3, 2, 1, post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about clothes for villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Villagers can wear any clothes in the game, except for socks, shoes, pants, skirts, wigs, and helmets. "Helmets" include anything that's considered full headgear in the game. This includes things like wigs, hoods, and certain hats. This can honestly be really limiting. Not only this, but the clothes they can wear look different on different animals. For example, sometimes hats will turn into dumb little tiny hats instead of covering their whole head, and some villagers can't wear glasses correctly. This can seem entertaining at first, but then after a while you realize how ridiculous it looks. Instead of doing this, I wish the creators would have just taken more time to model the clothes to fit the villagers the right way. Doing it the way they did just makes it feel like the world they live in isn't very inclusive of certain animals. If you can't wear something, you don't get to wear it the right way. This kind of ruins the point of the game, which is supposed to be about being kind to others and building connections within your community. It also would've been much easier to model them all if they were able to wear pants and shoes, as well as if they could wear hats and glasses properly. I understand why they can't wear helmets, but doing it the way it was done creates way more work than necessary; especially since full body outfits had to be redesigned for villagers. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
