While designing houses is initially (and still can be) a lot of fun, 30 houses is far too high of a requirement to beat the game, and the monotony for me kicked in at only around a third of the way through the DLC. No matter how much they try to break it up, it just ends up being a really repetitive rinse and repeat to get the 30 houses + facilities done to see the ending.

The designing itself is still really fun when isolated in a vacuum by doing it in small doses, and I really love the supporting cast and unique dialogue opportunities this brings to villagers, but you just really can't skirt around how repetitive the designing gets in the end. Something good that's unfortunately brought down by repeating it so much to the point where by the end, the initial fun has long vanished.
