ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

Do the villagers no longer clap when you play instruments? I just visited Kiki and Diana was there as well. I was playing around with the piano and when I stopped nobody clapped, lol. It’s such a small thing but I always liked when they clapped after I played instruments in New Leaf

Also, I really wish laying down paths didn’t muffle sounds. I love having this multicoloured flower path border the brick pathway but it bums me out that i lose the little click clack sound by doing that.

Late reply , but yeah they don't clap anymore. Sad, because they did in New leaf, so I wonder why they took it out and replaced it with the villagers ignoring you and walking away.

I’m so over villagers just sitting down anywhere I am working on. Like whyyyy so rude and then The whole “wow I guess anything goes on this island” not a fan

Thats why I always put fences around the area that I am working on so that way they don't come to the area.

I get tired of digging up fossils. It's a shame they can't be turned in to miniatures!

I just wish they added Gyroids right now. Fossils are just becoming more irrelevant. I have completed my Fossil museum on my main island since April 2020.

I wish we could customize the exterior of the museum. I mean, how is such a big fancy museum existing in my rural town.

I’m just waiting for more reactions... like come on I wanna do the naruto runs just like the rest of my villagers....

I miss gyroids so much. It’s crazy how much stuff I miss from even just new leaf

I don't know how they could do this one though since the emotions stop if you touch your controller. So the running would have to be uncontrolled. I really don't know how they'd work that one for the players.

I'm really loving the new, more varied dialogue, but I wish we could get an update to their crafting dialogue as well. Always with the 'cookie grease smeared on the middle part' or 'Maglev Mike took their relationship off the rails', without fail! I feel like each personality subtype could do with at least one or two variations!

Something else that I just noticed but remember way back in the beginning of the game you used to put down home plots for villagers to move in? Well guess what once you put down a plot there is no way to pick it back up. Its like there forever and you cannot remove it. So its like if you wanted to have only 8 villagers but you still have 10, there is no way to destroy a plot after a villager has moved out.

There is only 8 personalities at the moment and having 8 villagers is reasonable because at least you don't have to have same duplicate personality on your island but with 10 it makes it harder to balance it out. This was the harsh lesson I learned with my main island and now I will have to avoid that mistake on the 2nd island.

New Horizons is a game for people who like decorating, plain and simple. It abandons the older demographic of AC players to make a town building sim.

I never play video games to decorate. I can get sucked into New Leaf because you really don't have to decorate your town at all, I can just smack public works projects down and call it a day. With New Horizons it's the entire focus of the game- I think that's why I have so much trouble enjoying it.

Yeah, I feel like we're paying for the more in-depth decorating with missing features. I guess I was lucky since decorating was always my favourite part of AC, but eventually I'm going to stop playing once I finish making my homes and town because there's not much else to do. I feel bad for those who never were into the design aspect at all. I really hope in the coming years they bring back the things we could do in New Leaf at least.

You know its really annoying when Redd finally shows up on your island, but then when you go inside his boat you find out that he's selling all 4 fakes of Paintings and Statues. That is literally the worst type of RNG you can get when you've waited for so long and you get 4 fakes.

Is it just me who thinks the grass sounds a bit too crunchy? I didn't even notice until recently.

Where the HECK is the add to cart function?

Does anyone find it weird how when you first played this game that the very first special villager that showed up on your island was Mabel? It used to be where she would come on some days when you buy clothes from her and after enough shopping with her, she becomes interested in setting up a shop. When I first played this game I thought Kicks and Leif would get the same treatment. After over a year it doesn't seem like they got their own shops.

I mean I don't really care for Kicks because he sells only shoes, but with Leif I really had to wait a week or sometimes longer for him to show up whenever I want to buy bushes from him. After a year I just just wished Leif had his own shop by now.
