It's probably because it wouldn't make sense. Like, putting an entire tree in storage. I mean it would be nice to do that in case you're redoing the island from scratch and need to get rid of trees, but idk at this point what Nintendo is doing. And no ones. No hate to Nintendo, but I wish they just released a big update like welcome amiibo did instead of doing small updates that just add events/adding some old furniture. Maybe they'll add it in, but maybe they won't because it doesn't make sense
Putting an entire tree in storage would be weird, but we can put sharks in storage which is even weirder! We can't even store flowers yet we can store potted plants which are basically flowers and trees but in a pot. And why can't we put DIYs in storage? It's so weird. It's just another example of the game logic being inconsistent like with the tools breaking. If they're going to put annoying things in the game at least make it make sense.
I only got six birthday cupcakes and I’m not sure who I should give them to 
it’s my own fault for not getting more but I’m still sad, lol. I was thinking of giving one to every villager type but I have 7 different personalities on my island so I’m still short. And I just feel kind of mean only giving 6 villagers birthday cupcakes

This has to be the most wholesome rant in the entire thread… Lumi, you melt my heartI only got six birthday cupcakes and I’m not sure who I should give them to

This happened to me as well, I didn't even know it was possible to get more. I gave them to the villagers that weren't at the party, so that meant I had 1 villager that didn't get a cupcake or come to the party.
That villager was Punchy, who I only left out by default because he was my most recent move-in. When I talked to him he had some dialogue about being hungry or wanting a cupcake or something, even though the game knew I was out of cupcakes at that point. I was like "aw man."
It would be so easy to just give us 10 cupcakes!

My rants are never really rants, but I would like in the Custom Designs app if you could use one of the existing ACNH paths as a template for your designs.
I know some people have recreated those paths, and others have created new paths that you can get from the Custom Designs Portal, but I don't use other people's custom designs.
I like to have everything on my island completely my own, so I make all the custom designs I want to use myself. I find the paths quite hard to make, especially since I'd like to replicate the colours. It would be quite helpful to me if I could use the existing paths as a template. Less of a rant, more of a thought.

You wanna know something really dumb? When you visit someone else's island you are not allowed to customize your items when you use their workbench. I mean what?!

This is the first AC game where I've stopped playing for a long time after a year. Granted, this is good compared to other games, but compared to other ACs, this is disappointing. I wish they didn't try to stretch out the content of the game SO much such that we still don't have something like Brewster in over a year of the game's lifespan.
I played WW for longer before stopping lol. Even if WW is quite empty compared to latter games, its dialogue is to fantastic. NH's customisation can only get you so far because when now that I've finished my island, I don't have anything else to do.

@Feraligator I agree. There was a Youtube video one of my friends shared with me a few months ago that touches on this subject. Paraphrasing of course, but they mentioned this somewhere in their vid 'It's like the devs wanted to stretch out the life of the game, that they forgot to actually add enough base game to keep us interested long enough in the first place.'
I could be wrong, but I don't think you could put bugs and fish in your storage in NewLeaf. So it's kind of weird that they got rid of certain storage capabilities and added ones that didn't exist in the previous game. I would rather have had flower, bush, and other plant-related storage than the bugs/fish to be honest. It would make swapping out the bushes so much more manageable. And flower control to boot.
I'd agree if I didn't store my bugs and fish for when Flick and CJ visit haha. But I really wish we could store plants. I have more bushes scattered around than I really want because I don't want to sell them, because of how they're only available for a few months of the year. I regret planting some of them to begin with because you can actually store the sprouts. What the difference is between a sprout and a small bush when you can store the Statue of Liberty, I have no idea.

Yeah, and you could put turnips in your storage and flowers too! Why did they remove it? It was a nice way to keep turnips somewhere safe so when retail has a good price for them you could use them then. I can't tell you how much easier storing turnips im storage in nh would be. Let's hope it gets added back because that was a really good feature.
@Koopadude100 I never bought turnips much in any of the games so I didn't know that you could store them in NL or the earlier games. I mean, it makes sense considering most of the other stuff was able to be stored. I don't understand why they would take away QoLs like that and just not bother to implement another feature for them.
That's one of my issues with NH. It's one thing if the successor removes old content, but improves upon it and or adds newer features, but the thing is that NH just took away a lot of content and didn't replace it with anything. Like the snowboy...in NewLeaf you had an entire family with all unique furniture you could strive to gain. Or like the tropical fruit they ditched on a tropical themed island. Or perfect fruit. It's honestly disappointing. I always boot this game up and just force quit it within a 5 minute time frame. because there's nothing to do if you don't want to decorate every second of the game.
I also don't like that there isn't a progress/reward feature in the game. When the dream suite came back, everyone got it. It wasn't a progress achievement. So if you got the game on launch day or just happened to install the game the day that update dropped, everyone was given it. The first shop upgrade, Able's, and Blather's museum had progress to them. You had to work towards it. That's the kind of stuff I want to see. It has a nice feeling of accomplishment to it.

I mean, we can shove up to 39 full grown trees in our pockets in this game. Things obviously don't need to make sense so why not just let us store whatever?

Yeah, it's kinda sad what Nintendo did with the game. I also wish nh had multiple upgrades to the shops. New leaf had 5 upgrades to the nook's shop and that feeling when you finally finish the last upgrade just can't be beat. I was hoping new horizons would have 5 or more, but just 2 upgrades. It's kind of sad tbh. Plus kicks doesn't have a shop, nor does Leif. It would be nice to have a garden shop 24/7. Kick's purpose was kinda taken over by the able sisters because they sell shoes and socks now. Maybe they could bring back the shoe polishing mechanic from city folk so kicks doesn't turn into a useless npc.

Well the Wedding Season is coming soon and let me just say I am not even going to bother. I mean its just literally new seasonal items added and just new wedding clothes. Honestly they could've at least put more effort into the Wedding Season. One of the things that gets repetitive with the wedding season from what I remember playing it last year is that you constantly have to take pictures of the anniversary for Reese and Cyrus. I found out that you can just put a lot of items and they will not seem to care about how "Cluttered" it is. They will act all happy and you still get a lot of heart crystals.
This is the only time Harvs island is used for this certain event yet there hasn't been anymore uses for Harvs island besides that point. Honestly If you played this last year you would think that after all those photos you took you would get like special DIYS for at least trying your best for all your hard work. Also why can't some of the wedding items be crafted? For a game that focuses on crafting you expect to be DIYS for the wedding furniture but there isn't. I do see one for a "Wedding wand" (I mean really? -_-)
This game just seems to get added with nothing but seasonal items instead of trying to improve the game or at least try to give new features to existing events to make it better.
