Changing Animal Crossing: City Folk

Well... many people have been complaining about how ACCF is pretty much the same as it's predecessors.

So if there is such a bad thing about being the same, what would you improve? 

How would you make ACCF a better game?

Just as they say, don't fix something that ain't broken.

It's obvious that since people liked the first two that they should keep on giving the thing that people want.

1. I would add more species of animals

2. I would make it so you cant get the same type of animal in your town (an example would be you can only get one cat, bog, etc in your town)

3. I would change the chore system back to how it was in the GC version

4. You can have 12 villagers (the GC version you had 15, the DS version you had 8, the Wii version you had 10)

5. Add more holidays like Valentine's Day and The Forth of July

6. Add more special events

7. Make it so that it exactly copys the wheater

Those things would be good!

No, you don't want to have the weather match the weather of where you live. Why? Well, if you live where I live, you have extended hot and extended cold with little to nothing in between. The season system is fine and I do enjoy how the weather does change during the day and it is different in each town.

Here's my list of changes I would add:

• A major increase in the furniture types and styles would be very nice
• An even bigger size to the house, including basements, attics, porches, etc.
• Possibly even a way to design how your house is built. Not necessarily to the level that The Sims does it.
• A greater variety of plants, like bushes.
• More neighbors in a town and have them do more things like getting better homes/items.
• Have a bigger town with more buildings (you can still have the city, but it's perfect for having more things in the town itself) and have them all have the ability to change (like Nook's)
• Bring back he fountain from Animal Crossing. I liked the way it looked.

Here's a small list that could have gone on forever if I didn't stop. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the Animal Crossing games, but there is so much untapped potential for the games.

any chance that some of these smaller changes will be made through Downloadable Content?

I don't think you'll see anything change radically, but the concept of bushes for the outside of the house, or more new furniture seems possible.

Well, that is true. But I'm sure that there are ideas floating around out there. 

Just as they say, don't fix something that ain't broken. It's obvious that since people liked the first two that they should keep on giving the thing that people want. pspfords

If everyone had that attitude, we'd be trying to drive cars with stone wheels, taking hefty dumps in outhouses, and sending each other this text by carrier pigeon.

I havent played it yet. But

I would say: Bigger village (more villagers, and more things to do) 

also a bigger house, with a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. 

umm thats all i can think of

- Add more stuff to the city.  There's only a handful of businesses there and some of them aren't even worth visiting.

- More furniture.  Ok, CF already has this, but I still keep getting ruby econo-chairs left and right.  Give me enough new furniture to make me notice that it's there right away.  Beat me over the head with it.  (Same with fish and bugs and clothes.)

- More dialogue!  I LOVE the writing in CF; probably the best in any AC game.  But I've had the game not even a week and one character has already asked my opinion on stretchy sweat pants SIX TIMES.

- Later business hours.  Not a lot to do after 10 p.m. when you can't sell your fish and fruit to Nook.  Tom should extend his business hours to 24 a day.

- Furniture editor.  It doesn't need to be complex, but let me build my own chairs and tables.  Let me put my patterns on things.  Let me upload these creations and sell them for bells.

But all that aside, I'm fine with City Folk the way it is.  It was never intended to bring the franchise in a new direction.  It was just Nintendo covering their bases and making sure there's an Animal Crossing game on both of their current platforms.

Why do they have to be hefty? :?

If not Nook being open 24 hours, have another store that is open during the night hours that just operates differently.

But yeah, there need to be more nightly institutions for those of us who only have the later hours of the day to dedicate to the game.

They could at least give the option.
