What features do you guys want most in the next installment?

[Jake]

I just want to be able to have a beach house, rotate PWPs, more trees especially willows, and better character customization. Other than that I like the randomness of AC, I think that's what gives it it's special charm. I don't want total control over everything that happens.

wow, something so basic, but ive never seen it suggested before LOL. I'd actually love for a new tree species, that isn't a fruit one. I think willows would be perfect.

Better hair, better clothes, control over where your villagers houses will be, THE FREEDOM TO PLANT CEDAR TREES WHEREVER THE HECK YOU WANT, time travelling with NO change to your town, uhhmm and maybe like a picture option where you can get in a photobooth with a villager and take cute pics

not going to happen. it's been a basic foundation that they only grow in the northern parts of town, they're not going to change this perk in a new game.

 

[Hulaette]

I think it would be adorable to see different colored noses, be able to have a lot more choices of different eye shapes, more hairstyles and colors, your character showing emotions based on what happens around you. Not like the Sims, No way. But keeping true to the animal crossing style. Your character has a sad face if gets stung by bees, scared expression if gets chased by tarantulas or scorpions, Or maybe even get to choose what your default natural face looks like. Angry, sad, pouty, happy, or neutral face. Again, I don't want this game to be steered into a Sims styled game, Just keep the traditional Animal Crossing styles in the game.

 

[Cyrene]

I have more ideas! If mayor as a job returns, I'd like the ability to preset house plots in your town. So when villagers move in, they can only move in these certain spots that you have already chosen. I'd also like to see more jobs, maybe brewster allows you to take over the cafe, that'd be pretty neat. Some form of transportation, like a horse or something. Just because.

Oh, I'd like to see the able sister clothes creator expanded upon. The ability to make pants and different styled caps would be swizzle.

 

[erikaeliseh]

I agree with all of these! willow trees would be amazing omg, even another flower species, something hard to get like jacobs ladders or carnations would be awesome. preset house plots would make it so much less stressful when getting new villagers! i also think more events would be cool, the japanese version has way more festivals and events than the american copy, for example the ban throwing festival.

 

[TheFlyingSeal]

I would like a feature where your can move the camera around like you were in your house so you can see the town in a different view! That way it would be more like a town and you can make straight forward paths into shops. You can place projects facing the plaza, and have a more emmersed 3D world!

 

[creamyy]

An online trading shop sounds like a really good idea. I would also like different camera options so like you could play in the eyes of the character rather than playing god but then be able to switch camera modes since people like to play differently.

BIGGER POCKETS. Either that or a tool pocket space so you can carry a lot of things and carry tools as well. Tools take up quite a bit of space and I'm always running out of space for other things.

 

[Lmaze]

I just hope the new one has an easier way to communicate with each other. Like someone had said on here about trading! it would also be really nice to be able to just send it each other letter and/or gifts in the mail to one another. Trading would be a lot easier if we could send bells and then get the purchased items in the mail instead of having to go to each others towns!

I also would love an easier way to plot my villagers instead of having to start a new file every time! Being able to change eye color and skin color would be awesome too from the beginning.

 

[Trio4meo]

It would be amazing if they had more food items, or like a shop that sells food, during new years they should give us scones and tea or something idk something other than a tweeter (this is for the UK) and I would like a variety of hair options and new clothing , more hand held items, a bigger town and more places to go to. Oooooo it would be amazing if we could create our own events in the town as well as having the ones we already have. It'd be nice if we could have other regional events and gifts ∩__∩ and obv like wut others hav3 said of being able to control/place where your villagers houses will be placed.

That's all I can think of for now ('・ω・')

 

[00ToxicLove00]

I want it to let us place villager houses where we want. It'd make life so much easier

 

[failedexperiment]

more pocket space and more power over where someone places their damn house

 

[Lightmare]

i think being able to place villager's houses wherever would be quite convenient

 

[kkisland]

I think it'd be really cool to do more things in the games for npcs! Like you could work at Nooks store again or help Sable make clothes or even play a dancing game with your villagers! I think minigames are really fun and I don't know I think it'd be really cool for them to add more features like this

 

[Dasbreenee]

There are so many things that I would love to see.
First of all, I would love more pocket space. Haha. It would make everything a lot easier. I would also love to see maybe a customization of your house layout. Picking where the rooms go. I know you can do this in a sense, but you if you want all the rooms, they all go in a certain place. I would love more character customization. I'm sure they do the questions to make it a little more fun and random, but I would like to pick out my eyes and such.
I've also heard people talking about more things like the cafe. Such as a bakery. I would love that so much! A mini game making cupcakes or something!

And finally, what most people want, picking where the houses go. It's such a pain, especially for people like me who want them evenly spread.

 

[Hulaette]

I think Brewster's cafe needs to have coffee, tea, juice, water, milk, scones, cupcakes, muffins, buns. Interectave options with NPC's who are there at the time, part time job. And even build an expansion to the Cafe that you can manage.

 

[Astro Cake]

More personality types would be nice.

 

[Xochi]

Everyone in this thread is brilliant, and I love your ideas!

One thing I've been thinking about for a while, and I have no idea if it's a bad or good idea lol, because finishing your museum is already a huge enough pain. So in the Bug-Off you're rated by how big your bug is, how intensely it's colored, etc, and the Fishing Tourney rates you by fish size. I think it would be interesting if you could donate several specimens to your museum. Like, here you go Blathers, the most stunningly yellow yellow butterfly you've ever seen in your entire life, or the biggest sea bass in the ocean. Or conversely, the most dull or tiny thing ever. Or maybe you could still only have one specimen at a time, so you had to choose whether to make the most unexciting museum ever, or the museum of the most freakishly big fish the world has ever seen.

 

[BellGreen]

Personally I just want to see a bigger menu for Brewster's. It would be nice to have all types of food.

 

[Dasbreenee]

I also would like to see more options for buildings. Like the cafe and police station. So that maybe If people want them can make their town look more modern with extra buildings and such.

 

[WonderK]

I'd like a higher villager cap and a larger town.

 

[Hulaette]

It would be so awesome if you can get actual different styled towns (not ordinances) Mountain terrain, beach terrain, modern terrain, forest terrain, or a country terrain.

The Mountain town has steep cliffs on the edges of your entire town (instead of just those rock walls everywhere) more slopes, specific places where houses or building can go so it will make easier house plotting. Rocks will act as weeds, appearing here and there each day and you can break more than 1 rock reach day. You can do that to clear space for villiager houses and PWP's. you will have dirt everywhere instead of grass but you will have a few grass patches.

The beach town shells and tropical fruits are worth a lot more only in that town, a lot easier to catch fishes of anykind. You can even swim very very far and there is an island that you can swim to. Sometimes you may have a visiter on your island. Kapp'n, Pascal, Katie, or even a beautiful mermaid!! You will have only palm trees instead of saplings or pine trees. If you plant flowers the right way a hybrid will always grow the next day! When your grass wears out you will see sand patches instead of dirt.


The modern town has that plaza tiles on the ground instead of grass and dirt. You will barley get any weeds or flowers to grow. You gotta buy them from the store and plant them in a garden box. there are a few neatly organised grass areas that you can plant trees, flowers, put houses or PWP'S. You can put Buildings, houses, or PWP's anywhere on the plaza tiles. you can buy rusty tools, half wilted trees and flowers. You can buy parts to build a UFO, car, or a boat and actually use them!

Forest town is shrouded with pine trees, sapling trees, dead trees and bushes easier to catch bugs and they spawn everywhere! harder to cut down trees (10 swings with an axe) trees will grow bigger than they normally do. Perfect fruits grow a lot easier. There will be a tree that will grow over time. One day it will grow so big that you can go inside of the treehouse and put a few things in there. There will also be a big tree stump somewhere in your town, visiter's will be standing or sitting on it.

The country town will have grass and more dirt patches. More weeds will grow and flowers will be easier to grow. Wooden fences will be the boarders of each sides of your town instead of the rock walls. you can pick a big weed than put it in a pot and set it in your house. The sunsets will look very beautiful on the little hilltop.
