Things you wish could be changed/ brought back/added in the next Animal Crossing?

More diverse villager interactions! I'm bored of hearing the same things over and over. Especially when you have more than one of a type and end up having the same conversation twice in one day D:
Also the ability to distinguish permanent residents, and to dictate the town "open" or "closed" to random move ins, streetpass villagers, etc. I don't want a full ten residents but it's always a gamble when I take my 3ds out to Streetpass with less than ten.
Better item placement (HHD looks like it's fixed this, but especially in regards to PWP/house placement)
And I kind of hope (but know won't happen) that they tweak the character design; I hate most of the eye options save one, and I wish we could change our noses.

Yeah, like most of you guys said I'd also like more PWP options and placements as well. Maybe turn them sideways or diagonal as well? I'd like that at least. I also wish that there were more ordinances to pick from, or that once you get a perfect town you can expand your town size/villager limit. Maybe enacting a second ordinance could also be a perfect town only unlockable?

-Choose where villager houses go. Plot resetting is such a chore and I usually give up after about an hour.
-In regards to perfect fruit, I think it would be cool if you can actually get ALL perfect fruit in your town if you bury them with the golden shovel.

Personally I would like:
- More house customization like in HHD (like hanging things on the ceiling and having a backyard and adding things to it).
- More house exteriors.
- options to move or place villagers' houses
- Having an official way to have villagers stay rather than worrying that they'll leave if you don't play for too long.
- a bigger map, along with more intractable buildings and npcs (like a hospital, school, ect).

I'd like more events! The events in New Leaf is pretty toned down I think. Wild World had a lot of unique and cute events.
Oh and I'd love to have an option to "freeze" the game. So I could take longer breaks from playing without villagers moving out etc.

Bump! BTW I totally agree with the last two or three comments; I stopped playing for a while and lost some of my buddies :-(

I want the option to ask Isabelle who is planning on moving out of town, rather than having to hunt all around town trying to figure it out myself. It could be an option at her desk - just click an option that says 'Moving?' and she could say something like, "No villagers are planning on moving." or "Olivia is planning on leaving the 20th." It would make the game much less stressful for me!
I also want the ability to choose where villagers will put their houses. Perhaps the day that a villager decides to move in, Isabelle, Tom Nook and the player could all wait at the train for them to arrive. If you didn't like the villager, you could tell them wrong town. If you did, you could take them around town with Tom Nook and decide where they should live.
I hope the ability to decorate villagers houses comes back for the next game. I hate how much junk accumulates in their houses now. Felicity's house is an absolute disaster, so the option to change her furniture would be a huge relief.

More personalities! I want at least 16 of them to be completely honest... even though that would be a lot of work for the developers 
Also, wouldn't it be cool to have say... a few female jocks? Some male snooties? Personalities shouldn't be gender-restricted!

Being able to live in a town with other people over the internet could be super cool. Also, being able to place certain furniture items outside your house would be nice. Being able to customise your character without those stupid Rover questions, being able to design pants and shoes, and more variety to what the villagers say would be nice, sending someone a witty letter with a nice present and just getting a generic reply back is annoying. Villagers with the same personality types saying the same thing really irritates me. Just some idea, doubt they'll ever be added though.

I'd like for the ability to have 15 villagers instead of 10. I also really wish dialogue could be customized depending on which character you're talking to. For instance, Flurry could talk about her love for snow and cooking, while Merengue could talk about her love for sweets!
More options for how to arrange your town layout would be nice. Being able to have several villagers live in a single lot of houses like the player had in the original game. As would being able to actually create your own paved pathways with various pavements. Yards for every character, and a larger town to accompany it.
A return to the camera perspective of the original game. I never played the Wii title so I don't know if it had a similar camera perspective, but I really preferred that. There's a lot of things from the original town I would like back, a cliff through the center of town. A more detailed coast would be interesting, have the terrain turn a bit rocky and having a few pools of water that you could even explore for some sealife that didn't require full-on diving.
A larger number of conversation possibilities with villagers would be nice. They just don't say as many things as it feels like they once did... I'd like the same for Blathers too, with the option to have him speak more tersely if not everyone wants to hear what he's got to say.
I really miss a lot of things about the older games obviously, but ACNL has a lot of ease-of-life bits and bobs and outright upgrades that make me not fire up my old GC.

While I do agree with most of these, like the Moving? option by Twisterheart, I think that the whole choosing where they live is a bit pushy. Yeah, its a game, but would you wanna be forced to live in a certain area? I wouldn't. Maybe you can suggest something to them. Like "hey, thats a nice house. Why not take a look at it?"
Oh I’ve written about this before, but now I have even more to say, so brace yourselves.
*cracks knuckles* *clears throat*
1) More than 10 villagers per town.
1a) NL is the first AC game I’ve played, so bring back the other villagers!
1b) More villager designs & use those awesome templates you already have-owls, sea otters, turtles, kittens…
1c) Interactions - make them more diverse, they look different, but having four normals in a town is a bit boing. Same with the nonvillagers; Reece & the rest say the same things. Every. Time.
1d) Why can’t I initiate a trade/game/sale with villagers…I’m the Mayor, but I can’t even do that.
1e) Have them react to certain things you type in. Like ‘I hate you’ will make nearby villagers cry & lower your friendship.
1f) Why do villagers have those signposts in front of their houses…with scribbles on them? I mean, make them look pretty or something.
1g) Favoriting villagers that you don’t want to move, so they can’t.
2) A separate wallet in addition to being able to carry 99k bags.
3) PWPs - only certain personalites can request certain ones. Bleh.
3a) Customize PWPs - blue lighthouses, golden fountains, black towers…
3b) Have no limit to how many PWPs you can build, excluding special buildings.
3c) Let us build on the beach.
4) Town - let us pan the camera around like we can in houses! (Sheesh, I would have thought that was a no-brainer)
4a) Pick when the hourly town tunes play. I’d love to here ‘2am’ more than I do.
4b) More options for plants outside! Orchids, strawberries, vines, cacti, moss…
5) House - curtains, blinds…we have windows…so let us decorate them. Oh I love the ceiling things/chandeliers I’m seeing in HHA. & the outdoor furniture & PICKING PLOTS! YES! YES!
5a) Why is there a room limit? We can always go vertical…up or down. How easy would it be to have 100 basements? lolololol
5b) Item limit…if I want a room full to bursting, then that’s my room; I paid for it, after all.
6) Fix the shadow that appears on the river when you walk over a bridge.
7) Whenever you buy from the Able Sisters, let’s have no remarks about what freaking gender the clothes are! They are just clothes!
8) Every. time. you. buy. wrapping paper, fortune cookies, etc they have to ask you if you want a tutorial. They should structure Timmy & Tommy to be like the island gyroid, where one of the options when you speak to them is to ‘how to use ~’. Please.
9) A ‘select all’ option with mail & your items, especially at Re-Tail.
10) LABELS. I’m tired of walking over/ poking every freaking leaf just to read what it is! PLEASE implement some sort of customizeable color coding, lettering, SOMETHING!
11) Island. It’s tropical, but what if there were also a mountain island, a frozen island…like the Safari Zones in Pokemon HGSS, lol.
12) Speaking of pokemon…why are there no pokedolls or pokemon furniture? We have clothes in those games now & Dream World had those customizeable houses & room *wink wink*, but those dolls were the best!
13) Coffee. I abhor it, so can you serve/make tea or smoothies, too? I know it’s a game, but ugh.
14) You can get many pics, but there are several you cannot. Isabelle, everyone on mainstreet, JACK, PASCAL!
15) More QR code spaces.
