I woke up with the sudden urge to make an all-mouse island...

[letterKnumber9]

I've always liked the underdog in games, (example: I tend to sway towards the less-loved designs in Pokemon) and today I woke up to the unshakeable idea of a mouse villager sanctuary of sorts (since a LOT of people hate the mice in this game.) Only problem is that I'm about half-way through an all-new villagers island (Audie, Raymond, Cyd, Megan, etc...) and just thinking about the time it'll take me to move everyone without time travel makes me want to shelf this idea as a fever dream...

lol love it. I actually love the mice. I have a pet mouse. But I don't have a mouse villager hahha ironic, huh?

Rather than act on it straightaway, wait a couple of weeks and see if the urge disappears. If it doesn't then it's time to start rotating villagers!

Having a mono-species island is always great. But the villagers you currently have are practically rare (no amiibo). And it would be a shame to let them go, unless you are okay with that (or you can let others adopt them).

I like the idea. I do like the mouse villagers. My favorites are Cheddar and Broccolo. You could always just add one or two mouse villagers depending on who else you have on your island. It’s going to take me awhile to get an all penguin island since I can’t seem to let a few villagers leave.

I’m torn on this. On the one hand, as someone who has a monospecies island I’d totally say go for it. On the other hand, I’ve been interested in seeing an island with the whole new cast...I would probably agree with Vrisnem and wait a couple weeks before acting.

I don’t think I could ever have a mono species island because I enjoy diversity, although the idea definitely crossed my mind a few times. In the end, I think I prefer building towns/islands around villager exteriors rather than the villager species themselves. If I did a full species town I wouldn’t be able to pick house styles for themed areas, which is what I do in most games.

I’d say think on it and if you still really want to do it, you should go for it! I’ve never seen a full mice town before even though I think the mice are pretty cute overall. You could even try making fun areas like a miniature town with forced perspective

Cheese Trails!!!
I think you should so go with the idea! If you are still unsure, wait a week and see if you are still up to it. I know there is less variety with a mono island, but it can easily be super special and alot of fun because of the customization options. (And I'd imagine it can be a challenge sometimes too)

I love the mice, so it’s fun to see someone else excited about them instead of talking about how ugly they are. If the urge persists, go for it!

I have been playing ac since the gc version and I've only had 1 mouse villager(Anicotti) and that was in the gc version. I dont have any problem with them just never got them. I did have a chance to one that I regret not taking. I was island hopping and I met Bettina. She's adorable and I really wanted to invite her to my island but I was looking for specific villagers so I didnt. I have regretted it since and if I get the chance again ill def invite her. They just need to make it so we can have multiple islands thats all.

I wanted to do an all-bears (and cubs) island in New Leaf. I only had like 1-2 villagers left to accomplish that. As much as I love bears, I did miss having some variety and not being able to have certain villagers in my town. (And it broke my heart to let some of them go just because they weren't bears!) Anyway, I think it's a great idea, if you wanna do it, go for it!

 

[matt2019]

It’s a cool idea. Maybe do it with a second town?

 

[John Wick]

Mice rock.

I had Dora as my first ever villager in WW, 2005.
LOVED her.

Plus I use to breed mice.
Totally cyoot. ^_^

If you end up doing this...
Name the player Chuck E. and dress them up like Chuck E. Cheese.

 

[nightglow]

What would you name an island full of mice?

 

[nekosync]

do you like bella? i love her but i feel like everyone else doesn't ahaha

 

[letterKnumber9]

What would you name an island full of mice?

I don't think I'd restart my island, so I'll probably just keep the name I have right now.

do you like bella? i love her but i feel like everyone else doesn't ahaha

I do like Bella's design, it's quite unique. I did some quick planning and I thought I had to decide between her and Bree as the island's peppy, but seeing as there isn't an Uchi mouse, I could probably have them both maybe?

 

[Xara]

that’s a neat idea! it would definitely be a bit of work but if it’s something you’re interested in doing, i say go for it! but like @Vrisnem suggested, rather than acting impulsively, maybe toy with the idea for a week or two and if you still want to do it, i’d say to start planning things out. good luck!!

 

[oranje]

I think it's a cute idea! Kind of makes me wish there were more giant items in the game, so that you can decorate based on a mouse's perspective.

 

[Nunnafinga]

I just started an all-duck island so good luck with your mouse island if you decide to go through with it.I have Bree and Samson in New Leaf and I can recommend both of them.Btw,Bree is a snooty.
