Regarding players claiming their island is out of room

[Zura]

Well I built ankha an entire castle for a backyard so idk what's taking up all my space hmmm

 

[Skunk]

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.

I just see lots of people complain (not in this thread specifically, but i mean in general on other forums etc.) about time they will have to put into the game for redoing areas for new buildings etc. and that's what i was talking about. I put 3000+ hours into New leaf before i stopped playing regularly, so I don't rlly understand people being against time itll take to get stuff done? Youre supposed to play this game for a while thats what nintendo plans for the game, and why many updates are to come!

Oh, okay, I think I get your point more now. Yeah, I personally don't mind putting in more hours. I guess what I was trying to say was that, even if we don't have more builds to place (or to decorate the island with), the game doesn't end there.

a lot of us have designated "neighborhoods" for things. i have a shopping centre, two housing neighborhoods, my mountain/forest area, and then some space i'm still working on. the problem is that we've already laid out these areas, so with new buildings we would have to spend a lot of time and bells moving everything around to put them cleanly in the areas we want them to be in.

100% this. This is why I'll be upset if they decide to add more buildings.

I have a designated shopping plaza with the Nook Shop, Able Sisters, with the Museum behind it. If they add other "utility" stores that belong in that area, I'll literally have to spend HOURS remapping everything and possibly moving buildings entirely. I'm not a time traveler so that may take a matter of days to complete if I need to move EVERYTHING in that area around, including deleting inclines leading to my museum.

I have enough room on my island for more buildings, HOWEVER I do not have any room left in my market square area to have other buildings.

Yeah, I wasn't implying the game "ends", just kind of mean everyone seems more involved in decorating in this title than all the other things you can do (totally understand why!). and those people don't really seem interested in other aspects of what AC can offer!!

 

[trashpedia]

I’m still not done with my island and here’s still patches of undeveloped land on my island so I wouldn’t mind a few more buildings. However, I do understand this is going to be a massive pain for anyone who has a really elaborate island layout and had everything planned out since the beginning of the game.

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.

totally get this. it just seems counterintuitive to complain about free content though, especially when theres complaints of the game being unfinished. ofc people here should be able to complain about redoing hard work being put in their island, but also, the nature of the game isnt to complete it one month of release. continued updates are the norm and are expected at this point.

if thats what you want to do with your island go ahead, just dont be surprised if nintendo rolls out new content from something as small as new flower species and hybrids to a brand new building

 

[thelonewanderer]

I will make a thread tomorrow about what buildings I would like to see add to the game. But if anyone knows me, and most here probably do, I want lots and lots of buildings just like I want lots and lots of villagers! I want New Horizon to bring the Switch to its limit!

3-4 new buildings would be good, but I want 14 to 20 more buildings! Of course a map that is 3 to 4 times that off the current map! Just thinking about it gets me so excited...not that it will happen...of course.

My island of course is perfect for any change Nintendo makes. It's using a fantasy/natural layout and while every cliff is individually crafted, I welcome any new additions to this game. I do have a different location set but these locations are more fantasy driven then most people. I can accommodate as many buildings/villagers as Nintendo throws at me. Just thinking of the possibilities brings me absolute joy!

I think it's been stressed enough that no one's complaining about new content, but rather a substantial amount of standalone builds. New content is absolutely welcomed. And hey, you won't see me rushing to Nintendo to complain about buildings, but I'd rather have new content in other ways than a bunch of builds.

 

[Xara]

i think people’s issue is the fact that they’re planning neighbourhoods and huge yards for their villagers as well as designated spots on their island such as farmers markets/cafes/etc which take up a bit of space.

i’m not opposed to new buildings at all - if anything, i want them. the only thing i want is for the museum gift shop to be inside of the museum, as i see no reason for it not to be.

100% agree with this... The museum shop was INSIDE the museum in the previous game. What's the issue here? I don't get how it can be possible to have the museum and then the museum shop on two opposite ends of the island lol

 

[Lotusblossom]

More island space = more room for creativity

 

[KeatAlex]

I have created so much! Including giving my Villagers a generous front yard and my house also has a very generous yard. and I still have TONS of space left. It's space management. I welcome any new buildings!

 

[starlightsong]

I mean, I don't really have a whole lot to say on this topic because I'm still doing a lot of work on my island and may be able to fit another building or two just fine--though I can understand people feeling cramped and not wanting many more buildings to be added if they've been planning a lot of dedicated areas out that take up lots of space--but what baffles me is even the concept of a museum gift shop being a separate building from the museum at all. That would only make sense to me if they're literally attached and you can't move the shop to the other side of the island or something. Also, the cafe only got its own building in NL and was always in the basement of the museum before, so I just think going back to that would be cute and would make sense for a game that doesn't have a main street where most of the shops go like NL did! Besides, I thought that was what the initial datamines of the door data indicated, so it confuses me to see the latest datamines saying they're separate.

Edit: Also wanna add that some people are being forced to share their island with family members due to the one island per console decision and their inability to shell out 360+ dollars for another switch and another copy of the game. My dad and brother are on my island until the crazy prices people are charging for non-lites right now go back to normal (or stores get more in because they're out of stock everywhere here), and it's really impeding my ability to do everything I wanna do because not only do those extra player spaces take up a lot of room and go in places of their choosing instead of mine, but I was hoping to have another character of my own because I had decorating ideas that could only be done with another character. If I do that I'll have 4 player houses on my island and that fills the space quickly.

 

[Mello]

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?

You were curious about what we wasted our space on. Hopefully this gives you an idea. I'm sure there are plenty of people with extremely busy islands out there. Still under heavy construction, but the space goes quickly.

Oh goodness me! Can I visit sometime?

What is the overall theme of your island if you have one?

"I have used up a lot of my island space, I can't have more shops!"
Me: *laughs in 5-star mess with empty space*

 

[Mint]

I'm fine with new buildings. When I made a designated area for shops, I made sure to leave space in case more buildings were added in.

And if that area runs out of space, I have an empty section that I can move the shopping area to if needed.

 

[ParabolaBeam]

Maybe this wouldn't be such a problem if you didn't have to pay 50,000 bells TWICE just to move something over a space or two.

This is my big problem too. It counts the building you're moving as...an obstacle that the building itself can't be placed over.
