It's just once per day. I kind of miss not being able to write letters to villager/islanders. Hopefully there's an update that brings back Pelly/Phyllis that gives us mail twice a day, we can send letters to the animals, and store the letters into a larger storage.

Hold on... I miss the 9 am & 5 pm mail delivery too, but I have to ask, have you checked the postcard stand in the airport? You can still send letters to your villagers, your future self, and other residents on the island (like secondary players) just like past games! I think there'd be a lot more complaining here if they took that out lol but I don't blame you for not noticing, unless I'm misunderstanding? They even improved on it, as you can now send letters to anyone on your best friends list too and it's so fun sending all my friends presents with silly letters!

But yes, I agree, bring Pelly, Phyllis, and Pete back so they can help the dodos with the mail by delivering twice a day and also letting us order 10 items a day! My gf suggested they decreased it to 5 so you wouldn't get the nook shopping app in just 10 days, but like, if that's why then they can just increase the number of orders it takes to get it. Only being able to order 5 things a day when it was 10 before it so annoying.

Walk more than 2 feet away from a music player outside and you can no longer hear it, the game's background music is too obnoxiously loud. The radius needs to be increased by 3x

Wish we could terraform and decorate deserted islands! would love to try some ideas I can't really fit on my main island rn or I don't want to clean up after


I'm also really not a fan of the whole "villagers get sick of you the more you talk to them" system which wasn't here in the last games, so why now?

I'm really happy that Nintendo made flowers more durable and harder to steal but moving flowers is now the absolute bane of my existence. I've gone through so many shovels now and it just takes SO much longer.

Another opinion that’s not about the game buuuut:

- I’m starting to actually hate going on r/AnimalCrossing because of how hypocritical people can be on there, and tbh some of the users on there are straight up... *****y, like *seriously*. Let people play AC the way they want. If someone wants to have all the popular villagers, cool, let them. If someone wants a Japanese-themed town, cool, let them. But my god, stop putting down people for doing those things. I saw people actually attack someone for wanting Raymond, Marina and Sherb and comments going “everytime I see those villagers I roll my eyes because wow ppl are willing to use their NMT for that thing”. Well guess what? Nobody asked, because that’s their game and they can do that if they want. Also the amount of comments that are extremely snarky or condescending comments I see on there everytime someone posts a picture of a Japanese-themed village makes me sigh. This subreddit’s fake and shallow forced positivity is really *irritating*

- Alof of the ACNH youtubers are kinda annoying and it really bothers me how so many of them are willing to spread misinformation like how “certain villagers can be found at certain times of the day” or “clapping for Orville increases your chances of getting a rare island” (I clap for Orville because he’s a good boi, not for rare islands). Not to mention some youtubers are actually promoting buying bells and NMTs for irl money

I'm annoyed at the fact that Nook's cranny, EVEN THE UPGRADE has like no items. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COMPLETE MY BATHROOM?!!?!?

 

[starlightsong]

my villagers keep implying (or in punchy's case, directly stating) that having a fountain outside is weird and i am begging them to stop. it's a fountain, where else do you expect it to be?? idk if maybe animal crossing is some kind of wacky alternate universe where you usually find a fountain inside the town hall or the general store, but in my world we put them outside!!

update: i'm either losing my mind or all of the villagers on this island are playing a weird prank on me where they pretend that fountains don't usually go outside.

I currently travel back in time to cycle my double personality villagers out, and the Able Sisters suddenly has so much better clothing to offer??? I'm only at the 27th, but like I have 5 rows of hats for example. And a bunch of new pretty tops. You know, it seems like the game is rewarding you for traveling back, so many things resetted.

 

[BeezyBee]

I cannot stand how you can't buy clothes from the Able Sisters whilst in the fitting room and have them placed into your pockets, I hate having to go back to my house just to check out different combinations of the same outfit.

I have the same complaints about dialogue, although I'm kinda of surprised to hear that people had the same qualms about New Leaf, I never had a problem with NL dialogue, but maybe that's because I was too young to notice it haha. City Folk dialogue remains my favorite though.

I recommend having a wardrobe placed outside of the store, since it's linked to your storage.

on that note, let's get some storage crates or something that just lets you access your storage from afar.

Getting annoyed with the repeated DIY Recipes I'm getting. I know for a fact I'm missing a ton of DIY recipes, including the fancier outdoor benches, but I keep on getting repeats. I have like 28 repeats on my island right now. =/

Yeah tbh we need storage crates so we dont have to keep going back inside just to grab that extra tool u just broke

I'd prefer this rather than changing clothes with my cooler or fridge

 

[meggiewes]

I don't understand why people get so annoyed with other people going through or picking their flowers. They grow back. I could see being very annoyed if they were able to shovel them up and take them, but running through them doesn't damage them permanently. Does that mean that you dislike yourself when you have to pick your own flowers for a recipe you want? Anyone care to enlighten me? I'm willing to learn!

 

[Romaki]

Can flower crowns look like... flower crowns please?

I've got five of my villager pictures so far, but the other five that I don't have refuse to give them to me, even after I shower them daily with nice gifts.

What has your strategy been for getting pictures? I want all of mine!

 

[skogkyst]

I give them wrapped gifts everyday and I talk to them and try to get requests. I've even sent them letters with presents, though not that often. It took me about a month since I started the game to get any, so I don't know if my methods are the most efficient lol.

My upgraded Nook's has sold 2 different tubs and a shower so far. I have a ton of random bathroom items but I'm not planning on having one in my house. PM me if you want any bathroom furniture (shower, tubs, sink, towels, etc.) I'll give you some for free if you want

My biggest gripe with this game is how it basically turned itself into a building sim instead of having the main focus on communicating with your villagers. The customization is nice, but I weirdly prefer when there was less freedom and it wasn't as overwhelming? New Leaf had the best balance of this imo and if it contained the dialogue of GC/WW it would easily be the best title in the series. Not saying they need to bully the player per say, but a little attitude would definitely be appreciated
