In New Horizons, weeds are redesigned to more closely resemble realistic weeds and can be plucked and collected as a clump of weeds. is completed, offers a weed pulling service that only takes a day to complete.

In New Leaf, Leif replaces Wisp and once T.I.Y. He is absent in Animal Forest and Wild World, and he no longer provides this service in New Leaf. The player can pull out weeds alone however, Wisp is the only character able to uproot all weeds at once, but it will take a maximum of two weeks to complete. Isabelle ( New Leaf) or Pelly/ Phyllis ( Wild World, City Folk) also comment on the player when asked about Citizen Satisfaction. If a town contains a large number of weeds, villagers may comment about an abundance of weeds in the area. Weeds are also contaminants as they will lower the chance of flowers breeding. Forgetting to pull out the weeds for a long period will result in the appearance of a rafflesia, a large, red flower which attracts flies, further lowering the town rating.

Weeds do not necessarily have to be pulled up but will affect the town's environment.
