ACNL Things That Make You Cringe

[MorningStar]

It can be anything from a character mowing over your flowers, to an unlucky 10th villager sneaking in via WiFi void, to something you've seen a friend do.

I have two that come to mind immediately, both involving my mother.

First, she got my voided Lily as a 10th villager. Jambette's move-out date is set. Two days before Lady UglyFrog is due to leave, my mother gets Merengue in her campsite and can't invite her into town because Lily snuck into Slot 10.

My second also involves the campsite.

Mom's doing the "make new character and restart" trick to get someone nice in her campsite. She gets Genji, thinks he's ugly, and restarts.

Man, I wish you could get villagers from someone else's campsite...

The thing that bugs me the most that you can't send multiple letters to your future self. It like REALLY makes me sad. Everything else I could complain about ist just meh .__.

That one rock that is in the one spot where you wanted to build something. ;-;

That actually reminded me:

"It's so close to the train tracks..."

"It's so close to the lake..."

"It's so close to the river..."

Isabelle, shut the heck up.

the community. the tier system. the 'kawaii and pink' obsession.
It annoys me that I can't have a lot of designs in my pockets, now I have to make a second character to use the path I want and I hate useless characters. I also wish the pwp placement limitations were more flexible, but still reasonable of course. Also wish some processes didn't take so long, such as scanning a QR code or going online (either going to the island or visiting towns).

 

[MorningStar]

I swear every time you guys post I think of something new.

On the topic of lengthy processes, I wish there was a way to cancel the enactment of a new ordinance from the mayor's chair. For instance, I once paid to put the Night Owl ordinance into effect, then realized I should probably have waited until I got the gold watering can. But of course, talking to Isabelle just made her say she's working on the new ordinance and it should be up tomorrow. No "Never mind, don't change it!" or anything like that. That really irked me.

I hate how the placement of PWPs is so finicky... I wish you could just use your stylus to place it because walking around and moving slightly makes it so hard to get it precise enough!!!

Also hate limited patterns. I have had to make a second character just for holding patterns!

 

[Muzuiro-chan]

Mine would have to be the rocks theres 5 real rocks in my way its so anoying 2 of them and in the middle of my path so when your walking you crash on it wether you want too or not

The other one would be when your trying to go to the island online and you accidently press to go to your island instead and theres no way to cancell that option -.-

Paula... Paula makes me cringe... LOOK AT HER!

Spoiler: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

She looks like a rejected breakfast mascot, it's even worse in game..

My one acnl peeve has gotta be that you can't give people bugs and fish and stuff.

 

[etsusho]

I second the design pet peeve. I wish there were more slots to hold designs.

The weird stuff with bridges and their hitbox. You can put a bridge somewhere before someone moves in near it and then if you try to put it back there later you can't cuz there's someone too near.

Stones and ponds and how some maps have so many of them. My third town has the most rocks and ponds I've ever encountered in a town, it's ridiculous.

How stones have this weird but thankfully nice hitbox. You can place pwps and houses one spot away from them instead of two. It's pleasant but also inconsistent.

The actual cringe thing about ac for me is how people take pictures of their town and put filters on it. It annoys me cuz it's obvious, usually really tacky and actually often makes the picture ugly. Turning up the contrast to 300% does not make your picture look amazing and neither does blurring it. And it does not make your town look any better.
(i feel like the word cringe is a bit misused in the title)

That there aren't more plan-able events. I'd like to be able to have the mayor just declare gardening week or flea market or pick up shells day or beach day or anything like that. Like maybe limited to once per week or every other week or something, to keep it interesting. And have PWPs that you have to have before the event could launch, like the flower clock and arch before gardening week, or the picnic blanket and bonfire for a bonfire night.

"Oh you found the perfect spot? How about i move it 5 squares to the right and not give you that perfect spot, why the long face? It looks like somebody ruined your day"

^Me

Well if i were to go ahead and rant about the things in this game that makes me cringe, i can go on all day.

But those rocks really bug me, especially when placing PWPs, finding a spot for your house, and making paths for your town.

This is totally the spot for that.

Ugh. Tell me about it. I was bored a few days ago so I started an ACNL tumblr and there are so many generic 'pink' blogs out there. "I'm mayor Kyoto from Frosting! I TT so my town always has cherry blossoms. Dreamies (!!!) complete! I <3 Merengue! I would love to have Daisy in my town but she's like tier 4 yuck. What's you favorite anime? My mayor is depressed, shy and eats only strawberry Pocky. So kawaii!"

You literally just described 50% of dream towns I've let Luna pick.
The other 50% are people who literally just built the dream suite.

How in the **** do you actually get 50% of towns that have any effort?? When I used to let Luna pick in hopes of finding some tier 5 villager to see them in the game only 1/20 of the towns I'd visit would have a single path or a single anything. Just the default map with maybe 1 or 2 pwps. I guess I did see a bunch of empty towns with tier 1's but ye.

By barely ever going to the Dream Suite lol

Some of these posts have been making me laugh so hard! (With you, not at you.)

What makes me cringe the most is when you're having a WiFi visit with someone, and you're trying to type a message as quickly as possible because meanwhile, your mayor is just staring blankly at theirs, and you don't want them to think you're just being creepy or refusing to leave their town. There really should be a "hold on, I'm typing" emote that happens automatically.
