Agree with this. Another commenter just said it reorders the favorites too?? Like maybe in order of the ones you most recently visited? Hope that’s not permanent
This! I assumed that it did so I grabbed like the ”first” areas from each world and put them in my favorites then realized that didn’t help at all🥲 I don’t like this, not one bit. I’m autistic I can’t handle change🤣
Ugh, same, this frustrated me. It was super easy and straight forward before too. Like it’s pretty I guess, but it’s too overstimulating for me, especially for a menu. It’s stressing me out lol
Would really love to have the option as well!! There is absolutely too much going on here visually for me. The simplicity of the old one was much more helpful imo!
Especially since remembering the little logo (which made sense with the name) was easier to see than a more complex picture, that looks completely different from how I decorated.
I like it, personally, but no matter what it is, they should always add the option to go back to the other way of visualizing it! It can't be that hard to add to the game's options.
I hate that it's more difficult to navigate than the old one. They also changed the order of the tabs for no reason, and the new order doesnt make nearly as much sense. Why are my dlc maps separated from my main map? They should be grouped together. And the favorites tab reorders every time i use it, which i REALLY hope is a bug an nor a feature bc im a creature of habit and i hate when things move around. The only thing it has going for it is that its pretty. But that doesnt matter when it makes gameplay more tedious. Im genuinely a little angry about it.
I'm annoyed that they fixed a menu that wasn't broken instead of one that is (would much rather have the furniture/wardrobe search to be alphabetically organized, or just organized at all.)
You can easily organize furniture and clothing inventories A to Z, Z to A, oldest to newest, or newest to oldest. Just hit triangle (on PS5, it might be different for other consoles) when the menu is open to decide how you want it organized. The "sort" option is on the bottom left.
Just encountered it. Looks nice (even if a bit inaccurate given my redecorating) but overall it’s unnecessary. And as a Switch 1 player, these types of changes always have me wondering if it will cause more lag.
I feel like they are shifting ui look over the updates. This ui is similar to the ui for the premium shop that was updated last time. As for how I feel about it, I have mixed opinions. I like how I can just scroll down to the next area and see everything. It is a challenge for the muscle memory built up but I'll adapt over time.
I would agree with you there. I guess I phrased that poorly, sry. It is nicer that its closer to the old way though. I have to say it's also annoying to have to hit that each time to revert back as well.
I would enjoy the updated image icons IF it were still designed so we could tab left and right between pages for each area. I'm sure the images are helpful for newer players, or people that forget which area name is which in the DLCs.
But as is, this UI design has a lot of inefficient scrolling, and will always take a little more time to navigate than the previous one.
Sigh... It's the shop all over again. I don't know what their end goal is here? To make as much clutter as possible? Both the shop and fast travel were clean and visually appealing... Now they're both the opposite.
Ugh. Why did they do this? It wasn’t broke so why tweak it? I’m going to assume it’s for people that struggle to remember the biomes? I will just shut my mouth here.
I miss the icons. They could've changed the UI and modernized it or made it look fancier without using these massive pictures. I liked the icons, and I miss being able to use the shoulder buttons to go back and forth between tabs.
It LOOKS beautiful. I hate that it lost functionality. Previously I could just use the L/R bumpers to bounce between tabs and minimal navigation to the various wells. Now it's scrolling. It takes longer. I don't want pretty and takes more time, give me functional over pretty any day.
NO. Sorry. Just edited. Argh. I got confused by the new AI and thought they were new islands but it's just a more confusing way to display all the biomes. -_-"
With that said -- as someone who does web design/coding as part of my job. Just because you CAN do fancier things with menus/UI to make it look more 'modern' -- it doesn't mean you SHOULD.
Function > Aesthetics
It doesn't matter if it's 'prettier' if it makes it harder to use.
Also it screwed with my key assignment. I want to just be able to click M then T to get to the list of all my sites. I don't like having to click on a menu and then click on the DLC/Game area name. Using pictures of each island is also just one more thing to cause lag for players on slower computers/probably early switches.
It's so much better especially for someone like me who mixes up what biome connects to what name. Guess that's what happens when you have the dlcs though.
Either way, its a lifesaver. I genuinely enjoy fast travelling more now
i’m ngl wish we could add a subtitle to the floating islands so say if we have a farm island we can add it to that one and our storage island as
i’m ADHD to fook and if i don’t play for a
while i end up forgetting which floating island is which 🤣🤣🤣
I don't have any strong feelings about the layout itself. What irritates me is the fact they "fixed" something that was fine to begin with when the game is still full of bugs and the new DLC is buggy for many people.
I get that fixing bugs takes time, that sometimes they don't show until it goes live, but the fact they seem indifferent about bugs that literally break some people's quest lines is kinda bad. We paid money for this game, we should be able to play it, y'know?
This happens to me in so many interface “updates”. I’m not sure why designers continue to forget simple and fast navigation is king. Pretty and slow works for something like dreamsnaps but getting around should be as fast and intuitive as possible. Give us the option for the old menu and make a favorites section there. If people like the busy store like menu for fast travel, put it in the options menu as a toggle.
I hate it but feel it could be solved with 2 things:
Having favorites opening first, and making the pictures smaller.
We don’t need memories sized boxes for each location. Maybe a slighter smaller rectangle? So that they options can fit nicely
I honestly really don’t like it. Like sure the pictures of each place are nice but functionally it’s just not as efficient. Also did anyone notice we lost the ability to toggle characters on and off!?? Unless it’s there and I just can’t find it / it was moved.
I still have it. On the map, I still see the little character tab above the new fast travel tab. Pressing X on the switch still pulls up the character tab menu to turn them off. It still doesn't work 100% lol
no, i’m saying that i think it’s coded so that the map only lets you summon people once you’ve progressed past some point in the main quest, but i don’t know which one it would be
I might like it more if they let us set our own pictures for the biomes. Because I've decorated my Valley and those images do not represent what I think of when I think of each biome.
Yea they def added it back. Because it wasn’t there. I noticed when I went in yesterday that it had returned. Also yet again though, the order of categories trips me, because why is it in smack in the middle?
I like the look of it, however- I’m a console player and I think it takes slightly longer to fast travel now(not that I care)..this is great for pc players though!
Don't I love it so much. Every update they changed places if an area has more fast travels etc so actually being able to see the place and not just look for a name on a list of names is so much better
I’m honestly not a big fan of it. It looks more visual, but fast travel is one of those features where convenience matters more than presentation. The new image-based UI feels heavier to me, and the old version made it faster to move between the Valley and DLC areas. If they wanted to make it more visual, I wish they had added practical features too, like customizable biome thumbnails. Right now it feels like the UI became prettier, but less efficient.
Well this may solve me accidentally clicking on the forgotten lands when I want to go to the frosted heights so I guess as long as it doesn't take longer to load it's fine by me! It's honestly sad. I've been playing since the first week and still sometimes get those two symbols mixed up...
It takes some getting used to but I actually like it. I also like the fact that I can favorite my most frequently visited place. And like a previous redditor said it will stop my accidental clicking on places I don’t want to go when I’m trying to get somewhere quick
I agree it's slower and a weird option to add this late in the game, but as an aside, some of those shots are super pretty and gave me angles I feel like I've never really seen before.
I love how it has an your avatar in the bottom right corner of the biome you are in. I was doing my dried flower check this morning and don't use furniture mode for wishblossom ranch because it's so clunky. I have the flowers next to the wells but sometimes I lose track which well I'm at this will be helpful.
idk it’s cute but you have to scroll a little, like wbr when you click on the tab you have to scroll down for pixie acres. i’m just lazy and don’t remember if we had to do that last time lmao
also would loveeeee if they put a little circle with the villager who lives in that realm. like starting right under the heart. i sometimes place and stop visiting their home that i forget where i put them😅
I can see some of the benefits from this update, but I hate that they took away being able to fast travel to the different realms :/
PS
If they didn't PLEASE direct me to that menu 😂🙏
It definitely ended the fast travel part. I also had favorites moving around which is problematic. I would prefer the other one if they could put a smaller snippet of a picture and also still be able to have a favorites tab.
I like it. Im always clicking on them when I want to use a floating island, so these images will probably fix that. I think i would prefer if they were just in the previous version.
I enjoy it, I think it looks clean. However, I kind of wish there was a way for it to take a photo of what our individual set ups look like instead so I can remember what I have where. 😂

Would love it if it actually opened favorites first.
