What's your ACNL pet peeve?

Frankly, I think ACNL is just an unpolished game. Its understandable because Animal Crossing is a big game, but it seems the devs even looked over glaring issues I see with the basic mechanics and structure.

-Trees are not 3D Models, they are flat 2D images. You can see this when you go onto the beach and look at the bottom of one.

-When I'm fishing it always feels like I just miss the fish I'm trying to obtain.

-Theres nothing to do at night

-Some furniture items like dressers you can put small objects on, but other ones that seem like you could you just cant! Stupid Cabana Dresser..

-Grass Wear

-Limited Villager Interaction. After about a week you've heard everything the villagers have to say

-No main street customization

-No telling what you've already donated to the museum in your Encylopedia

-Still can't decide where houses go without exploiting the new character feature

-Villagers who are flat out disgusting to look at

-Lack of foreign events in the NA version and vice versa. We could use a little culture you know!

-Dr. Shrunk still looks nothing like what he is supposed to be

-The fun stories characters had about their pasts are removed for the most part

-The freedom of where you can place PWP's is painfully limited and its very difficult to get it where you want

-Fruits dont automatically stack

-You cant stack fruit while managing your closet

-Some items I believe should be able to be stacked, like god forsaken snowflakes

-Still no use of the touch screen to customize your house or even town. Seriously, organizing my house or even museum exhibits feels like a terrible block arranging puzzle!

-No way to remove rocks

-You have to rid of every single path tile manually

-Limited Inventory

-The villagers you're friends with most are the ones most eager to leave

-No places to experience Winter, Fall or Spring even when you are not in those months

-You cant queue villagers you may want in the future

*sigh* I could probably write a 50 page essay on all the problems and nitpicks I have with this game.

1. not being able to plant bushes next to rivers/ponds and cliffs
2. Isabel giving "the state of the town" address everytime you start up the game
3. having to go through the same conversation at a shop
4. villagers that like you asking to move out

That...that was beautiful... you covered everything I wanted to say
 
Here's some more:
4. chicken, rats, and gorilla villagers
5. only able to let 3 people in your town
6. no back up save file so any technical mistake can corrupt your game
7. Timmy and Tommy selling crap I already have
8. not being able to change your town name
 
Accidently hitting villagers with a net or shovel when I'm *pretty* sure I'm stood close enough to them, and various fish-getting-away grumbles xD
 
when they tell me I've been playing too much. also, put me down for inventory space as well as that tiny wallet.
 
Also, ugh, store conversations. Worse when you have TIY, see something on the middle floor and go back down to check the catalog to see if you already have it. Then you go back up again and he does the conversation AGAIN! I was just HERE! augh

Thiiis. I also hate how Tortimer has to explain the rules of tours every time, just let me get my damn medals already. You know how some games give the tutorial once, then ask whether you want to hear it subsequent times? They should do something like that. There's just too much unnecessary talking in the game in general.
 
When you order items you have to click "read" on every single letter even tho you know it says the same thing for the millionth time.

What everybody else said.

Also, that mailbox annoying jangling sound when I walk by a secondary characters house. Bugs the heck out of me.
 
Uhg yes. Whenever I'm checking my TIYs stuff for Paper, Music and Wallpaper/Flooring he always says "OH WELL CHECK OUR OTHER WARES THEN". Just SHUT UP! DX Also when you talk to the Nooklings directly they say something and then you get the menu options. It makes redeeming fortunes in bulk a complete nightmare.
 
- accidentally removing paths when trying to pick something up
- villager "a" pinging you while talking to villager "b"; not being able to make villager "b" shut up fast enough, so villager "a" stops trying to get your attention
- bushes not "jumping" into the holes i dug for them but instead dropping to the floor and start growing in the spot i stood, even though i'm standing right in front of said hole
- deep sea creatures escaping by swimming behind that rope-thingie
- accidentally clicking too fast and inviting an unwanted villager to stay instead of waving him goodbye *facepalm*
 
NPC's such as nat/redd/katrina appearing in your plaza and removing all your paths there
 
- Conversations in the stores
- Placement of PWP's
- Placement of villagers houses ( you don't even know how many villagers moved onto my hybrids )

I could name many more, but i just can't think right now.

speaking of shop convos, I lose patients with porter. one of my old mmo complaints were always about how many times I had to click yes/agree to get online.

I hate that the snow stays so long in the game when it should be grass by now, and rocks. :3
 
>Grass Wear
>Grass Wear
>Villager Placements
>PWP Placements

The two Grass Wears were intentional.;
 
Pet peeve... the smugs. xD I think they get around a lot and they probably carry some sort of STD. lol My favorite villager Lopez will cry if he saw my response to this topic!
