Worst feature in the game.

[HungryForCereal]

LOCKERS!
why should different lockers share the same items? If i have 2 lockers then one should be empty or be able to store its own items instead of sharing the contents of another locker. because of this, my town is like a landfill.

 

[Math]

Most of my peeves have already been mentioned, bad villager house placement, grass deterioration, displaying clothes instead of wearing them...

How about the needlessly complicated method of getting blue roses and purple pansies? I tried forever for blue roses before just giving up and buying a breeding pair and now I'm working on the pansies with no success and I can't help but wonder if everyone is just trolling me with this method of "hybrid red flowers" that aren't even slightly distinguishable from regular red flowers.

I also get annoyed by that, but the thing is that it's that annoying in real life. It's not like the letters or moving in; some flower colors are really hard to breed to, and walking constantly on the grass will make it deteriorate (though with the grass, it shouldn't be nearly as fast as it is in game). But where do they get that you HAVE to read every letter and toss them out one at a time? The houses would be nice if, like in real life, they need a building permit first, but then it would bring undo attention to how the old building gets perfectly destroyed overnight without warning. (though that makes me wish you could have a new villager move into an old house, or have some villagers dorm in your other rooms so they don't move away as easily)

Oh, gaah. I almost forgot about being unable to see how close you are to getting a badge, and sometimes even after you've fulfilled, he only gives you it the next day. Not to mention the ridiculously high number of dream villages you need to visit for gold.

 

[SkyDragneel77]

Villagers moving in where ever they please, villagers moving out w/o telling you (some people can't play for long periods of time, Nintendo), inventory space in lockers/dressers, lockers & dressers still being linked (there should be an option to link, if you need to get rid of say a closet but don't want to loose materials while still having not every container be the same), should have more room in pockets to hold patterns for clothes/paths, Redd doesn't have his own store, tanning issue, and... is it too much to complain that we can't design pants? Oh, and, grass not regrowing where a building was before.

 

[jcnorn]

The tutorials from both the villagers and the shopkeepers on how to use items, how to put away items, how to stack fruit. I know this already. It was good in to get during maybe the first month of playtime, but now I'm just tired of it. Don't need to hear it again!

Also, there should be a way to remove all rocks, they don't have to have gems or whatever inside them. It could be random, like the stumps having different patterns on occassion. On occassion there's a gem hidden inside. And then it'll 'grow' more rocks like every monday or something.

I would also love to have a tool to place out grass erosion, like, I love having paths with it, but I don't want the grass to start growing there again, or make the paths grow soooo big. A tool to place out paths, and then maybe there are a select few to choose from, like official paths. Think road-building in sim city-type. Choose the path, build the path, no houses placed on path. That way people not liking the designs can still use patterns, just not get some of the quirks of using official paths. I don't know. I'd love that.

most of my pet peeves have been mentioned already, but another thing that annoys me is how when playing online bug stalking doesn't show up on the other players' screens. it'd be pretty helpful to know when my friends are trying to catch a beetle or trying to do the net glitch.

also, it'd be nice to attatch multiple gifts to a letter.

oh, yeah, and a few more things:

-the merchant at the island paying you the actual price for the things you're selling and not one twentieth, whose idea was that
-different storage furniture in your house leading to different spaces. although i guess having them all lead to the same space is pretty convenient too

 

[ZetaFunction]

There's a few features I consider the worst, I can't choose just one.

~ Villagers moving in/moving out without my notice, and not being able to choose where they plot. I've lost so much stuff due to it being smashed, and I don't want to place my Police Station down until my town is relatively finished so I know where to set it, so I can't even recover the stuff.
~ Lack of storage. Seriously, they need more if they're going to add so much stuff into the game.
~ Streetpass stuff being so hard to get. When you live in the middle of no where and you never take your 3DS out of your house, you end up never getting any. I've had to buy every streetpass item I own because of it.

EDIT: ALSO! Grass deterioration. Maybe add the ability to grow/remove grass as another item from the gardening shop. I hate it how paths take forever to grow back

 

[daynapapaya]

Not being able to put down my 3rd bridge anywhere in my town because all my permanent PWPs are 4 spaces away from the river and the bridge requires 5 whole freaking spaces

 

[Melchoir]

Grass deterioration. Not being able to choose where villagers can put their houses. Awkward PWP placement. Villagers not telling you when they want to leave. Not being able to see where visitors are on the town map. The constant tutorials when you buy things.

[Dorian]

Agreed. Random move-outs are the worst

 

[s11267]

I don't like surveillance facility. I think it's not very useful because it doesn't remind you before quitting, but telling you that you can't recover everything from that point.

 

[Envy]

The variety of lines that villagers had to say didn't seem all of that much better than in City Folk, and that's really not good.

Otherwise, this game requires too much patience for me. Too much is too random and up to chance, whereas I just can't keep interest in the game long enough anymore. If this was 12 years ago and it was my first AC, I'm sure it would have been a blast... But I guess I'm too old now. I really wanted to at least get the Police Station, but I never got a request for it, and that annoys me.

 

[Belle of Pripyat]

I agree with so many things I've read here:

Streetpass move-ins
Grass deterioration
Limited locker space
Shirts/bugs/fish placed in their rooms
Not enough control over where PWP go

Don't get me wrong; I love this game. It's my favorite game and I just don't get tired of it. It could be better, though...

[HMCaprica]

lets see I am sure they have all been mentioned but here are mine:
not enough storage space in pockets. I want to be able to hold more items when i am doing trades and my envelopes usually have my tools as i have no where else to put them because my inventory is full with other things from my shops.
limited on pwp's you can only have thirty and this bugs the heck out of me. Especially when you want to make your town the best it cant be, also I don't like a lot of the modern pwp's so that bugs me to. I want a LOT more variety.
Villagers just moving in to wherever they want. If you don't do the reset trick your screwed if they decide to ruin a park full of flowers or patterns on the ground.
Space limitations between pwp's clearly they can adjust this in the next game as when i was putting one of my parks together I couldn't put certain pwp's next to each other making it unbalanced because they have to be so far apart from each other. Drove me nuts. I finally was able to get the park to a decent enough park to my liking but it still to this day has one topiary off from the other and there is nothing I can do about it.
there are a few more but those are my top ones.

 

[cats_toy]

I agree with most everything here but one of pet peeves, no way to view your town other than straight in front of you. If I can rotate the camera inside my house why can't I do this outside. It can be a real pain in the butt to place PWP's or landscaping when you can't see all around you.

 

[SensaiGallade]

Character customisation options need to be improved. Like you should be able to pick your face and hair style and skin tone like in HHD. Also you should be able to interact more with villagers like in HHD. Villagers moving out without you knowing is the worst though.

 

[dizzy bone]

Streetpass move ins, pwp placements, no skin tone option, pattern placing.. pretty much everything covered here.
