Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a beautiful game that shows that Nintendo have really listened to the Animal Crossing fanbase. Additionally, they have been on the ball with patching any issues that have arisen. However, nothing can be 100% perfect. Therefore, these are some of the changes that players would like to see in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Access To Your Storage From Outside Of Your House
Even with 40 inventory slots I find my pockets get pretty full. And like, I don’t want to carry that Monster statue or that pool around with me whilst I’m landscaping yanno? They weigh a tonne. So please Nintendo, let us access our items in storage whilst outdoors. Even if we need to build/buy a storage box(es), it would save us some time and effort.
Being Able To Access Your Materials In Storage When Crafting In Your House
I find it particularly annoying to up to the diy workbench in my house, try to craft an item, only to be told I don’t have the 6 iron nuggets or whatever necessary. And you know you have 30 of them in your storage so have to leave the workbench, get the items out of storage, and then try again. It’s not too much hassle, but a patch that allows you to craft using resources in storage would be nice.
Being Able To Craft Multiple Items At Once
This would be especially helpful when crafting items such as fish bait. Being able to batch craft items would be so much quicker and so much easier. It would be even cooler if you could craft a variety of different items at once, providing you have the materials to do so.
Being Able To Travel From One Mystery Tour Island To Another
Obviously you would need enough Nook Miles Tickets on you to hop from one deserted island to another. However, it would save a lot of time, and the hassle of going through the same dialogue with Orville over and over.
The Ability To Add Multiple Variations Of Clothing To Your Cart In The Able Sisters Store
The changing room is a pretty cool way of seeing how items of that particular day look on your character, and to browse the different variations of clothing items. However, It’s quite frustrating to have to keep re-entering the changing room if you want to purchase multiple variations of a clothing item. Why not be able to just add them all to your cart?
Letting You Know What Items You Already Have When Shopping At Nook’s Cranny Or The Able Sisters
I must have ordered the same darn rose wallpaper three or four times by now, as there are so many floral printed ones, and I can never remember if I have that particular one in my storage or not. The same with clothing, I have like 3 pairs of white patterned stockings because I have the memory of a goldfish. Therefore it would be cool if you were able to see if you already have these items in your storage, or have ordered them previously.
A Meter To Show Your Friendship With Other Islanders
Whilst you can somewhat gauge your friendship with islanders (being able to give them presents when talking to them, etc), it would be nice to know exactly how pally you are with them. Especially if you don’t want them to feel neglected and leave your island. Therefore a friendship meter would be a cool addition to the game.
A Meter To Show Much Life Is Left In A Tool
Some tools last longer than others in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, not even the golden tools will last forever. Therefore it would be helpful to know how much life is left in each tool via a meter. Then you could go customize it and reset its durabilitity (works with regular tools)… ;D
Highlighted Areas When Terraforming
Terraforming drives me crazy as I’m forever creating cliffs where I don’t want them and and creating random tiny ponds when waterscaping. It would be very helpful if you could see exactly where you will be terraforming, like when placing bridges and inclines for example.
Being Able To Assemble Outfits And Add Them To Your Wand Without Taking The Clothing From Your Wardrobe
If I only have one pair of glasses in my wardrobe, they can only be assigned to one wand outfit and will be taken from my wardrobe. Meaning unless I buy a bunch more, my character is essentially blind when wearing other assigned outfits, like I’d be without my specs.
Knowing what ‘theme’ clothes belong to in order to help assemble an outfit for Label
Sometimes it can be a bit tricky knowing what Label is looking for. She will give you hints and an item of clothing to help, but take her ‘formal’ challenge for example. She suggest something you might wear to a friend’s graduation, but gave me a school blazer. I’ve dressed up as a queen and a schoolgirl and both seem to get her approval, interestingly.
Being Able To Order The Different Colour Variations Of An Item You Have Previously Bought
Take the frilly ankle socks for example, you only purchased the pink version, but got your hands on a yellow dreamy dress. You’d like some yellow frilly ankle socks to go with it. Only you have to wait until the Able Sisters next have the frilly ankle socks available. Unless you time-travel, but doggo does a disapproval.

Players have been posting some intriguing dialogue from their island’s residents to social media. Tweets of videos and screenshots shared from players’ Switch consoles and things people have noticed themselves, have left us Animal Crossing fans puzzled but excited. In a future update, it’s possible that an expanded museum, Brewster, and more shops could come to Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
An Expanded Museum
You may have noticed that the museum has a staircase leading to nowhere. Additionally, there is a cordoned off area in the far back right-hand side of the fossil section of the museum. This could simply be for decor however. You might also have noticed that the museum lacks a section for art, unlike previous games of the franchise. Excitingly, Twitter user @sylvidia posted the following tweet of a conversation between her and Fang:
Could an art section be included in an update?
Brewster And The Roost
The Roost, is a coffee shop run by a pigeon called Brewster. Brewster has appeared in all of the mainline games (as well as the film and some non-mainline games) since Wild World. He will always seem rather reserved at first, but will bond with players if you visit him and buy coffee a lot.
Therefore ’tis a crying shame that the coo-l pigeon is yet to make an appearance in New Horizons. This may be about to change however, due to the dialogue of Clay (shown below) who says that Brewster advised him not to drink that much coffee:
Additionally, in a French screenshot, villager Olympe (Maddie in English versions) specifically mentions Brewster and the Roost. You can tell this due to the colours of the words, which always indicate characters and places.
More Shops
Upon speaking to Isabelle in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, she sometimes gives an unusual tip. She says the island could do with more storefronts, but we can only build two, so are Nintendo planning more?
Below are some of the past shops/vendors/buildings that may or may not make a reappearance.
City folk introduced a variety of new shops/buildings/vendors to the Animal Crossing franchise. These include:
- The Auction House
- The Fortune Shop
- GracieGrace
- Kicks
- Phineas
- Shampoodle
- The Happy Home Academy
- The Marquee
New Leaf introduced the following shops/buildings:
- Club Lol
- The Dream Suite
- Leif’s Gardening Store
- The Photo Booth
Likelihood Of These Shops/Building/Vendors Returning
The marquee from City Folk is unlikely to be a building that players can visit, as players can now learn new reactions from other islanders.
Similarly, Club Lol is highly unlikely to make a return, as after progressing to a certain point in the game, K.K. Slider appears at the plaza on Saturdays, and takes song requests after 6pm.
The Happy Home Academy is also unlikely to be one of the buildings to appear in an update given that they sneakily evaluate your home without you noticing and will score/award you via mail.
Shampoodle is unlikely to be a shop included in an update given how players are able to change their own facial features and hairstyles and colors.
It’s possible that kicks could set up his own shop, especially as he is the only vendor of backpacks and bags. However, for the time being, he is one of the island’s travelling merchants.
Whilst nothing has hinted to it as of yet, the fortune teller’s tent/store run by Katrina would be a desirable addition to islands.
Again, nothing has hinted at there being a GracieGrace store in a future update, this was always a place where players could purchase high-end (albeit a little pricey) furniture.
Phineas has had two different roles in the franchise. His first appearance was in City Folk, and his second was in New Leaf. It’s unlikely he will hand out scout-like badges to players like in New Leaf, as Nook Miles have kind of replaced that. However, it would be super cute to see him handing out free pinwheels and balloons to players in the plaza, like he would do in the city in City Folk.
As there currently isn’t a section for art in the game’s museum, it would make sense that Redd would not appear and sell (mostly) fake art. However, it is possible he could appear in an update, especially if the museum had an art section.
It’s unlikely the Photo Booth from New Leaf will return, as players have a camera app on their NookPhone.
The Dream Suite would be a nice addition, as it would allow players to visit other people’s islands and share their own without the worry of anything being destroyed or taken.
Leif’s Gardening Shop would also be a nice addition, as Nook’s cranny is very limited in the plant department.
