Most frustrating Nook Miles achievement for you to master ? And why?

[Shawna]

Okay, so this might turn into a bit of a rant, so bear with me.

Unpopular opinion, but I am going to have to say the "Island Togetherness" achievements. But why though? You're just talking to your neighbors, right? What is so frustrating about that? That seems pretty basic, right?

Right?

Well, as most of you know, you get these achievements by talking to ALL of your residents in a single day. Now, this shouldn't even be an issue. However, we all know how much these villagers like to mingle inside buildings, including the museum, which it is a nightmare to track down villagers in there.
It has taken me and others 20-30+ minutes just to track down a specific villager.
That is frustrating enough. Now, imagine doing this for ALL of your villagers. It's infuriating!

This is an issue in New Leaf too. I would spend 30 minutes or more, just trying to find a villager. Sometimes, I would look in literally every possible place -- inside or outside -- to NO AVAIL. I have even read about other people having the same issue.
I would literally have to keep saving and reloading my game just so the villager in question would appear in their house or somewhere outside. This was a pretty common occurrence too.

It's good that they are making villagers more interactive in the environment in these newer games, but for the love of Pete the pelican...we NEED an easy way to track down these villagers. One that doesn't require us to jump through hoops just to find them.
There are many ways this could be executed, but I love the idea people have brought up about calling them and them telling you, "I'm in the fish exhibit in the museum". Just an example.

Please, I hope AC6 considers this... >_<

It's not like I am in any rush to get every single Nook Miles achievement. I've only had my island since the release of the 3.0 Update and a lot of these achievements are meant to be long-term, taking a year or even longer to get all its stamps. It's just that I just can't stand when my villagers like to mingle inside buildings everywhere. The museum is the WORST. It has like 20 rooms and the building is like a freaking maze, hence why I call it the MAZEum.

I want to build friendships with my dreamies and eventually get the achievement stamps out of the way, but THIS makes something that should be so simple, so frustrating.

For me it's probably the K.K. Slider achievement. This achievement will literally take you a minimum of 100 weeks (just shy of two years) if you don't TT, like me. So far I've seen him like 35 times I am going be a granny by the time I finish it ;n;

On another note I cannot be bothered to plant more trees/flowers/veggies atm. I should have been done way long ago with them but I am so unmotivated, especially because you can just... pick up the ones that have already grown and move them wherever you want? Idk I'll cross that bridge when I get to it eventually lol

Probably the perfect snowboy achievement. It is kinda hard for me to make perfect snowboys imo.

You might be able to do that with veggies but flowers don't count that way. You have to plant the seeds. I'll have to experiment with the veggie plants. In any case I don't quite have the seeds done but I'll get it one of these times because sometimes I plop seeds when there's a daily Nook points reward for it. I understand how those achievements are fitting but a person gets to where they want to be with those, but yet it's not enough so you have to just start a whole lotta gratuitous planting.

Turnips.
I just don't like buying turnips and it's still a thing I don't really understand. I never even got any turnips in New Leaf nevermind trying to get good prices for turnips. 0-0

The only thing is that I like getting turnips to make those barrel things. And even then, I've only done it once.

For me it's the fishing ones LOL I'm just really not good at fishing in most games, and I really struggle with the ones where you have to catch so many fish without missing. I'll be doing really well, then I'll suddenly miss one and it's all over LOL

If you miss a catch you can close out before auto-save and you'll be good to go. It's cheating I know, but if you need some extra help you can do that

AAA I didn't know that what Nook doesn't know won't hurt him

The best advice someone ever gave me for fishing was to wear headphones, close my eyes, and listen for the splash. I've been doing that since WW and it almost never fails. If I try watching I get an itchy trigger finger and reel in too soon.

The ones where you have to catch 5,000 total fish and 5,000 total bugs. It takes foreeeveerrr and I've broken so many tools just to make dents in these Miles goals!
