Why does orignal villagers matter to anyone?

I mean...there's really no reason for "tier 1" villagers or whatever to even sell at such high prices. The inflation on villagers is insane.

I agree completely ;;. There's no controlling though the demand and seller's personal price though ^^;
 
Bear with me, because I've only been playing ACNL for a couple months...I have noticed a lot of people wanting all original villagers lately. Personally, I don't care. I just want the villager. Their house isn't a big deal to me.

What I would like to know is this: Is there anywhere that shows pictures or a list of what furniture items each villager starts out with?? I found one that shows their shirt and catch phrase, but nothing about their homes. I'd like to be able to know for sure when I give/trade/sell a villager. I'd hate to tell someone the villager is original & then get negative feedback because their house has different furniture.
 
i personally don't mind it if a villager isnt original. But i really hate it when i get a villager and their house has a fossil in it, LOL. like, WHY.

could have some missing, but just search the villager's name to see

generally they'll have a picture of the original house with a possible text description as well

Thanks...that's where I look for their pic/shirt/catch phrase, but I've only found a couple that included info on their houses. Maybe I'm just blind. lol

Yeah, blind is right! I had so many tabs open that I looked at the wrong one when I said I didn't see house info. The link you posted is brilliant and you're my new hero for the day. :)

Best thing for "Animal Crossing" is to have the next version give villagers two-story homes. The second floor would be the villagers' customizations. The first floor would be the retaining of original items. A villager who invites a human to his/her house would be shown the entire house and can buy items from the second floor.
 
I guess it's just human nature to prefer the original. Like, original villagers are have a more 'brand new' feel while villagers without their original catchphrase and shirt are more 'second hand'.

I personally don't really care, I think it gives them more of a personality but whatever.
 
It's so hard to keep a villager original, even when you're ignoring them they change things about themselves anyway (like adopting catchphrases from other villagers or changing into another shirt that another villager gave to them). Why would you want an original character if you talk to them every day and do things for them just to mess them up anyway? =| they're not going to stay original forever no matter what you do.
 
I was going to post something about why I prefer original houses to messed up ones full of crap but the name of this thread is too distracting :/ Do instead of does, do instead of does!

But honestly I want my villagers to wear nice clothes and have nice homes. Is that a problem? Does it really matter to you?

I agree. This would be really cool. I'd like it even better if the villagers could remodel their houses randomly and of their own free will. That way we'd just wake up one morning and see a villager standing outside their house with a construction tent over it. Then they'd say, "Hey, what's up, Mayor? I was starting to feel a bit claustrophobic in there, so I decided it was time for an upgrade." Because I seriously feel really bad that we mayors can upgrade our houses all we want and the villagers are stuck in those tiny little huts. It makes me sad.
 
I really only care about the villager's shirt and catchphrase, as those are what I see the most. I just like how it adds to their character. Houses aren't that big of a deal to me.
 
Sometimes people are getting villagers, not just because of their looks but also their houses. There are some villagers like Marshal, about which the reasons listed by people who like them include the interior of their houses. Some people don't care, especially if the village is hard to find anyway and the house can be fixed, others do.

I don't care about original villagers, personally, but I probably would if I liked their houses a lot. I try to keep the houses of villagers I'll let go of eventually as original as possible so that whoever gets them next won't have their houses totally trashed but it depends.

idk. you can just talk to isabelle and she can reset there shirt and saying to the original so idk man

maybe cuz of the house


You can't reset their houses in this way, though. You can reset stuff like catchphrases, greetings, and mail and I think also clothes, but not their houses.
 
I understand wanting rare items from certain villagers, but that wouldn't make or break a villager trade for me. I have a couple villagers from other towns, and one happened to be original, but after about a week of asking me for furniture and sending gifts through the post it didn't matter
 
It doesn't really matter to me, unless it's Ankha, because of the throne she has in her home. But even if she wasn't original, I'd still take her. Also, it has to do with custom patterns. Some villagers look better with their original shirt, and they don't want them getting replaced with custom patterns from another town.
 
Because for one, I like villagers to have their original shirt because, once I got a villager from reddit with a penis shirt so like, no.
