nitpicks with the game?

[arboriavillager]

I hate how the camera causes trees to obstruct everything that isn't forward facing. Also, any item where one dimension is 1.5... it's so evil

Also I want to mention how lazy and uchi villagers get tired of talking to you after like 1 min... it's really annoying

I want to be able to customise fences, I'd love white picket ones but they are stuck in the natural wood colour.

Also, maybe it will be in an update soon but i wish it had been in the game at release: FOOD ITEMS. I miss all the amazing food you could have in new leaf, my cafe is severely lacking in the cake department rn

I'm not sure if this is really a nippick but I do want to state it!

I wish there was an arboreal and floral section of the museum somehow put in with the bug area. I think the bug area is great, especially the butterfly area! But it would be cool to see all the different flowers you've gotten so far and used an official display. It's like giving something nice to the bugs you caught~

This is a rather small nitpick, but I'm sorta disappointed that certain items still aren't stackable, specifically unprocessed fossils/fossils that Blathers hasn't processed yet.

I know they weren't stackable in previous games, but I notice that my inventory ends up getting filled much faster in NH rather than NL, whether it's because of tools, resources, flowers, or other things. Having stackable unprocessed fossils wouldn't make my inventory space any bigger, no, but it'd be a lot more convenient than needing to constantly rearrange and dump stuff to pick up fossils.

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.
i wish more things were stackable, like flowers that are the same or fossils or anything that should be able to stack. it leaves me without room in my inventory, especially because of how much i like to collect things and clean up. i have to make back and forth trips between my house or a trash can or whatever just to get more storage space for....essentially, junk.

I totally agree with you!

It's so weird how items that should be stackable aren't, y'know? Any duplicate items should be able to stack, or at least that's what I'm used to in other games, so it's frustrating to pick up certain items only to find out they don't stack for whatever reason. I've ended up underestimating the amount of space in my pockets numerous times because I'd assume flowers, fossils, etc. are stackable when they aren't. I just think that either all items should be stackable or none of them should be.

I also totally relate with the back and forth trips. Right now I have very limited space at my house, so I've resorted to just dropping resources wherever I can. It's made my island very messy, but I've gotta deal with it until I can get the storage/pocket space to carry everything again. :')

My main complaint is that there's no crafting in bulk option. Crafting a ton of fish bait at once for instance would be so amazing, or building 200 fence pieces at once. Buying Nook Miles items / NMT's in bulk would be great as well.

This.
Also, why don’t the clams stack? Another thing is storage. I wish there was separate storage for clothing and materials and furniture. Materials need to be able to be accessed from a separate chest that is outside of the home. Speaking about clothing, there needs to be an ability to buy multiple pieces of clothing. Cool, we can buy an outfit, but I’d like each colour of your baseball shoes without having to go in and out of your dressing room, please and thank you.

Adding to OP's flower complaint: if you open your town to strangers, they can grief your town by planting flowers everywhere if you're not watching them. You don't need to be friends with someone to do that and it can totally ruin a town layout.

People can also grief your town by dropping offensive patterns at Able Sisters. Reporting a villager's clothes to Isabelle doesn't take the clothes out of their "wardrobe" and hats can't be reported at all, so if one of your villagers starts wearing a hat that says "I love stinky butts" it could take weeks for them to get rid of it completely. They'd be a stinky butt lover for weeks.

Apart from that, I hate that there's a 130 pattern limit to what you can upload under your creator code. I wish they'd just bring the QR code system back. It's clearly doable since the game lets you use old codes when you scan them with your phone.

 

[Nefarious]

Most definitely the QoL issues everyone has brought up before (i.e. fish bait crafting).

Another tiny thing is not being able to set items on the center of a table outside.

 

[Sweetley]

The fact that you can put DIYs into the storage really bothers me.

Also agree with the flower problem. I would like to plant more flowers actually, but I don't wanna take them over my whole island...

 

[seularin]

nook's cranny not lining up with an incline

 

[itsrowan]

This! I feel the exact same way.

Even though it's not to the point where my DIYs dupes take up a lot of space, it's still weird to me that there isn't someplace else where you can store them.

 

[Baroque]

Depends on what you'd consider a nitpick, really. A lot of things mentioned here are legitimate QoL improvements that absolutely should be made.

My biggest gripe, though, is the absence of mass buying and production. Like, guys, I have 120,000 Bells in my wallet right now, I want to buy AS MANY customization kits as I can. If they can program an option to buy 5 of them in one go, then it should be easy for them to make it possible for me to buy 200 of them in one go. Similarly, I don't want to have to craft every single fish bait individually: I have 25 clams in my freakin' pockets, I should be able to just craft 25 of them in one go instead of wasting a full 3-4 minutes crafting them all.

my weirdest nitpick is that I hate that you can't hear your steps when you are running on a custom design path. When you use a game path, you can hear your steps depending on the type of path you use (and the type of shoe changes the sound too) and it satisfies me. I wish you could hear the sound of the path you put bellow the custom. It's so minor and stupid but it drives me nut lol it's the epitome of nitpick

 

[patrickg]

One thing that continues to perplex me is the idea of "transformations." ... I really dislike how wand outfits can't be quickly changed without going to a closet, and how they prevent you from going into the dressing room at Ables. But, more confusingly, how wand outfits don't follow the same rules as Island Designer. The game refers to the outfit you wear when activating Island Designer as a transformation.... and yet, you can enter Ables dressing room with no problem. Transformations kind of seems like a half-baked mechanic.

 

[Aliya]

I really don't understand why we can only buy 5 of an item max. It just seems like a really dumb limitation and I don't see why they can't just make a simple counter so you can buy as many as you want.

Same thing with bulk crafting. If I have enough for 10 bait, I wish I could craft all 10 at once since it's likely you will be crafting multiple with consumable items and materials that are only used in one recipe.

Why does the yellow cute set have hot pink accents? The hot pink nearly looks red to me and it really threw me off. The blue cute set doesn't have any pink accents and I'm a little salty lmao. It messes with my all yellow aesthetic

 

[Tartarus]

Custom clothing models from New Leaf are in the game but we can't edit them directly, the only way to access them is to create a QR code using New Leaf or an online pattern editor. There's no other way to get things like the horned hat.

It would be so nice if the game would let you choose what stepping sound you want your road patterns to make..

 

[Lavamaize]

Terraforming. It takes an age.

I'm with you. It takes so long and actually requires some planning too. It would be nice if we could transport up a tier without pulling out the ladder (even though it does not seem very AC lol), and in addition, not have to completely redo a structure because you place a water fall and now want to round the cliff next to it or such.

I miss this hairstyle a lot.
