Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is like some cousin of the main Animal Crossing games. Instead of running around, paying off your eternal debt to Tom Nook, and dealing with snooty villagers, this game lets you flex your interior design skills. You’re basically an architect and decorator rolled into one, working for Nook’s Home Design (yeah, Tom Nook’s at it again ). Your job? Design dream homes for all your favorite Animal Crossing villagers. Want to give Bob a funky neon gaming room or make Marshal a cozy café-themed pad? Go for it. You can even design schools, hospitals, and shops. It’s like The Sims but with way more charm and zero drama about someone peeing themselves because you forgot to put in a toilet.

Happy Home Designer is super laid-back, which is peak Animal Crossing vibes. It’s not about grinding or stress, it’s about creativity and vibing with your villagers. The controls are smooth, and the customization options are magnific. You can place furniture, change wallpapers, and even tweak the layout of rooms. It’s super satisfying to see your designs come to life, especially when the villagers react to them. Like, when K.K. Slider shows up and starts jamming in the music studio you built for him? Pure serotonin.

But here’s the tea: some fans felt like it was missing the depth of the mainline games. Like, there’s no real goal other than designing, which is cool, but only if you really are into that. 

Also, the amiibo cards? Yeah, they’re kinda a thing. You can use them to invite specific villagers to your designs, which is neat if you’re into collecting, but it can feel a little pay-to-play if you’re not already invested in the amiibo life. Still, you can use wumiibo.
