Hi friends! We love a good grandmacore island with all the Animal Crossing villagers who feel a little bit cozy, home-y, and gentle-natured (and hey, a few with spunk). While many of these are female “grandma” kinda villagers, I included a few grandpas as well. Whether you just love gentle villagers or are building an elderly/retirement community island, I think you’ll love these 20 choices.
