Wishful ideas for Animal Crossing NH Thread

[Poppies_92]

Thought I would make a fun forum topic for things you would like/wish to see added into ACNH and for the community to have discussions on.

I figure I would start with the idea of having a personal digital photo album within the game. I enjoy taking photos a lot when I have free time and it seems strange are only options are social media and the switch photo app lol. Figure we could collect stamps and such and it adds a little something extra into the game lol

a photo album along with collecting stamps would be super cute, honestly!

there’s a few features that i’d love to see at some point but the one thing that i’m dying for is the ability to hug my villagers. it could be a reaction or as an option when talking to a villager, one that wouldn’t show up until your friendship level is at a certain point (similar to how the option to give gifts to your villagers isn’t available until a few days after they’ve moved in). this probably won’t ever come to fruition but i really hope that it does.

My very wishful idea is to have a vacation island/resort that has:

• Shops of other NPCs (Re-Tail, HHA, Shampoodle, GracieGrace, Post Office, Police Station, Club LOL, Katrina)
• Mini hotel where special NPCs (like Rover, Katie, or Tortimer) and other villagers go (so you have several options and pick who you want to invite to live on your island)
• Villa (which you can buy so you can have a house there)
• Island Tours (for Kapp'n)

Or just give me a Happy Home Designer for the Switch.

On this, I'd love it if they added a new HHD game as DLC for New Horizons, maybe with more in-game features, like decorating your villagers' homes.

Other than that, I was thinking the other day it would be nice if they added a "Terraforming+" app, since so many people want to be able to landscape similarly to how we can decorate indoors. Maybe it could be unlocked once you reach five stars.

One can only dream...

Game mechanic wise;
- Send items to storage from outside the house
- Retrieve materials from storage when crafting
- Being able to open inventory when sitting down
- Being able to open/close gates via nook phone
- See other players on (mini)map

And even though these are probably on its way already, I've been looking forward to Brewster & an upgrade for the Nooklings!

 

[JellyBeans]

the photo album idea is adorable! I also would *love* Kapp'n to return and be able to take us to another island that has NL/CF main street vibes - this would obv also involve the return of Brewster, Katrina etc which I would also love. and then I'd just love some QoL updates like being able to bulk craft, and go straight from one NM island to another without having to return to your own island in the middle

Being able to still see villagers on mystery islands and invite them even when you have a full roster and being able to choose who they can kick out when you invite them.

I would love smaller events to be recognized it does not even have to be big or an all day thing, but it would be fun if they mentioned smaller holidays instead of skipping them all together.

I wished they added the main area (outside nooks homes) from HHD, obviously we wouldn’t need a hospital and stuff so why don’t they replace those buildings with other NPC shops

 

[MikkiC306]

Let me put rugs on the ground outside. Simple enough. Oh and store trees and flowers I've dug up in my storage or at least place them without having to plant. Maybe in a pot or something. Separate clothing storage from main storage. And let me hang art and wall accessories on the sides of the cliffs like a wall.

 

[Wickel]

I'd love to be able to hang garlands in between two trees. So you can walk underneath them and make like a light-up or decorated pathway.

 

[JKDOS]

As a few others have said, I'd like a HHD mechanic. My twist on this is where we could self-volunteer to redecorate a villager's home using furniture from our own pockets. The same as we did in New Leaf with the Museum Giftshop exhibits, and not like Harv's Island or the HHD game where we have free unlimited furniture.

However, seeing the datamining data on the villagers' homes and how their houses are designed with place markers for their furniture, I feel like this mechanic would be incompatible. So this will probably never be a thing.

 

[Diegoboy]

I'd like to have the ability to decline a DIY from a villager that I already know/don't want.

Release sea creatures while swimming, without full pockets.

Have models made of the sea creatures.

Being able to pull resources from pocket and storage when crafting. When you're outside it won't obviously work.
Having manilla clams stack
Being able to bulk craft if you have enough materials to do so (this would come in handy for things like fishbait)
Being able to craft and customize from the same screen
Being able to mass buy in Nooklings and Able's dressing room (also changing it so you don't have to wear what you bought or send it home)
Less dialogue form Orville and fix up the entire set up for going online. (Seems there's a lot of unnecessary steps. I don't recall NL being as time consuming)

These really don't seem like hard fixes and something they could easily do with what they already have. What I would really like, but there's no way to know if they have any plans to implement them are;

Something akin to Club Tortimer
Cyrus and Reese (or someone who can customize all the non-craftable items)

For isabel to say which one of the regulars (redd, celeste etc) are visiting that day in her daily waffle... Sorry, opening!
Targeting for the tools so you can see where on the floor you are aiming at,
Love the idea of hugging residents!
Daily checklist possibly, for the things you should do once a day, (as I forget stuff to quickly!)
Multi crafting!
Multi printing from the nook mile terminal
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head!
Have fun

Have you considered just, y'know, talking to your villagers? They do tell you about this.

with that in mind I would like Isabelle's morning dialog to have more stuff, because it's nice character stuff for her despite the fact it repeats way too often? It's better for her than just her telling you who's here today, because that oversimplifies the game and just reduces her to basically being a talking menu.

also replace the "what should I do?" option with Nook after you've paid off all your house, so that you can just have Nook talk about himself?

 

[tajikey]

Some really great ideas listed. I'll add that for the times I knock on the door of a villager who isn't home, the message gives me a general idea as to where they went. For example, "I'm sorry I'm not home right now, but you might find me at Molly's/the Museum/Nook's/Abel's/fishing/catching bugs/smelling flowers/etc." This would be a great way to cut down on time when trying to find a certain someone.

Also, I'd like the option to turn off the daily phone call from Nook's telling me how much money was deposited into my Savings.

They do?? I have not heard this to be honest! I'll keep talking to them as see, thanks for letting me know

tis true. Villagers will tell me things like "Somebody has washed up on shore". I know then Gulliver is in town. I also recall them saying something along the lines of "I saw Flick wondering around. That guy sure loves his bugs". I'm not sure what the priority is though for these dialogues.

 

[absol]

i want more accessories, earrings and wings in particular!
they're in pocket camp so it's not that farfetched but I'm still kinda doubtful
