might have the most quality-of-life features of any game in the franchise, but there's still one simple area where fans would love to see a change. With so many tasks to handle in the game, some can ultimately feel a lot more streamlined and satisfying than others. One that can end up being a bit of a hassle is the process of selling fossils, a lucrative exchange that's both inefficient and a bit sad.
Reddit user MonoPeter raised a discussion of the fossil-selling process with a post titled "" setting forth the argument that the museum curator would appreciate them more than Timmy and Tommy would. Although Blathers is happy to take donations to the museum, he never succumbs to his oft-mentioned temptation to buy duplicates for his personal collection.
MonoPeter's post focuses on the tragedy of Blathers not being able to enjoy the fossils that he deserves. The post proposes a daily or weekly opportunity to sell to Blathers as a potential compromise, which would provide an opportunity to make Blathers happy without taking Timmy and Tommy entirely out of the picture.
MonoPeter isn't alone in this opinion, and many of the comments on the post back up the sentiment. A couple of users came up with potential systems for the exchange, like zephyrine_rain'sidea to open up the option after finding every fossil in the game. Renegade_451 argues for a statuette exchange similar to the approach that Flick and CJ take for bugs and fish, which is similar to a concept that involved Cyrus in
My love of Animal Crossing, the ultimate cozy life sim, slowly waned as I got older. That was until I started playing the wonderful New Leaf.
Creativered4 makes the generous offer of giving every fossil to Blathers for free if the game would simply allow the option. Even for those who aren't as giving of heart, being able to sell fossils to Blathers would be a good bit more efficient than having Blathers appraise them and then booking it over to Nook's Cranny to offload the haul.
