Is it just me, or do villagers of the same personality type feel different?

[starlightsong]

I have Hamphrey, he's 100% nature interest. I haven't seen him NOT smelling pansies. When he isn't, he's plopped his little butt by the river half the time.

Oh that's adorable tbh!! I might cycle Hamphery in for a little while at some point, he's probably one of my favorite crankies. Something about a tiny little hamster whose body gets totally buried in a field of flowers not only being cranky, but also loving said flowers, is just too cute to me. I'm afraid he'll be a carbon copy of Chief in terms of dialogue since I haven't really been noticing dialogue differences with my same-personality villagers, but again, maybe I'm just getting unlucky with the ones I've had or not being observant enough.

I'm personally not a huge fan of the hamster villagers myself, but I don't particarly dislike em. Flurry actually was my most recent random move in, who replaced Gladys who moved out a few days ago.

I don't see it. I had Anchovy and Rex at one point and they both said and did almost the exact same things. I didn't like Anchovy because of his looks and his house, but I keep Rex around for now. Caroline and Olive both say the same things as well, but I like Olive better. It just depends what you think of them.

I kinda see it. Apollo is always dancing is singing by the river while Wolfgang is usually observing objects with a magnifying glass or reading.

Chevre is usually observing things as well while Lily is constantly working out.

 

[PugLovex]

i agree! i have 3 normal villagers on my island (lolly fauna and nana). lolly seems to be very social, she sings a ton too! nana is very sweet and kind, and reads a lot, and fauna is constantly talking about nature and watering flowers!

Then the document really needs to be updated, because its incredibly misleading.

Hello! I'm the owner of the spreadsheet you linked earlier. I know it's been a couple weeks since this thread was active, but what did you find misleading about the sheet?
Edit: Everything @swifterly said was correct. If the style-subpersonality split was confusing... those are some of the few columns with titles, and they definitely say "style preference" and have been that way for weeks.
Additionally, we've figured out the sub-personalities. They only become apparent at high friendship (over 150 points out of 250 possible) and are basically just a pool of high friendship-exclusive lines, and not much else. Thankfully they're a good way to tell how much friendship you have with a villager.
Here's a document by another dataminer with that information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b2rrEIeNZKnQrvoyD4JtkKSNJs2VAHobCBGKSnO2A_o/edit?usp=sharing

It was basically what swifterly mentioned, plus the fact I was looking at it when it was just being made so it was just a WIP and I just misunderstood a bunch of stuff. It's fine now.

Yes, i feel it too, even their voices and dialogues are a little bit different

 

[Rasha]

I have 5 cranky villagers on my island (Bruce, Lobo, Chief, Fang and Wolfgang) and I can easily say that Bruce just seems much nicer than the rest, when I used one of the reactions like the greeting or the jolly one he greets me back and tends to like to copy some of my other reactions. This is never the case with the other crankies, they never wave back at me and never like to copy my reactions, they just smile.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

Villagers are confirmed to have 'sub personalities' and interests/hobbies, which give them different dialogue. Villagers even have a "Low/Normal/High" pitch for their voices.

wait really? so i wasn't imagining it that jeremiah talks at a higher pitch than punchy! this is kinda amazing.

but yes, to answer the OP, like what was mentioned here there are sub personalities now that will determine a certain villagers hobbies. they all still work out, water flowers, sing, etc. but they will most likely do the activities more often as to what sub personality they have.

The difference I’ve had between Clay and Bob is honestly startling. Just a few days after getting bob I was getting villager dialogue I had never heard after months with clay!! Bob almost never goes into weird bug mode and seems more, uh... With it.
Clay is a weird little dirt gremlin with a head full of bugs. I love him but my god the boy is wild.

They do share a bit of dialogue, but bob has for the most part been like how I recall lazy villagers in the past- sleepy, food obsessed, a little weird. Whereas clay shocked me with how bizarre and feral he is. That little man is wild.

So much misinformation. Go here to read up on personalities sub types. They are not that impressive.

Personality Subtypes

Personality Subtypes? So you may have read the companion guide and came across this: It doesn’t elaborate beyond that, but we have found information that suggests these subtypes exist. It’s called NpcTalkType What does it do? As far as we know currently, the only thing NpcTalkType affect...

Yeah I have a suspicion that their are sub personality behaviors that are randomly determined when the villager is added.

Sub personalities are not randomly assigned.

Villagers are confirmed to have 'sub personalities' and interests/hobbies, which give them different dialogue. Villagers even have a "Low/Normal/High" pitch for their voices.

Only sub-personalities give different dialog. Hobbies affect how they act. There is a strong correlation between voice pitch and personality. Different species also have different voices.

Marshal's sub personalities are: Elegant and Cool, and his interest is Music.
Raymond's sub personalities are: Elegant and Cool, and his interest is Nature.

They're similar, but are slightly different.

For everyone else, here's a google document listing everything:

NmlNpcParam - ACNH

docs.google.com

Elegant/Cool/Active are their style preferences.

Elegant and Cool aren't their subpersonalities - those two columns are the animals' style preferences. Most likely determining which clothes they like (ex., when you give them a shirt and they go "this is exactly my style!").

The subpersonalities and what determine them has not been discovered yet, but there are research threads ongoing. The ACNH Official Guide confirms that there are 2 subpersonalities of each personality, but doesn't go into any more detail.

The information about interests is correct though! Each animal can have one of six interests, with some interests being more common for certain personalities. This determines how often you'll find them doing different activities around the island (singing, fishing, working out, etc) and definitely gives the villagers some more individuality.

Sub personalities are listed in column "AH" represented by a 1 or 0. Personality sub-types only affect a small amount of dialogue. you can see them listed here.

Sub-personalities only affects dialogue, hobbies are separate, although there is a correlation between personalities and hobbies.
