Oh crud! He's talking about stupid DLC's! No. Wait no DLCs aren't always bad, sometimes they're done wrong, I'll admit, but a really good DLC will vastly improve the game rather than just adding random crap.
Yes they might not make a pay for DLC, but they might make a free update or something and even then there's a chance for them to go back on it or put it in the future game. this thread is still about what could be changed.
Perhaps something everyone actually wants in the game or something missing from previous titles, maybe fixing soem big issue with the game currently.
Compiling a list, I'm sure there's enough things like this. This is just the kind of things I'd like to see in a DLC or even just an update if generous enough. That'd be nice. Being 2nd on the UK charts, though, they'd probably make it pay for DLC instead.
Rock removal
I'm pretty sure everyone wants this more than anything. Nothing is more annoying than those damn rocks upsetting a clear path or in the new case, making them worse, stopping you from building things where you like. Just being able to remove the little nuisancess would vastly improve the game in customisability, and frankly, I have no freaking clue why this isn't included right now.
It's not even a big issue if no rocks are left, the money rock is only really useful in the begnning so just one or no rocks is hardly a game changer!
And for those of you who don't like this idea, just don't use it. This let's people who DO want it use it.
Moving current buildings
Not gonna lie this has, pretty much a similar idea to it as rock removable. This would include all of your prublic works, so you don't have to annoyingly spend two days removing and re-adding something in a new position. Plus it can alleviate the annoyance some people might have with projects that can't be removed anyway.
This would also inclue animal houses. But obviously they're not just gonna LET you move them, maybe. Having a strong friendship and maybe bribing them should allow them to be okay with moving their house, however, the camping site will be required for their hosue to move. You can also move your own house. Why not, right? I mean it's not like you might regret where you put your house or anything sicne it's your first time, right? /sarcasm
Also, since you might not want your villager to move out, this can also be an alternetive especially since you'd already be friendly with them. Let's call it an improvement of the making-them-move-out-formula.
Bring back constellations
Straight from wild world, though probably not in the same way for a basic reason. The sky doesn't seem to "work" or "look" the same way, so I'd suggest just being able to form faint drawing in the night sky instead. You can connect to dots, or do a drawing kind of constellation.
One other idea I've had though is to also allow you to draw on the moon itself! Not sure how it'd be accomplished but it'd bring some crazy and fun ideas like a Majora's Mask moon or even just a plain ol' smiley face.
Lawn mower / grass seeds
This is probably a personal preference more than anything but I think artificial sign paths to be kinda ugly, so I prefer to just create more natural paths. However it's hard to use the natural grass, wearing down, thing, and some patches of dirt always remain AS dirt. A mower (be it a portable "pole" type one, or a car type one you push around, whatever) would eliminate grass easier but slowly if you want a a wasteland or natural paths. Additionally though, kinda hurting for a better way to make grass appear, and some spaces are always dirt, which sucks and is REALLY unecessary. Something like grass seeds would be great for making this less of an issue, especially if they're allowed to grow on "always dirt" patches. Just let us be able to do more with our grass, please!
Relive the past from within the game and rewrite history
To explain further, some people didn't know to press L and R to take screenshots, and they'll never get a chance to screenshot the time they became mayor or when they were in the train. So maybe some sort of Katrina special to remember previous events would help some people out.
Additionally, reliving the past of being in the train would allow you to rename yourself and the town, but the town layout will not be affected at all. In the most extreme case though, you might even be able to redo your face (though I'm sure most people are okay with their face) Of course, you could also just do renaming from within the mayors office.
Moving to another town (really just generating a new one with less bad stuff happening)
In New Leaf there are more reasons you might want to consider remaking your town, perhaps even with the new DLC things I listed. And though that does a pretty good job you want a fresh new town, a new layout but let's face it. Redoing everything si really really REALLY bad. So much progress lost! So just "moving" into another town, and keeping everything in your locker could alleviate some of the loss.
Additionally, you could maybe "save" your previous town onto the SD card, or another SD card, so you can always go back. Another feature might be to get nook to build you a house imemdiately, but only upgraded to a certain point (perhaps halfway).
The only problem with this is continuity because it'll have the same NPCs (except villagers)... Which is, probably broken by everyone having the same assitant, Nook, etc.. It shouldn't really make you less imemrsed though. Being able to move for a continuity error is my kind of trade off.
Yeah since there'd be a continuity error with you being MAYOR, it'd probably be best for it to be a soft town reset.
Furniture sets of different rooms
This is something that kind of irks me. Almost all the sets are more or less for living rooms. I'd really like to see semi-seperate sets for say, "Blue" to "Blue Kitchen" or "Green Kitchen", perhaps only some sets get a specific new room though, I figure Green doesn't go well for bathrooms. If HRA is an issue, why not specific set furniture not clashing with a kitchen set version? So for example, tables and chairs, but you need a specific "Blue Tile" for the kitchen instead of "Blue Carpet". Stuff like that.
Of course, I'm not saying, uh, only Blue and Green. Most sets could probably work like this. I can even see Golden being well and able getting Golden bathrooms pieces. I wanna sit on a gold toilet, darnit! (Hehe and maybe the Mario Set could have a smaller toilet pipe to sit on)
More Public Works of a specific look
I feel that the amount of "Fairy Tail" or "Modern" publock work designs is slightly lacking. Why not a Fiayr Tale fountain or well, for example? That could work! Additionally there aren't really many styles to begin with, though it could be difficult implementing new styles. One simple way to alleviate this could simply by starting with paint styles for your benches, train stration, etc though those might only work on the basic (not fairy tale, modern, etc) styles. Well, I figure it might work a bit on Japanese styled things.
Perhaps a few styles I could think of are Cowboy/western, Kiddie (toy world, woo), futuristic. The list could go on.
Anyway I'm out of ideas, so feel free to post any you might have.

My new town's layout is perfect, except for the rocks.
