As revealed in the Animal Crossing Direct, some new DLC is coming to the game: Happy Home Paradise! This game mode involves you decorating some vacation homes for your villagers to live in.
Once Tom Nook gives you a reference to the Happy Home Designers, you'll be allowed to fly to a far-off archipelago through Dodo Airlines. (
by selecting "I want to work!" when speaking to Orville Various villagers will then visit the islands, each one having their own unique ideas of what their dream vacation home should look like. For an example, Maple wants various plush bears in her Vacation home. Upon picking the villager you want to help, you then have to choose where on the archipelago the vacation home will be built. There are many choices, from the regular plains, a desert, and even a snow-covered area!
After picking the spot, head inside and place the designated furniture the villager wants. After doing that, everything else is up to you, so stylize it however you want! The game will give you some recommended furniture to use, but you don't have to if you don't want to.
You can also stylize the outside of the building as well, placing furniture, fences, trees, and flowers wherever you want. You can also move the house if you wish to place it elsewhere. You can also change the season, time of day, and weather to really bring out how the vacation home looks!
As you continue to make vacation homes for the villagers, new options for further house making will be added, such as modifying the width and length of the house! You can also use partition walls to divide the space in the house, pillars, and counters with varying sizes to really spruce up a house! You can also modify the house's lighting to enhance the mood of whatever it is you've built. You can even add soundscapes to really add depth to the house's atmosphere, such as the sound of the ocean waves, or the sounds of construction.
You can also polish the various items you placed down. Polishing will slightly modify whatever item you placed down, such as making the item sparkle, or in the case of plants, having butterflies fly around near the flower.
Once you finished building the vacation home, head back to the Happy Home Office to get compensated from your work. Instead of receiving bells, you receive Poki, which you can use to buy items exclusive to the Happy Home Island.
As you receive more requests, new items will be added to your repertoire. If you want, you can use these newly acquired items to remodel the vacation homes you've previously built.
You can also have two villagers share a vacation home! Hopefully the two you pick can get along, ha ha!
Back on the main island of the archipelago, there are a lot of abandoned buildings. As you progress building vacation homes for clients, you can repurpose these houses into faculties, such as a school, a hospital, or a restaurant!
The vacation homes you designed are captured in photos as design examples, and added to a portfolio. You can view these at anytime with the Happy Home Network. You can also use it to visit the homes of previous clients to see how they are doing.
By connecting online, you can share what houses you've made online, as well as see what vacation homes others have built. Perhaps you can even use them as inspiration for whatever you're building!
If you have an Animal Crossing amiibo figure or amiibo card, you can scan it at the Happy Home Office to make a vacation home for the character you're scanning! Perfect if you want to make a vacation home for a villager you like but aren't getting to come to the island, or to make one for the special characters like Timmy and Tommy Nook!
Additionally, all of the skills and items you've acquired at the archipelago can be used back at your main island, so you can really spice up your house!
If you've bought a souvenir, you can give it to one of your villagers back home. Doing so may get them interested in the archipelago, where you can build them a vacation home!
Once you've created a certain number of vacation homes, you'll be allowed to remodel the exterior of your villager's homes at your main island!
Happy Home Paradise will be launching on November 5th, 2021, with pre-orders starting at October 29th of this month. You can either purchase the Happy Home Paradise expansion, or get it as a bonus if you purchase the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. If you go with the latter, you won't be able to access Happy Home Paradise after your subscription runs out, but you'll still have all of the items you have acquired.
