Villagers inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscan become like close friends as players interact with these NPC neighbors regularly and give them gifts. For the most part, these animal villagers interact with things in their environment pretty well, and can dress in the large variety of outfits and accessories that the game offers with no problem. Unfortunately, some of the cosmetic items don’t work quite as well for every villager’s character model.
Reddit userJeter_3000shared a screenshot of his character sitting next to the hippo villager, Rocco, who was happily reading a book.Rocco appears to have put on some reading glasses for the activity, but these tiny glasses don’t exactly fitRocco’s large head, providing a pretty humorous situation.
As Jeter_3000 points out,the glasses are not exactly helping much in the position they are in, as Rocco’s eyes are nowhere near lined up with the lenses. To be fair, Rocco’s large nose and mouth would also prevent him from being able to even see the book in his hand, but that is another issue entirely.

Cosmetic Items Are Not Always Universal
The universal cosmetic items, such as the glasses that Rocco is wearing so uniquely, don’t always work quite right. As is pointed out further in the comments, the octopus villagers also do not use glasses correctly, and it gives them a silly sense of style that can be fun to see.Gifting villagers glasses is a great way of encouraging them to wear these items, although it can be more difficult to get them to remove them once the joke starts to get a little old.
On Jeter_3000’s post, several humorous comments followed, including the above comment frompoptartpopewho pointed out thatpoor Rocco is only trying his best. Of course, this isn’t the first instance of players sharing a laugh, or even getting a bit frustrated, about villagers on their islands not using items properly, such asvillagers sitting in the cat bedas though it were a chair.

Sometimes It Is Better When It Doesn’t Work Right
Of course, it is easy to point out that perhaps developers could have made accessories such as the glasses adjust to fit the faces of villagers like Rocco, but I like it better this way. In a way, this makes me want to see some hippo and octopusvillagers move to my island, so I can give them glasses.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers shows some impressive singing skills, but a jamming gyroid steals the show with its hilarious flailing.
Having silly moments such as glasses not being worn properly or a cat villager sitting on the floor in a cat bed are part ofACNH’s charm and make the game the cheerful experience it is.This isn’t supposed to be a game that takes itself too seriously, and it could be a good reminder that sometimes it is okay to just laugh when things don’t go right, whether in a game likeAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, or even in real life.
