it's interesting, some things are removable and others aren't. i think eugene's sunglasses can be taken off/switched out for other accessories
 
The only reason the horn goes away with hats is that it would conflict with the placement and go through the model. So the best way for it visually was to make the horn disappear.

There's no conspiracy behind it.
 
Julian is a magical unicorn, I’m sure he’s able to shrink his horn down for convenience. Lol

Can anyone post a picture of Julian without the horn? I would like to see , but google isn’t bringing anything up.
I have him on my island, I can take a picture when he wakes up.

Ahh thank you for the pic!

he’s been lying to us all. He’s just a horse :O
I was in a kind of denial since google wasn’t bringing any evidence that he was a fake. But that picture proves it.

Without the horn, he is just Ed’s twin brother.
 
Whaaaat?? What do you mean

So best way I can explain is that they have the default shape of a villager species (horse/rabbit), they then would design the character to look the way they want. But because O'Hare and Julian per say have additional assets (the horn/hat) on their model, those would be created separately and then attached to their character model.

Now for coding reasons, they most likely take up the same coding space or written with the same coding for how hats go on a character. So certain hats, helmets and assecories replace the horn/hat so they can be worn.

This isn't an issue with say Boomer or Puck, cause those "helmets" are actually just a texture on their model, like their "fuzz"/colors. So hats can go on top of them. Just like Sterling and Knox, although they are wearing helmets, those helmets are modeled into their default form and take the same space and shape as their head.

But with villagers wearing glasses or assecories on their head, those are just separate models attached to them. Said models taking the same space that glasses, hats and assecories need to take to appear on the character model.

So to work around this, glasses given to say Eugene would switch the model of glasses out so it doesn't stack on top of the model or not show up. Same with O'Hare and Julian, having a hat on top of a hat would cause clipping (going through the model) issues and not look nice at all, and Julian's horn would constantly go through or make the assecories clip.

It just wouldn't be pleasant or proper for a Nintendo game to have such issues, its not clean character modeling.

So they simply just switch the model assecories out when Julian wants to wear a hat.

I get it about the horns and hats having to go away
But dont they go back to the original models when they take their gifted hats off?? Im confused why you got rid of o hare just because his hat wasnt permanent?
I can see people saying that about julian.. being a fake but o hare wifhout a hat wouldnt be too bad.. but you could just not gift him a hat and then he wont take off his hat....
