Oh, I have so many things I'd be at this all night. The biggest one would be an ability to enact laws as mayor. These would be for multiplayer, and would be to prevent people from destroying your town. You could ban axes, shovels, or tools altogether. Best friends wouldn't be affected by this so you could still play normally with them. This would be mainly to make trading less risky, as right now anyone you let in has the potential to destroy your town.
As to who would enforce these laws, I have 2 ideas. The first and probably most obvious would be to give it to the police station. Whenever the gate is open, Copper would be seen patrolling the town. It would be cool to see him doing actual police work for a change. Whenever someone unauthorized attempts to pull out a forbidden tool, Copper would yell at them through a megaphone.
My second (and favorite) idea would be to have Resetti be the one to enforce it. This would be kind of like his role in the movie. Whenever someone breaks a law, he would pop out of the ground next to them. At first, he would be calm and treat broken laws as a misunderstanding, but he would become angrier with each broken law, to the point where his screaming can be heard throughout the entire town.
This would be completely optional. You could have a town with 0 laws if you wanted. This would just be nice so people don't have to worry as much.

Haha I love this idea! And if someone attempts to pick up a flower or trample them, Leif pops up :’D I really think we should be given more power as mayors. Even being able to decide where plots go without plot resetting.
I also thought the idea of sending mail to other players is very handy. Maybe for random trades both users need to turn on a receiving/on/off thing when you are expecting them to send mail so it doesn’t get too hard to manage (and so you don’t get junk) but more relaxed for best friends.

i would like happy home designer additions for house customization. i want to change the windows and add ceiling fans and most importantly i want things to go in half blocks and have my mayor squeeze through spaces 
the way hhd does furniture customization is also really helpful but also i know that wouldn't work but i wish cyrus could at least give you a preview of what your furniture would look like
sending things to friends is also a really good idea

Warnings and tantrums mean nothing. In the event of unlawful behavior, the scene should switch immediately to the Plaza where the miscreant is seen dangling from the temporary gallows. Hmmmm nice PWP?

Actually, I just had another idea. They should not only bring back the auction house, but expand it. I know it was basically useless in City Folk, but it was implemented terribly. This is the game where we got Club Tortimer. They should have had real-time auctions where you could choose to be with random players, or create private rooms.
There would be a new kind of room which would enable 2 players to trade with each other, kind of like Pok?mon. This would make it impossible for people to be ripped off, and create a more streamlined trade process.

For the game to be an open world and you live on different parts of the animal crossing planet! Everyone is neighbors and you can choose for people to visit you or not. That would be nice if they made a more complex crafting system in this game too. Like for feeding villagers their favorite food, or repairing their clothes to make like little quests!
I love your idea, but can I offer an improvement?
Make it like Minecraft's safe mode, only people you give permission can do certain things.
Set it to a list of
Destroy Patterns
Destroy Flowers
Chop Trees
Shake Trees
Pick things up
etc
You can go through the list and pick which things regular guests are allowed to do and which things best things are allowed to do.
If it's similar to minecraft mode, they can still take out an ax and "chop down trees" The only thing is no matter how many times they swing their ax the tree will never actually fall, and neither will the fruit. They can also run, but will never destroy anything by running. That way we don't get yelled at for accidentally swapping an item and the system is still in place.

Hey, if Legend of Zelda can go that route, why not
i have been thinking how nice this would be to be able to do. it wouldn't be a problem with towns with multiple villagers that are the same because you can choose the town to send to.
i would LOVE a select all option anytime you're looking in your pockets, the lockers or the secret storeroom, especially for transferring or selling or just dropping them onto the ground. it can for just the items you see on on the screen and not for the whole locker of 180 items. i would also love a SEARCH option for all current items when in any of these screen or even a catch all search of ALL your current items. i had to look everywhere multiple times for my zelda dress and a search would come in super handy.
More color options for customizing furniture instead of what cyrus gives you and i'm talking about just solid colors.
More interactions between Mayor and villagers and the option to have any amount of villagers, up to a certain extent. no villagers should be able to randomly move in unless you allow it, such as through campsite, adopting from another village or allow random move in's.
Someone said it in another thread i think and that is the option to upgrade / customize villagers houses - exterior and interior. that would be awesome!
Decorating should be way more easier with more PWP's and paths being a lot more user friendly. say, draw a path with the stylus and have that pattern lay where you just drawn, no more one at a time. that would be so cool! and lock down of paths so no other players (or you) can accidentally erased it. along with this, please, more design slots. maybe even categorizing the patterns into paths, clothes, furniture, flags, wallpaper & floors, etc.
Sole power of villager placement because it is after all your town. the option to turn on random move in... the best of both worlds.
LOL i could probably go on and on and on. so many of all these suggestions would be just so awesome to have!!!
I've never seen this suggested and this is GENIUS! I'm all about features that aren't imposed on the player: don't like the law system? Don't use it!
Laws to prevent other players from trolling/destroying towns would be amazing. I also would like a feature to LOCK a path pattern, meaning you can't accidentally erase paths while picking up items and such.

Unfortunately you can't stop people from running through your flowers.
I don't like any idea involving Resetti or the police station, since both (to me) are a useless annoyance, especially Resetti who has essentially ruined NL for me.
There should be one more update to NL.
The ability to demolish the PWP's like the Reset Center and Police Station.

100% agree with the Happy Home Designer additions, having more freedom to customize your house
would be amazing. I would also like to have a garden with the option to use furniture outside like you
could do in HHD. And I also wish that you would get a preview of the furniture customization at Cyrus.
Sometimes, when I couldn't check it out in the internet how a item after the customization would looks
like, I had to guess it and hope that it would turn out as I would like it. Having a preview would be really
helpful and would also save time and bells.
I dunno about NL, but demolition of all PWPs (except maybe ones that are on main street and stuff) would def be a welcome addition in a new game. It’s kinda hard to tell if you’ll want your campsite or cafe in a certain place after a big redesign.
Previews would be so convenient.... please nintendo
Also HHD house customization is so good I’d love it to be fully available in a main series game!
I'd like to see them all return but not as permanent PWPs. It's why I always take sooo long to add the station or cafe. Also, personally I really hate the police station now because I thought it had the same 3x3+door spacing requirements as villager houses, not realizing it has two blocks in front of the door instead of one >_< I had the most PERFECT place and that threw me all off.

I think if they updated it, they should give Reece and Cyrus a little purple alpaca baby.
I also think as mayors, we should be given the right as to who moves in. For example, Isabelle shows us a clipboard with the name of the villager who wants to move in and we get to either accept or deny their request.
PLACING HOUSES IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!

I can't see us getting another update to acnl.
So looking towards a Switch ac - then Nintendo have to give us something new, a port would cause complaints as per some players did with acww to accf (althougth I liked accf a lot & thought it was more than a port).
Haven't found this myself, found via a Reddit Nintendo post: this would be 'new' and it could work with an ac game.
Its not streetpass; as far as I can see totally innovative:

Edit:I''m making the assumption that this linking of screens could work in Switch, rather than a totally new console. Maybe too much of an assumption.
