Do you think there's still potential that Nintendo will increase the villager cap?

[cheezu]

The fact that each personality seems to have 2 sub-types makes me hopeful but, perhaps, I'm being a little too optimistic.
What do you think?
Is it something that could potentially be added on in a future update?

 

[Deca]

I really don't think so, and personally I couldn't care less either. I'm fine with the current amount

If anything, the personality subtypes just confirm that we're gonna be stuck with this amount and they just don't want us to get burnt out from the same villager types too quickly

 

[starlightsong]

Probably not unless they make the island bigger, which I'd be totally okay with lol... I just wish the personality subtypes felt like they made an actual difference, because I've cycled through a lot of villagers and they do different activities but their dialogue always seems the same and idk if I'm missing something It'd be nice if we could have 12 villagers at least though, and if you didn't want that many you wouldn't have to buy plots for them. I know some people are feeling like they don’t have a lot of space but I can’t imagine why anybody would be unhappy with something being completely optional! But yeah I think a bit more island space + 2 more villager slots would be perfect.

 

[Volmise]

Many more villagers and I fear a lot of us would run out of room on our islands... 10 feels like a nice even number without things being too cramped. I'd prefer two newer personality types instead, that way we can have one of each with no repeats.

 

[Krissi2197]

I'm not sure.

I had a lot of trouble finding space for even the 10 villagers they started us off with. Keep in mind (even though the percentage of this is very low) there can be up to 8 human players on the island PLUS 10 villagers. That's 18 spots right there. I can't even BEGIN to imagine figuring out placement for 18 spots for homes...

If they add a cap of 12 I may be okay with it but I really doubt they will, and I honestly hope they don't. UNLESS they expand the island somehow and make it bigger. Then I'd be okay with it.

 

[Mallindale]

I now have 10 and it means that when I look at my map there's a space in the list of villagers in the bottom left. I know it's for multi-player but I kind of wish if there's an odd number of players they'd put you into the centre or fill the space somehow as it's a bit annoying! That niggle aside, more would be nice but it doesn't feel essential right now.

Although I kind of wonder where the Nooks, Isabelle and the Able Sisters live. Above the shops I guess, perhaps via some hidden staircases. Big commute for them!

 

[Sloom]

I highly doubt it but I do wish it were possible. like maybe for people who don't want to have too many there could be a way to set a limit? but I have sooo many dreamies and every day I reconsider my dreamie list because it's just so difficult to sacrifice villagers for villagers. so many cool guys that don't fit in my island :((

I am also a mad lass who's planning on adding 8 characters with fully expanded houses to my island. I haven't started terraforming yet tho, so I don't actually know how much space I'll have for all of it. we'll see I guess, but I'd love to have 8 characters. I'd feel like I truly 100%'d the game after that lol

 

[Tako]

I feel like 10 villagers is perfect for the size of our islands. If I get anymore, I wouldn't know where to put them since the rest of my island space has been taken up by decoration. But it would be amazing if they roll out an update to allow us to expand the island somehow.

 

[Megina]

Give me a 2nd island that's just a residential area. I need more babies <3

 

[Kyneria]

I wish there was more freedom in changing opinions, like for example right now I have 10 villagers (more would be nice, but let me explain what I mean with freedom), but in the future some move and I don't want to island hop or get a random in that moment. It would be nice to kind of destroy or block that place until I feel like having more. That would mean people would also be able to have 10, or 12 (15 for me it would be too much without making the island bigger, so I'm hoping they add just a little more maybe with more personalities or species! Think about chameleons like Flick or owls like Celeste! I'm sad about special characters not having their species avaliable, I know it makes them special but Isabelle is special and at the end of the day she's a dog...). And other people may want a smaller amount of villagers while they plan out everything for a while and save for tickets!

 

[Fridaynightcatlady]

Nope

 

[edsett]

I feel its disappointing that after so many years they didn’t increase the villager limit. I feel like 12-14 would be a good amount but we’re stuck at ten. That being said, they did datamine a real estate shop, so I hope there’s an option to purchase more plots.

 

[Clock]

Ten should be an ok amount because some players might have a hard time finding a great layout with a larger cap. But it would be nice with 11 or 12 as a cap.

 

[JKDOS]

Oh god, please no. The map is too small for any more villager homes. We're not even allowed to demolish plots :'(

 

[Llunavale]

I agree with this. We really don't need more villager plots to be honest, not given the current map size and the pretty high chance we'll end up with more buildings to place. I already feel like I have to cram their homes next to each other so I have room to do anything else creative with the island (maybe a bit of an exaggeration but...still)

That said though, given we have the flexibility to place plots ourselves, I wouldn't be opposed to them having a higher cap (for people that want it) - as long as it doesn't penalise those of us who don't want it. I think if they add more, 10 should be like the "accepted limit" - any more than that is purely optional and doesn't affect island rating or anything like that.

Tbh 10 is okay-ish for me, but I think 2 more extra slots would work the best for me. I did say in another forum thread suggesting a hotel that houses up to 5 extra villagers but I highly doubt this will happen.

Im still boggled at how there’s a max capacity of 8 players but still 10 villagers. How can we fit 8 player homes?!

I have the 18 full homes up LOL it's quite do-able : ) but i'd say no more than what we're maxed at one too many is one too many haha.

 

[Dragostea Din Tei]

Ppl saying that "it would be too much and I don't hace space"... u do realize you can put their houses on the beach too, right?

 

[eat]

I think the best way is to increase the cap (like 2 more plots) but make it optional for the players.

Maybe even a paid DLC as long as it's reasonably priced.

 

[CowKing]

Wait, sub types? What does that mean?
