You big, nasty smelling company.

Why would you make it impossible for villagers to catch fish / bugs, but then make them do it non-stop and even get upset when they miss a bug? The audacity... my child Prince didn't deserve that

This is probably a joke thread but the answer is because they didn't want them stealing bugs that the player wouldve been able to catch

tasha was SO CLOSE to catching a river fish yesterday, they have such bad luck lol

I know that's just good game design, but I'm willing to sacrifice my 20th long locust to make my child happy

ruby chased a butterfly around for like 5 minutes and got sad when she missed. ;w; so i caught it for her and gave it to her. no bug makes my ruby sad and retains their freedom >:c

Yeah I just want to see them win I have enough bugs and fish it won't steal my spotlight idcidc

yeah, i typically just catch the bug or fish they were going for and give it to them lol

 

[marea]

Yeah, but i would be mad if they caught the rare and good fishes, and especially if they got them before i did, so just limit them to clearing the ocean from all the sea bass and such XD

 

[Nefarious]

I get so sad seeing them run all over the place to catch a long locust only to miss.

Even if it's only to prevent villagers from stealing a player's catch, they take long enough that the player can capture the bug before the villager, even when sneaking. I want to clap when they get a win just like they do when they see me catching something successfully.

 

[Sloom]

it would be a lot of effort for pretty much nothing, but it's a real shame they can't catch extremely common / cheap bugs. like yeah it would be annoying if they stole our tarantulas and coelacanths but I can live without a common bluebottle.

it breaks my heart every time to see them trying so hard only to give up for no reason and start sighing :( adorable lil guys need more self-confidence

This was shockingly wholesome and refreshing

i watched whitney chase after a butterfly the other day with her whole heart......sweet baby no........please just leave it, don't put both of us through this pain....

I prefer to think that they only miss the bugs and fish they're after when I'm watching because it makes them nervous.

Otherwise they can have success if I'm not there.

kid cat is always chasing after bugs like baby p l e a s e you can’t catch it ;u;

I'll choose to believe this

This was my assumption, but once Antonio actually swung his net at an orchid mantis (and missed), scaring it away before I could swing mine. So if he’s allowed to mess it up for me, he might as well get to catch the bug himself!

 

[Selky]

I don't know what you're talking about. My villagers were able to catch some bugs and also showed them off. I thought everyone's did.
