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

Now that I've been playing it for a while the only thing that consistently annoys me is watering the flowers every day (it pays off though, I've got 3 jacob's ladders now). There's one area of my village that is where a lot of the animals walk and it is covered in pansies, I keep pulling them up but the villagers keep replanting them. I considered putting a PWP there to take up space but it's become a bit of a meeting point for everyone and I like ear wigging on their conversations there. But I hate watering all those flowers.

Perhaps putting down a large path or patio design there could help. It would keep it a central meeting point without the pansies!

I'm really not a fan of paths, I'll just have to keep fighting a never ending battle with the residents
 
long dialouge and grass wear for sure
you can't save on the island
why would they even do that? makes no sense at all
you can't make QR codes for skirts/pants, terrible because i hate 80% of the skirts/pants that shows in able sisters
shaking fruit off a tree near a path with flowers, one or all of the fruit disappears, there's no warning and you can't even pick fruit from the ground
and this is just nitpicking but i don't like the square grass
i wish i had circles
 
I don't like it how neighbors can send you letters without sending them one first. Sometimes I just order a lot of stuff from the catalog and I don't get it all because their letters get in the way.

I also don't like it how neighbors can plant flowers near other flowers of the same type now. This makes the hybrids creation process a little bit more difficult, and if you already have a lot of flowers, they keep on planting them and your whole town is flooded with flowers. I love flowers, but what the villagers do is a bit too much hahaha.

Also, it looks like villagers want to hang out at their house (or mine) a lot more frequently now. I usually don't mind this if they want to hang out "right" now, but if they tell me to hang out in 40 minutes or more there's a high chance I will forget or that I will stop playing for a bit.

Another thing is that villagers can move in wherever while destroying your trees, flowers, and paths. Paths aren't a big problem (in my case), but if they destroy my hybrids which I treat like my babies I'd probably find a way to "bully" them until they leave.

ACNL seems to have many flaws but I love it anyway ^^.
 
Grass wear.
Villagers plopping anywhere.
Grass wear.
Grass not growing back quickly enough.
Grass wear.
Rooney walking in my flower beds.
And once more in case you missed it: Grass wear.
 
I would say grass wear, but I'm not going to since I'm trying to make dirt paths in my town.
Instead I'm going to say repaying your loan, why can't you just use the money you have in the bank to pay directly? It's so unneccesary to have to withdraw money just to pay your loan, when the loan paying is in the ATM. >_>
 
Grass wear is the bane of my existance asdfghjkl
Animals need to stop moving out and when they move in cover the dirt pages from the grass wear ;w;
 
Either the fact that every single freaking time you dig something up, there has to be a little cutscene (talking lots of bamboo seeds here) or that villagers can put houses wherever they damn well please.
 
Grass wear and lack of variety in the dialogue. I want my villagers personalities to be stronger, not weaker. ._. Now, ACPG villager personalities, those were the best. Omg.

No one has mentioned the fact that they made this great system with the qr codes, but they restricted the hell out of their use?

Before I realized I couldn't use QR codes on my custom sign PWP I got this super cute sign to point to my orchard, wasted an entire day waiting for the stupid sign to be made, only to be told NO, SCREW YOU" with a nice subtly greyed out square over the pattern I wanted to use.

I finally broke down and had to make my own version of the design, which is nowhere near s nice as the one I found :(

also:
- not being able to kick out villagers, or make them miserable enough to leave (ignoring or being mean to them should alter some kind of percentage chance of them wanting to move out, sine they notice that you're being mean when you hit them, etc)
- spaces needed for PWPs
- ordering limit for HHS
- Only getting mail 2 times a day
- watered down characters (I actually miss Blather's blathering)
- not being able to put anything on top of patterns/items disappearing if it drops on a pattern.
- not being able to do mayor things before or after a timed event.
- not having a place to dump trash until you can buy a trash can or get one as a PWP
- not enough storage places to access your stuff and having to run back and forth
- why cant re-tail have a atm, or even the nook's shop after the third or final upgrade?
- villagers that are sick for sometimes three days at a time
- only two design options for the police station
- NOT BEING ABLE TO PLANT FLOWERS ON THE CLIFF ON MAIN STREET - it's like the perfect place to make pretty with flowers, but NO
- to short a time limit before your Dream Address gets deleted, sometimes I want to revamp my entire town before an update, but I still want people to be able to visit a nice version of it.

Don't get me wrong, I do love this game, and I am totally addicted to it, but there is so much room for improvement and some common sense things that the devs could have put in that just seem like common sense.

Permanent PWPs.
Having to demolish PWPs if you want to move them.
Can't move houses.
Can't choose where villagers move (unless you use the cheat but that's really inconvenient).
A random 10th villager just moved into my town I don't even have campsite 0_o.
Can't build PWPs close to other things even though there's enough space, sometimes if you demolish one you can't even put it back in the same place even though there's the same amount of space.
Not enough customization. You should be able to choose which fruit, grass style, how many ponds and other things.
Not enough storage space for items as well as patterns.
No gyroid storage.
I'd wish there was extra storage for non orderable items. I've got some I want to use later and I can't sell them and order them so they just take up space.
QR codes don't show up in dream towns.
Can't edit QR codes. I get they want to give people credit for their work, but can't they say who it was originally by and let people alter them.
Can't visit museums in dream towns. I know some people just use them for storage but they could make it optional.
Only one ordinance at a time. I want beautiful town but I need night owl coz I play late at night.
Can't grow foreign perfect fruit.
Can't move bushes.
Can't trade money with people easily. I traded 7m and had to put it all on the ground and they had to pick it all up and bank it, really annoying. If someones in your town or you're in their town you should be able to transfer between bank accounts.
If villagers move out, they can't move back in until I think 16 more villagers have moved out and then they don't remember you.
Leif should sell grass seeds to regrow grass fast.
Can't get rid of rooms in houses or make them smaller.

I couldn't choose just one thing lol.
 
K.K. Adventure is called K.K. Hollywood in Japan

BUT. THEY. NEVER. CHANGED. THE. ALBUM. ART.

Sorry if it just sounds like slight nitpicking, but for some reason I can't stand this.
 
Villagers that PLANT FLOWERS IN MY SPECIES SPECIFIC FLOWER BEDS.

Not a big deal though, still keep the beautiful town ordinance active :p
 
One thing that annoys me is the impatient look on my mayor's face when I look in her pockets. And why does she have to look as if she's tapping her foot? What's the rush?
