What do you look for in a neighbor?

I'm not even sure what answer to pick, because it's a bit of all of the above. I stray away from several of the species as a whole (gorilla, octopus, etc), I obviously have to find the visitor visually appealing in some way, their personality can't absolutely suck (jocks don't interact), and their house can't be an old crusty shack, Kyle.

I see what you mean. It’s more like if someone told you, “you can have a villager based on only one quality and the rest for this villager is going to be subpar” (for me this would be picking, say, Buck because his house exterior is a perfect woodsy-look). It kind of forces people to narrow down what you really desire in a villager. All of these factors I do look at, but the first one is always house exterior. The villager could have 2, 3, and 4 fit to perfection, but if the exterior is really bad then I’d pass.

A good example would be Tia. She’s a normal (one of my top 3 personality types), elephant (come on, baby elephants make me go “daww”), and design is one of my favorites out of all the neighbors (I have so many tea sets and canned/bagged tea). However, her house would absolutely not work in my towns, especially Komorebi. I just do not like it’s design, so I can’t bring myself to having her as a neighbor.

For me, I guess, the exterior of villager houses doesn't really bother me so much personally. There's obviously ones I'd rather NOT have, but. When I visit themed dream towns I don't really notice the villager houses all that much. I'm more looking at the PWPs and foliage and whatnot. So I guess if I had to pick one specific feature and forgo the rest, it'd be looks. I'm sorry, but I don't want to look at Coco or Peewee or Diva for all eternity.

Rofl, that last sentence is gold. I get that. A lot of DAs that I’ve visited are able to blend the houses into their town even when it doesn’t perfectly fit the look of the town. I’d also say that I don’t look right away at the houses, but everything surrounding them, haha. Looks don’t bother me as much, but I would say those villagers might do the trick. XD

Looks obviously. There are only a handful of personalities, species, and house exterior combos. But HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS. Plus, I don't spend all of my time at their house and neither do the animals, so I base it off of appearances.

If they desperately run after me I will accept them as a villager. If not, they are banished forever from conversation.
