if you could change anything the game, what would it be?
- Thread starter CuteKatie
- Start date
There's so much I'd ask for and so much of it I know they'd never do but...
New villagers having to ask mayor's permission to move in and location of plot.
Being able to demolish rocks and other permanent structures (even if they must be immediately replaced in order to demolish the original)
Actual minigames. (This would add so much replay value)
Ability to change camera angles and see the world in 360 degrees
Ability to change town name, characters names, and location of your house (or even villagers houses too!) without demolition town.
A larger town in general. Maybe multiple areas that are all "customizable" like the main town.
This might seem weird, but I'd like everything to be "bigger" again. Remember when the trees and buildings were large and towered above the characters back in Population Growing? I miss that a lot.
I'd also love full character customization + a non-binary gender option.
Oh this list could go on forever... I'd have to remake the game!
ETA: ok these 2 were important and I forgot to add them, plus they're more realistic goals.
>LESS UNNECESSARY DIALOG PLEASE
>And definitely a LOT more storage. I think they skimped on storage because it's a DS game this time around, but the next console release if there is one, they should add much more storage. Maybe even online storage for anyone with access to it!

• Something i'd love would be able to have complete control over your towns appearance, as in, *you* choose where you want the town hall, re-tail, rocks, beach placement, etc. to be. You could have to option to make it random if you'd like, but I'd love to have the choice there.
• Town terrains would be another neat idea. For example, having a tropical town with all palm trees and such, or maybe snow. It would really give each town a different feel to them!
• Borrowing a few ideas from Harvest Moon, it'd be neat to have more house customization. Say, adding a porch to your house, a balcony, a backyard, and in general just more options. Or maybe, choosing your house to be a tree house! (I'd honestly love that.)
• A more complex pattern designing system. They could keep the simple one in, but also implement a more involved designer that you could choose to use, maybe you have to unlock it.
• If you've ever played Magician's Quest: Mysterious times (a very strange, silly animal crossing knock off), you'd see that you could have deeper relationship with your villagers... not extremely so, but you could date them, or be enemies, or just regular friends. You could also take them on play dates to some of the restaurants in town, or the garden!
• Another thing from Magician's Quest was instruments! You could buy many different instruments and play them in town. Villagers would eventually join you in whatever song you were playing, and it'd be like some cute little band. Other player characters could join in with you too C: Think of all the cool K.K. Slider songs you could play!
• Speaking of K.K. Slider, I want the old K.K. back. I'm not a big fan of his new DJ persona, to be honest. Maybe its the nostalgia talking, but I liked him better in the past.
• Thinking back to Earth Bound, I realized it'd be pretty neat to be able to ride bikes around town. Maybe a villager could sit on the handlebars and ride with you XD?!
• "apartment buildings" where multiple villagers (or player characters) could live! Kind of like Wild World (Or was it City Folk?), almost.
• More places to go. Could be anything! I just want to take that train more often. Going camping? Parks? Theme parks? Visiting the player character's mom? Hotels where you could meet other real people (although that's very similar to club tortimer.)
• Something in Populating: Growing that I noticed was that villagers participated more in holidays. For example, I remember there was one "exercise" event where Copper would be leading a work out session, and villagers would join him in it, and you could too! It was so cute, and simple but I really enjoyed it.
• More hair styles! More hair styles! More hair styles!
• Making PWP placement easier. Instead of blindly running around and guessing, actually have like a grid and you'd place it yourself.
• A green house for growing flowers!
Also to be able to have sleepovers with villagers or players would be great! To be able to cook and more food items! More bushes and garden items, more pwp and make them easier to get. Make trees easy to grow and grow pretty much anywhere!

A system where you can withdraw checks from the Post Office, and use those checks to make multiplayer trades. I'm not too fond of carrying stacks upon stacks of 99k bells. These checks would only be used for player interaction though, so the check could be deposited into their bank account. It wouldn't work for NPC villagers and such.

Also, there should be a way to choose where villagers live. I think a good idea to this is having Isabelle come up to you and mention a villager coming in, and is having trouble finding a home. You could then say yes to this or no, in which it would just randomly pick a spot.

Villager placement and rock placements would be huge. I didn't realize I had too many rocks until the town was somewhat complete and by then I didn't want to start over. For villagers, I would be happy just to have an option where villagers could NOT be placed. Like right in front of the bridge, or right in front of my house. LIke "no-go" zones. It doesn't even have to be that sophisticated, I just don't want major thorough-fares blocked.
When Redd, Katrina or when it's the Fishing/Bug Tourney and their tents come along and destroy the QR Codes I used to decorate the plaza and I just wish that when they leave, the QR Codes are still just there because it's annoying to continuously place my design each time they visit.

Villager placement isn't a big deal for me, apart from the time when I lost all my gold roses. Damn you Butch
I think that it would be cool though.
Also this may just be me, but I think you should be able to phone villagers up and arrange meet ups like that.

Too Fabulous for you ~
i want to be able to marry wolfgang
no? oh, alright.
i want more wildlife diversity. different flowers, different fish, different bugs, stages of bugs (larvae and pupae and adults, or naiads and nymphs, etc etc). also, mushroom breeding. farming. i want a harvest moon x animal crossing crossover.

No villagers moving out just because you havent played in awhile & more dialogue!
I'd like improved villager dialogue; and more "places of interest" like the Island to visit; perhaps like a fossil excavation area, a rainforest with more exotic bugs and fish to catch (trees grow like crazy here so it's sort of like an ever-changing maze, you gotta bring your axe and shovel to navigate and you can find rare exclusive items hidden in the thicket). And there are already a lot of events, but more holidays won't hurt! I'd also like more personality types, and the lifting of the gender restrictions on personality.
And I guess more part-time jobs we could take up. Making coffee is fun, but it gets old. Can't think of anything else at the moment though. Perhaps, be a skipper trainee for Kapp'n, where he'll train you in sailing the seas. And there are obstacles you have to surmount, and items to be found? I don't know...
House placement doesn't really bother me; it's a nice challenge to deal with "bad" plots, and I like to think I'm a "good Mayor" by being able to deal with them
