no game in the series has kept my attention longer than 3 months.
I think a game that can keep my attention every day for months is an incredible game! That's a huge achievement.

This game has lasted you around a year. You had a good run with it.
But it cannot last forever.
Nothing lasts forever.

Play an older entry in the series.
Play a different game.
But if you can't have fun with this game... forget it even exists.
Youre just making yourself miserable and taking out on the game.

Agree was disappointed there was no windmill, I hope they bring back all the PWP’s from NL. We did get a bunny topiary so maybe they can bring back the NL topiaries and trellis back.

I just finally got the golden shovel diy after playing every day for more than a year and it’s just so disappointing how anticlimactic it is. It would have been so awesome if hitting a rock with a golden shovel would make all materials pop out in one hit, or would increase your chance of getting gold or just... something!

I really hate how they did the Gold Tools. I mean what is the whole point of getting them if they break? I really don't understand what they were thinking. Gold Nuggets are still rare to find and now you have to worry about those Gold tools breaking.

I no longer use gold tools anymore because I am so fed up and angry that I wasted all that time getting those gold tool diys only to have them break. I use normal tools because AT LEAST when you customize them it restarts their durability, If you're wondering if you can customize the golden tools you cannot do that. I mean it just makes them feel more worthless than ever.

Probably the reason why I'm not even bother to collect those golden DIY tools. Not only do they still break, they also have no advantage compared to the regular tools, except that they are a bit more stable, but that's pretty much it. It's imo more a waste of gold nuggets if these tools basically acting like any other tool.

I think they are worth the gold.
However as the final reward for like a year of effort it is a bit anticlimactic

I was checking my fish Critterpedia and realized that I never gave Blathers a pond smelt and they are only in season a few months of the year. Ugh. I might need to time travel back and grab one. And I need to remember to take him a goldfish.

Also, I wish there was a component in Critterpedia where it recorded or we ourselves could record when we earn the critter model. It's hard to remember which ones I have.
