Thread about my findings on starter villager house interiors in #ACNH #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons
So, as new villagers move in, we are noticing some of our older villagers live in crack dens compared to the last 5 villagers that moved in. Dirt floors, basic generic furniture, etc
Basically nintendo made it so the villagers houses look "fancier" and more personalized the more our town evolves. They thought it wouldn't look right for early villagers to have personalized mansions while you live in a shack
That is great until we found out thanks to time travelers that starter villagers NEVER evolve their house any further than this. So they are stuck with generic houses instead of the ones that reflect their personality. Here's Genji's house as a starter villager VS late villager
The two villagers you start the game with will live in tents until they move to wood houses with super basic construction/wood furniture from craft projects, this is so their houses look like yours at that point in the game. Mine were Sylvia and Genji.
Sylvia's construction furni
The next three villagers will move into houses generic to their personality type. Gorls (normal/peppy) move into girly houses and (lazy?) bois into The Dirt Shack
These are slightly upgraded to reflect your progress but not custom to the chara so you'll get repeated interiors
From your first campsite visitor onwards, all your villagers will have fancy personalized houses to their aesthetic, since by that point you are settled into your island. It puts your early villagers houses to shame
The starter (5) villager houses unfortunately WILL NOT CHANGE. They will be stuck in boring unfitting interiors ):
I have only seen two "solutions" to this so far.
The first is to kick your starters out and reinvite them with amiibo if you can
The second is to gift them furniture more fit to their taste and "fix" their interiors. Though you might run into AI problems such as your big brain villager collecting beds instead of replacing the generic one
another unfortunate thing is that you can't gift them wallpaper or flooring, i have tried already with two characters and they reply with a "idk how i'll use this but thank you!" dialogue and never use it
DON'T GIFT THEM FLOORING/WALLPAPER it's money wasted!
if anyone has more info or better solutions let me know because not a lot of people are bringing this problem up and even tho it's no big deal it's lame compared to other ACs :/
most info about it i found on twitter and reddit

A lot of people keep suggesting to move their house, no, if you move their house they do not reset. Those pictures of Genji's house with the beds are after i moved him to a hilltop
