It would be so nice if we could craft them or plant them on the island.

Imagine being able to craft the top to make a hat like that one Pokemon. Vileplume I think? That'd be pretty cool. Or being able to dig them up and replant them wherever you want.
Although not the same items, I put together a list of items that I thought to look similar. Link
Yeah, I agree that it sucks that Lottie's wig, the bow wig and princess hair wig aren't here anymore.

Some of NH's QoL features and other things to make gameplay more convenient has honestly ruined part of my experience with this game. And, some things that are actually tedious and need to be more convenient, like multi-crafting, have still been ignored.
e.g.,
> The post card stand replacing the pelicans, and replacing Harriet with a mirror – convenient for sure, but the heart is gone.
> Being able to buy 1,000s of some items like bushes at once instead of working your way up to buying them each day (which was always the point of AC, at least for me – there's just so little sense of progression if I can just buy lots at once).
> Flowers never wilting – I miss watering flowers myself, and they spread like weeds.
> Nook Miles. They are so easy to get and the items in the Nook Stop are way too cheap. A lighthouse for only like 5,000 miles? I liked how expensive these things were in NL, honestly.

thanks, that's actually really sweet of you!
i do know there are similar items for some of them, but i'm picky, and can't help missing those items specifically. especially the thick glasses, partly because they're what my irl glasses look like. i've tried all the other glasses in the game, but none of them look good imo. i do have them in PC, however, and my character (who looks the same as she does in NH) looks amazing, so it makes me really sad that they weren't carried over.
for some of them, i will admit it's just minor details, but for others it's not. like the tiara hair in NH vs. NL are essentially two completely different wigs whereas for the trench coat, the only real difference is that the NL one is a dress and the NH one is a shirt. (trench coats, at least the ones i own, are fairly long, so the NH ones being so short just puts me off wearing them lmao.) i do actually love the wedding dress in NH, but it is a different design to the cake dress, and the way the skirts of the ballgowns move lowkey bothers me. with the overall dress, it's just that i love the color scheme and more flow-y skirt of NL's, but i do adore and frequently wear the NH ones.
completely ready to admit i'm just nitpicky, but the clothes are always my favorite parts of these games so i can't help missing some of the NL ones and wishing i could see/wear them in beautiful HD. especially my beloved thick glasses and hairbow wig asdfghjkl.
No worries, no harm done. I agree. The tiara wig although it's updated, the design is different. I forgot that the trench coat is a shirt, oops. The glasses could use an upgrade in that area as well.
I agree with you. I miss the post office and going to Harriet for a hair cut. I liked answering her questions. I liked watering the flowers more in NL because you were bringing them back to life. They need more items you can buy with nook miles. Bring back the windmill and the rest of the PWP’s . I wouldn’t mind if they cost more nook miles.
They made writing letters way more tedious in this game then it has ever been. It wasn't broken before. They could had sold them at Nooks, let you write them on your own leisure, and then deliver them to Oriville for him to process for mailing. I didn't even know letters were a thing until months later because I barely used the airport.
I am totally with you on Harriet and hairstyles. I don't know, it just feels really superficial and shallow how you can just face-putty your looks and hair on the go. Heck even having Harriet being on the phone and you have to dial her for appointments where she comes to your home or wherever you are would still have more charm then what they did. Some way to not sacrifice the convenience, but also give it some charm/energy.
I don't really agree with the bushes though. That was a pain having to buy one bush only per day. I guess they could've had some limit of bushes in stock per day. Like 20-30 or whatever. I also had my town on beautiful ordinance, so I never had to water my flowers anyway. However, not being able to store them is a pain and they breed so much more easily and faster than NL ever did. It's a bit excessive. If it rains it's guaranteed I am going to be doing a lot of digging. It's great that they can't be destroyed, but it'd be nice if you didn't need to dig them all up with a shovel. Maybe something like tap A to pull petal and double tap to pull the whole flower.

Make sure u have a confetti popper I'm hand shake the tree first before cutting it. If there's a wasp nest immediately use the popper~Who thought wasp nests were a good idea?
All I'm trying to do is collect wood so I can build my first shop and then...BZZZZZZZZ!

Or you can have a Warp Pipe nearby and then as soon as the wasps spawn run away fast and jump into the Warp Pipe and the wasps will go away.

Nintendo probably figured people wouldn't want that only their islands lol. But I do hope they bring them back because I'm trying to catch a fly but I can't catch any trash at all do I'm stuck
And rafflesias would be a good plant for people with zen islands imo
The villager interaction/dialogue in this game is painfully lacking.
I decided to boot up my second New Leaf town to check in on everybody (unrelated but I the music to be so much prettier in New Leaf). I haven’t even talked to all my villagers yet but I’ve already been given three tasks to do.
Stitches asked me to find him some fruit, Fuschia asked me to bury her time capsule, and Aurora has asked me to deliver a gift to Harry. I’m not terribly far into this New Leaf town so my friendships aren’t very high with anybody but I’m still given tasks like this. Sure, some could complain that they’re busywork - but I like them. It makes me feel like I’m part of my town, interacting with my villagers, and helping them out.
Compare that to New Horizons and the most I ever get asked is to deliver a gift, change something that they say, buy an item from them, or sell something to them, give or take a few more options. In New Leaf there’s also the possibility of a villager asking me to play hide and seek (which I absolutely adore), or setting up a time to visit in one of our respective houses. I dunno. New Leaf villagers just feel more like friends and actually villagers vs little cardboard cutouts.

Oh my god yes. I've had people tell me the dialogue is so much better in this game, but mine never initiate the better/new dialogue like the others state. Could just be rng and me being unlucky, but they always want to comment on what I am holding, wearing, or what I did the other day. And when those exhaust, they'll talk about where they are. So if it's near a neighbor's home it will be 'Doesn't this house just say 'Curlos' to you! Like even if you didn't know they lived here, you knew it was their home' or whatever.
I also have Hazel always say 'What are you going to do for the next 8 hours, psyche!' It just reads really awkwardly and dialogue like that and Flora telling me how she played hide-and-seek by herself and that is how bored she is makes it feel like a jab sort of lol. Come to think of it, I haven't had Flora say this bit in a long time. They must've cut it out like they did with the Roost dialogue at the very beginning of the game.
I remember commenting how much I hated the villagers putting me to work in NL and I guess I got what I asked for in NH because I never want to bother talking to them anymore lol. It would be nice if there was a 'Let's talk', and 'Give me work!/Do you need something?' option. That way if you're not in the mood to be put to work, you just select the chat option.

Yeah and I said this so many times, but if Villagers would've just said different things each day and not repeat the same topics over and over again it would not be so much of an issue. I really find myself not talking to villagers because I know what they are going to say. Its so predictable. I know some people are going to disagree when I say this but the original AC and Wild World had a more better dialogue than the newer games.
I know there is the argument that the villagers were too mean in the old AC games, but thats what made then unique. Every conversation you used to have them felt different each day and it always gave you a reason to keep talking to them even thought sometimes they can be rough with you, which is fine because thats how real conversations work. What we got in New Horizons is not really that good. Again I don't have issues of how they say things in the game, but when you have to hear them talk about the same topics and ask the same questions it gets repetitive.
Don't get me wrong the villagers are really good looking in New Horizons and I really like how they are different, but again the problem is, is that they tend to repeat themselves too often. I know some people don't see that and like you said it could be just bad RNG to get different dialogue but it should not be that way. So yeah I stand by with what I said that the dialogue in this game is not really that good.
My dialogue is never better, either!
Maybe I am just unlucky but I feel like my villagers have always said the same things, no matter how long I've had them for or my friendship status with them. Like Sherb and Egbert are both lazies and their dialogue is always exactly the same despite me having a picture from Egbert but not Sherb. I feel like if my villagers ping me it's either to buy/sell or change something that they say. It's rarely to deliver a gift to another villager. I find a lot of their dialogue can be kind of strange, too! I can't remember word for word but there's others where the whole interaction is just the villager asking themselves what they should do today. I've always felt like that dialogue should lead into us playing a game or setting up a time to hangout, but it never does. It's just strange. I really miss playing hide and seek with them and burying the time capsules is a really cute interaction, too! Especially when we get to dig it back up in the future.
I can definitely understand why some people complained about the villagers in New Leaf giving us so much work, lol. But coming from New Horizons it was such a breath of fresh air and I've always loved doing favours for them! I think it would be an easy fix to implement what you want, though. Just the option between a, "how're you today?" or "I'm bored!" to trigger either a regular chat or a task.
@-Lumi- Yeah the problem I had with NL sometimes was that whenever I just wanted to talk to them and see how their day was, what they're up to, ect, they put me to work. And that rubbed me the wrong way. But I never get them asking for any requests so I wouldn't mind being put to work a bit more in this game or just as much as it was in NL. It'd give me a reason to talk to them more to see what kind of requests the dev team would bother adding in.
I know who you're talking about to. I think it's normal villagers that say that. And the first time I got that bit of dialogue, I didn't realize the conversation had ended. I was half-expecting another line or some options I could choose from for them. Also is it just me or have the double villager conversations been removed and or toned down? I remember seeing them all the time when I first started the game and now I never see any unless it's one of my villager's wanting to steal the others catchphrase. Or once or twice it was a short-lived conversation, but I wasn't really involved. I remember catching so many different double conversations that I had multiple options to choose from. And now they're gone.
The hide-and-seek dialogue is definitely the one that bothers me the most though. It's like they know that people found it fun, but decided just to give it an honorable mention.

That's exactly how I felt too! Sometimes Gabi says something that's really short and I'm always left thinking, "that's it? That's the whole conversation?" they've definitely chosen to include some strange dialogue. Honestly I can't say if I've noticed either way with the double villager conversations! I feel like I never saw them tons but even then they were growing tiresome. I always feel bad when I see Egbert talking to Diana because I just know they're having that terrible peanut butter and jelly conversation
I love getting to see other villagers chat but I avoid my snooty & lazies because it always seems to be the same thing.The hide and seek one is definitely the worst! I'm always ready for the villager to invite me to play but they never do.
Like, you don't have to play alone! I'm right here and I'd love to play too. Hide and seek was so cute in New Leaf, I'm really not sure why it's not in this game.
