It’s the Little Things

[intestines]

I love how they make villagers do actions. Diva was lifting heavy weights at my plaza

i just discovered that sometimes when villagers are near each other, instead of starting up a conversation, they’ll wave at each other which i think is adorable c’’:

I think its interesting, I held a ceremony and one of my villager was missing. Later learn they were sick.

Not sure if already mentioned, but if you visit an island you can see little trails in the sky from the airplane.

I have peaches as my native fruit and I decided to make a peach chair for my garden this afternoon. Now Diva's decided to sit on it to eat a donut

I'm glad river trash has a purpose now. It makes me feel a little better every time I reel it in instead of a fish.

I also love how we can see islands in the distance when on the cliffs or walking down the beach. It gives the game a sense of community, that even on a remote island, you still have neighbors. I like to imagine those islands are the islands of other players!

I'm a huge sucker for good water physics in game, and hoo boy does the water in NH look good. Especially when it's raining! The top down view of the river being peppered by raindrops is so nice and relaxing... I adore it.

I just came across Lolly singing on a riverbank. Every now and then, she'd get distracted and look into the water with her mouth in an 'o'. Then she would start singing again. No fish there, it must have been the ripples that distracted her.

Meanwhile, Flora is sprinting on the beach.

I found a lost item today and showed it to Cookie. Cookie thought it might be Ava's, and lo and behold, it was! There was no option to show a lost item to any other villager besides Ava (didn't show up when I talked to Erik).

If this is really how lost items will work from here on out, that will be a huge time saver!

Villagers can visit each other! Just visited one and another villager was there too just hanging out.

Able sisters display window changes everyday.

Bare feet make a different sound on the paths than wearing shoes.

I was just playing at 6am for the first time and the atmosphere was amazing... the lighting changes throughout the day and into the evening have me dreaming

 

[fairyring]

last night i was playing after midnight and noticed merengue was still out which is unusual as she's normally asleep by then. i talked to her and she acknowledged that she's not usually out that late and said even she has her sleepless nights. then this morning i woke up around 11 and got on ac and noticed she wasn't outside yet, so i went to her house and she was in workout clothes, holding her weights, sleeping. every time i spoke to her she would apologize for nodding off. she must have been tired from her sleepless night!!

I noticed today that the butterflies actually land on the ground now and slowly start to float up into the air and fly away. The amount of detail put into this game is insane.

I was taking a walk down one of my busiest pathed areas and see Agent S coming towards me. I quickly flash greetings emote and she does one back (already heartwarming. suck it haters) Then here comes Vivian and she greets me while going in the same direction asAgent S. I follow them up where they were heading and find both of them sitting on a bench reading together. (cuteness overload!!!!!)

 

[WhitneyLeigh23]

I’m loving standing by my ponds in the evening and early morning... the cherry blossom petals that settle and float on the surface of the water are mesmerizing!!

A cute little thing I've noticed is that, because Reneigh and Robin are best friends now (don't know or care how that happened), every time they see each other they give a little wave.

 

[WhitneyLeigh23]

Yess I love the neighbor relationships that form! I’m so happy with the villager improvements, and I hope we get even more dialogue and representation from the with the future updates

- It's much easier to catch fish (I've only pressed the button too late for one so far).
- Villagers talk to each other way more often than in NL.
- I love that some fish and bugs show up in multiples in the museum (anchovies, tiger butterflies, etc.) It makes it look more realistic than just having one lonely one of each.
- The wind can blow more gently or more strongly, and it affects how much the flowers blow around and how fast the balloons travel.
- Villagers change into workout clothes and pajamas

Cherry walking around the butterfly exhibit, absolutely entranced, is the cutest thing.

My island has been windy since last night and it's so awesome to see everything outside move to it.

Villagers stick to paths when they walk around. I love that, as it lends an air of realism to it, not just something you put down for decoration.
