Animal Crossing Wishlist!

I thought it would be fun to talk about the top things that everyone would wish for in future Animal Crossing games. I think New Leaf has added some awesome new features to the series that have added a lot more life, but I would love to see the next game add even more. Here are some of the main things I would love to see. (They are not in order)

1. More personalities! More personality types as well as more more variation within each personality type. For example, every 'Normal' should not be the same. They should share some basic traits, but also have some traits unique to that particular villager. Maybe some variance in their hobbies and also maybe some personality traits specific to their species.

2. Much more dialog! Also more rewards for befriending the villagers. As in the more you talk to them and do favors and become their friend, the more they'll have to say to you. Similar to getting Sable to warm up to you, but on a larger scale.

3. Some light Harvest Moon elements, such as light farming and cooking. Instead of just planting fruit trees, it would be awesome to plant some simple veggies (carrots, tomatoes, etc). It would be really cute if there was a simple cooking mechanic where you could make things like carrot cake for rabbit villagers and so on. They could even do an optional public works project where you could build a little cafe to run. That way it would be up to the player if they even wanted to bother.

4. Just more to do in general. Such as working in a cafe as mentioned above, or even being able to design your villager's homes like in HHD. It could be that when a villager hits a certain "friendship status" they may ask you to help them redesign their home and/or front yard.

5. More customization! More ways to customize your town as well as your character. The ability to place certain types of furniture around town in front yards and things like that. Also, more faces and hairstyles, more wigs, more furniture, clothes etc.

6. As mayor, I believe we should have some say in where new villagers are allowed to put their house. Upon loading up your save, Isabelle should say something like..."Oh, I have to tell you, someone new is interested in moving into town. Would you like to meet with them?" Saying no would result in a random plot in town. Saying yes would result in a sceen where a villager is arriving via train. You would then be able to greet said villager and take them for a walk around town, to show them available places for their home. Once a space was agreed upon, a plot would be set up and the villager would leave via train. The next morning their house would be set up and they would have moving in boxes.

7. Last but very important...Some kind of option to keep certain villagers from moving! Some people want villagers to move in and out naturally, but many of us have villagers we never want to lose. We should at least have the option to somehow keep them. Maybe once reaching a certain friendship level with a villager, they will never move without getting you to ok it.

Love your #6 and 7! I definitely second them.

Personally, I would like to also see:

1. Rugs that we can put anywhere we'd like.

2. More QR slots!!!

3. When diving, I wish we were able to swim faster. Repeatedly and quickly pressing A after diving for a fast-swimming deep sea creature still isn't quick enough in my opinion.

4. Getting a small hut on the island just like in the original Animal Crossing on Game Cube.

5. Someone from another forum I'm a member of suggested a toolbox for your pockets so your tools won't take up so much space and a cooler appearing for stacking fish. I think both are awesome ideas.

6. I, personally, prefer balloon presents to be random like in the original Animal Crossing and Wild World rather than a balloon set. I enjoy the surprise.

7. Increase the villager limit to 15. 10 is way too small!

8. An option for 4-5 random town maps and an option for building your own, including your native fruit! From my experience, it was easier to get a map you wanted or were ok with than getting the native fruit you wanted.

9. More octopus neighbors!

10. Make it easier to get pinged for PWPs. On a related note, allowing villagers to drink from the water fountain PWP. (I don't think they can right now, but I might be wrong.) It's a small thing, but it would make sense as they are already more interactive in NL than the previous AC games (i.e. shaking trees, sitting and falling asleep on tree stumps, etc.).

11. More shops on Main Street.

12. Lily pads and lotus in the pond area again, just like in GC AC. I really miss this feature - it was so cute and detailed.

13. Maybe being able to buy food (possibly from a convenience store)? For example, sushi, kimbap, chips, etc. for your characters and villagers. Similar to when your villagers crave fruit and ask you to fetch some for them.

All I can think of at the moment!
 
I want an option to have a translator at the wifi island so you can understand other people that don't speak your language

I want to be able to decorate my house, like when a holiday is coming up you can buy decorations from tom nook. I just want the outside of my house to not look so bland during the holidays.

I want to be able to actually do things inside of your home (like being able to cook and interact with more objects).

I'd desperately want a relationship meter to show how close you are with your villagers.

I want the option to actually place where houses go, rather then plot resetting.

And I really want club LOL to have a purpose. Like, have a stand where you can get food and drinks, have more dancing options, and being able to dance with the other villagers.

Plus I need there to be something to do when you go to villagers birthday parties. Like I just go there and give them my present. It would be nice if you can play party games with the other villagers that showed up and being able to get a piece of cake, rather then it bring just for display.

I really wanna see is having the option to invite villagers to your house, rather then them asking to come over at a certain time or bugging you when you're trying to decorate your home.

And the last thing I wanna see is being able to get face paint from shampoodle! Like for valentines day it would be nice to go to get your hair dyed and being able to get face paint with it. Oh, and I want more options for choosing colors then having to pick what's available. It would be cool to see a color wheel where you can choose qyever color you want.

And I guess that's mostly it :)

Ooh I love all of these! Slots for tools that don't take up your inventory space was one of the things I was thinking, but I forgot to write it. I also love 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12. (Really everything, but those especially). Basically anything to add more life to your town or customization would be great!

As for the hut on the island, that's a great idea to bring back! But it also got me thinking about multiple "Vacation Spots". Like the island is always summery, what about having a wintery place to visit and special things you can do and decorate in each place.

Would love to see villagers interacting with even more things like you mentioned with the drinking fountain. Also more interactions with things in their house, like bookshelves, etc. More shops, pretty details around town, and villagers would be great. But we'd need a bigger town to fit it all.
 
1. New villagers and sorting out some normals into other personalities since there are so many cuties in the normal category!!

2. ABUNDANT DIALOGUE PLZ

3. More shops on Main St

4. Villager-interactive PWPs

5. Amazing music like Wild World had

I love the idea of decorating the outside of your house for holidays! Christmas lights, Halloween decorations, etc. Would be awesome!

A lot of your ideas are very similar to ones I would really like to see. One thing I never thought of is birthday mini games...that would be really fun!

Sylviabee,

More shops, more dialog and interactive pwps seem to be highly wanted. It would be neat if they added even more personality types next time and switched some of the normals over to that type. Or even if they switched some normals over to uchi, since we are lacking in cute uchis and have a ton of cute normals.

Alright! I've got plenty.

1. New Villager Personalities: There are far too few types of characters, and we could really have some interesting interactions.

2. More Houses in Town: I want to be able to have up to 15 or 20 villagers in a town at once. 10 feels too low, and having more would be better so things wouldn't get as stale.

3. Speaking of Stale... More Dialogue! (Pretty self-explanatory, I think.)

4. A Bustling Main Street: I definitely want more shops. Former characters need to get added dialogue, and hopefully The Roost goes back to being on Main Street.

5. Bigger Maps: I'd love to get a town with plenty of secret areas to explore, maybe even a cave or two that some villagers (or the Mayor) could call home. Just more geological features in general.

6. More Holidays: Also pretty self explanatory, but more events in the Plaza are a must.

That's all I can think of, but I'm sure there's more!
 
More personalities
More dialogue
A tool box
An in game notepad to jot down ideas etc
More villagers
Bigger town
More pwps
More events
More villager interaction
More flowers, bushes etc (landscaping items)
Bring back some more old villagers
Make winter look less dead and ugly imo
 
Yes yes yes! All of these ideas are amazing!
I want more qr spots
more pwps
the ability to choose where villagers plot their land.
make paths easier to lay
theres sooo much you could do to make this amazing game better :)
 
I would love to have more things to do with villagers. Instead of just going to their houses/them coming to mine. It would be great if we could have somewhere to have a meal with them or invite them for a coffee.

Markers on the map to show where villagers and visitors are would be massively helpful. Get so annoyed having to run around everywhere when I'm looking for somebody.

Making it easier to move villagers in would be a big help. Maybe an announcement from Isabelle the day before a villager plots which means we can choose where their house goes. Would also be great if there was some announcement when a villager is considering leaving so we have chance to stop them.

More shops on mainstreet. I'd love to see a bigger clothing store similar to the emporium
