Tom Nook has sure came a long way. His character development from a pushy sales person to the gentle soul we see now is really heartwarming. He’s rekindled old relationships and took the Tibble twins under his wing-making them successful themselves. Teaching them the right ways to manage and act. Tom’s awesome :)

[@normaalcaraz6]

Mhm! He even donated 90% of the money to orphanages. And maybe Timmy and Tommy loves to work, in New Horizons, Tom Nook’s character handed the Nook’s Cranny business to Timmy and Tommy, their New Horizons age are 18.

Tom Nook's personality changes a lot throughout the games, and I kinda like to study him and other villagers, so here's the evolution of his personality. I don't know about Animal Forest. Tom Nook in 2001 is... Kinda mean. I know, it's a game, but I think every villager in the GameCube era was less forgiving than now. In Wild World, which I don't have (I have the original and New Horizons) he's layed back and calm. I don't know about any other games. In New Horizons, Nook is, actually pretty nice. he is probably the most layed back other villagers have ever seen him in.

[@enemyv1380]

In New Leaf he is kinda nice. He gives you a tend, his debts aren't big and he even let you change your house apparence before paying yiur debts off. In Happy Home Designer he is your boss but he is never working cuz he is always playing golf; that said, he admit he spent lot of the money he receive for orphans.

[@dolphiniz1754]

He really became less businessy and nicer over time

I love Tom Nook, I wish people wouldn't hate on him so much. You could literally get a loan from him and never pay it back, he is that chill. And even if he does charge a little bit more sometimes, that is only to add a bit more difficulty to the game.

[@ybskldrs]

I know I’m late, but yeah he doesn’t even charge interest and subtly lets you get away with not paying the final loan in ACNH. What a chill dude.
