Integrate the full design features of HHD into ACNL (will never happen because then sales would drop on HHD probably - either that or merge the two together in a new game -
please don't I love acnl)
Some new way of laying paths, and the ability to put items on paths -especially the grid thing that Hayden explained
Ability to /mark\ specific areas for villager move ins - obviously the downside would be you have to mark 10 from the beginning and can't move them - or have to pay to move them (keeps it a challenge and not instant)
Added insects / fish / sea creatures ? To make fishing and bug catching fun and challenging again
New fruit trees?
Some sort of delivery bin at the museum that appears after maybe 10 separate donations that you can dump accepted new fossils / fish / insects and art into instead of having to do the whole blathers chitchat every time (waking him up bla-de-bla). You could have blathers give some dialogue about how he 'needs a break from time to time as he is getting older and has decided to implement a *new modern* feature that all the other towns have!' Give blathers a desk! and have him fall asleep reading a book or something!
STOP the villagers from stopping me leaving and opening /thesame\ dialogue every time I want to leave a shop. Just have them wave or something - or atleast mix up what they say a bit.
Ability to move rocks to specific/set different places by talking to Leif (still keeps in the challenge of having to build the town around them but makes it a little less frustrating if they are in really bad spots.
When chatting with Rover, rather than him show you 4(?) different maps - have something similar to when you are having your hair done at shampoodle. So based off your questions he offers you 4 certain map types.
For example
Is *town name* in the east or the west? This defines whether your sea is on the left or right.
Which way does the rive flow? Answers - left to right, left to bottom or right to left, right to bottom.
ETC.
Some sort of actual function for the rent-able museum rooms - not got any idea yet
There's probably more I could think of ha
