i don't get it either OP, it's a fucking snoozefest. It's like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley but without anything to do.

The issue is that Animal Crossing fans always try way too hard to act humble, so they don't put any effort into trying to sell the game to people or at least explain the appeal of it. They just go "it's a comfy little town simulator teehee" and leave it there without expanding on it any further, leaving people to believe that the game has no point, but it does, it has many points. If you are having trouble understanding the game then I don't blame you, because it seems like no-one wants to try and articulate why they enjoy it.
I'll do my best to explain why Animal Crossing is so addicting:
The main gimmick is that it’s a living and breathing game that’s active and running when you’re not playing. Every time you come back to the game something has changed while you were gone because it simulates a real town 24/7. Think of it like an advanced Tamagotchi except instead of raising a pet, you’re living a second life in a little village populated by animal people.
Everything in the game has a unique cause and effect reaction, everything you do has a payoff that feels genuinely rewarding, and the whole game is all about setting up things so that when you come back the next day you will see how your actions have changed the game world.
You can't achieve or obtain anything easily in Animal Crossing so the payoff feels great and that dopamine rush is what keeps you hooked, you're always seeking that next high, the game is way less dull than it looks because you're always working towards something.
People don't play Animal Crossing because they just loooooove listening to the stupid animals talk and repeat the same sentences over and over, it's because the sense of progression in the game is addictive by nature.
There, you literally no excuse to continue asking this stupid fucking question now.
Trust me, Animal Crossing wouldn't be as popular and successful as it is if it was just a "boring and aimless town simulator with nothing to do."
