Animal Crossing New Leaf featured an extensive pattern design tool that could be used for making paths and adorable pieces of clothing. New Horizons might feature a similiar functionality!

In a recent article from IGN it was revealed that the Nook Phone will have multiple apps but not all apps are accessible in the beginning. As you progress through the game you will unlock more apps that will enable you to do even more in the game.

Nook Phone features Patterns App

One of the apps in question is an application called “patterns” and the icon that comes with it shows a T-Shirt with a pencil. There have been a lot of rumors around pattern creation making a return in New Horizons. One could safely assume this would mean we can draw or create our own designs In some way or another.

The Nintendo 3DS which was the home console for New Leaf came with a stylus for easy drawing on the Screen. The Switch does not come with such tool out of the box, even though Nintendo recently started offering a stylus for Nintendo Switch.

It will be interesting to see how pattern creation works in New Horizons and what our designs can be used for, Clothing? Paths? Maybe even wallpapers for our homes! Making your own design adds a whole new level of customizations to your island! I am excited!
