so! animal crossing. i put around 3k hours into new leaf and i put around 200 hours into new horizons before realizing that i hated it and that it was the weakest entry in the franchise.
modding ACNL has been a thing for a while-- i specifically remember seeing people posting their custom villagers to tumblr a good while back-- but i dreamt there was a massive romhack out there that tried to add a lot of the QOL changes that were implemented in new horizons...and im wondering if it would be possible to implement in real life.
what i remember:
ive been trying to find documentation about new leaf and how one could go about making romhacks for it, but i havent had any luck...i did find this romhack though, which looks very interesting. so i assume there has to be documentation somewhere and i just havent found it yet because im dumb lol

what i remember:
- you could pick what face you wanted and what skintone your character would have before talking with rover at the start of the game.
- this could later be changed in shampoodle, in a tanning bed.
- there was more inventory space
- the villager dialogue was tweaked to make them meaner / make their behaviour similar to the older games
- there was more villagers-- most of them were either ports from new horizons and removed villagers from the e+ era. this is probably the easiest thing to replicate irl
- you could place furniture outdoors. this is probably the *hardest* thing to replicate irl. i remember this was done by making the outside and the inside of buildings the same? but there was an issue where sometimes bugs would spawn inside buildings and the game would crash.
- more slots for designs
- you were able to call villagers to the RV park without amiibos (this was what i was excited about the most tbh lol
