That should be two clicks and a settings option, three max. Why in the name of Tom Nook does doing anything in Animal Crossing take at least 3-5 steps?! You want to let your friends visit? Okay, well, better head to the airport, then tell Orville that you want people to be able to come over, then tell him who you want to have over, then confirm that you do, in fact, want to go online, then wait while he, I don’t know, signs into AOL or something, then tell him how you want to receive visitors. And why, when I do something like release a bug, do they show an animation that then takes you completely out of your inventory?! I love the game, but its menus and inventory system need some work.

Finding and returning their lost items and a nice level of variety to the “chat with your villagers loop.” And the special visiting villagers have their own fond place in my heart.
I love that they call you by cute nicknames and will refer to friends who have visited your island.
The villagers in general are just really sweet. Plus, you can drop down a stereo and have them sing along to a K.K. Ok seriously, any time I see my villagers singing my heart just melts on the spot.
