Everytime I use NPC Map Locations, I feel like I'm cheating. It feels unrealistic and it takes away any gratification I feel from having full hearts with all of the villagers late game because one peek at the map and I know where they are to talk to them or give them a gift just to raise my relationship bar with them.
On the other hand, without it, I'll just be spending an unnecessary amount of time looking everywhere for them when I could be using most of it doing something much more important such as fishing for the nth time hoping to catch a legend.
Which is why I propose that we should instead have a mod where you can ask for a certain villager's location to other villagers. Not only is it a much more realistic way of determining their location than somehow planting a gps of some sort to see where the villagers are, it can also be much more interactive depending on the villager's personality and their relationship level with you!
Take Emily for example. She shows a friendly disposition who will be kind enough to share where her sister is regardless of their relationship level with you. In comparison, since Shane is much more unapproachable at the beginning, he'll rudely ask you to piss off when asking where Marnie is just to get two hearts to access her room and give the Governor a taste of how crusty is the Mayor's ol' shorts at the Luau (lmao). Of course, this will change when you stuff enough beer and pepper poppers into the man, and will be more than willing to be an ignorant accomplice to your plan of giving the governor food poisoning.
But not all villagers know where everyone is unless they saw them or was told where the other would be, right? Families like Maru, Robin and Demetrius are almost always aware of where each other are, except for Sebastian who would probably keep to himself that they like to spend some time on the docks, watching the ocean in the rain, like the wind isn't slamming their face with a face full of rain water like a total dork.
Non-familial villagers, however, can keep track of where others are by witnessing where they were last seen or if they are friends and would've already known their friend's habits and whereabouts. Pretty sure Leah would've known where Elliot was holing himself in, but they would probably be more specific and generous with the information after a few more hearts.
So yeah, feel free to expand this mod idea as I'm on the verge of passing out while writing this at 3 in the morning. I would prefer if this mod can be compatible with the mobile version as I'm too broke to afford a computer rn. No pressure though. I apologize for grammar mistake as English ain't my primary language, even though I've consumed foreign media throughout my childhood haha
Thank you for coming to my TED talk lmao.
