A thread about the video game series Animal Crossing

I love the first game so much. WW is great, too.

New Leaf > AC Deluxe = City Folk Deluxe > New Horizons > City Folk > AC > Wild World

fuck you city folk rocks

I played the shit out of the gamecube one as a kid but I can't go back to it after playing E+ in Japanese. The localized snooty villagers are so flanderized they don't even feel like the same characters.

>>720161621 (OP)
New Leaf is childhood.

what kind of soup is this I want to make it

what's ac deluxe

Skye is a normal wolf villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. She is the only normal wolf in the series.

A mod for Animal Crossing GC that adds all of the stuff from the Japanese versions (including the original N64 version and beta stuff) and tons of QOL changes like being able to skip Nook's part-time job/tutorial, give unidentified fossils to Blathers, access the island without a GBA, play the inaccessible NES games, wide-screen mode, seamless acre transitions, tool shortcuts maximum year going from 2030 to 2099, bug fixes, etc.
City Folk Deluxe is another mod with similar goals btw. It adds hundreds of new villagers, unused and DLC-only furniture and region-exclusive holidays.

>>720162034
who the fuck doesnt like wild world..?? did you not have siblings to play with anon

>>720162001
I've been replaying the first game on my chinkheld. Unrivaled atmoshere and dialogue. There's just something about the top-down camera and more forest-like aesthetic I love, what with the dirt patches and leave piles and all.
I enjoy the later entries too but something about them feels off when it comes to the world scale. The trees in city folk were really fuckin small

Beau is a lazy deer villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. His name means "handsome" in French. His catchphrase refers to a salt lick, a place wildlife go to lick mineral nutrients from a deposit of salts and other minerals.

>>720166983
>His name means "handsome" in French.
Do Frenchmen really have such low standards?

>>720166783
We played the GC game first. WW was a huge downgrade in every way. It's only advantage was being portable. City Folk was like WW+, with most of the stuff missing from ACGC back.

>>720167094
what do you mean?

>>720162034
Villagers in NL are even more lobotomized than in NH

>>720166570
what the fuck I'd never heard of this, is it related to the decompilaiton

Why do humans villagers have to wear pants but the animals don't?

>>720162034
AC > WW > Horizons > New Leaf> City Folk

>>720166570
oh that sounds cool thanks

>>720167772
More or less. The guy behind the GC mod (Cuyler) is also involved in the decompilation project.
>I'd never heard of this
Because the fucking nigger walled the mod behind a discord server and doesn't have an official site or thread with DL links on any forum. You need to join the server to get the files every time they release an update. That's my sole gripe with the mod.
At least the CF mod has an official website with downloads and instructions at https://aurumsmods.com/accfdeluxe/

>>720168240
well that's gay I hope its not a paytreon server

>>720168395
Nah, you can search "Animal Crossing Deluxe" on google or youtube and get the server link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSmlCC0pRD4
I have a hateboner for accounts and always use fake accs with temporary mails to download updates but lately the mail provider I use have been blacklisted by shitscord, so if you're willing to join that server I'd appreciate if you uploaded the most recent patch and changelog to catbox. I could even share a prepatched ISO in exchange.

>>720164170
find a chowder recipe that stands out to you

>>720169085
Okay here you go and thanks for the info
https://files.catbox.moe/86p34d.xdelta

PATCH 30.1,
BUGFIXES,
The e+ furniture items now have prices. I forgot to set the prices in the last update.,
You will no longer get the April Fool's day notice every week. I forgot to update the message of the week index.,
New towns will now start with the town flag by the station. In the previous patch, only upgraded saves would receive the town flag.,

>>720161621 (OP)
Animal Crossing was better before New Leaf when the fandom was mostly dorks and lesbians. Normies and furries ruined the comfy vibes, now everything Animal Crossing related is either garbage or lewd bullshit.
>inb4 revisionist groomers show up to deny history (they didn't play back in the day and their narrative is deranged)

>>720169516
>PATCH 30.1,
Damn, I'm on v29. Can you post the changelog of v30?
Here's a prepatched ISO as promised btw: https://files.catbox.moe/jua8pd.iso
You can toggle the widescreen and free camera features during KK's introduction.

>>720170048
My first one was city folk and yeah it was mostly women online. They weren't lesbian though. The fun thing about City Folk is that if you modded in custom items or villager textures, the players visiting your town would see that shit. There was a mod to replace the axe with a lightsaber.
>>720170360
Thanks! Here's the v30 changelog (it's huge)
https://pastebin.com/S1cszWcr

>>720170780
>Thanks! Here's the v30 changelog
Thank you.
>Gender has been split from sex. When creating a new character, select 'It's complicated' to swap the gender for the sex chosen. Swapping the gender will make dialogue use the desired gendered option. It will also swap the head model used. For patch 30 only you can hold Z and press L to swap your character's gender, and hold Z and press R to swap your character's sex.,
Ugh. At least he added the remaining stuff from e+ that was missing in previous versions.

>>720171483
>Gender has been split from sex.
nigger what
i don't even see the point, what would having a male sex and a female gender even achieve, wouldn't it just be the same as picking female

>>720172665
>what would having a male sex and a female gender even achieve
Trap villagers. While in NL and NH you can wear anything regardless of your sex, in previous games tops would automatically turn into dresses when worn by female villagers. With this change (I assume) you can now make a femboy villager that wears dresses or a tomboy that wears shorts and still be referred as he or she by other characters.

5AM is my wake up alarm music
8PM is my "put kid to bed" alarm
5PM is my main ringtone
I love AC music every hour every day

>>720167862
The animals never learned shame and just wear shirts for pure self expression

>>720162034
AC is meant to be played in a comfy bed or in a car ride. I can't stand playing it on a stationary console. Especially City Folk with icky wiimote controls. Like if I'm gonna boot up a Wii back then I would rather play Smash or Mario Kart.

>>720173895

>>720175481
Animal Crossing is better when you could dedicate an hour at the TV with your neighbors than micromanage your chores throughout the day.

listen I just like audie alright dont make it weird

>https://youtu.be/se7iaIfFdoQ
I like GC's soundtrack the best, it's a little more rustic sounding and uses more interesting percussion

>>720161621 (OP)
Deconpilation can't be completed soon enough

>>720168240
I thought the final release was supposed to be public

I've restarted my NH island a week ago it's really fun actually I've gotten some of my favourites and I've been catching all sorts of fish
I get alot of nostalgia whenever I see a villager I used to have in my WW and NL towns

Best season and why is it winter?

>>720179386
Here's a pic I took of Mac photobombing O'Hare.I love these guys! I'm trying to get Rowan and Faith so that I can have the orignial isladers from the in my island lol(I'd get Bud too but I already got Elvis and I like making my towns be all different animals)

>>720179978
Looks like the Norf FC guy photobombing a pakistani to say something racist

>>720179278
I don't see why he can't make public the current WIP releases like other mods do, or at least upload the patches somewhere else.

>>720162034
Screw your stewpid deluxe version. I want a finished translation of e+, not this scum with constant updates and amateur bugs. It needs to be long settled before I even think to touch it.

>decomp almost 100%
>still would need to wait for a PC port
>and then still would need to wait for something substantial enough to warrant playing the PC port like with SM64
sigh

I made Ruby say the n-word as her catchphrase back in wild world and nowadays it's my headcanon that she's a white supremacist

>>720182785
I think the e+ translation was initially only attempted because back then it wasn't common for entire games to be reverse engineered. Now it makes the most sense to decompile the north american gamecube version and just port the e+ content into it.

you guys ever made custom villagers? You can mod them in the Gamecube/3DS games easily

>>720161621 (OP)
>Mac
my nigga

>>720183997
I did some sprite edits in City Folk for a little series, when it was the latest AC title.

Started playing NH casually again after having dropped it for a while. Villagers say it's been 6 months, which feels crazy to me. I'd forgotten I was trying to get blue roses. The fact the devs went with real-life plant genetics is fucking nuts. Felt good seeing my girl Petri again. She'd better make it to the next game so I can have her in my town from the beginning instead of at the end of the game's life cycle.

>>720162461
what does it do better than Wild World?

It's officially my waifu's birthday on the east coast
https://files.catbox.moe/7eg57z.png

Just make a dating sim already

>>720187660
Congrats on your girl's birthday, neat coincidence that someone made a thread. Fucking love that artist, wish they'd draw my mouse.

I know its never going to happen but man do I wish they would make official pc ports for AC and release them on steam. Even older ones like Wild World or New Leaf would be cool.

>>720187312
CF is basically WW+. It has the same graphics and UI as Wild Worlds but in HQ, and it brought back most of the stuff that was cut in Wild Worlds (villagers, furniture, real holidays, cliffs), but some people dislike it because it "didn't innovate enough" compared to WW and GC, because it moved some special visitors to a city plaza that is always accessible, and because it introduced a mechanic named "grass deterioration" where walking in the same places frequently causes the grass to wear away.

>>720161621 (OP)
did anyone play the game how it was intended, or did we all cheat?

>>720165461
>Shichu
Lmao Japanese is such an awful language.

>>720189557
I know I always cheated the clock.
I never used any of the codes at nooks shop that gave you money and stuff though.

>>720189557
Cheating never crossed my mind, as the whole point of the game was to just be a chill thing to come home to. I knew it happened, but I'm never in any hurry to "beat" an AC game, even all these years later.

>>720161621 (OP)
Are you a woman?

>>720189557
What do you mean with cheating? Time traveling? I never did that

>>720188027
>wish granted
>it's a patreon never ever
I'm not joking, the dude who made it showed the male characters as female, starting with Rover

I like decorating outside but everything else is worse in new AC games.
The villagers have more samey, tamed down personalities because anxiety riddled modern gamers and women would have a nervous breakdown if one was rude to them.
The mayor/god complex gameplay is completely unnecessary and only there because control freak modern gamers and women would have a panic attack if they couldnt micromanage every single little aspect about their virtual dolls.
Crafting sucks. Its only there to pad early game busywork.
Having a smartphone is antisoul.
Nook is basically gone.
Villager Trading exists and so a black market popped up for it creating an economy and putting values to what should just be your neighbors that youre stuck with. Before we had to make due and grow to love them, now you do shit like go on discord and find whoever you want to go pick up. They even ask permission to leave from you because once again, its a dollhouse for neurotic control freaks.
Isabelle is a DEI hire and Pelly and Phyllis lost their jobs because of her.

Best gamecube emulator?

Animal crossing should have a cheat code that turns the villagers giant.

>>720197304
Is this what I think it is?

>>720199187
Oh no...

>>720161621 (OP)
Are they making a new one for Switch 2? What do we think?

animal crossing will be shit until they give the sheep villagers their scarves back

>>720196928
And weight gain mechanics, and a belly rubbing minigame, and marriage.

>>720170780
>The fun thing about City Folk is that if you modded in custom items or villager textures, the players visiting your town would see that shit. There was a mod to replace the axe with a lightsaber.
why would they see that. why would the game share models like that, it isn't a CS server

I'm really in the mood for AC

>Norma camping out today in my town
What a cutie!

>"Animal Crossing"
>doesn't have animal crossbreeding
i am very disappointed

>>720189510
I still prefer WW just because the DS's low pixelated res makes it look cuter

>>720200129
Based as fuck.

Statistically speaking, this thread is 90% women.

Which AC has the most focus on villager interaction? Love the vibe of this series but did not enjoy the build focus of the last one, or are they all like that?

>>720208090
Gamecube because of the "task" feature that lets you do stuff for them
but honestly none of them are that character heavy
People complain about NH but ALL the games have this issue of the villagers getting repetitive and dull
but ig at least the "rude" dialogue from older games is charming because of the juxtaposition

>>720189510
Grass Deterioration is one of those mechanics which I'm baffled was actually put into the game, not cut, and remained for another generation before finally getting cut. It feels like punishment for playing too regularly

to anybody who "ascended" last night, can you tell us if you got anything cool out of it? like some furniture or something?
