Hello AC friends! You’re in good company here. I obsess over which villagers to add to my themed islands, which led me to creating all the villager lists. So if you’ve landed here, you are considering a swampcore island theme. It’s green, brown, murky, and lush. Such an interesting ecosystem and I think this theme will be a fun challenge. And fortunately, there are a lot of villagers that lend themselves well to this vibe!
Let’s take a look at them.
