Wishful ideas for Animal Crossing NH Thread

[pwure]

throughout playing acnh i’ve thought of some features that would just make the game easier and i was wondering what everyone else has thought of as well
it’s really cool when game developers take consumers ideas for improvements and i hope one day some of things we think of could be made real
for example; while i was trying to place a bridge in the exact center of a river section today, i thought it would be so much easier if i could see where i was placing the bridge either on the map or from a birds eye view and make small adjustments from there instead of trying to creep one way or the other on foot, ik you can imagine the spot but for some places it doesn’t zoom out far enough to see the whole picture. i also had an idea of what if you could turn a grid on or off so it could be easier to count out spaces (since the grid of the map isn’t super obvious to me anyways) and place things in the center or however you want (kind of like in the sims) idk just some building ideas i had today

I wish I could move the resident services building, and I wish I could build a bridge over land.
By this, I mean, span a gap on the second tier where I can walk underneath (no river)

resident services can be such an inconvenience ;—; i can’t think of any reason why we can’t move it, and i get the bridge over land thing, i had to put a little river where i didn’t really want one for that

Desert Island Escape 2.0!!!!

I know I sound like a broken record at this point...I just want something else to do with the villagers.

Having a grid you can turn on/off would be great would have made fixing my river easier. I would love being able to connect my second or third tiers with bridges without to having to put in rivers. I wish I could just move a building or bridge over one or two spots instead of having to move it somewhere else then move it back. Sometimes I’m off by a space like I am with one of my bridges but don’t want to pay to demolish it just to move it one space.

whenever i accidentally mess up a placement of a bridge or something i just immediately close the game so it doesn’t save there, kind of annoying but less annoying than moving and demolishing stuff like that

I usually do this now but this was my first bridge and didn’t have terraforming to fix the river to get in the right place. I didn’t have my path layout picked then either so I just placed it at the time.

Mini games with an additional currency and special items to buy them with and an off-screen smaller island with GCN-style huts for additional villagers.

 

[pwure]

another idea i had while i’m villager hunting now, the ability to go to another nmt island from an island you’re already on instead of going back home in between

Everything from NL.

Removal of crafting, breaking tools, and autosave.

Not sure if this would count as a wishful idea, I don't see Nintendo doing this with their policies as they never let this happen with any game. But I think with the enormous liberty New Horizons has, especially with custom design and stuff, it would be cool if in the next game (because I don't think they would for this one) they allowed us to create custom content (furniture and outside decor we could download from Ables or Nooks' Service!). I think the custom designs are so important in the sense that it keeps the game alive and fresh, it's the most fun part for me! Imagine the impact of custom content if it were to happen! (Especially with how talented and creative the AC community is)

Not sure how mini games worked in past ac games or what they even were, but i think it would be cool if you clicked on a furinture piece that was a game it would take you into another screen to actually play the game. Like if its in a villager home or on harveys island or if a villager is so close to the furinture you could play the game with your villager if its not single player. Board game or arcade cabinet.

This post is going to be very long. I wish there was a call app you could use with your nookphone. Sure some people might not want to talk with your real voice like that, but it would make the nookphone seem more like a phone. I also want to replace sending letters with emailing for the same reason. Also I wish new horizons was like pocket camp with all those events, so each time you play, you have something to look forward to. I have heard lots of complaints about people who hate the events, so many that idea will help. Also, I want like an adult personality, for male and female villagers. I think my animals in New horizons are preteens-young adults. Maybe some villagers that act like adults will spice things up. Also to change cranky villagers from pretending they are old men, to how they were in New leaf.

This is 100% wishful thinking, but here are some things I’d absolutely love to see:

•More hair colors— I miss the light brown and the straight-up white hair colors from previous titles!

•A variety of food items, like the burger meal or spaghetti dish from HHD/NL. I love the current food items, but I feel like there are too many desserts and not enough main dishes. I also loved the plate of cheese, the bread box, and the bag of groceries that we used to have.

•Please let us buy NMT in bulk. It takes so long to buy even just ten tickets at once!

•Something akin to Club Tortimer, where you can meet other players/play games together. Club Tortimer was 100% a mistake, full of chaotic kids and annoying hackers, but it was definitely fun haha.

•I’d also like more shops to visit... something similar to the city in CF, maybe? I miss a lot of the funky NPCs like Shrunk, Harriet, and Phineas.

•Most important one of all: let us sit on rocks again, Nintendo. Please

I would love it if the fish and bug tournaments for this year had new items.

A cute fish aquarium that has a few small fish swimming in it.
a frog alarm clock.
a beautiful butterfly bed
a spider web clock for the wall. We had this in New Leaf.
a firefly lamp
a red snapper sofa
Framed bug and fish pictures for the wall that can be customized with different bugs and fish
A dragon fly wall fan.
a great white shark coffee table
a dung beatle side table
a lady bug kitchen table
A jellyfish chair
an oarfish wall shelf that you can place a couple of items on.

I was just making up some things last minute, but I have a vision of that frog clock, and it's adorable. The framed pictures would be awesome too.

Also, remember the bug costumes in New Leaf? There was a caterpillar, ladybug, butterfly, and that's all I remember. I would like to see a honeybee one too.

Small wish:

Shelving - I'd love to have some shelf items that allow us to place stuff on them. We have sooo many cute small misc. items and I'd love to able to display them somewhere that isn't a table or stool.

Big wish:

Pocket Camp-esque terrain options - I just want to turn my island into a trippy Alice in Wonderland thing or a spooky Halloweentown; even if they just made them skins that we had to pay for or something, I'd love to be able to really personalize my island beyond just the layout and decorations.

Wildcards i guess:

Selling Blathers our extra fossils - He could basically be what Flick and CJ are for bugs and fish, and buy our extras at a premium once he's identified them. He could even take up model-making as a hobby and that can be how we get the little model dino skeletons!

The dead trees you'd get when a perfect fruit tree died - they're so perfect for a spooky/haunted town and I miss them

This is, like, BEYOND wishful thinking (but I did see some other posts wishing for similar features! So there’s hope!), but I would pay exorbitant amounts of money for a chance to go back to the city. City Folk was my... well, I got it and Wild World for the same Christmas, so I guess they’re both my first games? I digress. It’s super nostalgic for me, and it’d be an awesome way to reintroduce a bunch of old characters. When I say I shed a tear upon hearing Animal City play on my radio in NH, I’m not exaggerating. CF is such a special game for me.

Yeah I agree. Right now my island theme is city and I am trying to make it feel like the city in city folk but it's so hard☠

I wanna make a cave and be able to see further into the distance.

I know this will most likely never ever happen, but I thought it was so cool how in the GameCube version of AC you had another island to visit (with GBA connection). It would be so cool to have another small island to play around with. You could have another smaller house to work with as well as maybe one or two islanders that lived there. It would be nice to be able to try out a new theme on that island. Maybe they could even incorporate island exclusive bugs, fish, and fossils? Maybe even a new NPC that was exclusive to that island?

Again, I don't think we'll ever see something like that, but I think it would be so much fun!
