I heard that clients don't complain?

[GurglingT]

A friend that has the game tells me she's disappointed from the lack of sass from the villagers or clients.
Said someone requested a pink room, she made it blue and they still liked it.
Basically they don't critique they just like everything you do.

Is this true?
If it is that's kind of sad, I like the depth of the characters.

What dyou guys think?

yes, you can do whatever you want to your villagers houses, regardless of their requests, and they'll still accept them

 

[xiaonu]

It would be nice if the villager personalities played a role in this.. Like cranky villagers wouldn't give any consequences for going outside their guidelines but they'd still act like a cranky and be like "oh ive seen better" or something "cranky" along those lines

 

[Akimari]

So I can literally just make their houses exactly as >I< please? So if some idiot requests like a sports themed house I can turn it really girly and flowerly and frilly and they'll love it?

 

[okaimii]

Really? If that's the case then that's kinda lame.

 

[EpicMeli]

I'm glad other people are agreeing that this is lame!

um yeah but it creates freedom in designing what you want, which is the whole point of the game. it's only a guide or hont of the recommended theme IMO if people are stuck on what to do

 

[Shiny Spritzee]

That sounds a little disappointing. Although, I suppose its up to the player to decide how they decorate for that 'theme'. Sometimes what a person thinks and what the game thinks are two different things.

I agree it would have been nice if villager personalities influenced their dialogue if they were happy/indifferent/unhappy with the choices.

 

[LambdaDelta]

well the game is called Happy Home Designer

all homes you design are happy and nothing else, regardless of how they're designed

 

[Jinglefruit]

I heard you have to use the items that the villager starts with in boxes. (usually 2 or 3 of them, inside their house.) I think you might be able to finish and save their houses without those items - but they make it known they want those items first.

 

[Byngo]

I'm glad because I can have the freedom to make clients houses as ugly as I want, and I won't get in trouble!!!

 

[Chipped-Teacup]

That's a shame, I was thinking it'd be like Style Boutique in terms of the order functions :/

You can't finish their house without those items but a lot of the later villagers don't have needed items or a request, they just leave it up to you

 

[Rasha]

we already knew about that before in an interview, and yeah it sucks.
what the **** were they thinking smh

I laughed at this lol.
This is perfect xD

 

[Cold~]

I don't know if that's a good thing or not! This game seems to favor "personalization" over "gameplay"...
Seems like this series started to move in this direction with New Leaf... people just want to build pretty things to look at, in spite of the actual gameplay... it IS sad that the result looks so watered-down...!

 

[Xintetsu]

Personally I'm glad it is the way it is. That way I can design the rooms the way I want them, and a villager's request only provides the basic guidelines, a starting step to get my imagination going.
If they complained about you doing their houses wrong, the game would be more about doing things "right" than it is about creativity. Everybody's designs would be nearly the same to match the villager's request as close as possible. I can imagine the guides on how to get the most villager satisfaction already.

 

[Voluptua Sneezelips]

Players have clamoured forever to have more control over what villagers have in their homes. Nintendo has given us that control. They'll never please everyone. They can't. If they gave us less control and more consequences in HHD, you can guarantee that there'd be at least one thread complaining about how they missed a huge opportunity, that the game is too hard, that it sucks, that they should have given us more creative freedom.

While yeah, there may be no consequences in the game if we don't design according to spec, AC games have never been truly challenging beyond a certain point. Even if the villagers like whatever we do, whether it conforms with their specs or not, we can simply pretend that the ability to design whatever we like isn't there. It's all pretend, so let's pretend and challenge ourselves to design what villagers have asked for. Chances are good that many players default to a certain, basic style or look and pushing ourselves outside of that is a good thing.

I've decided that I'll design according to villagers' specs to start with, then do my own thing after that when I go back to redesign.

Ren?e, your taste is hideous. This will be fixed.
Garbage-loving freaks: you'll get garbage just so you feel as though I listened to you, then it's MY turn, baby.

Finally, an Animal Crossing game that I can speedrun on both any% and 100%! I bet we're seeing some WRs popping up now and then with the MLG material right over there.
