How Animal Crossing Houses Changed and Evolved Over The Years 

The fact pocket camp has more furniture than all the animal crossing games.

The fact that the side rooms in your house in New Horizons aren't expandable always made me mad, they feel so tiny. 😠

My favorite house is absolutely the one you can get in New Leaf. Besides just being really big, the exterior stuff was really cool, and I remember how proud of myself kid me was when I got the entire exterior of my house gold. The customization of the New Leaf house, along with the flag of the City Folk house would be the perfect Animal Crossing house in my opinion.

I'm not in the habit of resetting my towns, but that feeling of a fresh 4x4 house and starting to collect furniture is my favourite part of any AC game 🥰

I mean, there is one single way to customize the attic: switch up the beds! I swear, I was absolutely amazed when I found this out as a little kid playing Animal Crossing, same with the inventory background. But I was sooo attached to the first bed I ever owned in the game and my inventory dress that I kept them in a special spot lol.

3:46 Fun fact: You actually can change the bed that you sleep on in the attic. If you have a bed in your inventory and press A on your bed in the attic, you can switch it with any bed that you're carrying.

Running most of the AC games at the same time, the GameCube and City Folk houses suddenly felt extremely limiting. No side rooms to plan out here, just a single second floor and a junk basement.

In the original n64 version. the biggest house was a 1-story 8x8 house. The 8x8 basement and 6x6 2nd floor were added in the gamecube ports

In wild world, you are able to swap out which bed your character uses by having a bed in your inventory, I believe.

New Leaf I loved being able to decorate the outside and inside of the house plus it had more than enough complete furniture sets to have specific themes to your house......Yes I'm still salty they didn't bring back the sweets furniture set

I didn't think the narrow rooms had anything to do with Pocket Camp, I always thought they were taking a page from Happy Home Designer. Either way I hate it, I wanted a huge square room on all sides and attic/basement like New Leaf. New Leaf was the most fun to decorate, I was always collecting furniture sets that I liked and even created a second character to display them. I don't think I'll ever get over losing furniture sets, that was a lot of magic lost for me.

It's impressive how you come up with new Animal Crossing topics. Love to see it ❤

There was one thing you could customise in Wild World's attic - the beds. Also you could sort of choose where the house went? Like the vague area of where it is anyway. When Kappn asks you what you most want to see in your town, how you answer will place the house near the shops, beach, museum, town hall or town gate. so yeah a couple of things you missed there

There is an option to customize the house a tiny bit in the original AC. You could put a design that you made over the window of the front door and if I recall correctly you would get a butterfly crest and a fish weathervane for completing the museum... though that might have been in later games, I need to check my town from back then.

You can customise the attic bedroom in wild world!.. kind of. You can switch out the standard beds with other ones, if I remember rightly!

You do have some influence over the player house's location in Wild World, but it's a bit obtuse if you don't know the option exists. It's based on how you answer Kapp'n during the opening cab ride when he asks what drew you to the town: the beach, the town hall, the shopping, the border, or the museum. Whichever one you pick will determine the general vicinity the player house spawns in, so for example if you pick "border" you'll be near to the edge of town by the gate, and if you choose "shopping" you'll be closer to the stores, and so on.

i really do like your content, Elijah. you’re SO fun to listen to and i like the way you pace your work. hope you continue to do this - your passion and love is so evident, and you and your channel deserve the attention and growth!!!

Starting with New Leaf, Nook won't insist you expand your house anymore. He'll suggest them, sure, but he won't expand or add rooms unless you ask him to.

Took me way too long to realize I could move my mailbox in new horizons...

I was shocked when I accidentaly picked up my mailbox in nh while changing my doorplate. It's still a pretty cool touch, you can put it outside a gate or with the money dispenser and storage closet. It leaves *room* for imagination

New Leaf has the best choices of houses in the game. And i do agree that City Folk is under appreciated. Nintendo should port City Folk to the Nintendo Switch. Its among the Animal Crossing games i never played along with the Gamecube one.

New leaf homes are amazing to me, but I still prefer my new horizons

I agree that City Folk is under-appreciated. I wish Nintendo would port ACCF to Switch

16:29 a refrigerator should I get changed 💀

Still need to be able to place furniture on a diagonal and bring back gracies 🙈

you can customize the attic in wild world in one way- you can change the beds! have one in your inventory and I you should be able to change it! I didn't know it growing up but revisiting the game when i was older I figured it out!

i think there should be an attic in acnh but it fills up with boxes depending on how much storage you have

the videos are really genuis and i’m impressed every time

3:45 actually I'm pretty sure if you bring a bed in there with you and interact with the end of your bed you can swap it out :D

You can change the bed in the attic (at least in city folk)

words cannot express how much i miss the size of the new leaf houses 🤧

In new leaf cant you get rooms at the museum to decorate?

Your vid’s are epic!!

3:45 in fact.. you can change the beds though! You can replace your bed to any other bed! Works in Wild World and City Folk

In wild world you can actually choose if you would like your home near cliffs or beach or river, its just very subtle

Pocket camp's unique variety of furniture and huge amount of custimizable space has always been INSANE.

I love this videos

The only difference between acgc and accf is you can use wallpapers and carpets in the basement in city folk

Fun fact if you have a bed in your pocket in animal crossing City Folk and you press a on the foot of the bed it gives you the choice to change your bed

Ok, that does it. I'm firing up my DS and playing New Leaf again. It deserves a replay

You forgot to mentiom that new leaf also had the 4 additional full sized rooms in the museum

Keep in mind that New Horizons also has wall and ceiling furniture

Nice

10:35 That's not an RV, that's one of those big Murrican "trailor homes". An RV would be so much smaller if you had it proportionally sized to real life. Then again, the lanes of their roads might be absurdly wide like 6 meters or some sh!1.

Best animal crossing RU-vidr

I am SO delighted you exist and can be on the hill of ‘City Folk is wonderful, you guys are just mean’ with me. It’s so lonely over here, man 😂

Lol I remember grinding on pocket camp upgrading my RV

12:00 Harvey’s island

Embarrassingly my favorite animal crossing game is happy home designer 🙈 if i have to chose a mainline one new leaf

Woah im early

I’m really early

I wish it was that easy to get a house irl 🫠 I’ll take debt forever over relying on roommates! I like my current roommates but I still want my own home. Even if it’s an apartment or trailer
