A dung beetle ruined my snow boy! I had almost finished rolling the head and the body just started rolling towards me. I tried moving away but they popped together! "Sooo close!" Ugh!

When I reset the snowballs were gone

Ok nevermind, they respawned somewhere else. Still, that was so frustrating lollll

Batch Crafting. I want Batch Crafting. For one or two things I don't mind several clicks per item, but when I'm making fish bait en masse? Good grief, a button saying I just want to turn all ten clams into bait would be a welcome sight.

They did that in NL and probably before that as well. I remember one time I was on the beach collecting shells when Lolly pushed a snowball off the cliff and down on to the beach where I was.

Noon’s cranny exterior and space requirement. I only found out when I wanted to move its location, but nook’s cranny takes up the same space as the museum! But you can only buy like 5 items from the shop max daily, so it’s an enormous waste to have such a large space requirement. I feel like Nintendo plans on introducing more shop upgrades in future releases, but it doesn’t come out fast enough. On top that, can we PLEASE have the option to customize shop exteriors?

Another thing that really annoys me is the breakable tools. I mean, come on... why do the developers think it’s a good idea? When I see a butterfly that I really wanna catch, but just after one miscalculated swing my net breaks... it is the most indescribable feeling of frustration ever in the game. At least they could’ve have made the golden tools unbreakable so those of us who don’t like to craft tools can finally have a break. (No pun intended)

I was bothered by this too and have come to understand now that a "perfect" snowboy will give one large snowflake per day until it melts in four days ... so technically after four days of making a perfect snowboy every day we will be able to collect four large per day. It still sucks given the ice scenes I wanted to start working on but it's better than the one a day I thought.

What I thought was true above turned out to be false - our day(s) old snowboys are only giving a large flake to it's creator.

The shared island penalty lives on... grrr

I am halfway through putting my catalog on the Animal Crossing app that I like to use. Wow! I didn't realize there were so many variations of furniture! Looking at it all, we really do have a large amount of furniture. I feel like if the islands were not color locked to normal furniture variations, it would feel like we have more options.

I could understand color-locking the NMT furniture to encourage trading, but there is so much on here that I don't understand why the developers decided to color-lock normal furniture. It would feel so much better if we could see all of these different color variations in Nook's Cranny.

I once read on here that flowers in this game are more annoying than weeds...

They are! I wish we could just pluck them rather than have to dig them up, fill up the hole and use up a tool use.

Also if it keeps snowing as often as it does I'll probably be forced to spend a couple hours putting down transparent patterns. If I have to spend so much time and pocket space cleaning them I'll be less inclined to log in for the day

I agree, and I don't even have that many flowers, the constant upkeep especially in the snow, is getting tedious.

I hate it too, it's very annoying. And it doesn't encourage trading, it forces it, which is unfair and imo one of the things that shouldn't have been changed from previous games. I don't understand why they made so many annoying changes that the game would have been better without.

Does anyone else have an issue with always running out of gold ornaments? It might just be the order that I got my DIYs but after a lot of tree shaking and crafting a bunch of DIYs from balloons I currently have 1 gold and 20 red. I'm not sure if it's a spawn thing or if the DIYs I made just required lots of gold ones. At least this is easier than acorns and pinecones though!

I'm holding out hope that one of the new Nook's Cranny upgrades will provide all colors for furniture.

I still highly disagree with color locking Nook Miles furniture.

Welp, there's a wreath glitch going on because of the new update! Villagers can no longer hang wreaths on their doors, it seems

Hope they will fix this soon.

Yes exactly! I think they did this so more people (especially collectors) are kind of forced to spend money on a nintendo online subscription. It is pretty icky imo. I feel like people who bought the game and don't want to play online should be able to have access to just as many things as people who do have an online subscription. Or even if you do have an online subscription, you should at least just have the option to collect different colors of things on your own if you want to. Sometimes it's incredibly anxiety provoking for people to trade online with people they don't know just to get another color of something.

Instead of color variations how about actual new furniture. :-/

NEW LEAF items please.

I'm sick of the two sofas.

 

[Xane_MM]

NEW LEAF items please.

Agreed. I've noticed in screenshots that some of New Horizons' stuff came from New Leaf, so why not bring everything from New Leaf to this game?

That'd bring the Nintendo items with it, so I could have Peach's parasol/umbrella, so I'd like that too!

Oh, and they need to let people hold umbrellas indoors like wands (and to go with that, let humans and villagers hold wands like Reese did during Wedding Season at Harv's Island). If Peach's cute parasol does return to New Horizons, I'd like to get nice indoor shots which would be impossible if it continues to only allow umbrellas outdoors.

I. Hate. Campsite. Games.

Lopez, darling, please just move in

I wish there was some sort of skill to them at least?? The random guessing is making my blood boil. There’s no pattern to the choices (at least not that I can see?) and it takes forever to even ask them to move in! Lopez was just rambling about whatever for a while and now he keeps wanting to play games for clothes. This is so frustrating

You don't have to win, just keep talking to them and playing, and in a couple minutes, they will agree to move in.


I hate that it takes 3 days to convinced an Amiibo camper to move in, when random campers agree to move in on on the same day you meet them.

I was talking to him for ages and every time he’d say “maybe I should move here...” he’d then say it was up to the fates to decide and we should play for it he did that three or four times before finally saying he’d move in only to want to kick out Egbert. The Campsite is just mocking me lol.

That sounds really frustrating about the amiibo villagers though! I haven’t tried to move in any amiibo villagers and now I’m glad I haven’t

Must all be random then.

I just always pick the first option (red or hearts iirc). But, yes, it’s a pain to go through. I did have one camper give up on my guessing abilities and just go talk to Isabelle.

i had to give up today because of the snowboys. first i had to get rid of my campsite area to get snowballs to spawn, and then no matter what i did they wouldnt stack!! i had the perfect ratio but then because they wouldnt go together it ruined it and the snowboy taunted me with "i was almost perfect." yeah buddy, i know :/
