    Who were you talking about then? Who are these people that do the things you described, if not the people in the thread who stated they disliked it? Curious... do you have children? Children are very impressionable... all it takes is a statement like that... then the child wonders what it is...

    That reminded me... Isabelle mentions her horoscope in some of the daily announcements... all of it combined just turns me off the game. I avoid it as much as I can, but I don't see myself being a long-term player. I actually played AC City Folk and didn't like some of the content in that...

    That's how I've dealt with it because we already own the game. I explained that in life there are things out there that are against our religious beliefs and we have choices to make. I just didn't like that I had to start explaining what tarot cards and crystal balls are to our younger...

    I agree with that, but someone further upthread made statements saying those who did not like it were freaking out and teaching their children to be ashamed of the human body, etc... a strawman argument that's completely untrue and unnecessary. As far as the dialog, it just seems like the...

    Yes, the fortune telling set. It has a crystal ball, candles, and tarot cards if I'm remembering correctly. Yes, you can! In a nutshell, we aren't to have anything to do with fortune-telling, psychics, etc. But I can absolutely answer in more detail if you want to message me... I'm not sure...

    Hi, sure I can explain. Astrology/zodiac/fortune telling/tarot cards are all against our religious beliefs, so I don't like all that stuff in a children's game. The furniture you mentioned is Zodiac furniture. Since we already own the game, I told the kids to avoid this stuff. I won't buy...

    I don't understand why you are accusing me of such things. I haven't freaked out about it, given my children weird ideas, or taught them to be ashamed of the human body... I haven't even commented on the statue in my household. I just don't find it (along with the dialogue) appropriate. That...

    I have seen those towns on youtube, also! Definitely not something I want our kids to be exposed to. I think these are issues better left for parents to decide, so better to leave out of a children's game. I dislike having to explain to young children what tarot cards and astrology are and...

    Yes, I understand not all parents dislike the things I dislike. I just think it would make more business sense if the more controversial things were left out. I think anyone who is fine with those things would still buy the game (and other merchandise) if those things were left out, but someone...

    I'm glad this thread was created, as I've seen quite a few things that I don't think are appropriate for children in this game. As a mother of five, I'd say this is absolutely inappropriate, along with the tarot cards, astrology, etc. I don't understand how Resetti is considered not cool, but...

    Next Project on your Island?

    I'm making a park, moving a couple of villager houses, building inclines and bridges, moving flowers around, and doing a bit of terraforming. Lots of work!

    First snow fall

    Our first snowfall was yesterday... I was surprised!

    The Campsite could've been better

    I don't like the campsite for random villagers... the one time I tried to get the villager to move in, they picked one of my best villagers to move out. I told them no and tried, again, but they kept picking the same villager. I didn't know about resetting it to get them to pick a different...

    Island Entrance Struggles

    I think you have enough room to add cliffs, waterfalls, flowers, etc., if you move the two houses. Your town hall is in a good spot, IMO. Start terraforming and see what you come up with... you can always change it if you don't like it. I would put cliffs where the houses are with trees...

    My Honest Thoughts on the Turkey Day Event

    I feel like it takes too long to complete, especially for young kids. On a positive note, the items are really cute and I liked the set-up on the plaza... that was adorable.
