The other day, I was watching this video and it got me thinking about this myself. As the title asks, I'm curious to find out what features you would add in each of the mainline games, and why? It can be a feature that was in a game, but got removed in a later game. It can be a future that was in a late game, but you would also like for an earlier game. Heck, it can even be a feature that isn't in any of the games. I'm opened to all types of answers. ^-^
If you watch(ed) the video I sent, you will notice that we will have same answers for WW, and CF, and NL.![Grinning face with smiling eyes :smile: 😄](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f604.png)
Animal Crossing: Game Cube - Sickness
I know, I know. This seems dark, but please hear me out: I think looking after your sick villagers is extremely heartwarming. It is a great way to boost friendship and discover more dialogue. Plus, I love how wholesome the dialogue is when you look after them. It makes the villagers seem more realistic. I am not saying I want my villagers to be miserable, I just think it is a beautiful way to be there for them when they are at their lowest. I would love for more examples this in future installments. Especially to the cranky villagers...I feel like they are very misunderstood throughout the series and have a hard time making friends (especially close ones). Looking after them is a good reminder for them that they DO have people who care. I feel like cranky villagers have some of the most heartwarming dialogue when they are being cared for, and when you have nursed them back to health (especially in Wild World). I am very curious to see what this would be like in the GameCube version.
And yes, I am aware that it was in e+, but there isn't an English version (at least not one that is easily accessible), and is very limited to what you can play it on.
Animal Crossing: Wild World - More Holidays/Events
Don't get me wrong, it is cute that we have holidays and events they are exclusive to WildWorld like Yay Day, La-Di-Day, Bright Nights. However, it is a bit of a shame that we do not have a lot of the regular holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even Valentine's Day. While the ones that were in WildWorld are cute, I feel like the regular events hold more value and depth.
Though if I had to choose a specific event, I would choose Valentine's Day. Look, I know it is very simple compared to holidays like Christmas, but I just love it so much. I am a sucker for the villager and friendship aspects of the games, and an even bigger sucker for being rewarded for being best friends with my favorite villager. This is my favorite aspect of Animal Crossing: Interacting with my favorite villagers and being rewarded for good friendship and/or getting special interactions on certain days and special occasions (like Valentine's Day or your birthday).![Two hearts :two_hearts: 💕](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f495.png)

Animal Crossing: City Folk - Villager Pictures
Again, as someone who values the friendship-building aspects the most, I think it was a shame that villager photos were taken out in City Folk. It was just a wonderful indication of being close friends with a villager. I personally think WildWorld handled villager photos the best. They are actually treated as a valuable item, and not just passed along like an ordinary one like in New Leaf and New Horizons. I mean, it is still better than nothing, but yeah, I thought I'd state that they should be handled like they are in WildWorld. ^-^
Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Outdoor Furniture
Public Works Projects were handled atrociously in this game. I think it would have been awesome if we could have played furniture outside. I think this is very useful in New Horizons. It's like placing PWPs, but it's cheaper and easier. If I may add something to go along with it, I also think some furniture that is more appropriate for outdoors would have been a good add.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Tortimer Island
This place was an absolute godsend in New Leaf. I have spent a lot of time at Tortimer Island farming for rare fish and bugs We can all agree that Spring, Fall, and especially Winter lack in creatures to catch, especially rare ones. Summer nights are where it's at! Not to mention, a lot of these bugs are extremely rare and are only out for two months of the year. July and August (Northern Hemisphere), or January and February (Southern Hemisphere). It would have been very useful to have a way to catch these creatures year-round without time traveling. Plus it would make making bells a lot easier and more fun.
