The ACNH Rant Thread

The issue is that I made my map a bit complicated. It’s all grid like , and there’s no space on land to actually build the houses. It would require me to terraform and remove not just some items but also some cliffs. The only options is the beach area, and I’m just very very hesitant to move those. Right now the spots I like the most are the beaches. So I’m scared to delete them and then have them not turn out exactly the same. Also, my beach areas are probably the areas with the most furniture on them. That’s why I think the amiibos might be the easiest for me. One of them I’m replacing anyways, so the friendship is not really an issue. The other is either going to be Curt or Avery ( just one). I got them both at the same time. They’re both pretty much new to the island, so losing the friendship is something I can deal with. It’s just the whole process of winning a camper over through the amiibos is something time consuming. Both options are pretty much equally time consuming. I’ve been holding off on them, but I know I’m definitely doing it.

My complicated map

Not sure whether this helps with your beaches, but when I'm changing up an area of my island and I'm not sure whether I'll like the end result, I take a quick photo or screenshot of the area so that I know exactly how everything was arranged, and can put it back the way it was if I want to. I see where you're coming from though, it's so time consuming moving everything around!

Why did they ruin the orange wallpaper??? It used to be my go to for my kitchen in past games.

I'm curious why the edges of the oranges aren't rounded in the latest wallpaper and the same with the other fruit wallpaper. Why did they choose to make the edges so choppy and bad? Is this just a type of common artistic style I'm unaware of and don't understand? I'm actually curious. I saw a few items in pocket camp have these choppy edges on them too when they'd be much better looking rounded and I just don't understand.

I miss the basket flowers from the old games(minus the GC version) to be honest.

What happens when you try that in this game? (I never tried it and I'm curious)

You throw down a single flower in a vase. I think the flower basket looks cute. I don't remember that from PG, but it's been so long since I last played it. They could easily bring them back by having us craft 4-5 petals for a flower basket of each variety.

Oh i see. I hope they add the style from the old games because I'm thinking of making a flower shop on my island and the flowers in one little box like that would be perfect.

I wish we knew what was coming for the next updates (or at least when...)
Just wanna know what to expect!

Hmm, may day is coming up again so maybe the next update will have something to do with that? Like maybe rover will have a time trail where you can race to find rover online with your friends and whoever finds him first wins bells or something like that.

In my bedroom upstairs I have some starry garlands along the far wall. They're up I think as high as they can be placed. On the floor in front of the wall I have a wardrobe and a mirror amongst other things. Why is it that sometimes when I go to look in the mirror or open my wardrobe my little character will jump up and turn off the lights?? She doesn't do it often but whenever she does it's such a hassle because she never seems to be able to turn them back on unless I move my furniture.

I don't know how or if this issue could be fixed but it's just getting on my nerves, lol. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens often enough.

I find that some of the flowers look really good as single flowers in vases but then there are some flowers that i feel would look a lot better in the baskets.

I'm considering time travelling repeatedly so that I only play during the days with cherry blossoms lol. I wish the season didn't have to be so short, especially since normal spring looks pretty similar to summer so I'll probably get sick of all the green everywhere for half a year. Really wish they made it go longer. Also so we'd have more time to get those annoying DIYs.

I really wish that cherry blossom season was longer, too! I know that in real life cherry blossom season isn't very long so that's likely why it's short in New Horizons as well, but it's still a bummer. It's a fictional game and I really don't think anybody would fault them for letting the cherry blossoms hang around. I absolutely adore the pink colour on all my trees and getting to see the petals falling everywhere is so peaceful, lol. I would love it if the season could hang around for all of April and maybe even some of May but some people might find that to be too long.

I completely agree though, spring and summer look so similar and having cherry blossoms to differentiate the seasons would be really welcome. Plus I desperately need more time to find the cherry blossom DIYs! Last year I had slightly better luck but this year the only cherry blossom DIY I found on my own was a wallpaper. I ended up buying the cherry blossom branches and bonsai from a user on here because I was tired of waiting and I still don't have every single DIY. The little bonsai is probably the worst one to be missing because for whatever reason it's needed build the bonsai shelf

I know a couple who do that. They’ll TT out for holidays and then back to Cherry Blossom season. In my opinion it looks better with a little bit more color especially when the grass starts getting so green.

I can't express the frustration I feel when I catch all of Wisp's spirits and he offers me a wall or floor. The only reason I go through all that is because my store has never had some things in stock and it's a desperate attempt to get something new after months! But NO, give me an ugly flooring which is only "new" because I never wanted to buy it. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[oohandyyy]

i only ever get pears on my island (to be fair, this has been a curse that has followed me since my gamecube days) and pears are the worst fruit

It makes me so sad how areas of my island get super laggy whenever it rains or is super windy. This is AFTER I went around picking up all my items, all my flowers, and building my island back up with a more minimalist approach. The frame rate still drops in high wind/rain. It really affects my gameplay experience and it's getting to the point where there's not many more things I can take away from my island to stop it happening.

13 days and counting since my last campsite visitor.

I wish Isabelle didn't have an announcement every day without actual news.

this, definitely. it would also make all of us like isabelle more because we'd be actually excited when we booted up the game and saw her about to announce something.

I just finished setting up my island via terraforming and it is almost perfectly symmetrical...minus my house but oh well. Now the spot I have set up for the Cafe, whenever it is released better be enough space or my OCD will cry.

It took too long to get it perfect...I don't want something like that to mess it up.

I really wish they did more with this game. I know it's technically unfinished but there are so many things they could have added earlier on to make it charming and fun to come back to again and again. It's not fun coming back every few weeks to my villagers saying the same exact things. It's not fun to sit through Isabelle's pointless morning announcements. It's not fun seeing nothing new or interesting in Nooks Cranny and not having any new tasks to do. It's not fun seeing an NPC for the millionth time that I've already collected everything from. It definitely wasn't fun actually spending money on the sanrio cards and having to time travel for hours just to get everything I wanted that I bought with my money because of the 5 items per day rule. And last, it's not fun seeing Pocket Camp get special treatment with tons of different new tasks and things to do weekly while New Horizons is lucky if it gets one new event that lasts an hour a month.

To me, this game just isn't fun or exciting anymore and I get that I'm probably burned out from playing a lot last year but it's a bit frustrating to me that they could have tweaked just a few things to make this game last longer. I really, really miss having fun with this game.
