I’m an alpha male, but like, in software terms

So someone asked what ACNH was missing

And I started typing things and it just. kept. getting. longer. So I thought I’d share it here for all to see what most veteran AC players expected from ACNH as a full priced product on the release date. (Strikeout for things that got added in ACNH 2.0 update, but there’s still a lot of improvement to be made imo!)

Villagers used to have a lot more quests for you like 3-4 villagers play hide and seek around your town, fetch quests from each other that sometimes became a chain quest to find a missing lunchbox thrice loaned out, or some tasks akin to Nook miles ones for specific fish, or furniture of a certain size.

They could also ask to visit your house at a set time and they’d come in and comment and wander round or they could invite you to theirs and sell you some of the furniture on display.

There was mini-games to play with friends (or random players), at an island that was permanently summer, so good fish/bugs/diving all year round. Each day had 3-4 varieties of mini-games out of about 20. Some were just catch a lot of bugs/fish, but there was also random villager hide and seek, collecting ore, finding furniture in houses around a random island, pop balloons, find fruit hidden in a maze and even smashing a rogue lawnmower with hammers.

There would be several smaller events each month in town instead of just the one fishing tourney, and whatever nintendo has you download that month. Things like mothers/fathers day, labor day, various region exclusive holidays to encourage you to visit people for items. Villagers would talk about these.

There was also more than just your campsite for visitors. (and those campers played like 4 different games, not just guess the card and gave some good items including a camping series). There was a campervan site where holiday and NPCs would turn up and have different items you could only buy with an equivalent to nook miles. And you could also scan amiibo to that and then you could potentially have a NPC, a villager campervan and also a camper all at once. Your most recent 16 (well 5th-16th, the latest 4 didn’t show) villagers to move out would sometimes visit the shopping district.

You also had the town where each day you could get your fortune told, see a comedy show for a new emotion, see KK perform daily, whatever Lyle done I can't remember, and visit a homes showcase with up to 48 other players houses where you could order some of their furniture each day. (also had the museum/nooklings/ables/post office/hairdressers/kicks and leif permanently.)

Then in the main town instead of nooklings you had a flea market shop where you customised furniture or sold things to villagers/bought their stuff instead of them just throwing in recycle bin.

Also like everyone used the in game chat /messaging even if you weren't visiting each other. felt a lot more like a social media chat, and you'd regularly arrange to trade over it or visit friends to play games/whatever. Which honestly I probably miss that community vibe most. - ACNH has this but it’s so clunky I don’t know anyone that uses it, it used to just be on the touchscreen.

As mayor you could set town ‘ordinances’ so your shops could open/close 3 hours earlier/later if it suits your lifestyle. Or you could have it so the flowers didn’t wilt or need watering, or have items sell for 20% more. ACNLs were better tho! The main shops standard time was until 11pm, so with night owl, until 2am!

You had 'perfect' fruit which was good to sell in other towns, which kept a rotation of visitors going. (and there was like 5 more exotic fruits as well.)

You could do a little 10 minute mini game making coffee for your villagers/random villagers you don't have and npcs for some coffee shop items. The cafe would have npcs visit and chat about their lives outside of work (CF also had npcs tell you about their lives and how they knew each other in little annual side quest stories.)

Raffelsia, gone are the days where being overrun with weeds left you with a new Vileplume decoration.

Snowman Variety. Used to have a whole snowfamily to build, each with it’s own tasks and set of furniture to collect.

After rainy days you could get 3 gyroids buried in town (out of 128 to collect and store in the cafe) and also visit Resetti in his 'reset centre'.

There was also a police station which largely functioned as the recycle bin, but they’d also give far more useful daily news than Isabelle if you visited.

Some of the main buildings in town could also have their exteriors redesigned in a few different styles. (largely matching existing bridge styles) Don’t like your green airport, make it red... or fairytale themed!

You could buy fortune cookies with random nintendo items daily - bought at the cost of 200 steps with the 3ds as a pedometer.

You had 4 empty rooms in museum to decorate however you wanted.

Nooklings upgraded 4 times eventually having an additional high-end seasonal store on the top floor, with very expensive luxury items.

Nooks store on the gamecube, also ran a monthly raffle of rare items. You got tickets for purchases through the month, and on the last day used the tickets to try to win prizes.

Friend-Travelling NPCs. Encouraging multiplayer interaction more, you and a friend may have one half of a mother and daughter duo to reunite by visiting each other. Or Blanca could show up with a face a friend had drawn for her.

Still got extra bells after getting the luxury items? Wild World also had the entirely not fictional town of boondox who would take charitable donations up to like 6 million bells? and send you some small gifts in return.

You could play panel de pon and "desert island escape" in your house if you owned a 3ds or wii u item. - island escape was actually pretty good and had like 15 hours of content!

Also just the fact there was like 4 times the furniture in the game just really helped. (largely sets related to things above, a lot of campervan items which had lots of food, and also gems to customise some things, and miniature fossil models made from your spare fossils.) Idk where the final totals are now, I imagine it’s comparable, but I do know the sets that returned are all like only half the sets. 6/11 items per returning set from what I can see! Also the real tragedy is the loss of the chess set, number lamps and the 4 high end series (cards, princess, Gracie and expensive sets)

And let's not forget the most requested thing to return from the gamecube - footballs that you could freely kick around town.

And the most requested feature from the DS - Drawing your own constellations in the sky.

And the completly never requested thing that I just personally miss, Different shapes in the grass. Squares came back but not available on main island

Honourably mentions here: In the spin-off Happy Home Designer, we also had ceiling items, and door and window decorations, which seem a very weird omission in NH. We have different and better windows now BUT you have no choice in using them, it is entirely dependant on the wallpaper used. We also have door flooring designs, but no door handings/doors like HHD had. So partial points here?

Things like different land types (there was a desert-ish area) and like the hospital and things you could design in HHD, I’m not surprised we don’t have, but I also wouldn’t have been surprised if at least some of these HHD things returned. - personally after the NH direct saying about your first 2 villagers settling into island life with you, I thought we’d get the chance to upgrade villager houses like HHD. Definitely had aspects of this return, but there’s a lot more untapped potential in these that would have been great to see in a proper sequal.

And slightly contentious, but the mobile game Pocket Camp has some features which really should come to ACNH. Like wigs, a billion more flower types. loads of furniture, and I would love monthly events like gyroidite hunting, weird migrational fish tourneys, and gardening bug events to be a thing to give that feel of there always being something going on. Though maybe only have these every other week, if they’re going to be week long!

Artober 2020, Day 8: Missing Features

(Prompt by @theblueinyoursky )

Billie is a cursed man who lost his skin this curse. As curse cannot be undone Billie learned to life with it, using bandages on his body mostly of the time.

It feels like the camera button on the new iPhone 17 is missing a lot off potential features, like controlling volume or brightness. Or maybe sliding it up could do the same thing as swiping up from the bottom when unlocking the phone, that sort of thing

In the end, the refund requet from Procreate Dreams is refused. Oh well.

Need to edit your defined names in Excel 2016 for Mac?  No need to search the Office help site, you won’t find Mac instructions.  The short answer is that there isn’t a name manager button on the formula ribbon.  The work around is to hold CMD+FN+F3
