i don't have much to say here, this is a really fun interior design themed dlc that unlocks some neat features in the main game.
I really loved this DLC - I might argue that I preferred it to the base game. I'm not sure what it is, but the concept of creativity with restrictions really appeals to me and Happy Home Paradise thrives under that logic. I have fond memories making countless beautiful and unique house interiors. This expansion also distracted me a lot in the midst of my lowest low, so that probably attributes my fondness towards it.
Por lo menos le da algo más de vida al juego y al venir incluido con Nintendo Switch Online + Pase de expansión, es una gozada.
Lo malo es que se tarda mucho y la mejor forma de jugar es ir tranquilo tomándose uno su tiempo para diseñar cada casa vacacional e instalación.
Una vez que se consigue el objetivo de construir todas las casas e instalaciones, el evento final se disfruta muchísimo y encima te vas llevando cosas a tu isla incluso emociones nuevas y mecánicas novedosas.
Está muy bien para desestresarse. Tanto que cada vez que abro el juego acabo entreteniéndome por el camino antes de ir a trabajar y al final se convierte esto en un atrapa bobos en el que se te pasan las horas muy fácilmente pero es terapéutico.

Enhances the ACNH experience by miles
This is exactly what ACNH needed. Opening up the catalogue, allowing players to decorate other villager homes although it does get a little repetitive. But nevertheless, it enhanced my ACNH experience
fun! basically happy home designer. I miss the cast of that game though, even if these guys are cute. some cool features added.
More fun than the base game but still cant help but make you largely aware of how little furniture and items it has when compared to the phone game or even new leaf.
such an amazing and unique concept, and made many improvements from happy home designer until now.
I blame this shit for me procrastinating on my videos.
As someone who loves Happy Home Designer, this was so much fun and it made ACNH achieve greatness for me
Plein de nouveau objets cool dans ce DLC à débloquer pour le jeu principal et c'est très relaxant de décorer les maisons des habitants ou d'améliorer l'île. Puis ce "générique" de fin complètement stylé <3
No pensé que me pudiese enganchar tanto la mecánica de decorar casitas peeero así fue. El único problema fue que ahora volver a decorar en el juego base se hace un poco cuesta arriba.
main game was already basically this but harder to get items so honestly i like this dlc more
Happy home designer but better (except for the online stuff its hot garbage compared to HHD)
when animal crossing new horizons is a shallow and superficial experience that's less like animal crossing and more like a series of customizable doll houses, you would hope that an expansion that centers around decoration and customization would be good.
it is. thats all i really have to say about it
it is. thats all i really have to say about it
this is my favorite part of acnh put into a dlc. i love interior designing in this game, gives me so much envy on how i would like my real life house to look like. nico is also super cute.
The ending was AMAZING. Love that you can design for all villagers and NPCs
Pretty fun! I remember having the 3DS game, glad that they made this an available DLC.
Happy Home Paradise is a great little DLC for New Horizons. The game takes a completely new spin, almost feeling like a different game at times. I love designing little places for Tia, Stu, and especially my boy Lucha. Base game is of course better, but for an add-on expansion, I think this serves the game well. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but I had a good, brief time with the Happy Home Paradise.
Overall, I rank Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise a 7.25/10
Game #9 of 2024

I had thankfully recieved this DLC expansion for Animal Crossing: New Horizons via the NSO subscription. When I got access to the Happy Home Paradise DLC, I was almost overwhelmed to what was on offer. To put it in a short summary, it is essentially the spinoff title - Happy Home Designer, but expanded upon.
This DLC is basically meeting up with the Happy Home Academy and teaming up with Lottie to help create homes for animal villagers. That's it. That's the DLC. For what it's worth, it's okay for Animal Crossing DLC. The concept of house making is fun but only if you're really switched off or struggling with anything new to do in the base game.
You do get access to making special facilities like in the spin off, but these sometimes don't offer anything when completed, but some like the final facility allows you to buy clothes exclusive there or items in the HQ with its exclusive currency, Poki.
However, when you make the 30th house for the villagers, you technically 'beat' the DLC by getting a party with DJ K.K., but there's still 400 more houses to make for money. And throughout the DLC, you get more content in the base game related to the housemaking, such as cleaning furniture, being able to customise your residents homes, and even having access to the entire catalogue from Wardell; helping tremendously with getting your catalogue complete.
Overall, the DLC is worth it if you seek more things to do with New Horizons, or if you have a knack for getting homes built. But otherwise, I'd skip this really.

really nice expansion. normally i don't get into things like this but i really loved making these houses for the vilagers and the sheer amount of villagers in the game means there are lots of different house you will be making. just also really cool to see all the updated customization mechanics from this make it into the main game as well really makes it feel more complete
I'm kind of lumping in the DLC with the update, especially since I'm not 100% sure which parts are which. At least not totally.
A rundown of everything between the two and a quick summary of my feelings:
more items returning and new - should've been quicker to add these, but better late than never
cooking - largely pointless, but additional stuff to craft and farm is mildly appealing.
newer and returning villagers - some of the best looking villagers to date
some additional QOL improvements beyond what was already in the first - same as the more items situation
Harv's island, giving more permanent fixtures in case you miss the daily visiting vendor(though not all) - wish it was everybody and refreshed stock more than the once a week or whatever it does currently. nice that you get more haircuts too. wish you could see from your inventory what things are only customizable by cyrus instead of bringing objects to him only
A second nook miles island- afaik only way to get gyroids. 1-2 fragments or full gyroids. also has veggies and such. No villagers afaik, but im not sure what the original has vs. this or if they both can contain both, minus the gyroids.
gyroids returning is sick
custom design portal anywhere is very useful, especially in the DLC
brewster. Kinda fun. I don't know if it has a long tail, as I never did much of brewster back in NL. I know you could get orders for villagers, but I don't think that necessarily happens here? He did start asking me if I wanted the ethically questionable pigeon milk addition to my daily coffee, so since it has some modifiers that may start happening but I'm unsure of it as of now. If it doesn't, it's pretty weak to have amiibo be the only way to see villagers in there, and on top of that no newer interactions beyond the basic from having them arrive.
Designing homes- I like it because it gives you some structure and allows you to have a blank canvas that matters a little less, so you can make whatever without altering your own stuff that you're satisfied with. Excellent that they allowed you to bring that stuff back to your island and do it to your islanders. The narrative isn't anything amazing, but that's obvious if you've played AC at all. It's got some cute stuff and moments, but obviously it'll roll out new features. It could have been just a wee bit shorter since it requires 30 homes modeled and then after you have all your features, you can keep doing home modeling still. So doing 30 is not necessary. Some also were fairly similar to one another. Designed a total of 3 cafes and 2 sort of different robot themed buildings. Which out of 30 different types of decor concepts, that's not bad, and has a lot to do with who you pick. When using amiibo for this, it helps you with a variety of things you wanna do, but it's kind of annoying making one using a spoofer to then not know. Probably even more so hunting down the amiibo card.
It also shows that it needs a search function for the catalog. It's very difficult to find an item if you don't know its exact name. For example, I was looking for a "busted" seat but that doesn't exist. I meant "ruined" and had no way of knowing. I was going to search it on the internet, but did stumble upon it. There's really no reason to not have a search option
So was it still slightly lacking? sure. just like the original NH. It definitely has a ton of extra stuff to do layered onto the base game, so I won't complain. I had a lot of fun with the stuff and plan to continue to here and there.

singlehandedly added 100 hours to my acnh playtime. GOD i wish they hadn't dropped the game after because this was FANTASTIC
Loved building and decorating in the base game, and this was an amazing additon. Taking away the flaws of the NH, and allowing me too engage with the best of the new additions.
Un buen DLC que añade la posibilidad de viajar a una isla a trabajar diseñando casas para los animales. Aunque la jugabilidad quizá no es para todo el mundo, yo me lo he pasado sorprendentemente bien diseñando tanto los hogares como las instalaciones que poco a poco van enriqueciendo nuestra isla. Con unos personajes bastante memorables, un argumento divertido y una gran cantidad de posibilidades a la hora de decorar las casas, creo que este DLC es bastante completo y está muy bien integrado con el juego base; y lo recomiendo a todos los que se hayan quedado con ganas de más Animal Crossing. Aun así creo que es un poco caro (25€) para el contenido que ofrece. 8/10

This is what will keep me play ACNH. I don’t have to pay taxes or gather materials, just give me a prompt and let me build at my leisure.
PERFEITO
god i fucking love designing homes
makes new horizons slightly less regrettable of a purchase

This was really fun, but I wish it was lot faster to unlock features to improve your home designing.
I may or may not have started crying at the end there
