[3DS] Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer ROM

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (AC:HHD) was first released by Nintendo on the Nintendo 3DS in 2015 as a spin-off of the popular Animal Crossing life simulation game series. The unique aspect of Happy Home Designer is the change in gameplay, which is reflected in its name. While games in the Animal Crossing series always focus on building and managing town life, Happy Home Designer revolves around a very small and distinct aspect: decorating the interiors of houses in the town. You play as an employee of Nook’s Homes, which handles all tasks related to home renovation and interior decoration for the town’s residents. Your and the company’s working principle is to comply with all requests from the town residents and, based on their personal preferences, finalize the interiors of homes and turn them into the dream homes of customers.

Happy Home Designer caused division in the gaming community due to its unique nature. Some praised the creative freedom and significantly improved design mechanics compared to the original game, but some criticized Nintendo for selling it as a standalone game rather than as DLC for the original game to sell amiibo cards. However, we cannot deny that AC:HHD has great appeal to a significant portion of those who enjoy the home decoration aspect of Animal Crossing. This game has no real-time pressures or other complex demands; it allows players to freely immerse themselves in design work without any external obstacles.

Compared to the original game, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, AC:HHD is not as diverse in content. All elements of this game focus more deeply on one specific aspect: interior decoration. If New Leaf turned you into a mayor and put you in charge of building and managing an entire town with animal residents, AC:HHD only turns you into an architect capable of interior design. This aspect of the game might disappoint hardcore fans of the traditional Animal Crossing series, but it is a gift for those who love decorating and building home interiors. AC:HHD can be seen as a large DLC focusing on the house design features in New Leaf. It maintains familiar traditional elements while providing tons of powerful tools and an item catalog for you to unleash your creativity with constructions.

Notable and unique features:

Focus on the creative design element of the original game: This is the core difference that makes many love and hate this game. Players will be employees of Nook’s Homes. You will start your daily work by receiving requests from animal residents to design the interior and exterior of their homes. If small houses are not enough for your creativity, the game also allows you to design public facilities such as schools, hospitals, restaurants, stores, etc., as long as you have enough ability and passion. Under your design hand, the town’s pristine lands will quickly transform into bustling places.

Huge and easily accessible item catalog: Instead of having to wait or collect items in real-time like in Animal Crossing games, everything in Happy Home Designer is laid out for you as soon as you start working. There are no limits, and you have full access to and use of thousands of different items to do your job. This generosity makes it easy for players to experiment and create without limits.

Unlimited creative freedom: The game is simply completely relaxing because it has no scoring system or ranking for your designs. Although resident requests are an important criterion for completing the job, you can be completely creative with your designs and still satisfy customers. Public facility design: You can take on larger functional areas in the town. Clearly, seeing residents use the structures you create brings a significant sense of accomplishment.

Amiibo Cards support: Players can use Amiibo Cards to invite specific characters to be clients, allowing you to design homes for your favorite characters. Amiibo can also be used to place characters into completed designs for photos.

Happy Home Network: An online feature that allows players to share their designs with the community and visit other players’ homes worldwide. This is an endless source of inspiration and helps extend the game experience.

Happy Home Designer is controversial because it does not provide the comprehensive “life simulation” feel of the original Animal Crossing games, but it has its own appeal that only those passionate about creativity and interior decoration can feel. The game was once sold as a standalone game in the series, but you can now download its original ROM and play it on the Citra emulator. Have fun!
