I agree with everything you said but would add two other reasons why I don’t decorate as much as I’d like too. 1) I really like to clutter up my builds but doing so makes it soooo hard to find the chests! I wish they would put them on the map like they do with trees and bushes. 2) This is the one that makes me the most frustrated. Item placement and the catalog. I hate scrolling to find the items I need and then only being able to place one at a time AND THEN having the catalog jump all the way back to the top!!! WHY????? Let us stay where we were! Let us place multiple items one after another, like chairs for instance, or trees! Ugh, don’t even get me started on trees! I appreciate that they gave us multiple types of similar trees but I would love the ability to click on the tree type I want to use and have the three options come up so I can pick exactly the one I want without having to pull out 20 before finally getting the right one! 😤 Okay, rant over! Thanks for the vent. Now, if only Gameloft would listen.
Oh and if they aren’t going to give us new doors, the least they could do is allow us to change their color using touch of magic so that at least they match our aesthetic.
^This. ❤
This was a great vent! I agree with you wynter
im pretty sure the inventory thing is a bug because it happened with scrooge a while back where you could only order one item before being kicked up to the top again, hopefully they fix it during the dec 5th update because yeah its keeping me from decorating at the moment as well.
This definitely is one of my main reasons for not decorating, i hate being sent back to the top of the list!!
@@sarasmedberg8203 I figured it's a bug, but it's literally been happening since the day I started playing. It got fixed during one of the early updates I think, if I remember correctly, but that only lasted a few days before it went right back to jumping to the top. They really need to fix that and the way the decorations get messed up when you back out of furniture mode.
I will say, I have decorated my whole valley and I am at about 4500 items. I kept it simple, but it is still aesthetic and functional, and very natural in most of the biomes. It is possible to do if you don’t do clutter core
I seriously can’t stand when people just clutter their valleys and dont fit the vibe of a specific biome. For example, spooky items/decor in plaza or meadow.
Agree. I have my valley pretty well decorated and I'm still under 3000 items. I even have a full walkway from the plaza to the beach stairs consisting of rock rugs. What I don't have is a lot of decorative rocks though. They were way overused in the beginning due to the lack of bordered pathing and I think that trend never stopped with a lot of folks. Switch just isn't going to be able to handle a higher object count. Animal Crossing was horrible with outside furniture loading and it was created by Nintendo itself!
@@Joeywlsn that also bothers me, definitely not my personal style, but to each his own.
@@AllenCH I have a few ares with the rocks around some pathing but it’s very specific places. I do like the look of it but a lot of the bordered paths are nice
WOW
Awesome Video! There are so many big and smaller issues that are really annoying. For example another one: The furniture Menu... I select 1 Item and idk maybe I want to get another one of that, but it is all scrolled up again, so I need to search it again. That is soo annoying. You need 1 special Tree? you have to click a few times on it, to get THIS one .. scrolling, clicking... and i dont even mention the camera bug that throws me to another biome! :3 .. so tedious sometimes, even its worth it in the end ♥
So true
Totally agree with being thrown back to the top of the item list. Very annoying
I never thought about it but Valley Pre-sets are a genius. It can be a great feature if implemented correctly
I tend to get overwhelmed easily with games that let me decorate like this. Too many choices.
Although the main reason I actually decorate very little is that for whatever reason, my game can't handle it if I do too many things in furniture mode at once. If I add or move more than a couple things around at a time without leaving the editor and going back in, I get stuck on the loading screen and can't do anything. Needless to say it really takes away most of my incentive to decorate apart from doing Dreamsnaps, because it's so tedious and I risk crashing my game and losing progress anyway lol.
Omg me too!! Like took the words right out of my mouth. Just to many choices. I plan to start things all the time but then I start looking through items to get ideas and im like ok thats enough 😅
I feel like a dreamsnaps studio would be a neat idea. An area we can access and select the settings, lighting, weather. Pick the villagers and critters we want included in snaps. Somewhere we have to decorate but gives us a bit more creative freedom
This would be a nice way to stop random villagers waltzing through your perfect pic as well, without having to cage them in/out
With presets, keep in mind that switching to a previous one may require pulling furniture that's already in use from the other biomes
That's not how presets work. It's like changing outfits. You can only use what you have out at the moment, and the rest is in storage. So it would be, saves on the biomes in storage.
I don’t think presets would be as easy as you think to implement. I think villager houses would be a big issue code wise. It would likely throw a lot of errors if anything was placed where a newly implemented (since the “preset” had been created) house should be. Where does the house go?
I think maybe something like a harv’s island like they have in new horizons could be a solution. Jump through a portal, pick your friends to hang out with, pick your biome, decorate with any of your items with a refreshed limit since it’s not loading the current valley, you could even pick if you wanted certain spawns, and suddenly in dreamsnaps the spawns can be an artistic choice. I think that would be really interesting, and easier to implement code wise.
Ghost house, maybe...?
Or simply, remove the character from the game and indicate you'll have to place their house again in this updated biome, and they'll come back. Heck I'm ready for that...
I admire people's beautiful valleys they're incredible! I personally have kept mine very much organic and similar to the original way it came upon first log in lol with a few accent areas of design. I like the ability to keep space for add ons and rearrangement as needed for new characters. ❤
I have my valley fully decorated the 6k limit in all honesty is fine for me anyways but I do agree with most of what you had to say, symmetry in DLV does not exist and annoys me or not having the option to place items the way we want, and don't even get me started on the absence of a search bar for items :D also for the love of all things disney remove the daily item limit from scrooge haha
Presets are a great idea especially for those like me who don’t decorate their valley because I have no creative bone in my body 😂
My valley is like a nature reserve. I keep it decorated minimally with simple roads and paths, and there’s biome-appropriate rocks and trees. I’m more interested in adding new character homes than anything else. Some decoration pieces are so big and you can’t even interact with them.
Off topic, you are my GO TO channel for DDV content. I love how enthusiastic you are about the game.
I think I'm the only player who doesn't want the biomes stylized and sculpted. I try to keep the original concept of the biomes and just add to them. I move things if I have to but I try to work around them.
i do decorate but then take it down to do a dreamsnap and lack the energy to put it back.
I have a similar idea, mostly for dreamsnap building… Think along the lines of like, Harvs photo house in Animal Crossing - or better yet, the Happy Home Paradise DLC, for those familiar… It’s a separate, blank Dreamsnap “biome”. You select which biome design you want, example Frosted Heights, and teleport there… it looks exactly the same, but no sticks or spices, no unwanted villagers flouncing around… then through a build menu, apart from the normal trees and furniture items, you can also include any buildings you want, you can “bring” any villagers you WANT to be there. You build your scene, do your photo, and teleport out. the build menu would work like the Happy Home Paradise one, where you can place the fruit and vegetable items, seed bags, coins, dream shards, ingots, flowers, coal, rope, gold, etc, in addition to all the regular furniture. That menu would obviously be able to filter the item tags for the photo challenges too. Beautiful Dreamsnaps without ever having to even think about touching your valley, or saving different setups, and without Maui showing up to dance!
that's an amazing idea
The preset idea is genius!! I would PAY to have that feature!! I leave all my biomes undecorated because I want total freedom for dreamsnaps and to find chests! My biggest petpeeve though is the inventory 🙄 i need a search bar, my own categories, the ability to place multiple of the same, the inventory list STAYING ON THE SAME SPOT WHEN I PLACE SOMETHING, better scroll function on Playstation... The inventory feels like using a 1998 modem to go online 😂☠️
Need a control statue for the valley and the 45 degree placement
Totally agree with the preset, the whole reason i didn't decorate my biomes is because of dreamsnap lol
I do not decorate much because playing on switch with item limit and do not want to decorate everywhere with just the same items. I agree with your mentions also.
This video is so useful. Thank you ever so much for it. One thing I hope you cover one day is lighting for photos I see so many beautifully lit photos and I always struggle with lighting I’d like to see a video about that in the future.
Thank you so much for this guide. I learned a lot about light through trial and error but this just covers so many things I’m still learning. Even as a veteran there were a lot of new things to learn from it so thank you!
The sticks! On the daily I think “I wish I could turn those off.” Turn the spices/mushrooms into something that you plant. The holes in the ground make the items obtainable from digging like clay, etc. Plus a new axe tool for sticks.
Only reason I don't decorate my whole valley is the 3000 item limit on the Switch 😭
I used to play a mobile game called Utopia. You could build your entire house in build mode, and with a blueprint you could save it, save several… so you could implement them at any time. Pretty much the same thing as biome presets, what a brilliant idea.
I can see some possible problems with the preset idea. One is outside storage. You would need to change it back to the preset to have access to rhose chests? Or they would be mantained if you go to a new one? Because palia shares the storage between all chests, so having one chest in each plot is enough.
Second one is villager houses. If you change to a new preset, their houses would go with it or stay in the first one? If so, they would be locked in the first valley, would be in the active valley always or what? If Mickey's house is in the meadow and in the second preset it isn't, where it would go? I think its a nice idea but it might have some challenges on implementing it!!
I agree with the preset BUT (and its a huge BUT) only if it does not create load scenes when walking into every biome. I have a feeling if you made presets in each biome they will make loading scenes each time you walk into a new biome and that would be game breaking for most. Also with touch of magic i go back and forth on dreamsnaps. I feel it will make it was unfair for most as there are super super savvy people out there with touch of magic (im one) but it makes it fair for everyone that they don’t allow it. It is super annoying but i totally get why they do it
Animal Crossing has the preset option too. I love this game so much more than Animal Crossing, but some things animal crossing still gets so much better than DDV.
I am so so glad that the random spawning was your number 1 problem because its mine too! To be honest i have just given up playing the game at the moment because i was getting sick and tired of having to remove so much trash every day! The rocks, icicles, mushrooms, herbs, it was getting so annoying. I always feel like i have to clear everything before i start anything else on the game so i was never left with much time to do quests or decorate after clearing it all up. I really hope the developers add an option to turn off random spawning, this would really improve the game. Thank you for bringing attention to it!
Oh and I forgot to mention another reason I don’t decorate as much… when I’m in the zone and I’m all done and I back out only to find everything is messed up!!!
The reason why I dont decorate is nr.1 - want more freedom to do whatever i want in my dreamsnaps and nr.2 - I haaate the catalog! When I place one item down I need to scroll to fint it again in the catalog. I hate this, It's super frustrating :(
grr I get triggered (not really) everytime I see the star path items i missed out on ... I bought the game for myself at christmas last year so I missed out on some super super cool star path items .. I really hope maybe they will sell some in the new scrooge shop
I would love to be able to do them in between the new star paths, like right now. I'd pay some good moonstones for that!
yAASSSSSSS@@AllenCH
For me it is the frosted hight and the biiiiiiiiiig ice that spawn everywhere.... they destroy my biome😭
oh my god, presets for biomes or even the valley as a whole would be such a gamechanger :D
It drives me crazy, when I want to place four of the same thing and have to scroll all the way through my list each time. Especially when it's at the bottom of the list. Why can't it go right back to where I left off?
The birdie finger in the spam video section. I couldn’t stop laughing! 😂 My mind is in the gutter! LOL!
btw, I like the preset idea!
This is an absolute genius idea omg!!! 😍😍😍 I really hope they are listening on this one! It would also add a ton of hours from decorating to your game and spending more money on more furniture!!! I am on switch so this would really help with the awful item limit too!! And I feel like something like this is essential for dreamsnaps! Thank you for this brilliant idea! 😄🙌🎉✨️
I don't really decorate my island because I play on Switch. Trying to move things around with a Switch controller is frustrating. Also, when in furniture mode, always going back to to the top of the list is irritating. It takes FOREVER on a controller to get back to where you were or to the bottom of the list. And I wish we had more search methods while in furniture mode. And the footprints are way to big on many of the items.
I totally agree with all your points! In Animal Crossing I loved decorating and never got tired of it. But here there are too many factors that make it annoying. The random spawning is the worst! How many dream shards could we possibly need?
“THE PRESET”! 😂😂😂😂 here for it
I really wish DDLV would do something like what the Sims 4 did by letting you toggle grid lock on and off so we can center things.
Not being able to center things drives me nuts! 😂
I play sims and I agree! Also angles.
@@TheDecorista Yes!
I wish we could also have a preset to allow certain characters to live on the land or not. Wish we didn't have to have their houses there if we don't want it.
I like the idea of presets, but can’t see it working. For example if you used a certain house, or collection of items on your ‘Christmas meadow’ does that mean it would delete them from elsewhere in your valley if you reused them (say in the Glade) at a later date?!
Good point, but if we have a whole valley presets, it shouldn't be a problem
I love the preset idea. I just started playing a week ago, your vides are very interesting and fun, thanks for sharing.
I truly wish they would remove the gridsnap and allow free movement of furniture items. Also, omg for the love of all that is holy let us rotate to inter cardinals this drives me crazy.
I would love a space just for dreamsnaps!
Another one is particularly for new users is the missed star path items. I have nearly all event items but there's still a lot missing and it kills my motivation to decorate because I need the UP balloons or the Incredibles motorcycle, or some Halloween items. I think the items we have only in scrooge are mostly couches and counters and not much really to decorate with
There are literally HUNDREDS of items from the Scrooge shop to decorate with...sure they over did it with the couches and counters, but that's not all they have. Dozens of themes, styles, colors, and moods from only the in-game items. Missing 50 or so items from past Star Paths shouldn't make a difference.
@@jimmythegeekxl if people start from December 5th when the game comes out they would have over 1 year worth of content lost e.g. every star path that has been available prior to that which is far more than 50 items, people have missed out on the theme park rides, etc, they're pretty unique and certainly would take up an entire biome worth of decoration. I'm not too bothered about myself losing 1 or 2 paths but if I was someone new it would discourage me from decorating altogether
I completely agree with your opinion on Touch of Magic. I have removed almost all mine. I had a huge boardwalk. It’s permanently removed. I kept very few. But I won’t place them it’s so frustrating and infuriating.
Xbox: Touch Of Magic: They need to fix Touch of Magic. I put down a refrigerator and decorated it blue with motifs on it. Then I deleted the pattern recently to make room for more ideas. Now the refrigerator is back to white.
Yeah Mrstarinsky especially for the switch version. I hope they fix it for us by the time December 5th rules around. The item limit increase of course. We should have presets options for resources, spices, night thorns, flowers etc. I agree with everything you said.
Honestly, I'm kinda waiting to decorate until we don't get any more characters. That way, I can find the perfect spot for their houses (may change when we get new biomes), and then decorate from there. So don't expect much from me if I do multiplayer lol
This is my reason too. I don’t want to build anything just to take it down later on in order to fit more character homes in each biome. I’d rather know the maximum number of homes we can have in the valley and then decorate around them.
@@pageturner_92 Nice! I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😊
Ok presets would actually be a game changer! I’m so scared for the Easter event this year because I’ll never find the eggs in my valley. Tip for wood is to hide it in places behind or in your builds also keeps chests from spawning in places you can’t reach. Wish you could do the same with herbs.
The preset idea is BRILLANT! Hope we have it!
I'm so glad you brought up the spawning, which I call 'spamming'' because it is so uncontrolled and ugly. I understand why in early game, but surely there can be a limit - even if say, after 100hrs play spawning happened ONLY once a day, not every time you turn around. Not sure about the thorns, I'm hoping there is going to be a time when they end altogether. Totally agree about ToM, mine is all gone for the same reason, and yes, it's the rugs esp and sometimes changing the colour/motif on cushions/sofas. "Presets" what a wonderful idea. I've picked up wood, turned around to pick up a spice and all the wood has dropped *again*; I didn't leave the biome, I had hardly moved, and it was all back. Ban Tom clothing if you must, but not rugs!
I agree with this video on everything ! But I wish that when a character was fully oppgradert on friend ship, that on there spacal guarding, fishing and other. That tay pick up thing and put it in a chest, help in the valley.
Love your idea on how to fix it. I hope Gameloft sees this and maybe does something. I play on the Switch and haven't decorated much because of my 3,000 item limit, Its not fair.
I love the preset idea. I would even settle for being able to move multiple items as a group. 😅 I’m also hopeful that with a new Nintendo console next year(?) that the item limit will increase. I’m a very detailed decorator and it’s torture!
Character houses would make having multiple versions of a biome impossible to implement. If I have Mickey's house in my Christmas Meadow, but his house isn't in my Halloween biome, I could end up with a game that is either missing his house completely, or I end up with two Mickey houses.
Good point, I think they could think a way around it though
I say WE NEED presets 👍. Also, I believe you can also make an herb bed, (like a flower bed) where just your herbs can spawn. It may take a while to get it developed, but you can do it. 😊
You could have a Dremsnap valley with no Touch of Magic and one very custom.
If they did the preset situation I would do it by holiday and season
45° angles would be huge, and while centering would help my OCD, the only time it's appalling is indoors with paneling and trying to center wall objects on them.
Otherwise, I'm mostly fine. I have the extended item limit on my PC. I have most of my biomes in mid-states. I have where I've put character homes very decorated, but in between spaces remain pretty natural. Maybe it's because I prefer more natural aesthetics that it doesn't bother me as much. 🤷 My most decorated biomes are Frosted Heights and Forgotten Lands. I find myself wishing they were bigger 😍
As far as dreamsnaps go, I actually find it easier to do dreamsnaps considering my valley is more decorated. Most of the time, I already have something applicable to the theme, so I make small changes and sometimes I keep the changes or shift it back pretty easily.
Spawning items do make a nicely decorated area look disheveled, but it's primarily a gathering game, so if spawning is something that super bothers someone, maybe it's not really the game for them. DDV wants us to continue gathering, its the primary way to earn dreamlight.
Thank you for your kind words- I still play with the 3,000 item limit. I've lost interest in the game mostly because of that ☹️
Why do we even need an item limit!? I think it's stupid!🤬
I hear you about wishing to use touch of magic in our bioms etc. But I hope they never do allow touch of magic for dreamsnaps because inevitably people with make inappropriate graphics and we have to keep this game appropriate for younger players.
So not only did you have a super long sponsor video I got hit with so many adverts as well. Lord its taken 10 minutes just to get the video to play
My strategy is keeping Sunlit Plateau empty because you can see the sun and moon so well in that biome :)
I never thought about that, but this is a fantastic idea! On top of all the things you already mentioned, I’d even like it for farming. It’s difficult to find a place for a massive pumpkins farm when you are trying to decorate your entire valley.
NEED PRESETS YES! I stopped to decorate since dreamsnaps, bcs i have to wipe certain areas of my valley... PLEASE developers, give us "instanced" Valley Q_Q
Yes, definitely need presets
Symmetry. yup big issue for me, I am fussy. I also do decorate my bioms much because I dont like a cluttered look and clutter makes things like timebending harder to do.
Dear DDV all we want for Christmas is presets!!! 🙏🙏🙏
There is still a lot they can do for decorating... I would like it to be more like in the sims, where you can rotate, place items closer, but still being able to use the square grid.
That is why I don't decorate mostly...
My valley is has mostly the preset basic placement of things such as restaurant, store and so on.
It is so difficult for me to decorate. Because I feel icky when stuff is not centered or don't come close enough and I don't like all of my dream snaps because of this😢.
Presets would be nice. Even if only for the plaza
Great video. I hope the developers are listening. Presets would be amazing. For me dreamsnaps is my main reason for not decorating more or using ToM outside. Presets would solve this. Item spawning is a bit annoying but less of an issue for me the the dreamsnap limitations to decorating
I’ve honestly done the same thing! I love everybody’s hard work when decorating but I personally can’t fully dedicate that much in decorating my valley, at least where it looks descent enough where I can still mine rock’s and harvest spices. I really do love this game , but since playing on PlayStation it has been difficulties, and I hope with this update things will begin improving.
I appreciate your videos! ❤😊
Great video MrStarinSky I vote yes on the prest idea! I hope gameloft sees this video 😅 and fix all the other things that others have mentioned one being the search bar for items!! 😅
Hello MrStarInSky!🌟
My valley is all over the place, I'm not great at decorating and can't concentrate long enough... and the OCD of not being able to make things symmetrical 😳
You and me both about the symmetry 😵💫🙈
I really want a free rotation on furniture items
I wish we had presets too.
I don't think that the natural items that were already in the valley should be in the item count either...only the things we craft or buy from Scrooge should count not flowers,herbs,trees,rocks, etc.,etc.
I would be happy with the ability to just have more freedom on tge grid....place objects freely or at least on a diagonal, half and quarter tiles for paths, the ability to resize some items. The build menu needs a lot of improvement. I just started playing a couple weeks ago and build mode is making me miss The Sims 😆
5. You sound like a neat freak MrStarinsky! 😂 Creativity is never neat! Lmao. ❤
4. I agree! I have too many ideas, so I don't even start some things too. Saving the presets for a biome, like we do the mannequins would be great! (Might be hard if you have to remove an item to use it elsewhere instead of buying a new one🤔)
3. Touch of magic only works indoors without issues. Valid point!
2. Maybe they should have a bonus/secondary dreamsnaps using touch of magic for people who want to!?!
And number 1. I think this is understandable, but at the same time... That's literally the game. If you don't need the items, it's another way to make money.... And earn your dreamlight.
I personally take pleasure in the act of cleaning. It's like a restoration or powerwash of the area. It's challenging, but very satisfying. 😊😊
Absolutely baited with this ad 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We need presets in Disney Dreamlight Valley!
#3 is why 90% of my valley looks like a leftover yard sale
I made a few clothing items for touch of magic but never wear them because of Dreamsnaps
They need to increase the object limit. I have 85% of my valley decorated and I only have 450 item limit left.
The only issue I can think of with presets is if you have a new house in an area that wasn't there before. Like let's say I put Rapunzel in the forest for the first time, then I switch to an old Winter preset for the Forest. Where does Rapunzel's tower go?
Yes. 3000 is insane. I hate it xD
It sucks so bad om switch...the lag and soft locks takes chunks of my patience away lol
Presets! I love that idea❤
I wish we had the option to turn off spawn resources.
I believe all the choices Gameloft made were to accommodate for memory capacity. Even the Valley item limit. How long does it take your fully furnished biomes to load?
I would settle for multiple selection for delete and placement. And NOT having the inventory menu go all the way to the top! My valley looks empty compared to most I see, and I'm at the 3,000 limit. Planning to upgrade my Xbox soon tho.
The random spawns are very annoying. I hear that only a certain amount spawns in each biome and you can pick up and hide them behind stuff so they won't spawn again. I don't know if this is true as I've not tried it but it may be worth a shot 🤷♀️
I just want to be able to turn off daily spawning of rocks and stuff like that
It's funny to me, but I am still only using less than 3000 item limit and have decorated every biome in a way that I am extremely happy with. I don't believe you need to use every item just to decorate, it's completely doable using less items and creating a beautiful sanctuary that you love in this stunning game. I also play on PC, never get any lag, I do clear my valley a lot, just cos I like to keep it tidy and pretty lol, but aye, I don't like clutter, less is more for me.
My top 5 reasons why I don't fully decorate my valley:
1. SWITCH
2. SWITCH
3. SWITCH
4. SWITCH
5. SWITCH
😂 I am confident that the next Switch is coming out next year and we will be in par with the rest of everyone else 😅
I play cross platform between the Switch and PC with the 6000 item limit. I am at around 4800, and the Switch has been handling it with very few crashes. I agree that it is possible
Biome Presets will be an AMAZING idea but a lot more complex than you think. And im also kind of teerrified of Gameloft screwing that up! They screwed up a Hallowen Event that was just a repeat of last years!!!! And looks whats happening with the PS Cozzy Edition debarcle! How does a 'Premium Game' company keep screwing up so horrificaly?
What would happen if one meadow preset has Minnie's house while another preset does not?
