Today, we’re jumping back to some Animal Crossing Lore, this time surrounding the Personality types of Villagers.

Now Animal Crossing New Horizons, and the past titles are full of interesting facts, back stories, and hidden details you may not know. For example, only Jock or Big Sister villagers can be your 2 starting Villagers in New Horizons, which I’m sure you knew, but did you know the next 3 are always Peppy, Normal and Lazy… in that order… It’s pretty interesting.

Speaking of Villager Personality types, there is another very interesting phenomenon that the Personality of several Animals has actually changed. It’s true, there are 18 Animal Crossing villagers, that at some point or another have had their Personalities switched to a different type. This typically occurs when a new Animal Crossing game is released…

With that out of the way, here is every Personality Change, in Animal Crossing.

Big Sister

I thought we’d highlight these as their new Personalities Types, and of course probably the ones you recognise them to be! So, what better place to start than Big Sister, given you will always encounter one, when you first start a new Island. There are six Big Sister Villagers in Animal Crossing. They are Sylvia, Ursula, Paula, Charlise, Plucky and Faith, and in previous games, their respective Personality Types are different.

The characters of Sylvia and Ursula have always been Snooty in the past. But when they returned to New Leaf, their personalities became Big Sister. Paula, Charlise and Plucky used to be Peppy, but again returned to New Leaf as Big Sister.

And Faith was originally a Normal Koala, and after being missing from several instalments of Animal Crossing, returned to New Horizons as Big Sister. We’ll discuss why these changes occurred towards the end of the article, but it’s not really surprising to know Big Sister Villagers saw some of the most changes, given it is the least common Personality Type.

Cranky

Next up, we have Cranky Villagers. As far as I know, there are three villagers of this Personality Type. Likewise, their previous Personality Types were not like this. These include, Harry, T-Bone and Dobie.

Harry is the second Villager whose Personality has changed so far. He was a Jock Villager before. But after returning to Animal Crossing City Folk again, his Personality became Cranky. And T-Bone and Dobie were previously Lazy, before returning to New Leaf as Cranky. Until New Leaf, it wasn’t common to change Personality Types, but 3 Villagers do pre-date this game, with Harry being one of them.

Jock

Speaking of Personality Changes that pre-date modern Animal Crossing games, we have 1 Jock Villager. Although Rowan’s previous Personality Type was not what it is now, it is certain that he is now the only villager that has become a Jock.

Rowan once was a Cranky, but when he returned to Wild World, he was switched to Jock.

Furthermore, it’s not surprising to know only 1 Villager was changed to Jock, given Jock is the most common Personality Type.

Smug

Next up, we have Smug Villagers. In total, there are 7 Smug Villagers as you know them now, who started out with different Personalities, and they are O’Hare, Curlos, Ed, Leopold, Kidd, Huck and Roswell. By the way, you can decorate them with ACNH Items if you like.

O’Hare and Curlos debuted in Animal Crossing with the Cranky Personality Type, before returning to New Leaf as Smug. Ed and Leopold, were originally Jock, but once again returned to New Leaf as Smug. And Kidd, Huck and Roswell debuted as Lazy Villagers, before switching to Smug.

All of these Villagers saw Personality Changes in New Leaf, except for Roswell, who returned to New Horizons as a Smug, after being absent from the Series for several games.

Second to Big Sister, the Smug Personality Type is the least common, so it makes sense it saw some of the most changes. Snooty.

Now, Snooty is another Personality Type that only saw 1 change. Violet the Gorilla, who debuted in e+ is of course a Snooty Villager. However, she originally had the Peppy Personality Type, and it wasn’t until she returned to City Folk, she become Snooty.

Violet was only 1 of 2 Villagers to see a Personality Change in City Folk. Making her and Harry the joint-second Personality Changes, overall, after Rowan.

Reasons

Now, in total there have been 18 Personality Changes over the years, with 1 in Wild World, 2 in City Folk, 8 in New Leaf, 5 in Welcome Amiibo and 2 in Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Interestedly, as of editing this article, there isn’t a single Lazy, Normal or Peppy Villager right now that used to have a different personality types.

Now, there are 3 primary reasons for the changes that did happen, though. The first reason is that those who were originally Islanders became residents before appearing in future games.

The second reason is that the new Personality Types were filled after Smug and Big Sister were introduced in New Leaf. And the third being an attempt at balancing some of the Villager Types and Personality Types. To this day, Jock and Normal Villagers are the most common, and Smug and Big Sister are the least common.

In Animal Crossing New Horizons, in addition to celebrating some festive events, on ordinary days, you need to do a series of tasks to keep your island in order, keep the island fresh, and let the flowers bloom. This series of tasks are very interesting. Of course, there are also some tasks that make players very frustrated.

In ACNH, you need to find bottles and shells on the beach every day, go shopping, chasing down seasonal fish, bugs and special event items, such as Maple Leaves in November.

After peeking the hottest items of the day in Nook's Cranny and new sweaters or hats in Able Sisters, you are about to accept tasks that are not very interesting of the day.

Hunting down villagers

You need to hunt down every villager to make sure you're still active. In fact, this is a particularly annoying task because the villagers are always moving and often hiding behind trees.

Looking for dig spots

You need to find all the fossils for the museum and other hidden objects, and even for them to find dig spots, so if you haven't asked Tom Nook to install bridges and stairs in more remote places on your island, this task will be a pretty big adventure for you. You can only rely on a ladder and a pole-vault to move.

Shaking Trees

This may be the worst daily task. If you are looking for two daily pieces of furniture hidden on the branches, as well as the acorns and pine cones needed for the fall DIY recipe, you need to shake the tree, which will be accompanied by a lot of dangers. You may be stung by wasps or buried alive by too many branches.

Getting certain crafting items

In ACNH, who wouldn't like looking for rare sea creatures or fishing? But before that, you need to get some crafting items or hidden furniture pieces, which is torture!

But fortunately, it will not take us too long. We can do what we want most of the time, and if you want, you can abandon all the daily tasks and do other things, such as visiting your friends' island, which means you can't access all the contents available in the game, but who cares? your happiness is the first thing.

In fact, most players do daily tasks to get as many ACNH Bells as possible. If you don't want to spend time doing tasks to get ACNH Bells, you can come to IGGM to buy Animal Crossing Bells.

And, you can buy the corresponding quantity according to your needs. Although Halloween has been a long time ago, you can still enjoy a 60% discount! So if you need it, go to IGGM to buy now!

Attention! All Animal Crossing New Horizons players in the northern hemisphere, you may have to get busy again, because the mushroom season has arrived. Throughout November, 5 types of mushrooms will appear. Mushrooms differ in rarity, so there will be different spawning rates, depending on the star rating of your island.

You can use these mushrooms to get DIY items and use them to decorate your island. You can create 12 kinds of items with mushrooms. If you don't like some DIY items, you can sell mushrooms directly. A rare mushroom can be sold for 16,000 bells.

At least 8 of the DIY items are decorations or furniture, and the rest are wallpapers or flooring. If you happen to meet villagers who are crafting these items, you can get recipes from them. So in November, you need to visit your villagers as often as possible.

Once you have the recipes, you can craft the following items:

Furniture

Mush Lamp: a skinny mushroom, 5 clay

Mush Table: 2 flat mushrooms, 6 wood

Mush Partition: put 3 skinny mushrooms together to make a fence

Mush Parasol: 3 flat mushrooms

Mush Log: 2 skinny mushrooms, a log stool

Mush Low Stool: 2 round mushrooms

Mush Umbrella: 3 flat mushrooms

Mushroom Wand: 3 skinny mushrooms, 3 star fragments

Speaking of autumn, mushrooms are inevitably one of the items in the season. So Animal Crossing made a good combination with realistic factors, allowing you to have a more realistic gaming experience, so in the short November, decorate your island. Because once winter comes, maybe more new items will appear!

IGGM also looks forward to the arrival of winter. We don't know what kind of surprise ACNH will bring us when Christmas comes. Once the latest news is leaked, IGGM will update the news in time.
