I made the Black Lives Matter shirt in three different styles (t-shirt, tank top, and hoodie).
Making BLM shirts for a video game is literally the least I could do to fight against the rampant systemic racism and police brutality in this country, but here they are if you want to show support in ACNH.
These designs are great for celebrating Pride Month in game, since this quarantine has put a damper on the real-life festivities. I made a bi pride dress and a rainbow tank-top. I’ll also share the code for my Bi Pride flag, which I use as my island’s flag.
This dress based on the bi pride flag was one of the first custom designs I created for ACNH. I often see Cherry wearing it. <3
I made this rainbow tank top to give my animals more choices in how they represent themselves.
I’m apparently not creative, so I just used the Bi Pride flag as my island’s flag. A lot of random strangers who visit from Nookazon seem to like it though!
I made this bee costume because my niece wanted to dress her character up as a bee. I really like how the wings turned out on this one.
I like to wear this with my crown (the small 1,000,000 bells one) so that I can be a Queen Bee. It also works well with the black Imp Hood, which looks kinda like insect antennae.
Here is another cosplay I made for Animal Crossing New Horizons: Misty from Pokemon. My male animals seem to really like wearing this outfit for some reason…
Anyway, pair this top with the blue Denim Cutoffs and the orange Hi-Tech Sneakers, and you’ll be good to go! Use the orange pigtails hairstyle, since there isn’t a side-ponytail hairstyle option (from the default hairstyles set).
Here is another custom design code for a cosplay I created in Animal Crossing New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch: Squid Girl cosplay dress.
I like to wear this with the white Knit Hat, which is the closest thing I could find to Squid Girl’s squid head/hat (my custom design attempts for the hat didn’t work out too well). Make your hair blue with a long hairstyle and wear white shoes, such as the Mary Janes, with short blue socks (such as light blue Vivid Socks).
I’ll be posting a few more custom designs for ACNH today, so stay tuned!
I know I made this same cosplay design for for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but I decided to just redesign in for ACNH instead of importing it via my old QR code. Just enter the design code or my creator code into the kiosk in the Able Sisters’ shop.
I haven’t found any socks or leggings that really work well for this cosplay in ACNH, but the monotone Striped Socks are probably the closest. The red Mary Janes work well for shoes. Use a pink hair style, though there aren’t any purple hair ribbons to complete the look (at least not yet. Hopefully Nintendo will add some more items in future updates).
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a cute spin-off game for the NIntendo 3DS in the popular Animal Crossing series.
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a 3DS spin-off game in the Animal Crossing series published by Nintendo. It was developed by Nintendo with the assistance of Monolith Soft. This game was released in Japan in July 2015, in North America in September 2015, and in PAL regions in October 2015. Unlike the main series Animal Crossing games, this game revolves mainly around designing homes for the animal villagers.

Though a lot of Animal Crossing fans were disappointed that the two newest installments of the Animal Crossing series are spin-offs, I am enjoying Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival.
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is a lot like Mario Party. It is a virtual board game based on the Animal Crossing series. The biggest difference is that there aren’t mini-games throughout the main board game (though there are mini-games available to unlock in the main hub). Each board features a different month, with each turn representing a day. Throughout the month, various fun events will happen, just as they do in the main Animal Crossing games.
The developers admitted that this game was made just so they would have an excuse to make Animal Crossing Amiibo. I am okay with that!
This game centers around the use of Amiibo. Each player uses an Amiibo to represent their character. The game comes with an Isabelle and Digby Amiibo to get you started, as well as three Amiibo cards. Tom Nook, Mable, and a three pack containing KK Slider, Reese, and Cyrus are also available now (Lottie is scheduled to be released this Sunday 11/22, and more characters are coming within the next few months. The Villager Amiibo doesn’t work in this game.). If you play by yourself, you will have three CPU controlled Villagers to play against (or you can select 2-4 players and play using multiple Amiibo by yourself as though you actually have friends to play with. Not that I have tried that… #foreveralone).
The only controller required for the main board game is the Wii U GamePad. Each player takes turns using it. To roll the die during your turn, you have to place your Amiibo on the GamePad. This does get a little annoying after awhile.
After rolling the die, you land on a space where either something good or bad happens. You can earn or lose Bells and/or Happy Points. The player who ends up with the most Happy Points at the end is the winner. The Bells aren’t completely useless, however. At the end of the game, Bells are converted to Happy Points (1000 Bells = 1 Happy Point). On Sundays throughout the game, Joan arrives to sell turnips. You can sell these turnips during weekdays at the end of each turn to try to make a profit on your investment, just like in the main Animal Crossing games.
As you play more games with a specific character, you can unlock new outfits for them to wear. You will also earn tickets to unlock new mini-games and new features for the game board. You can also use the Animal Crossing Amiibo cards to play these mini-games and let the featured animal move into your town and appear on the game board.
This game is a bit slow-paced, just like the regular Animal Crossing games. The overall mood of the game is incredibly happy and upbeat. It is difficult to be sad while playing this game, even when you land on a “sad” space.
I made a few Halloween designs in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer to help you get into the Halloween spirit! Incorporate them into you home designs to help the animal villagers decorate for Halloween! Just scan the QR codes you want into your game. They will work with Animal Crossing: New Leaf as well.
First up is a witch costume Pro Design. Let your favorite villager dress up in this costume for Halloween! (If the image is too small to scan, click on it to enlarge.)
Are you sad your character can’t wear a fun costume in Happy Home Designer? You can still get into the Halloween spirit with this witch standee Pro Design. It makes for fun photo-ops for your villagers’ Halloween parties! (Again, click the image to enlarge if the codes won’t scan).
I also made some fun designs that can be used as artwork, worked into custom furniture remodels, worn on clothing, or displayed however you want. I made a spooky ghost, spider, and Jack ‘o lantern. These are standard designs that can be used on anything.
Jack ‘o Lantern:
Creepy Spider:
Spooky Ghost:
Do you have any Halloween designs for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer or Animal Crossing: New Leaf to share? Let me know in the comments!
I got Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer last Friday before heading out to Midoricon. Though it is a bit different from the main series games, it is still just as fun! As long as you don’t go into it expecting it to be like the previous Animal Crossing titles, if you are a fan of the series, you are sure to enjoy this cute little spin off. I don’t believe that the negative reviews are justified, since it never claims to be a regular Animal Crossing game.
In Happy Home Designer, you are a new employee of Nook Homes. Your job is to design the interior and exterior of the animal residents’ new homes. As you progress, you can choose the location of their homes, unlock new items to include in your designs, and earn upgrades to make bigger and better homes. You also get to design public buildings, such as shops, a doctor’s office, and a school. You can design the homes and buildings however you want, but there are certain items that must be included for most projects. For example, the school rooms require a teacher’s desk and at least four chairs and tables.
The Amiibo cards are a fun addition, but they aren’t necessary to have fun playing the game if you aren’t interested in collecting them. Most of the cards allow you do design homes for villagers that will randomly show up in the game anyway. There are special cards, however, that let you call “Special People,” such as Isabelle or Tortimer. Each pack comes with five regular cards and one special card. As with other types of trading cards, each pack contains random cards. They’re kind of like the Animal Crossing e-Reader cards, if anyone remembers those. You can also use the Amiibo cards to invite villagers over to visit animals for whom you have already designed a home.
You can also share your designs and visit other players’ houses via the Happy Home Network. You can rate designs in the Happy Home Network for cuteness, coolness, uniqueness, and if you would live there.
The back of the box for this game says that there is Streetpass, but I haven’t found any Streetpass features so far. There is a special villager you can meet via Nintendo Zone locations right now, however. He comes with special Mario items.
You can unlock new customization features by spending play coins via a handbook on your desk. I imagine this could get annoying if you never walk around with your 3Ds to earn play coins. I wonder if this is Nintendo’s way of telling kids to stop playing games and go walk around outside. You can complete one lesson from the handbook per in-game day. The unlockable upgrades include things like custom curtains for the homes, the ability to create your own custom designs, and the ability to use the sewing machine to import designs from QR codes. QR codes created New Leaf work in Happy Home Designer as well.
I wish you could have your own house, but at least you can visit all of the homes you have already designed whenever you want. I also wish you could change your outfit. Your character is stuck wearing their work uniform. Maybe they could add the ability to have your own house to go home to after work, where you could dress however you want. Perhaps they could let you change into regular clothes after work hours while visiting public buildings as well.
Based on some other reviews I’ve read, I guess Happy Home Designer isn’t for everyone. If you enjoy decorating in Animal Crossing or want to visit your favorite Animal Crossing characters whenever you want, it is definitely worth picking up! At least this game lets you have Animal Crossing fun without worrying about losing your favorite villagers or returning to a town filled with weeds if you take a few months off!
What do you think of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer so far? Do you plan on getting Amiibo Party too, or are you going to skip these spin-off games and hold out for a new main-series game for Wii U? Let me know in the comments!
