Best Tips To Master Custom Designs In Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing is at its best when you show off your individual flair! Here are some effective ways to master designing in Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers a seemingly endless amount of possibilities to show off your style thanks to extensive customization options. This video will break down several of our favorite methods for customizing our island, whether it’s the ground and pathways, or our furniture and house. The first step is to secure the Able Sisters tailor shop on your island, while also making sure that you have the Nintendo mobile app downloaded and connected with your copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Once all the technical steps are out of the way it’s time to customize.

An excellent way to get custom designs is through social media such as Twitter, using hashtags like #ACNHDesigns. Simply enter the creator code at a kiosk located in the Able Sisters shop to gain access to all of that creator’s custom designs, or enter the code for a specific design itself. QR codes can also be scanned via your mobile device in the Nintendo app. If you’re curious what items can have custom designs applied to them, check your Nook Phone in game. The DIY app will show you all the recipes you currently have unlocked and those that are customizable will have a paint brush in the top left hand corner, although not every piece of furniture that is customizable will allow custom designs.

There are a lot of ways to make an island your own, and plenty of online resources that we have linked in the description below. If you want to know more about Animal Crossing, whether that’s how to make some extra money or how to terraform your island, check out our channel for all of our video guides on Animal Crossing: New Horizons!
