VILLAGERS CAN GIVE OTHER VILLAGERS CLOTHES?!?

[Your Local Wild Child]

Yeah, it sucks. What also sucks is how just about everyone on my island copied Marshall's catchphrase. They are all saying "sulky" and I havent been pinged at all to change any of theirs yet.

I once let Sterling call me MAH BOI (cdi forever) and literally everyone else wanted to call me that and nothing else. Thankfully they changed over to Pup (with some calling me Gardener)

Lol that's amazing. Yeah with nicknames I've learned that too, once you have a new one it spreads like wild fire.

Omg LOL... I hate when that happens !
This happened to me when Biskit was on my island and he was gifted a green muscle shirt
It was so annoying seeing him wear it.

Really wish the reset function with Isabelle worked properly. I wouldn’t mind delivery packages again if able to clear out a villager’s closet. After someone gifted a muscle suit to Kyle, I’ve denied every one of them since.

With all the fixes we’ve gotten, it is truly bizarre that Nintendo hasn’t fixed this. It’s not a so-called “quality of life” fix like some things people have been asking for, it’s a clear error in the stated functionality of the game. We should be able to at minimum remove non-original clothing from our villagers’ wardrobe (and we should really be able to do the same for their house interiors as well, though that’s NOT an existent stated functionality of the game, so more of a related quality of life suggestion)

Yeah, only thing I think it does do correctly is remove custom designs they obtain on their old island. Thing is though, they make it sound like it will reset and remove any kind of outfit they are currently wearing, but that’s not the case at all. They will wear the same outfit the minute you walk out of the residential services. I’ve had a whole day where I kept going back to Isabelle every 10 minutes because Kyle was wearing that godawful suit.

 

[Kattea]

I didn't know this was a thing. Note to self: don't do delivery requests.

 

[DeltaLoraine]

Luckily for me, once I tell them my opinion on it, they don’t seem to wear it after that.

 

[Serabee]

Dude, someone gave Del a onesie. I told him never to EVER wear it- he still did

THEY NEED TO CHANGE THIS MECHANIC Every once in awhile they give a cute or at least okay outfit, and I tell them to try it on and wear it, but then they give out onesies or chef outfits that somehow look like girlscout uniforms (Dobie still sometimes wears his... but at least it's not a onesie) and, even if I say don't try it on, they still wear it. At LEAST give us a chance to truly veto it.

I thought that, until I saw Del in his onesie...

 

[FishHead]

Generally when this happens, Im pretty sure there's an option for them not to wear it. I think they ask you if they should wear it right now.

I need to stop doing delivery requests. Mathilda will. not. stop. wearing. a COMEDIAN'S OUTFIT. I hate it so much. I really hate how gifts are permanent.

Oh, dear, yah... that wouldn't be a good look on her. I personally gave the white/super pale blue one to Julian and he rocks it. But it's a very hit-or-miss outfit

And has anyone found a way to keep them from wearing them? Because no matter what I try (either letting them try them on and saying "no", or just stopping them from trying them on at all) they still wear them occasionally!
...But I also feel bad saying no and don't want to stop doing favors for neighbors all togehter

I don’t understand why we even have the option to say no if villagers will wear them anyways…

I almost have to wonder if it's a glitch? Like, we're supposed to be able to absolutely veto any clothing choice, but it's broken for some reason.

Whatever the case, I really hope they do end up giving us the chance to veto them soon. I couldn't take it if someone gave Dobie a onesie

 

[Larsi]

Haha had this too and at first I asked myself if I made a mistake... but clearly it doesn't matter what you say haha :') Why don't they just give the more beautiful expensive stuff

For me, I just give them clothes that I want them to wear over the next few days, and eventually the clothes they were given by a neighbor is pushed out of their closet. You might have to regift some furniture to remove the clothes from display, but that seems to work best for instances like this.

I loathed when villagers wore clothing that wasn't their original clothing, so that's why I didn't like to stay outside of my old towns no longer than 5 minutes or more. Thankfully they don't do this no more.
Of course if I get apologetic gifts I accept their request, open the gift and throw it away in the trash. I don't decline it because i'm afraid that if I do the villager that is being gifted will wear the clothing item the next day.

I also forgot to mention that Cashmere wore a sports shirt that I have no idea how she got in the first place. I didn't give her any clothing at all.

LOLOLOL. I never stayed outside long in NL, either. It’s a little crazy to play with this “keep them in amber” mentality, but then they need to not let them mess up their houses and clothes so badly. Like, in NL, no, you ain’t having a T-rex tail and a whale shark in your house.

One change that would help in NH is if they placed items right away. I’d wait until it saved, hand over furniture, and see if it replaced the offending item. If not, hard reset. But, they don’t change it until the next day.

 

[Dim]

Yaaaa it's so stupid how they keep it and wear it anyway despite how brutally honest you were with them. They look kinda ridiculous now -.-

 

[applesauc3]

Yeah, it sucks. What also sucks is how just about everyone on my island copied Marshall's catchphrase. They are all saying "sulky" and I havent been pinged at all to change any of theirs yet.

Oh no!!! I have Marshall and sulky is probably my least favourite catchphrase so I hope that doesn’t happen!

 

[coderp]

Yeah... Fang now wears this pink dress all the time, and it's both hideous and annoying.
