To have more say on village details. Such as deciding what kind of beach you want, deciding on a specific river, native fruit, etc. It would be so wonderful to just fill out a little survey in the beginning to get the perfect town.
It's been said a bunch, but definitely being able to designate where villagers could build their houses. Two times I've had new villagers build their house over my little perfect cherry orchard (I'm looking at you Lucky and Zucker...).
It'd be cool if Nook (or anyone really) expanded into construction and gave us a catalog of PWP to choose from rather than waiting on villagers to suggest things. I'd like to build more PWPs but I don't get many suggestions and the ones I do get are ones that displease the mayor. >8I
I'm going to repeat my earlier posting: Zoning Control!
I haven't updated my Dream Address (last town date: Sept. 15, 2014), in the last few weeks because, in my main town Applewin, I just picked up a void from my soon-to-be reset town Temps.
That voided villager is, as expected, now at a location which disrupts the town flow. So, now I get to spend wasteful time trying to drive out that voided villager. It would have been more easily manageable if that villager had at least gone in a designated slot established between my town mayor [Jill] and Isabelle.
I would love to know if any of the "Animal Crossing" people ever visit these forum boards to get feedback on player use. After all, why wouldn't they want to improve the next edition? If that is the case, I want them to imagine me yelling at them to make the next mayoral-concept of "Animal Crossing" one that has … ZONING CONTROL!
Uhm...
Probably....
Starting villagers? Maybe the ability to have another town separate from your other one on the same Game Card/ Download, Villager personalities (Rover could be all like "S'up dawg! Now, tell me, cuz', what are you like? ANSWERS: Funny, Boring, etc...)
Yeah. Yeah.
I am jeenus.
I meant genius.
I said genius, you just cant read.
Or can you?

I would get rid of the 16 villager cycle. Definitely. Maybe they should keep track and not put the same villager right back in our camp, but I'd like to be able to go right back out and find villagers. Too many kids get their hearts broken - if they are going to let villagers move out unexpectedly, I think hunting them back down should be allowed. After that, I'd go with the previously mentioned options to choose and/or change skin tones in the game.
I'd love a bit more inventory space. Either a separate area for tools, or maybe a backpack that could be purchased to double inventory space.
Also, like others, I'd love to choose where villagers place their houses as well as have some say in where rocks are.
-No grass deterioration
-All badges are actual achievements and not just time wasting things (no more weed pulling badge please)
-Wild World system where there was a special visitor to your town each day, and talk people out of moving
-Separate inventory for tools, which allows you to have silver gold and normal variants with you at the same time. Maybe i want black roses and not gold ones.
There should be something to let you go on hiatus without having to worry. You could go talk to Isabelle and tell her you'd be away, and until you returned nothing would change. I know there are ways to keep villagers from moving while you're away (I wrote a guide about that) but it's much less convenient.
The house upgrades should be different. I wish you could opt out of expanding the first room entirely and have the other rooms unlocked from the start. Maybe to add floors you could be required to have a total of a certain number of squares on the ground floor but otherwise I hate that your main room ends up looking huge before you can add more rooms.
On that note, the house loans are ridiculous. The second upgrade adds two squares to each side of your main room and costs 90,000. That doesn't make any sense.
I think that most other features are fine. There are some I don't like but can cope with, but the ones above are the ones that annoy me. I also wish pings could be more balanced. I've had weeks when the same 2 or 3 villagers would ping me over and over and not a single request to move from anyone else.

-Villager placement. Need I say more. I end up spending more than an hour or so picking a place for a new villager that randomly pops up around town, something a MAYOR should have a choice on.
-Rocks. For the love of all that is holy. I've had to re-renovate multiple times because apparently nothing but flowers can be planted by them. "Oh, you'd like to destroy the rock? Okay! Should be gone by morning!"
-PWP restrictions. "Too close to the river... to the house... to the light way the **** over there, tehehe!"
I swear, they made Isabelle extremely cute so she wouldn't be strangled lol. And not having to have them 2 spaces min. between them. Oh, and less of a limit of how many.
-Being able to plant things (trees, bushes) by PWPs and houses.
-Custom shoes, pants, and even hair.
-Isabelle letting you know as soon as you get on, "____ came in today and said they were thinking of moving! Maybe you should talk to them?"
Lots of good points in here. Choosing where villagers build their home is probably number one for me. To keep it semi-random you could have say, four temporary plots laid out when you start the game and Tom would ask you to approve one of them.
I'd like more direct villager interaction too. Let me choose when to invite people over and when to invite them for walks or fishing trips. Also, I want to give them gifts directly or leave one on their doorstep.
I must be one of the few peope who likes grass deterioration though. It adds a bit of character to the game, I'd rather that than everything was perfect and sterile. I just came to accept that walking speed is the default speed for the game, as if there were no run button and now I don't feel restricted or tempted at all. Walking is fast enough for a leisurely game like Animal Crossing.
