Hobbies

In the Animal Crossing series, hobbies are past-times that the villagers in the Player's town may take up to occupy their time. Hobbies include walking, fossil collecting, bug catching, fishing, fashion, shell collecting, gardening and home improvement. Hobbies affect villagers in many ways- their conversations vary, the content of their homes change, and what they wear or carry differs as well.

Villagers often talk of their hobby depending on their personality, explaining why they chose it and what they would like to acheive. If they hobby does not necessarily reflect the personality of the animal; for example- a cranky resident that gardens- they will sometimes go to great lengths to justify their past-time.

List of Hobbies

 * Gardening- Villagers who enjoy planting flowers. Flowers appear around the villager's house in great amounts, but are not tended to or organised. These animals carry watering cans.


 * Walking- This is the automatic hobby of any animal that has moved from on Player's town to another. Villagers talk of their favourite routes, what they notice on their walk and how refreshing they find it.


 * Fishing- Villagers with this hobby collect fish to put in their house. In Wild World, villagers often treated their hobby as more of a competition to see who could catch a fish the fastest. They could ask for a specific fish, the rarest fish, or even the biggest fish, and would always take the fish in exchange for a present if they lost. In City Folk, animals ask for a certain fish that they would like, in exchange for a reward. Animals that enjoy fishing carry fishing rods around town.
