Besides Chrissy and Francine, Im really having a hard time picking roommates. I know everyone will have different reasons to pair villagers, but I would love to know which pairings you think will go well together, it can be because of the species, themes, or whatever.
Peanut and Mint mainly bc my headcanon is they are sisters bc for some reason in new leaf they were super close when I had them together!
Another Squirrel pair is Poppy and Pecan cause some see it like Poppy is the innocent friend and Pecan is the bad influence XD
chevre and nan because they're a reference to a japanese children's song called 'goat mail', which stars a black goat and a white goat. their houses are inverted versions of each other, and they have each other's pictures on their walls.
i also personally think daisy and goldie could be cute -- both normal dogs. lucky and biskit -- both lazy dogs. i'm personally going to use punchy and kid cat, since i lowkey ship them in my town. vivian and whitney -- both snooty wolves -- is another one i'm going to do.
I've been too focused on giving each villager their own home to pick any roommates, but I think these would go good together.
Butch and Goldie
Teddy and Maple
Marina and Zucker
Muffy and Agnes
Ribbot and Cephalobot (or Sprocket)
Blanche and Gladys (or Cranston)
Lucy and Gala
Roald and Aurora
Unlikely roommates like a deer with a wolf or a mouse with an elephant could be fun, too. You could also think of what kind of house you want to make and find two that match the theme.
There is the obvious Ankha and Lucky pair, as well as the sisters Francine and Chrissy.
Any combination of Kid Kat, Agent S, Big Top, and Rocket can also make a good team.
I would also like to pair up Raymond and Marshal, and have them open a maid café together. No luck finding Raymond, though, so that will have to wait...
I’m doing Gladys and Cranston for sure, I have a head canon that they are dating, sorta platonically if that makes sense. I think it will be perfect, especially since they both have Asian themed interiors.
I've only done one roommate house so far - the first one you're prompted to do. Stu came in looking for a roommate and I ended up pairing him with Boots. I wasn't sure it would totally work, but they were very happy with the result (named the theme 'Rural and Rustic').
My first roommate pairing was Petri, who I ended up putting with Claudia (Teatime Terrace theme + Jazz Cafe, both snooty villagers.) That one worked pretty well for me. I’ve generally paired villagers whose requests are fairly similar, though I haven’t done too many yet - Ellie wants a room full of sweets and Merengue wants a dessert test kitchen, and I had them at the same time, so I ended up pairing them, for instance. (First floor the test kitchen, second floor a living area more based off what I did for Ellie’s home full of desserts.) And I’ve got plans to pair Vivian (gym with emphasis on music) with Audie (who has the fitness hobby and whose house request is a DJ dance party), though I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
