Regarding players claiming their island is out of room

[absol]

I agree with the posters that say that it's a bit of a hassle
I think right now is a very special situation because people have way more time to play than under any normal circumstances so of course they already progressed and planned quite a lot

I'm totally up for a cafe building though I already tried to diy my own but it looks a bit whack

 

[Nefarious]

I do apologize that I've done something to bring negativity to belltree =( I meant no harm by creating this topic and was only doing so in order to harbor discussion between players and get some input from people who seemingly had no spare space on their islands. I'm someone who always has abundant space so I was just trying to learn from others. I am truly sorry for my curiosity >.<

You’re fine OP. It’s good to be curious on how others play their game, there’s no harm in that. The post was respectful imo. You just can’t fully predict where a thread will go. It just happens, there’s all kinds of different opinions and viewpoints on TbT and sometimes people clash. It’s no fault of you or your initial post.

Why should we give up on creativity and just line buildings up?

I already lined up all buildings in the game. I hated it. And no longer do it

I crammed all villager homes as close together as I could in a neighborhood. I hate it, and I'm currently moving away from it.

I advise you to look up town tours on YouTube so you can get an idea of what some of us are doing with our limited space. Some people have designed beautiful islands leaving no room for additional stuff.

I don’t think people are saying it’s a bad thing, more like expressing their sentiments why it can impede/affect their experience. I don’t think it’s fair you’re sticking labels on people like “lazy” or “ridiculous” because you perceive it as such when to someone else it can suck to move their layouts around because they spent hours creating it and they’ve gotten attached or it disrupts the flow of their island, etc. Just say you don’t understand rather than labeling people, it doesn’t hurt to be kinder and extend a little empathy. You are allowed to express your opinions and they’re valid but being unkind is not the way to go.

Sorry I just don’t get it. I’ve not said anything overly harsh, I’ve said I think it’s ridiculous that someone wouldn’t want new content for a life sim that’s been out a month because they’re already done and called that lazy, which it is. I’m not sure how anyone can defend that. Surely if you don’t want to adapt your Island over time this isn’t the game for you? Who can seriously think they’ve done all there is to do after a month and not want new content?

If I’d have called people morons or whatever I’d say fair enough I was out of line but I didn’t, I didn’t call on anyone personally or anything, I just expressed my opinion, said how I feel and because it’s against the grain (certain) people don’t like it. If I’ve offended anyone by expressing my opinion I apologise.

I mean, if you have three or four players sharing your island, your town is gonna fill up FAST. Unless you like the look of every building being only one tile apart.

for me, I planned things very carefully and a HUGE chunk of my empty space is filled with breeding flowers. I had lots of ideas for outdoor scenes I wanted to decorate and would be bummed to lose that outdoor space. Plus I planned things for all the buildings to be on the main level and outdoor areas on the cliffs, so I couldn’t add new buildings without altering that paradigm or removing cliffs.

I can understand not wanting your careful planning to go out the window the second they add new buildings, especially since some of them do seem mandatory. If you were really precise with planning like I was, there might be enough empty tiles for new buildings, but it would take a LOT of rearranging (and therefore bells) to actually get the building in a pleasing location.

And fwiw, I was never a fan of the dream suite, but apparently I’m the only one who felt that way lol.

I was never a fan of Dream Suite either, lol. I mean, I liked the feature, I just didn't use it much. I enjoyed watching other people visit cool islands on YT, is what I mean, lmao

 

[Sudsofsplash]

I think it would be nice that either moving buildings were cheaper or easier (If you don't TT, then you have to wait one day for every single building) Like honestly I can think of a few places I could put a couple buildings but I'd have to do a lot of landscaping to make them fit lol

 

[AccfSally]

I don't mind the new buildings, I really don't have a problem moving things around (my town really isn't no where near done)..but I wish Nintendo could at least lower the moving prices.

Not a fan either. The only thing I liked about the Dream Suite was being able to visit my old town after starting new one. The Dream Suite was poorly executed because we couldn't see what players did with their museum showcases.

And let us move multiple buildings per day, and move buildings a few spaces from where it is. Also wouldn't hurt to let us move bridges and inclines

 

[Skunk]

I don't understand people complaining about having to re-plan and rebuild, that is kind of the point of the game, especially this early on. you should have anticipated updates that would bring more to the game that'd require you to rethink of what you wanna do and where you'd wanna put things, terraforming is in the game so you can make whatever you want w/ your island whenever you want. So readjusting/adapting to new additions is part of the whole deal. You weren't supposed to finish your island this early anyways, its impressive sure, but what are you to do now? with a perfect layout, all your dream villagers. Seriously, what else is there to do for you? collect recipes, or items for your catalog i could see, but there is no way everyone wants to 100% their catalogs or recipe books... shouldn't you be happy they are adding more, so you can do more in game??

They could reduce fees to 30k for all buildings, and maybe let us move 2 or 3 a day, that'd probably help a lot more people be accepting of having to replan.

I just don't understand complaining about possible new content, for a game that's been out a month. lmao.

Edit: I actually feel like my island is too big, and I wish I could have more NPC shops (Kicks' Shampoodle!) I would also love more villagers, my island is massive and feels lonely sometimes.

 

[Michelangelo]

Trust the process, guys. After all, rearranging and reconstructing gives players more reason to play, right? The beauty of this installment of AC is unimaginable flexibility we didn't have before. Cliff building and river making can allow us more space if we need it, rocks can be moved, and trees can be uprooted and planted somewhere else easily. If there are more buildings coming, I'm sure there are ways they can be worked in to the island layout.

Rome wasn't built in a day!

 

[elphieluvr]

Yeah, I definitely would be less upset about having to replan if it wasn’t so expensive and so slow lol. Of course I want new content, and of course I don’t consider myself done this early on. It’s just frustrating since it takes literally weeks to move all the buildings in town.

Also, it is likely that the current stuck at home for weeks on end and spending 6-8 hours a day working on my island is probably contributing to my crankiness on this matter and in general lmao.

yeah, it's not that we don't want new content? it's just going to be very difficult for some of us to reconfigure our layouts. that doesn't mean we're against new content altogether. i would love a dream suite and cafe...it's just going to be frustrating placing them.

I don't agree with this for the reasons I've mentioned previously in this thread. But I wanted to point out that, even though I'm not a fan of many builds, that doesn't mean I'm not a fan of new content. I'm a huge fan of new content, but that new content might as well be presented in different ways: more visitors, new islands (a la Harvey) or simply, extentions of current buildings.

I also want to point out that, and I speak for myself obviously, but Animal Crossing is way more than that. I've played every AC in the series and have spent years and logged hundreds of hours into them, and those games had way less features than NH. Consider that.

lmao this really got me

I’m one of those people who hates to put down a lot of stuff in their town. At this point I’m planning on just filling it with a bunch of junk to get the five star rating and then scaling it back a ton. But as others have said if you’re really into terraforming or decorating without thinking of the utility of the space, it can be pretty easy to run out of room.

Personally I think it’s likely the Dream Suite may go to its own island, and if Katrina is ever introduced, I think she’ll be a random visitor again. Both Kicks and Label might be part of some sort of Able Sisters’ upgrade in the future (this might be just my imagination, though), with Leif going back to the Nooklings’ shop, so I don’t think there’ll be a ton of extra buildings added to the island. We’ll see, though. Nintendo might make me eat crow here.

 

[thelonewanderer]

I had to make a thread about this because it absolutely stuns me to hear people complaining about the possibility of more buildings being added. " I hope the dream suite is a separate island like harveys", "I want the cafe and gift shop to be part of the museum," "etc." If you were to put every building side-by-side and attempt to keep them as close together as possible, I don't think it would even take up 10% of your island space. I understand that everyone has various decorating styles, but what are you guys putting on your islands that is taking up 90% of it's space, aside from buildings, to the point you don't even want nintendo to release new facilities?

I've tried to think of kinder ways to word the above, but I fear I couldn't, so I apologize if it sounded harsh. I'm not hating on anyone, just super surprised and would love to hear input from you guys.

(As we sadly have to state these days, this is not a thread for bashing others based on their playstyle or decorating style. )

Mairen!

I just woke up and saw this thread and it makes me soooo happy! Because I was going to make this exact thread tomorrow (waiting for the heat to die down) but it wouldn’t have sounded anywhere as nice as your. My title would be “Why do people complain about having more things”? I don’t do it to cause controversy/conflict or have any bad intent, it just I write how I would talk. I guess I’m just really blunt. It's quite unique (writing like I’m talking to you) and it would not have ended anywhere as well as this thread has since no one can see my tone or facial expression.

That a whole weight off my shoulder as this was a thread I had to make because it absolutely just blew my mind. On my post and other people's posts, it just boggles my mind. It makes me wonder if half of us are playing a different game? Now I can check mark this thread and continue on my list! You have a way with words that help people with a civil discussion while I seem to only be able to stir people up. Even just from your title, I knew exactly what this title is without having to be as blunt as my post usually is. This honestly made my day!

I now sort of understand why some people are against it...but I don’t fully understand since I would be shocked if New Horizon had less building than New Leaf when it is all said and done. The map is bigger but only slightly. New buildings will make me oh so happy! With that said, I will have a thread tomorrow about what those are!

Despite being nowhere close to finished (I'm in the middle of moving all buildings to the beach and destroying everything to start from scratch because I hated how things were turning out TT^TT), I can definitely understand the feeling of not enough space!

I'm planning on having 8 player houses despite not having a clue how to fit all of them in (I should really give up on this, but I'm stubborn...) And now that the island's empty, it feels surprisingly small! So I really feel for those who've already planned out/finished their entire island and aren't sure where these buildings could possibly go! Especially if they're going for a natural look (I already had to give up on this OTL)

However, I'd really, really like to have more buildings! And I'd be disappointed if certain ones (like the Cafe) were combined with existing buildings. I'm really bad at this design thing, but having more facilities to use as a starting point to decorate around would really help me ^^

So while I feel bad for the people that will need to redesign, I'm hoping we get at least a couple new buildings. I really wish there was a way to compromise, but I don't think Nintendo will give that option ;~;

 

[Lotusblossom]

I wish I didn't have to make neighborhoods.. I feel like the amount of space I want for my own house takes up one fourth of the map... then I have my friend sharing an island with me theres I'd like the take up almost one fourth of the map also then the hybrid garden takes up another fourth of the map so I'm squeezing all the buildings together and three blocks apart is too much but I wish instead each of the villagers houses could have more room as well.. where am I gonna put the forest? No room for that... I would love if each house could have it's own extravagant and unique landscaping but that would take up the whole island.. it's just not realistic for the size of the map...even some of the beaches I cant fit houses on... I think certainly the map is much too small and seems childish but then again this game is childish and cant expect too much I suppose.. I think its kindve completely unfair to make people completely rebuild there whole island for an update ... seriously this all should be included and known so people can properly plan things and play and not waste there time

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I have absolutely no idea how people are running out of space??? I gave each and every one of my villagers their own yard, fences, furniture, and everything. My house also has it's own yard, own pond, fences, etc. I've got an outdoor spa, a romantic little seating area near the lighthouse, a playground, two extra ponds, a few other purely decorative aspects on my island.. And I still have ample room. I can easily fit in 2-3 new buildings.

I think people don't realize just how much room they really have. Or they are really, really spacing out their buildings by a lot.

Man, it would break my heart if the cafe were made to be in the museum. I am looking forward to it's addition so much

I can see why people are getting annoyed by this rumor of more stuff needing more space. It was tedious moving all the villager homes and shops to where I wanted them. Landscaping alone is such a tedious process. If you don't think it is you have too much free time. I have a lot of room but I can see where some are getting at when they have completed towns that are very beautiful and they got to tear it apart for the roost, kicks shop, whatever.

It's not lazy when moving homes/shops takes 50,000 each and you have to wait (or TT) 1 day for each buidling to be moved somewehre. And it will probably be the beach to accommodate room first and then moved to where it needs to be. That is a bell and time sink right there.

And then they might have to redo the landscaping. Another time sink. Just because you guys haven't finished your villages yet doesn't mean others haven't. I am no where near complete because I work double shifts a lot of days due to Covid-19. So if someone is upset with this they have a right to be upset.
