In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, my loop is a literal, counter-clockwise run around the island. The LoopA few days in I fell into a nostalgic pattern: The loop. The well of things to buy, find, and now, craft, is seemingly bottomless - and may continue to expand, depending on what Nintendo's unannounced update plans turn out to be. Projectors and lamps that you can turn on, turntables and boomboxes to play music that you collect, and even animated wallpaper. But the new home decorator is better than ever as well, with a brilliant new tool to easily place everything without having to handle it, a 360-degree view, and tons of cool, interactive things you can add to your house. I lost myself in island decoration (partially because the act of decorating your island, in turn, unlocks more tools) and began to neglect expanding and decorating my home. The total freedom to create a custom island has me more excited than anything else in New Horizons, and I eagerly await fan community tributes to Zelda, Mario, and other pop culture recreations, along with original designs. You can make a cool beach hangout, or a zen temple on a cliffside, just by dropping things on the ground. You can also build bridges and ramps to make your island's far reaches easily accessible, and move any buildings you'd like, at any time.įinally, you can place the things you craft and buy anywhere outdoors as well, which represents another huge leap forward in fun customization. ![]() You can flatten your entire island and raise a pyramid of waterfalls decorated in skulls, if you want that Bond villain vibe. I love the terraforming tools above all else: you can form hills, cliffs, land bridges, waterfalls, lakes, miniature islands, and rivers with ease. The customizable island is a huge advancement. Custom FitOne way or another, eventually you will have access to the tools to make your island whatever you want it to be, and that's where Animal Crossing: New Horizons really breaks from its predecessors - and where it shines. After that, most of your island layout tools are unlocked and you should be good to go, and the temptation to jump through time should wane. So resorting to this was a tough decision for me, but one that I'd grudgingly recommend for the first 15 or so in-game days. In the 3DS’ Animal Crossing: New Leaf, I staunchly refused to change the clock and spent the full actual year collecting all the bugs, fish, and seasonal treats available. It's important to note that New Horizons has built-in penalties for abusing time travel, so Nintendo recognizes time travel is part of Animal Crossing, but lightly discourages it - so you can treat it like cheat codes for money in The Sims 4, or quicksaving every three seconds in Fallout 4.
