Talk:Hobby

Alice & Alli are missing from this list, do we not know what their hobbies are? - unsigned comment from 107.189.225.241 (talk • contribs) 10:12, May 16, 2020 (EDT)

Added, thanks for heads up. Seems they were included in previous revisions of the lists, but after the list became table, they were excluded from lists. vmario97 (talk) 10:54, May 16, 2020 (EDT)

Books that are associated with hobbies (New Horizons)

I've made this picture to illustrate that villagers' hobbies determine what books they read. The names of the books are the datamined names.
Apologies for the Discord URL, the file is too large for Imgur, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to upload it to this wiki.

The 4 nature-outside books require an applicable object to be nearby. If someone wants to take a picture of a fossil book, they'll need to use "Place Item" on a fossil and wait for a nature-hobby villager to get interested in it. HylianAngel (talk) 22:55, October 16, 2020 (EDT)

So are villagers with the Education or Nature hobby the only ones to read books outside? This is some great documentation work here, so thanks for that! I think it would be helpful to upload these to the wiki, perhaps the close-up shots of the books would be best? Even better might be the ripped texture itself (e.g. File:Book (Western Literature) NH Texture.png), if we can find them. (talk) 12:59, October 17, 2020 (EDT)

That's correct, only Education and Nature-hobby villagers are able to read books outside. Everyone else can only read inside. I'm not sure if it's acceptable or usable, but this website has viewable models of the books in the Tool -> Book____ section. HylianAngel (talk) 13:07, October 17, 2020 (EDT)

That should be acceptable- we use renderings for the villager homes (e.g. File:House_of_Bob_NH_Model.png), so there is a precedent for that. (talk) 13:22, October 17, 2020 (EDT)
