OneAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayer caught their villager in a bad mood, but that very quickly changed when they noticed the player nearby. As everyAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsisland can have up to 10 villagers, players are often somewhat picky about who they’d like to choose to keep as a permanent resident. With each character having their own personality type, from Sporty to Peppy,there’s something to love about every unique animal.

Sharing a sweet video on Reddit, the playeridreamofstrawberriesstumbled across one of their villager’s villagers, Teddy, in quite a bad mood. Stomping his feet and with smoke steaming from his ears, the villager couldn’t have been more unhappy. But as he got closer to the player watching him on the game’s in-game camera,Teddy’s face lightened up into a giant smile and enthusiastic wave.

Our Take: Villager Interactions Are The Sweetest Part of ACNH

Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis packed with hundreds of potential villagers andthe island space for 10 at a time, allowing players to find their permanent favorites or cycle out many over time to meet them all. With such differing personality types and interactions with the player across the board, theplayer can experience a variety of sweet opportunitiesto engage with every animal. However,despite there being so many differing types of villagers, many of the personality types can often feel the exact same.

With most Peppy villagers giving very similar dialogue, for example,players might feel a little disappointed that each character isn’t slightly more unique. Previous games likeAnimal Crossing: New Leafsaw a lot more diverse interaction, and it’s unfortunate thatAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsisn’t the same. With that said, there are still manysweet interactions that the game does offer, and plenty of adorably designed characters to love regardless.
