What's one thing that annoys you about New Leaf?

Don't get me wrong, I think this is the best AC out to date(yes, better than Gamecube), but there is always one little thing that is irritating. Personally, I don't like how I have to pass 4 fashion checks from Gracie to get T&T Emporium. I've had the game since day 1 and I have not seen her once. So not only will it take forever to get the biggest shop, I have to wait to get the Golden Shovel. So what's one thing that you dislike about the game? Don't say when new neighbors put their house in an inconvenient spot, we all hate that :P
 
I dislike the lack of backing up save data options in the 3DS settings for this game.
 
I'm getting tired of mosquitoes popping up when I'm trying to do things. They make the most annoying noises and take forever to bite me since I don't want to catch them because it's too much effort. Ugh, I hate them so much.

Also, btw, Gracie doesn't show up until you get the T.I.Y. store. That's what others said anyways.
 
Trying to make paths, especially for someone like me who has OCD and can't get everything to be semetrical AND all the things listed above. Damn those bloody mosquitoes, it's like a punishment for playing at night time or something. At first I was annoyed and disliked the grass wear coming back in new leaf but now, after seeing other towns on YouTube of how people have made dirt paths, I look forward to it now. If only I could get the paths to work the way I want them to and I have more then enough flowers to make paths anywhere I want. Too many flowers actually...and that's another thing I dislike! Villagers plopping flowers all over the place! Before I reset my town I had 9 villagers and I swear they were dropping at least 20-30 flowers a day, I know I counted 26 the one day after picking them all up. Eventually I will have to start selling or giving them away, otherwise every inch of my town will have flowers and no room for flower breeding. :/

Flowers are way to easy to get in this version.
 
The constant errors when playing online. Is it too much to ask to play online?

Another one would be animals suggesting PWP's. I wish there were another way of unlocking PWP's... These lazy *** villagers of mine have only suggested a couple things. And they're all undesirable ( In my opinion. )
 
I wish there was a separate kind of tool inventory, or some way to let you hold tools without them taking up bag space. Ideally, things like the axe, shovel, watering can, fishing rod, net, slingshot, and diving suit wouldn't take up bag space. I know this is how it's been in all the past games, but I think it would be an improvement. You don't need a bag with sixty spaces, but having to decide between either sacrifice carrying tools or making a lot of trips back and forth is unnecessary.

Quick tip for ya: use your mail space as extra storage. I only carry my Net, Fishing Rod and Shovel in my actual pocket space. My Slingshot, Axe, Wet Suit and Megaphone are up in the mail space since i don't use them as much :)
 
Not enough pattern space. I shouldn't have to create another character just for those extra patterns! Of course that problem didn't come from NL, but it's the only thing that TRULY annoys me.

...that and grass wear, I guess.

That's true. I might end up doing that. xD
I do wish it was a built in feature though.
 
I really hate the space requirements for some public works project and how Isabelle would ramble about it on and on if the space is not right >_> My biggest peeve ever :/ Ex: I had the perfect place for a suspension bridge but two villagers moved near the river and I ended up having to place it else where.
 
The inability to move rocks. We now have the ability to tear down and move entire buildings in a single night, but moving a rock is impossible? Same with the ponds...it would be so amazing if we could landscape a bit more, instead of having to wrestle with the perfect placement of an object due to a stupid rock being there.

And yeah, I agree on the grass wear. It's not as fast as it was in CF, but it's still a major bummer. :/ I don't want there to be a perma-brown spot in front of my house, especially when I can't place a pattern down!

Oh, yeah, that's #3 on my list. Why can't we put patterns down in front of houses or other objects? Why is it so hard for the programmers to just not have clipping on said patterns once they're on the ground? It messes up my town streets, and every time Redd or Katrina come by it destroys a good chunk of my work.
 
Things I find annoying in the game or could be improved:
-mosquitos
-wi-fi errors
-hate the fact that you can only store 10 patterns and if you want to make more for a path or something you have to make a new character
-why do messages last like 5 seconds?? I sometimes miss what my friends say because they last so short
-when swimming I want to be able to use the best friend feature or check my pockets but can't .-.
-stupid porter when he gives you an empty list of towns
-more pocket space
-why can't we build our houses on the beach
-i want to be able to build public works WHEREVER I want like come on we're mayors
 
1) Rocks can be moved. They disappear when buildings are placed. So why can't we simply make them go by-by?

2) Um, hello! Isabelle, I'm the mayor. I should be setting restrictions, not you.

I have very few rants today.
 
They can? Every single time I try to place a building on one, Isabelle says "We can't build here, there's a rock!"
 
I fell like almost everything about the game could be improved, mostly online stuff.
I should get a notification or something if someone opens their gate, I shouldn't have to spend over a minute checking to see if their gate is open.

Also, why don't fruit stack themselves? It's really silly.

There are more but this game is still fantastic, one of the most addicting games I've played in a while.
 
Grass wear.

Just grass wear.

I haven't updated my Dream Town because I'm embarrassed about my grass wear in front of the caf?, which is a really popular place to walk on for my villagers. D8
 
The 10 letter limit to your mailbox. Almost every single day my mailbox is shaking even though I empty it every day. I have 9 villagers that I send letters to regularly in an attempt to get pictures plus I order stuff from my Happy Home Showcase plus I order stuff from my regular catalog for people plus there's things like Redd and Katie and Gulliver deliveries... Ugh. It means it takes days to get items I order sometimes.
