My smug is Marshal and I've really enjoyed him. I didn't remember enjoying Tex in the same way when I had him. But yeah I have my 3 normals...Aurora, Fauna, and Molly. I'm not bored of them because I love them.
Tex is such a cutie and one of my favourite villagers. I actually feel the opposite way than you. I voided Marshal because I disliked him so much. And I'm so sick of normals.. I just had about 5 of them in my one town, and I got 3 to move. I'm only keeping Lolly and I just got Aurora out. Now just to get Nana out...
My peppy villagers and snooty villagers also give me lots of gossip about moving villagers. For me my smug and cranky villagers gave me real art. More recently Tom, my cranky cat, gave me real art, and Tex does so often, he's the main contributor to the art section of my museum, haha.
I don't like smug villagers very much, but there are a few cute ones. I like to have one smug in my town. I don't mind having two of any other personality. I would hate to have more than three of the same personality because then I hear the same conversations repeatedly.
Although I do like the variety for PWP. I normally only ever have 2 of the same.
I enjoy most conversations except I don't like talking about working out(jocks) ?.?
I like to have one of each personality just because I think it's fun to vary the conversations that get generated. I also double up on my favorite personality to keep the genders even -- two peppy and two lazy!
I currently have:
1 Peppy
1 Normal
1 Smug (Moving Out on Sunday, so I'll have none)
1 Uchi
2 Crankies
2 Jocks
2 Lazies
I currently have no Snooties as my only snooty moved out last month... I'm hoping to move out one of my jocks as well to make room for a villager of each type...
