📋ACNH- Suggestion Box

[FireSpittinKitten]

Hey hey hey!

I made a thread like this on the acnl board a while back, and on the acnh board when it was still not even announced. What would you like to see in future updates? Since New Horizons will have A LOT of new content (judging by the most recent update), I thought it was the perfect time to revive the idea. Don't get me wrong, ACNH is the best game in the series, but a few new additions could really make it perfect!

For me personally, I would like Re-tail back. It was my favorite feature in New Leaf! Reese would buy/sell you DIY's, and Cyrus could customize furniture further. For example, maybe Cyrus could customize Nook Mile Rewards (since getting the variants are sooooo difficult). Other than that, Re-tail would stay the same. I'd also like some more new and returning villagers (kinda like how they did Filly and Holden in acnl).

The ability to rename the island would be amazing! It's always a slog to pick up a save file with a terrible name from 3 years ago. Maybe a change could only happen every 1 or 2 months, and require a 200,000 Bell fee. I find it especially weird you can't change your name, but you can change your gender on the fly. I was bummed when I named my island 'Sunburst Island', and later found out that they didn't refer to it as an island.

A few other features I'd like would be berry bushes, perfect fruit, deep sea diving, more fruits like bananas and avocados (yes, they do grow on trees. I Googled it!)

Anyways, what are some of your cool ideas? I'd like to find out what everyone's suggestions are. Have a great day!

•Being able to use a design and it not disappear when I delete it from my list If i want to use a design on ONE thing and delete it, it should stay put!
•Putting Rugs outside would make decorating our outdoor areas so much easier and less limiting.
•being able to at the very lease decorate the 3rd level cliff would be nice
•being able to hang stuff on a cliff side like lights and art would drastically change the game.
•A banking app so we can deposit/withdraw bells anywhere on home island
•mini games

I just want the food items back and I'm about 85% certain that we'll be getting them in a future update...I hope

 

[k e r f u f f l e]

My suggestions:

1. Brewster! A cute little coffee house would be nice.
2. Gyroids- except after you befriend Brewster, you can get gyroid DIYs.
3. Copper/Booker. What if they helped you find villagers when you need them?
4. Reese and Cyrus coming back as DIY peddlers. They have to travel in a pair, though. lol

the craft system needs a major freaking update. why in frik's name must i craft 1 item at a time and take a whole minute of inputs to do so.
also terraforming gives me anxiety because of how easily you can just ~ f l i c k ~ the joycons a lil bit and completely miss the target. if they had little target indicators my life would be so much better

New things to spend our nook miles on. Like more pattern space, furniture, New fencing and paths.

Bring back Kapp'n and island games.

Nooks store upgrade.

Upgrade those tiny side rooms.

More exterior options. I miss the cabin, and sweets.

 

[Jaco]

A Cafe, preferably as a separate building.
A sink for Nook Miles. Many people have 100k+ stored up with nothing to spend it on
More furniture of just about any kind. Unlocking the colors on Nook's Cranny would also help.
Higher rates of campsite visitors.

 

[tajikey]

When you knock on the door of a villager that isn't home, it tells you where they can be found (Resident Services, Nook's Cranny, museum, etc.).

 

[jessicat_197]

I would love to have more stuff we had in new leaf like the cafe and the police station. I would also like more furniture because honestly what we have is not enough, especially when looking at pocket camp and getting jelly

 

[psiJordan]

I don’t mean this literally, but something like a “don’t say this again” box for NPCs would be nice. Specifically like Orville, I know anyone can come with a Dodo code, that’s why I chose it, and I know Wisp has 5 pieces and I need a net. It’s all really unnecessary once you’ve done it tons of times

 

[heaven.]

There's sooooo many things that could be added. NPCs and/or their respective buildings - Reese/Cyrus, Brewster, Gracie, Katie, Booker/Copper, Kapp'n, etc. Old furniture sets (sweets, princess, astro, sloppy, etc) and more furnitures in general as well as new customizations. PwP from NL as placeable furniture; I really miss the different clocks, streetlamps, arches, signs, topiaries. QoL for crafting, counting materials in storage and allowing us to craft multiples of items at a time. Being able to customize the resident services & airport buildings (and more exterior customizations for our house). A way to call our neighbours with the NookPhone so it's easier to find them when they're at the museum, or being able to invite them over to your house/location. More things to spend NMT on. Perfect and tropical fruits returning, maybe even fruit bushes. Some variation of Tortimer Island, especially the mini games.

 

[ectofeature]

I'm desperate for sea creature models to be added! They're basically fish why can't chip make them into a model

 

[Aurita]

Everyone has already mentioned most of things I think need updating!

I just want to add:

• White fences!! You showed these in the trailers, Nintendo! Don’t tease us like this
• More fruits! Bring back bananas, lychees, mangos, durians, lemons, & persimmons
• Let us sit on the ground with the villagers ):
• Have Isabelle announce the daily visitor of the day
• Bring back some form of the megaphone
• Make Manila clams stackable

 

[Sefyre]

I would love to be able to change a villager's catchphrase without it spreading to everyone else.

I eventually ended up letting one of my villagers leave because of this exact issue.

I changed her catchphrase, it spread to other villagers, and since I didn't understand yet why it happened I changed everyone's catchphrases back...

And got myself a mixed up catchphrase disaster on my island.

Lucha saying precious or shortcake is funny. Rowan saying shortcake? Not so funny. Fuchsia saying mango is... Whatever, but her and Merengue saying ca-caw is just wrong.

Queenie, who's an ostrich, drove me nuts with her "chicken", but the result of me trying to change her catchphrase drove me so crazy that I let her move out.

 

[meggiewes]

I really want to add the HHA office into the game and have it so we can decorate villager houses. Even if it is just to put up wall items for them! Imagine how cute it would be to have villager posters hanging in villager houses!

 

[Masenkochick]

I'm hoping they allow villagers to come visit your house, Brewster's is put back in, and they add the mini games New Leaf used to have (Desert Island Escape and Puzzle League) to the Nintendo Switch item!

 

[Coolio15]

PLEASE add more new villager designs AND more life to the villagers already in the game.
I always enjoyed in NL when almost EVERY villager had a daily favor for me to do, and the mechanics of them coming over and visiting our houses was always a staple as well.

 

[Jbailey]

I think it would be cool if our residents all had their own phone numbers and if we get a high enough level of friendship with them, they'll give us their number. We already have the phone and it can make calls (since we get phone calls from Timmy and Tommy), so why not have it so when a resident leaves, if we have their number we can call them up and have a quick chat with them whenever we want? It would mean we can let our favourite residents leave and then still keep in touch, maybe allow us to call them up and ask if they want to move back in if they had max friendship/we have their photo when they left? would be an extra reason to get their photo, just in case they ever want to leave and we accidentally say yes

 

[Cherry Tree]

Like you I would love to change the name of my island.
Plus one idea I have wished for is to be able to swop villagers houses over instead of moving one to another location first. For example I have Fang as my current neighbour but I would love to be able to swop him over with Tex so you could pay 100000 maybe and in the morning they are in the new locations.

 

[Tutle]

I would love to see DJ kk come back but it's a long shot. Also, I would love if the cafe came back along with brewster.

 

[Licorice]

The main thing I want are the old furniture sets. I’m literally lost without them.
