Sick villagers?
- Thread starter Maomi
- Start date
This came up on gamefaqs, same query. No sick villagers & has it been taken out with the update?
I think I have had a sick villager since the update - but I can't remember for sure.
Its definitely gone down in occurrence, but whether Nintendo took it out - dunno know.
Seems an odd thing to do, unless it clashed with additions in the update.
Nintendo changed other things I thought didn't really need changing - eg villagers take 10 days to move rather than 5 - tho agreed that is a nice safety net to have.

I think sick villages have been removed. If the game "determined" a sick villager before the update then they still got sick after the update, or so I believe, but besides that no villagers can get sick. I really enjoyed that, and don't see why it had to be taken out of the game at all.
I didn't realized that sick villagers are removed after the update. But know if I think about it, I didn't had
one villager who was sick after the update came out at all. I don't understand why they removed it as I
never had a problem with it...

Such a tease!
Hmm, that's strange. I don't think I had a sick villager after the update, but I also haven't been playing much lately. That seems like a very random thing to remove from the game.

I'm actually really disappointed about it- they removed SO much unique dialogue from the game! 
Even though it is sad when your favorite gets sick, at least it made the game a little more interesting...

Wow, that's really sad. I realize the timing can sometimes be annoying, but it added realism to the game. I loved when the villagers would send me thank-you letters after I brought them medicine for a few days. Just one more way in which the game is being changed so that it's more convenient and less lifelike, I guess . . .
i never really cared for the feature, it was rare and can be annoying/an inconvenience so i understand they removed it if they did.
im a bit surprised they removed it so late but i guess later than never since they had the big RV update anyway

Way to make the medicine item completely useless (unless saving & quitting no longer fixes bee stings - unlikely).

Yeah, pretty sure they removed it because sick villagers used to be an almost weekly occurrence in my towns. The only reason I didn't like it was because it affected the villager moving out talks among my other villagers.
But they also upped the amount of time a villager takes to move out, so I'm kinda bummed they removed that feature.

saving and quitting still works, so the medicine is functionally useless :\
So did villagers used to get sick before WA? Or was that just a pre-ACNL thing? I've never heard of anyone getting a sick villager in NL.

I had sick villagers in NL before the update, but never after. I miss that feature, it was nice to help them out. The only reason I can think of for them removing it is if it caused a massive glitch or went wonky with the additional code for the update, and they couldn't find a solution.
Maybe the sick villagers somehow interfered with amiibo move-outs? Because sick villagers couldn't move? That's my guess. I don't think they'd remove a feature like that unless it broke the game.
