In {{SER}}, '''Hobbies''' are past-times that the [[villager]]s in the [[Player|player's]] [[town]] may take up to occupy their time. Hobbies include walking, fossil collecting, bug catching, fishing, fashion, 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 may differ as well.

In the {{SER}}, '''hobbies''' are pastimes that the [[villager]]s in the [[player]]'s [[town]] may take up to occupy their time. Hobbies include various activities the player may partake in, such as walking around, collecting fossils, or gardening, as well as activities the player cannot do in-game, like reading and singing.
  
−
Villagers often talk of their hobby depending on their personality, explaining why they chose it and what they would like to achieve. In ''City Folk'', lazy villagers may ask players to guess what their current hobby is.
+
In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, a villager may change their hobby several times, while in {{NH}}, a villager always has one hobby that doesn't change.

*'''Bug Catching''' - Much like fishing, villagers collect insects for display in their homes. In ''Wild World'', residents have competitions with the Player to find a certain insect as fast as they can, or to catch the rarest bug. In ''City Folk'', villagers simply ask for a specific insect, often in exchange for a reward. Villagers with this hobby carry nets. If the player catches a bug, he or she can either donate it to the museum, release it, or place it in his or her house.
+
===In {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}===
 +
In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, eight hobbies can be observed. Hobbies are the same between {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}, with small variations in activities between installments. Sometimes, villagers will play games based on their hobby—for example, [[lazy]] villagers may ask players to guess what their current hobby is. Hobbies affect villagers in many ways—their conversations vary, the content of their homes change, and what tool they carry may differ as well. Over time, a villager's hobby will change. Villagers may have up to two hobbies at a time; however, once they move in, the second hobby is always walking.
  
−
*'''Fashion''' - Animals ask for new clothes in exchange for gifts. Sometimes, requests may be very specific. Clothing can be rejected if the villager deems them too unattractive. Lazy villagers might say that they are becoming a super hero, named Super Spiffy (name here) and that they may ask players for style tips later on, since they will be his sidekick. They also say that they will stop wearing only the clothes their mom sends them. When players give a villager new clothes, the clothes they are wearing are displayed in their house.

*'''Fishing''' - Villagers with this hobby collect fish to put in their house. In ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'', villagers often treat their hobby as more of a competition to see who can catch a fish the fastest. They can ask for a specific fish, the rarest fish, or even the biggest fish, and will always take the fish in exchange for a present if they lose. In {{CF}}, animals ask for a certain fish that they would like, often for a reward. Animals that enjoy fishing carry fishing rods around town. If players catch a fish, they can show it off, donate it to the Museum, release it (near water), or place it in their house. Villagers with this hobby carry [[fishing rod]]s.
+
====Catch bugs====
 +
Villagers with the "catch bugs" hobby will carry a [[net]] while they are outside. They will collect [[bug]]s for display in their homes. In {{WW|short|nolink}}, residents have competitions with the player to find a certain insect as fast as they can, or to catch the rarest bug. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, villagers simply ask for a specific insect, often in exchange for a reward.
  
−
*'''Fossil Collecting''' - Villagers who enjoy collecting fossils will sometimes ask for a fossil, specific or any. These will usually be placed inside the villager's homes. They will sometimes comment on the fossil exhibit at the Museum or how much they enjoy Blathers lecturing on about fossils. If there is a fossil in the ground a star like mark will be seen near where the player needs to dig in order to find it. When the player finds a fossil, they can get in checked by Blathers, donate it to the museum, put it in their house or sell it to Tom Nook for a small fortune. Villagers with this hobby can be seen carrying shovels.

*'''Furniture''' - Animals may ask for a color, kind of furniture (old-school, chic, TV-tastic etc.) or specific furniture set. With colors, there are items that they may reject if there is not enough of the color on the piece of furniture. Be careful though because sometimes they will take the furniture anyway, even if it isn't what they first asked for.
+
====Collect furniture====
 +
Villagers with the "collect furniture" hobby will often ask the player for a piece of furniture of a specific color, style (old-school, chic, etc.), or set to display in their home. Because of how specific the requests are, they may reject the player's offerings—this is especially so with colors, as the whole item must be that color, not just a part of it. However, even if the furniture is rejected by the villager, they may not give it back to the player, opting to keep it without displaying it.
  
−
*'''Gardening''' - Villagers who enjoy planting flowers have this hobby. Flowers appear around the villager's house in great amounts, but are not tended to or organized. These animals carry watering cans and often comment on how other villagers have been running through their gardens. If talked to, they may ask the player to deliver a [[letter]] or [[present]] for them.

*'''Eating''' - Lazy villagers will sometimes ask for a specific fruit and may give a prize afterwards. They also talk about their favorite foods and ask the player about what foods they like. Cranky villagers might say, "''I've been recently making foods that animals can really sink their teeth into. (''three random foods), ''and pretty much anything else you can think of. ''''But no fancy drinks, there's only water at the chef's table. You can't enjoy my delicious flavors with a mouth full of ginger ale!"'''''
+
====Collect shells====
 +
Villagers with the "collect shells" hobby will talk about [[shell|seashells]], but do not ask the player to find any for them. However, they do ask the player to complete deliveries and generally stay in the lower acres of town near the beach.
  
−
*'''Walking''' - An automatic second hobby of all villagers. Villagers talk of their favorite routes, what they notice on their walk, and how refreshing they find it. They can sometimes ask players if they want to walk with them, or they may ask the player to complete a delivery. Normal villagers will usually say that there are little flowers blooming where there none yesterday, and that delights them. Cranky villagers will usually say, "''You may think I'm a tired old man for saying this, but I like walking slow. Everyone these days have caught up with speed walking, but who needs speed? Wander around on a day like this and see what you discover." ''Peppy villagers might say, "''Walking time, walking time. Time to get all fit and stuff. I just ate, like, 50 pounds of (''some dessert) ''and feel kinda bloated"'', or they might say, "''I'm gonna have (''some dessert) ''tonight, so I'm gonna walk it off now. The more I walk now, the better it will taste later!" ''They could even say, "''Since I'm becoming a healthier person now, I want to walk all the way to the city instead of taking the bus, but I don't think ANYONE could do that, not even, like, a marathon runner!"''

*'''Seashell Collecting''' - These villagers talk about [[Shell|seashells]], but do not ask the [[player]] to find any for them. However, they do ask the player to complete deliveries and generally stay in the lower acres of [[town]], near the beach.
+
====Dig up fossils====
 +
Villagers with the "dig up fossils" hobby will carry a [[shovel]] while they are outside. They enjoy collecting [[fossil]]s and will sometimes ask the player to find a fossil for them (a specific type or any). These will usually be placed inside the villager's homes. They will sometimes comment on the fossil exhibit at the [[museum]] or how much they enjoy [[Blathers]]'s lectures about fossils.

====Fish====
 +
Villagers with the "fish" hobby will carry a [[fishing rod]] while they are outside. They will collect [[fish]] for display in their homes. In {{WW|short|nolink}}, villagers often treat their hobby as more of a competition to see who can catch a fish the fastest. They may challenge the player to find a specific fish, the rarest fish, or even the biggest fish, and will always take the fish in exchange for a present if they lose this "competition." In {{CF|short|nolink}}, villagers request a certain fish from the player in return for a reward.

 +
[[File:WW Gardening Hobby.png|thumb|[[Bella]] displaying her gardening hobby by holding a watering can and surrounding her house with flowers.]]
 +
Villagers with the "garden" hobby will carry a [[watering can]] while they are outside. They enjoy planting [[flower]]s, and flowers will appear around their house each day; eventually, up to two rows of flowers will appear in front of their house, excluding the single space in front of their door, and up to one row of flowers will appear on either side of their house. Villagers with this hobby often comment on how other villagers have been running through their gardens. If talked to, they may ask the player to deliver a [[letter]] or [[present]] for them.

====Shop for clothes====
 +
Villagers with the "shop for clothes" hobby will ask for new [[clothing|clothes]], sometimes specific styles, in exchange for gifts. Clothing may be rejected if the villager deems it too unattractive. Lazy villagers might say that they are becoming a super hero, named "Super Spiffy [Villager Name]," and that they may ask players for style tips later on, since they will be their sidekick. They also say that they will stop wearing only the clothes their mom sends them. When players give a villager new clothes, the clothes they are wearing are displayed in their house.

====Walk around====
 +
The "walk around" hobby is the automatic second hobby of all villagers. Villagers with this hobby will talk of their favorite routes, what they notice on their walk, and how refreshing they find it. They sometimes ask players if they want to walk with them, or to complete a delivery.
 +
 
 +
[[Normal]] villagers may mention flowers blooming on their route that weren't there yesterday. [[Cranky]] villagers will usually say, "You may think I'm a tired old man for saying this, but I like walking slow. Everyone these days have caught up with speed walking, but who needs speed? Wander around on a day like this and see what you discover." [[Peppy]] villagers will usually comment on how they're walking off a big meal or dessert, or how they intend to stay fit by walking around the town. In {{CF|short}}, specifically, they may comment: "''Since I'm becoming a healthier person now, I want to walk all the way to the city instead of taking the bus, but I don't think ANYONE could do that, not even, like, a marathon runner!"''

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
 +
In {{NH}}, six hobbies can be observed, with each allowing the villager to perform unique actions, or certain actions at any time that other villagers can only perform during a scripted activity outside [[Resident Services]] that involves several villagers. Villagers may also be seen reading books or magazines pertaining to their hobby.
 +
 
 +
Special characters also have hobbies, although it is not expressed to the same extent as villagers. Exclusive to {{HHP|short}}, their hobby affects the books or magazines that they read; it has no other effect.

Villagers with the education hobby can wear {{I|rimmed glasses|NH}} and read a novel while outside. They will also use a magnifying glass when near certain [[furniture]] items, such as [[art]], [[fossil]]s, [[flower]]s placed outside as furniture, [[bugs|insects]] placed outside as furniture, and [[fish]] placed outside as furniture; and near certain plants, such as [[flower]]s, [[tree]]s, [[weed]]s, and [[produce]]. They also use the magnifying glass with insects that are flying around. This hobby is most common among [[normal]] and [[cranky]] villagers. Additionally, [[Cobb]] is the only [[jock]] villager, [[Shino]] is the only [[peppy]] villager, [[Doc]] is the only [[lazy]] villager, and [[Quinn]] is the only [[big sister]] villager with this hobby.

Villagers with the fashion hobby can wear specific [[headwear]] or [[accessory]] items while carrying a special type of bag; for female villagers, they carry a pink purse with a white flower on it, and for male villagers, they carry a brown leather bag. Most of the villagers with fashion as their hobby are female, and nearly all of them are either [[peppy]] or [[snooty]]. [[Eunice]], [[Ione]], [[Jambette]], and [[Vesta]] are the only [[normal]] villagers with this hobby; [[Sasha]], who is [[lazy]], is the only male villager with this hobby. No [[big sister]] villagers have fashion as their hobby.

In the Animal Crossing series, hobbies are pastimes that the villagers in the player's town may take up to occupy their time. Hobbies include various activities the player may partake in, such as walking around, collecting fossils, or gardening, as well as activities the player cannot do in-game, like reading and singing.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, a villager may change their hobby several times, while in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a villager always has one hobby that doesn't change.

Appearances[edit]

In Wild World and City Folk[edit]

In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, eight hobbies can be observed. Hobbies are the same between Wild World and City Folk, with small variations in activities between installments. Sometimes, villagers will play games based on their hobby—for example, lazy villagers may ask players to guess what their current hobby is. Hobbies affect villagers in many ways—their conversations vary, the content of their homes change, and what tool they carry may differ as well. Over time, a villager's hobby will change. Villagers may have up to two hobbies at a time; however, once they move in, the second hobby is always walking.

Total 19 19 18 18 19 19 19 19

Catch bugs[edit]

Villagers with the "catch bugs" hobby will carry a net while they are outside. They will collect bugs for display in their homes. In Wild World, residents have competitions with the player to find a certain insect as fast as they can, or to catch the rarest bug. In City Folk, villagers simply ask for a specific insect, often in exchange for a reward.

Collect furniture[edit]

Villagers with the "collect furniture" hobby will often ask the player for a piece of furniture of a specific color, style (old-school, chic, etc.), or set to display in their home. Because of how specific the requests are, they may reject the player's offerings—this is especially so with colors, as the whole item must be that color, not just a part of it. However, even if the furniture is rejected by the villager, they may not give it back to the player, opting to keep it without displaying it.

Collect shells[edit]

Villagers with the "collect shells" hobby will talk about seashells, but do not ask the player to find any for them. However, they do ask the player to complete deliveries and generally stay in the lower acres of town near the beach.

Dig up fossils[edit]

Villagers with the "dig up fossils" hobby will carry a shovel while they are outside. They enjoy collecting fossils and will sometimes ask the player to find a fossil for them (a specific type or any). These will usually be placed inside the villager's homes. They will sometimes comment on the fossil exhibit at the museum or how much they enjoy Blathers's lectures about fossils.

Villagers who start with this hobby in Wild World[edit]

Fish[edit]

Villagers with the "fish" hobby will carry a fishing rod while they are outside. They will collect fish for display in their homes. In Wild World, villagers often treat their hobby as more of a competition to see who can catch a fish the fastest. They may challenge the player to find a specific fish, the rarest fish, or even the biggest fish, and will always take the fish in exchange for a present if they lose this "competition." In City Folk, villagers request a certain fish from the player in return for a reward.

Garden[edit]

Villagers with the "garden" hobby will carry a watering can while they are outside. They enjoy planting flowers, and flowers will appear around their house each day; eventually, up to two rows of flowers will appear in front of their house, excluding the single space in front of their door, and up to one row of flowers will appear on either side of their house. Villagers with this hobby often comment on how other villagers have been running through their gardens. If talked to, they may ask the player to deliver a letter or present for them.

Shop for clothes[edit]

Villagers with the "shop for clothes" hobby will ask for new clothes, sometimes specific styles, in exchange for gifts. Clothing may be rejected if the villager deems it too unattractive. Lazy villagers might say that they are becoming a super hero, named "Super Spiffy [Villager Name]," and that they may ask players for style tips later on, since they will be their sidekick. They also say that they will stop wearing only the clothes their mom sends them. When players give a villager new clothes, the clothes they are wearing are displayed in their house.

Villagers who start with this hobby in Wild World[edit]

Walk around[edit]

The "walk around" hobby is the automatic second hobby of all villagers. Villagers with this hobby will talk of their favorite routes, what they notice on their walk, and how refreshing they find it. They sometimes ask players if they want to walk with them, or to complete a delivery.

Normal villagers may mention flowers blooming on their route that weren't there yesterday. Cranky villagers will usually say, "You may think I'm a tired old man for saying this, but I like walking slow. Everyone these days have caught up with speed walking, but who needs speed? Wander around on a day like this and see what you discover." Peppy villagers will usually comment on how they're walking off a big meal or dessert, or how they intend to stay fit by walking around the town. In City Folk, specifically, they may comment: "Since I'm becoming a healthier person now, I want to walk all the way to the city instead of taking the bus, but I don't think ANYONE could do that, not even, like, a marathon runner!"

In New Horizons[edit]

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, six hobbies can be observed, with each allowing the villager to perform unique actions, or certain actions at any time that other villagers can only perform during a scripted activity outside Resident Services that involves several villagers. Villagers may also be seen reading books or magazines pertaining to their hobby.

Special characters also have hobbies, although it is not expressed to the same extent as villagers. Exclusive to Happy Home Paradise, their hobby affects the books or magazines that they read; it has no other effect.

Villagers with the education hobby can wear rimmed glasses and read a novel while outside. They will also use a magnifying glass when near certain furniture items, such as art, fossils, flowers placed outside as furniture, insects placed outside as furniture, and fish placed outside as furniture; and near certain plants, such as flowers, trees, weeds, and produce. They also use the magnifying glass with insects that are flying around. This hobby is most common among normal and cranky villagers. Additionally, Cobb is the only jock villager, Shino is the only peppy villager, Doc is the only lazy villager, and Quinn is the only big sister villager with this hobby.

Most of the villagers with fashion as their hobby are female, and nearly all of them are either peppy or snooty. Eunice, Ione, Jambette, and Vesta are the only normal villagers with this hobby; Sasha, who is lazy, is the only male villager with this hobby. No big sister villagers have fashion as their hobby.
