Two sub-types of each personality?

[galactickat4240]

I realized that people are starting to respond to this thread with what their villagers are doing to see if they correspond to a subtype so I wanted to do it too!

Buck, the resident jock, I often notice him working out and asking me about muscles. He often gives out self-care tips and workout tips so he is big on working out.

Pashmina, my current sisterly villager, I notice her singing all the time, she talks to me a LOT about her life back in the country before she moved to the island, she also is a bit sassy but sisterly and cares about you. I had Plucky as well, before she left I often found her airplane running. I never remembered her too much being mean.

Bruce, a cranky, I often find him observing flowers and lazing about, but I haven't observed his behavior too much. Same with Kabuki, my other cranky. I should observe their behaviors more.

Apple talks about television and being a popstar, but she's sweet much like her name. I find her working out and doing yoga! Annabelle talks about some of the same tthings Apple does but is less about the popstar thing I think? Much like Apple, she works out and does yoga.

Velma, my only snooty at the moment seems really sweet, maybe with a hint of sassy. She never talks about fashion too much unless she's at my Able's and I often find her using her magnifying glass (inquisitive!) and reading, I find her at the museum often times when I look for her. She excersizes a lot too, found her singing once.

Ken, is a reserved smug that I often find him talking in other languages "Buonguiorno!" and talking about showbiz. He hasn't been too flirty from my experiences?

Marina sings all the time and is really sweet if not a bit introverted? She is a sweet/normal villager, and sweet she is.

Zucker, a lazy villager, he acts like a kid and brings up the bugs in his floor and what he wants to eat.

I have a bunch of Normal type villagers and I noticed they do a bunch of different things during their daily lives. I see Bea working out and sitting under trees (doing nothing) fairly often, as well as eating. Marina (Who's moving out today. Bye bye, Marina!) loved to follow butterflies and sing. I haven't seen Megan sing at all, but she does like to take strolls around the island and get mad at other villagers for spoiling a book for her. Whoops. When I had Renee, a sisterly villager, all I ever saw her do was sing. CONSTANTLY.

Are you guys up to date on the datamined NpcParam stuff?

Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...I6el2mmaIxi6oFVVDQKqbn03E/edit#gid=1857944009

The two sub-personalities are definitely in the game. The data is indexed under _9eea1288 - "interests" has been appended to the column to make it easy to see. I am not personally sure if the sub-types relate to dialogue changes- I read someone saying that there are split paths relating to personality somewhere in the dialogue, but what we know pretty much for sure right now is that the sub-personalities define their hobbies. There are two per personality type.

My experiences with my villagers definitely hold up with the ingame data. How about yours?

That's really interesting, but I'm having a hard time interpreting the data. Is _04f52f6a another personality subtype? And _bea84522 I'm guessing is how they react to the player? Got no clue what _0e7ab6a6 would be haha

There aren't definitive answers for everything in the sheet yet- it is a complete read-out of all of the data associated with individual villagers, so there are still questions to answer. I don't think anybody's sure about what _bea84522 is quite yet, someone said it might be accessory related, because all of the characters with helmets (Big Top, Kid Cat, Agent S) are labelled avoid, but I'm not sure myself and that is still 100% just a theory.

_04f52f6a is just the long-form personality type- Cranky is defined in the game as Boy_pride, Snooty is defined in the game as Girl_pride, Smug is defined in the game as Boy_snobby, and so on.

I started writing a big thing about my villager dialogue and saw this. This looks more like what their gift preferences are than anything...? And I guess the interests tab is just what idle animations they trend towards. I mean the idle animations are cute, but I was hoping sub personalities would actually affect how they interact with you in some way instead of just being aesthetic :/

Aibo, where is the best place to see datamined info and people's interpretations of it?

This is really interesting to look at! Thank you for sharing this

Sprocket my only jock is obsessed with muscles. He always tells me if I do something nice 'that was muscular of you!' Strangely, I've never actually seen him working out. Every conversation is about exercise.

Pashmina my only uchi is a bit of a stinker. Even though she was the first one the game considered my best friend, she still tells me after like 2 conversations 'wow, do we need a bigger island? I've seen you too many times today' She likes singing and dancing to the radio inside her house.

Peaches my only normal is pretty boring. She's always investigating trees or flowers, with the occasional workout sprinkled in. Our conversations are mainly one-liners about what foods her dad used to cook. She also really likes plopping down in the middle of the ground (or on the dock, when I'm at the very end, trapping me there)

Wade my only lazy talks about the dreaded bugs in the floor. He seems to like bugs in general though since he's by far the one I see roaming around with a net the most.

Huck one of my two smugs is a bit smarmier than Zell. He seems a little more self-absorbed and I've caught him making fun of other villagers, which he then tries to rope me into. He's also obsessed with being an actor.

Zell my other smug is a little more chill. He's friendlier with other villagers, and he's got a bit more of an eye for fanciness and elegance. He sings a lot, usually while sitting next to the river. He also enjoys sweeping, mostly on the beach. He talks to me about writing manuscripts.

Freya one of my two snooties is pretty mean at times tbh. She's had quite a few arguments with other villagers (although sometimes other villagers like Huck start the argument, she usually finishes them). She does yoga a lot, and I see her roaming around with reading glasses on.

Judy is my other snooty and she kinda seems more 'oh well bless your heart' southern lady-ish. I find her in the bug section of the museum a lot, and she usually sings or does yoga. She's never really been in a fight with other villagers.

Bianca my only peppy airplane runs a lot. She was at it for like three hours today. I also catch her lifting weights a lot. Like Bubbles, who I used to have, she wants to be a pop star. Unlike Bubbles, she seems a teensy bit more self-aware. Bubbles would talk about being a metal singer and just scream in my face. Bianca sang some song like 'winter is gone and spring has come, now it's time to do something dumb' and then added '... shut up, it rhymed, okay?' which I thought was pretty cute. She's also one of my sweepers, and she usually does it in the plaza.

Wolfgang my only cranky is pretty new, but so far he seems to enjoy sitting under trees and weightlifting. Like Freya, he'll wander around wearing reading glasses.

Are you maybe referring to different columns? The entire document isn't solely related to the sub-personalities, only one column is- under _9eea1288. Fashion/color preferences are in here too, because they're NPC params.

The sub personalities are Nature, Play, Music, Fitness, Education, and Fashion. You are right that they seem directly related to their "idle" animations, but I wouldn't really consider them being on the same level as idle animations- they're pretty important parts of how the villagers interact with the world. There could be other changes related to dialogue, it's just that all we know for sure is that there is a hobby correlation. I haven't personally noticed differences in dialogue, but others report differently.

I hang out on the ac_newhorizons datamine channel (only channel I go to, not sure how the rest of the server is) and there's usually good conversation there a handful of times per day

 

[Hirisa]

Okay, that data sheet upthread explains a lot. Diva was in one of my old New Leaf towns and I was surprised to see how she changed in New Horizons. My tough girl is constantly off somewhere pumping iron, which goes well with her tendency to talk about how she gave an ass-beating to some fool in her old town.

This is really interesting to look at! Thank you for sharing this

From what I've seen of this sheet, it lines up perfectly with the villagers I've had.
Olive and Ike have a "Nature" interest and are always examining the flowers with their little encyclopedia.
Tybalt, Crackle (Spork) and Sprinkle have a "Play" interest so I often see them running around town. Interestingly I feel like these are the villagers most likely to suggest playing the buried treasure game (but I think Ike has also played this with me?)
Lily and Chevre both are interested in "Education" which explains why they are so similar, having the same personality and the same interest.
Ken is "Education" while Lionel was "Music", explains why Lionel was always singing his heart out and Ken was often inside reading with glasses on.
Pashmina again "Music", and Mira "Fitness" -- I just realised Mira's subtype as she's always wearing those visor like sunnies around!!
It seems "Fashion" is the one I'm missing. Peanut was one of my starters and I didn't have her for long but I do remember she used to wear a red ribbon accessory sometimes which I've never seen on any of my other villagers.

However, it also looks like there is more than two interests per personality.
On a cursory scan, it seems like Cranky villagers can be interested in Nature (Ike), Fitness (Angus), and Music (Chief)

Edit - sorting by personality in the sheet, you can see that interests don't seem bound to personalities but they do heavily bias it (eg. Lazies are overwhelmingly likely to be interested in Play, Snooties in Fashion)

 

[chibby]

i don't know if this is even a thing but ellie loves to read and seems to like music, while nana seems to like cooking/tidying -- both are normal villagers! i do see nana holding food a lot more too, but ellie seems to be more into reading/relaxing under trees.

It is a thing! Nana is Normal-Education and Ellie is Normal-Nature.

It is a thing! Nana is Normal-Education and Ellie is Normal-Nature.

this is so cool! like other people, i thought they had differences, but i wasn't sure if it was just me or not.

 

[Dwayne Johnson]

my two smugs, eugene and kyle def seem to act different, eugene is all about style and sings a lot, while kyle is really lazy and stays in a lot

 

[driftwoodisle]

I haven't noticed this with my own villagers! But it's really interesting, this way even with repeat personalities theres still at least SOME distinction as long as you don't get two of the same subtype. But for my two repeats they generally seem very similar.

Interestingly, Eugene and Kyle are both Smug-Music.

 

[ForbiddenSecrets]

Interesting. Every one I thought was music was indeed music. The rest I almost got right. I don't have a single play sub type hmmm

Am I missing the column that tells you which character is which animal code?

Sorry, found it: it wasn’t showing up on my Sheets app

You sure that's what they're referring to by "sub-personalities"? I skimmed the list, and taking cranky as an example, count 5 interest types for them. (everything, but Fashion). If these are the sub-personalities, shouldn't there only be 2?
