Listen, there really isn’t any smug villager that I’m particularly fond of, but there are about 7 different cranky villagers I like. So I was thinking of replacing my 1 Smug hooligan with my 3rd cranky. I just wondered if there was any benefit to having at least one villager type in your town? Do certain personalities craft certain things? If that’s the case, I don’t wanna kick out my Smug dude!
 
I've heard about DIYs, but you can ultimately get those from other people online. I wouldn't worry about that unless you don't have access. More importantly, specific personalities give out certain reactions.
 
basically like everyone said diys. nookplaza will show you a list of personalities that ties the diy to.
 
DIYs and reactions aside, I guess it depends on how much you like interacting with your villagers. If you mainly want them to look cute while you run around your Island it won’t matter, but if you enjoy talking to them and seeing them as your neighbors/friends, I think there’s a definite benefit to variety.

In fact, I might choose to have only one of my favorite personality just so they continue feeling more special to me. I’m already noticing that I can’t enjoy each of my two lazies as much because they’re basically the exact same person. Kind of undermines their individuality.
 
i believe certain diys and reactions are personality-specific but diys you could always trade for and so once you have all the reactions, i see no reason to have all of the personality types if you don’t want them lol
 
Aside from DIYs and recipes, you're also granted a whole lot more conversation. You'll probably get bored speaking to your islanders if they're all the same personality.
 
Yeah I think the biggest benefit is getting to have varied conversations with your villagers. I have 3 normal right now (not by choice) and while I love the normal personality, having the same conversation over and over is annoying.

Also I love seeing the conversations between all the different personality types!
 
Really even the reactions?? ;/ do you have a link with the list? I miss a cranky villager...
I don’t know much with reaction, but this has most diys sorted with personality.

Quoting myself from another thread but:
The guidebook says:

Normal: pleased, fearful, sadness, glee, daydreaming
Peppy: Happiness, Aggravation, Sleepy, Curiosity, Mischief
Snooty: Joy, Intense, Thought, Sighing, Amazed, Love
Uchi: Greetings, Laughter, Cold Chill, Apologetic, Disagreement, Confident
Lazy: Delight, Bashfulness, Sorrow, Mistaken, Shyness, Pride
Jock: Surprise, Encouraging, Sneezing, Distress, Shocked, Flourish
Cranky: Agreement, Worry, Sheepishness, Bewilderment, Inspiration
Smug: Smirking, Resignation, Heartbreak, Dozing, Showmanship

Do non Amiibo campsite visitors request DIYs? Could be a (Slow) way to get them from those personality types if so
 
When I've read that DIYs and reactions were based on personality types, I tried to get all of them. But I got reactions and DIYs from other personality types as well. So it wasn't totally exclusive at all.

So I went and just have guys (cranky, jock, smug & lazy) in my island.

i don’t believe they do. i’ve only invited one camper so far but they didn’t request anything

This. I really enjoy seeing how different personality types interact. Raymond and Whitney can have long, sprawling conversations, while Marina and Merengue exchange just a few words between eachother. It definitely livens up the villagers on the island.

I have only had one non-amiibo campsite visitor thus far, and he did not request a diy. He just gave me a ton of luck based games, ultimately ending in me not winning a single one.
 
I’d like to have all personalities so that I can get all dialogue - this includes my least favorite type, uchi. And I still don’t have a snooty villager...
 
Besides what has already been mentioned about DIYs and Reactions, I do have to agree with other users mentioning the interactions between the different personality types. I think that keeps the dialogue interesting, thereby making the island more lively and multi-faceted in a sense. Imagine having 10 Normal villagers and just reading the same thing over and over again (not clocking any user who does this; definitely do what you want on your island--after all, it's yours and not mine!! ^_^). It will get boring and repetitive REAL fast. While cycling villagers out, I somehow ended up with 4 Normals by chance, and I literally could not stand having more than 2 on the island. I got so bored interacting with them, I needed variation. Luckily for me, I just moved-in the last personality type I was missing (cranky) so I am super excited to see how my villagers interact with one another!
