Pet peeves on acnl

1.)I wish I could give my villagers items without mailing or selling it to them like how they can do with us.

2.)The fact that there is no long hair option at Shampoodle.You can only have short or medium length hair,I don't get why you can't have long hair without using the Mii Mask.

My biggest pet peeve is Isabelle. They tried too hard to make her cute and she ended up annoying. I wish you could choose between Digby and Isabelle as your secretary.

I also really wish they had some sort of skin color selection in the beginning. I understand that would require them to completely change the way the game generates characters but ehhhh is that such a bad thing? I know you can play as your mii but that takes away from the game imo. you're just a big bobble headed person I don't even know...... It's just really disappointing.

 

[fairysyndrome]

my biggest pet peeves are probably the repetitive dialogue (especially with normals who get soooo boring), the lack of decent looking uchis bc they're the best personality type, and jock characters in general because they're creepy as hell sometimes.

 

[nintendumb]

my biggest pet peeve is marshal. he's cool but idk why he has practically a cult following??? also the skin color thing is soooooo tru

Skin issue. Someone on this forum said that the question that Rover asks to determine your skin color would be, "Is there a lot of sun where you lived?"

aww snap I'm 2-4 on OP's list. Whoops. I love Jambette (assuming that's who you meant) and I'm not a time traveler unless you count occasionally adjusting my clock by an hour when I stay up late, and I don't "hate on" dupers or whatever, but I don't really see the point of it. -shrugs-

OKAY CAUGHT UP ON THE THREAD MOSTLY SO GONNA EDIT THIS.

1) Everyone has opinions about their favorite villagers. I love Goose, boyfriend wants him gone. Some villagers are more popular than others, and guess what? When you get a group of people together, there's a group mentality of fitting in. A lot of people get excited about hype and want to join in on the fun.

2) Sorry OP feels their religion is insulted by "The Church of Bob", but Christianity is not the only religion with a "church" around it, and it's a joke. Hell, I'm pagan, you know how much of a joke my religion is? Not to play the "I have it worse than you" game, but seriously...at least The Church of Bob is in good fun and not meant to insult you.

3) Yeah, skin tone thing needs to be changed. For representation, and even variety if you so choose. If I want to make a character of mine, it's kind of hard when she's black and I can only be white... (Mostly for representation, though, of course.)

4) I'm actually rather fond of Isabelle, hehe. I guess she never passed the threshold into annoying for me, because I still find her adorable. I wish I could interact with Digby more though, since I don't really get to StreetPass people. I want to know him beyond "that dog in the back I never talk to".

5) UGH YES WITH THE PUTTING THE TOOLS AWAY TO TALK. Muy annoying. I tend to put my tool away when I go to talk to a villager, lest I accidentally bump their feet with my shovel (which I've done a couple times, whoops). It would be much easier if I didn't have to put them away. I understand it's to keep a hand open for giving and receiving items, but at least reciprocate then and have my neighbor have to put theirs away too D:

6) Hnnnngh grass wearing away. I know that isn't strictly NL but it drives me crazy because I tend to run more often than not and it leaves dirt paths alongside my planned flower areas pfft. It's annoying and amusing at the same time, but mostly annoying. Especially when planting flowers in the areas never seems to help :/

Do NOT turn this into a religious argument. This is a pet peeves thread about the game ACNL and ACNL only. It's not about religion nor is it about the attitudes of other members of the Bell Tree. If you have a pet peeve about the GAME you can share but be respectful or you may wind up with a warning/infraction

Four items of note…

I don't recall having previously answered this, but?


My 'Animal Crossing: New Leaf' Pet Peeves

#01: No credit card. This absolutely stinks, given that there was one in "City Folk," and that is would be far more useful than often employed, alternative methods of tendering payment for villager adoptions.

#02: No zoning control. Why have a Mayor, a big concept, if he/she cannot exert control over where houses can be built? Also relevant to the issue given that it would be a nice feature to pay a fee (as the Mayor does for ordinances) to move Re-Tail Shop, the Police Station, The Roost Cafe, and even the Town Hall. (Only the Train Station should be unmovable.) It would also be nice to apply an incentive if one want to move a villager (like a free house upgrade to the villager). This would further broaden the Mayor's potential.

#03: Give villagers a second floor. Yes, let's have the first floor always kept in "original" condition. That the second floor would be for newer items. Free upgrade for second floor to villager if the Mayor wants to move the villager's housing location. Otherwise, villager pays for upgrading second house, which would go into funding the town (only to be used for Public Works Projects).

#04: Much more storage. Let's let The Roost Cafe house gyroids (as it did in "City Folk"; admittedly, I didn't play "Wild World"). And let's see the capacity go from A/B/C areas to A/B/C/D/E in locker space. Pocket space should be doubled. Two pages' worth of 16 pockets.

When villagers lecture you about how to switch tools easily and how to stack fruit. OH MY GOD JUST SHUT UP I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. Just irritates me so much ;~;

 

[aemohescuro]

I'm peeved that I can't put bushes near cliffs/rocks/ponds. Planting bushes is one of the few things I really look forward to, and there are times when I'll come up with a PERFECT design, but a rock diagonal to the bush will ruin it. It's very frustrating.

I also wish I didn't have to worry about villagers pinging THE VERY SECOND I get 9 or 10 villagers, or at least reduce to 16 villager cycle to like 8 or so. I don't mind it every so often, but I get really worried about time-travelling because I'm worried I'll lose a villager and never see them again.

Oooh I feel ya there. I placed my house near a little pond because I thought it was cute, but now that I have access to bushes, I wish I had the space to surround my house in blue hydrangeas. Ah well, I suppose I can settle for a couple less bushes...but it still makes me a little sad.

Hey bob is awesome -_-

 

[CR33P]

yea is racest and stupet

5. Not having a choice of skin color.
I am white, but frankly I find this to be quite raseist, lots of other skin colors play this game. And I am sure some feel like they..well..are not..welcome..?
One of my dearest friends is African American, and feels quite discriminated because of this.​

Animal Crossing is a Japanese game. Designed and developed by Japanese people. Who were likely born in Japan and have lived in Japan all of their life. Japanese people, who are notorious for their lighter skin colors due to the colder climate that Japan has, have made a game which features Japanese characters. These characters are Asian, not Caucasian.

As for my pet peeve, I can't stand Isabelle's excessive dialog when I can't put a PWP in a spot. They always need to be at least 3 billion light years away from that rock. F*** that rock.

 

[pocky]

I really only have three pet peeves.

Two being things that I only see in these forums:

- People wanting to dictate how others play their names (e.g: "TTers don't play the game how they're supposed 2!!1!!!!" , "Your villagers need to match uwu" , "WHY IS THAT VILLAGER IN UR TOWN???" , etc.)

- Those "Why is/are _______ so popular?" / "Why do people like _____?" threads. Doesn't matter if they're talking about a specific villager, town style, path, etc. I just can't stand those sorts of threads. Then again, this game probably has a young demographic and young people seem to go through those special snowflake phases so I try not to take it to heart.

My last pet peeve is with Nintendo:

- This game was released in 2013! Why aren't there any skin color options? Different skin colors are already implemented in the game... so why not give an option to choose which color you want? I'm hoping that they add new options for the new game. But I doubt that they will. Just look at Pokemon. They added the skin tone option for X/Y then took it out when ORAS came out. Their reasoning? "X/Y had a lot of customization because the game was based in France, which is a fashion capital." Umm... SKIN COLOR ISN'T A FASHION ELEMENT!

I hate going to the island then you catch so many fish and bugs and you have extra and you can't fit it in the box. Like what do I do? *cries*

I've had this problem before, but what I do is I just get rid of the bugs/fishes that sell for less bells. The only problem is when my entire basket is filled with Gold Stags and the Horned Hercules.

I can't think of any of my NL pet peeves at the moment.

ROCKS.
