Sunrise is the prettiest imo but I'm never up to see it (max staying up to 4-5 am), sunset is amazing though as well. I also love it when stars dot the sky
I have never played early in the morning, so I can't really speak to what that's like. But I love the 6:30 - 7:00 period, the sun is setting, and they did a great job with the "golden hour"!!! I love the lighting adjustments in this game, they really did make some great choices! I hear early morning is pretty, too. Gonna have to check into that.
My favorite time is just before sunrise. About 4:30 to 5:30 AM. The sky is so pretty, and the clouds are gorgeous when there's a light cloud cover. I am surprised I don't have a screenshot of it. I'll have to take one when I play at that time again.
I love the night, the best times are when it's mostly clear with a few clouds and I can see the stars in the sky, it's beautiful hues of blue and purple always impress me. It's very pretty and meteor showers enhance it's beauty a lot!
I really want to see early morning in AC since that's my favorite time irl, but in AC it's definitely evening. Everything starts to slow down and it's so peaceful
I am torn between the clear night and evening but in the end I choose evening. To me, I rarely play during evening, so once in a while when I saw it, it is very refreshing and the evening sky is gorgeous. My villagers also seemed to have a shade of the evening sky and it makes them look more gentle.
I love Mid-Day. The sun is the brightest and makes the water a beautiful bright blue. Due to my schedule, I don't get to play during this time frame often, but when I do, I greatly enjoy it.
However, I also absolutely love the stars on a clear night. Those nights are just as beautiful!
