What features/ideas do you wish Animal Crossing had? Share your ideas!

[Dmitriem]

Hi everyone!
Today I'd like to see your wishlists/ideas for what you want to see in AC. Yeah, I know there are already a lot of posts like "New features…", "What if…", "Ideas…", "Concept Ideas…". But I still wanted to get some fresh thoughts from you all!

It's interesting sometimes to read when people write their thoughts or imagine for the game.
You can share anything - from simple to the most unusual ideas… Maybe something you wanna see in future?

So can't wait to read your answers! Thanks!

i honestly wish that if your doing the same thing over and over, that the characters will stop saying the same spheal. like when im villager hunting i have to go through the same chat with wilber and orville, like yes i am using a ticket for the 6th time, SHUT UP

yep, totally agree, the dialogue just keeps repeating… and repeating… I wish there was a "feature" to turn off this. (or… maybe just make it shorter after the first time). And thanks for your feedback!

I know it's sort of against how Animal Crossing is meant to be, but I wish every character had some amount of unique story. When characters in New Horizons tell me about a "story" of their past or such, as much as I like to think those stories are true, I can't help but think about the fact that every other villager of that personality group can usually quote that exact same story. These unique stories would be difficult to make as I understand there are over 400 villagers they would have to write, but it is just something I wish they'd do.

I wish we could fine Residents for some stuff that makes sense like putting up outdoor decorations that don’t fit the Town/City/Island theme or littering. Not an excessive amount but enough to warrant a change and add to residential funds. Say they remove a tree that you had planted in a very specific location, the fine would be 2000 Bells plus the charged needing to put it back.

Agree! Unique stories for each villager would be nice, not just same story

I remember in 2015 or so someone made fake bat villagers for New Leaf, was sad they weren't a new species in New Horizons

I hope bats appear in the AC someday!

fines for villagers) that's a pretty good idea and an interesting way to add to residential funds. I had a similar idea in my head, but you showed an interesting example!

I wish I could remember who originally posted this, and please come forward if this was your idea, but I've read a post that said they should make all the personality types accessible to both genders. And I completely agree! It'd bring a lot of freshness to the game imo.

I also think they could expand upon the way flowers worked. I get that they added more flowers to the game in New Horizons and that's great but I just find them so boring atm lol. There's nothing there to encourage players to grow more once they hit the Nook goal. Maybe add some mutations or something seasonal? Something that blooms at night? Idk, but right now flowers are worse than weeds on my island lmao

This one is simple, but I'd like for there to be neck and waist/belt options for the avatar customization. It would allow for more complete outfits. As an example of my point, in Pocket Camp Complete, I have a samurai/ronin outfit consisting mostly of clothing from the Dreamy Samurai Collection (with the exception of the White Tabi and Red-Strap Zori).

Both the White Samurai Scarf and Black Samurai Katana are classified as back clothing, so you can only wear one or the other, not both. I love this costume, but it'd be perfect if I could wear both the scarf and katana at the same time. I could have the scarf for a neck option and the katana for a waist/belt option and there we go. Problem solved. Simple and clean.

Also, make freckles a default customization option rather then something we have to either wear in place of glasses (because I might want to wear glasses with some of my other outfits) or make a face paint of in the case of New Horizons. It would be way more convenient that way.

More than five basic fruit types. A lot more.

More veggies too.

Freckles as a baseline customization option available from the start - I have them, and it'd be nice if my character could have some too. Tons more villager types (bats, moths, sharks, etc).
