On this page: 50 Things In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update You Might Have Missed
There Are New Rewards On The App
If you download the Nintendo Switch Online app on your phone, you can connect it to Animal Crossing: New Horizons for daily rewards. A few new ones were just added, including a cute balloon, a raccoon clock, and Nook-branded... toilet paper? Ok then!
Custom Polish Effects
We weren't convinced by the new polishing feature, until we unlocked the ability to add custom polish effects. Now, we're polishing EVERYTHING. Note that this is only available to Happy Home Paradise owners!
Track Your Turnips On The App
With the Nintendo Switch Online phone app, you can also track your turnip prices — it won't tell you the prices right now, but it'll show you if they're trending up or down, at least! The Turnip Tracker is at the bottom of the newspaper, which is also a new (and very informative) feature.
Customise Seasonal Furniture Without Materials With ReTail
Never have enough pumpkins to customise your spooky furniture? Well, now you can just pay Cyrus some bells at his ReTail shop on Harv's Island and cut out the middleman middlegourd.
Multi-select Items To Put In Storage
Praise the god of tidying up, because now you can multi-select items when you're using the Storage Shed, for easy and fast clean-up.
Brewster Gives You Rewards
Visit Brewster at The Roost every day for a cup o' joe, and eventually he'll start giving you gifts (and being nicer to you in general). Check out our guide for the full list!
You Get More Gyroids After It Rains
It is a truth universally acknowledged that all Animal Crossing players in possession of a good shovel must be in want of a gyroid. Sadly, you can only get one a day on Kapp'n's boat tours. OR CAN YOU? If your island has a rainy day, check the buried treasure the next day and you just might find more gyroids! We had this happen, and got two more than usual. Nice!
Katrina's Predictions Actually Have Effects
Katrina is one of the unlockable shops on Harv's Island, and she's able to predict your luck for the day for the price of 1,000 Bells. But the luck actually does something! For example, we got good "health" luck, which increased how much strength we got from eating fruit. There's also an effect that raises your luck with money, making you dig up more from glowing spots and earn more from money rocks.
Bad Luck Has Rewards
Katrina can also predict that you have bad luck. In the past, this meant tripping over all day, and it was annoying, but now you can pay her to erase the bad luck if you don't want it. However, that said, you may actually want to have bad luck — Katrina will send you pity presents the next day, including her very own crystal ball, or "Power Stone".
If A Shopkeeper Is Visiting Your Island, Their Co-Op Shop Is Closed For The Day
Isn't that just adorable?
Search For Dream Islands By Name
We're pretty sure this one is new — you can now search for a dream island by typing in a name. No more having to type out the dream codes! If your friend's island has an unusual name, they'll appear high up on the list. You could also search for islands with the same name as yours, or just type in a fun-sounding name like "Hyrule" or "Heaven" and see where it takes you.
Villagers Can Float On The Ocean
In Happy Home Paradise, villagers that you've built houses for will hang out on the beach at the rear of the island. Sometimes they'll be exercising, or doing a group hula dance, but sometimes you can spot them gently floating on the ocean, too. Aww!
Doing Daily Stretches Will Win You Prizes (Eventually)
We haven't seen this happen yet, but if Isabelle says it, it must be true.
Daily Stretching Has Accessibility Options
You don't have to participate in the stretching if you have mobility issues — you can press buttons instead! That way, you don't have to miss out on the prizes!
Use Your Friends' ABDs
Visiting your friends' islands, but don't have enough pocket money to buy everything in their shop? If they have an ABD (that's an Automatic Bell Dispenser... or an ATM, if you'd rather) outside, you can use it to access your own money (not theirs, because that would be stealing).
Happy Home Paradise Also Has Message-In-Bottle Recipes
Make sure to check your HHP beaches, because you'll find messages in bottles with recipes, just like on your home island, mystery islands, and Kapp'n's islands. In total, you can get at least four recipes a day if you visit them all!
Moss And Vines Can Be Used In Recipes
Pick up the glowing moss and vines on islands that you visit, because they're needed for moss and vine recipes, like this lovely... moss... dress...???
The Moss Recipes Have Glowy Effects
You'll want to turn off the lights if you use the glowing moss recipes, because all of them appear to have a lovely glowing effect. The wallpaper, the floor, and even the rug will all give off light — although the rug has to be walked on to give off the twinkly sparkles.
Redd Now Sells Ice-Cream
Redd's shop on Harv's Island now has a raffle, like during Fireworks season, and for 500 Bells a pop you can pull a ticket. There are 30 prizes to win, including fans, drinks, and ice cream. Be careful — consuming the food and drink will make it disappear!
Happy Home Paradise Islanders Give You Gifts
Make sure to talk to your Happy Home Paradise residents after their houses are complete, because they'll give you a gift as a thank you. The gift seems to be tied to the items you used to decorate their house, which means you can unlock rare items faster this way!
Moving Buildings Costs Less
Tom Nook has had a change of heart, and now charges only 10,000 Bells instead of 50,000 Bells to move a villager's house. Thanks, Tom.
Phew.
This article is part of our Animal Crossing: New Horizons walkthrough, which includes a Complete Fish List, Complete Bug List and Complete Sea Creatures List.

Very Helpful, Thanks a lot!
Awesome, thank you.
I want to get the vehicles !
Also katrina can boost your friendship level with a villager once per day after you checked your current level.
Wait.. if you buy your villager's furniture do they just have unfurnished rooms? 😨 I would be scared to try.
I'm getting Katrina today; looking forward to using her to help finally get a friendship photo of Tasha. #TashaBestSquirrel (although I still think she is secretly a skunk and just too embarrassed to admit it)
FYI, as someone in the linked Twitter thread commented, Tom Nook was always the President. It’s nothing new. 😉
Once you obtain Brewster and The Roost, bird droppings will mysteriously begin appearing on statues in the art gallery.
Ive been so tempted to pick this game back up again but as i had only just started can anyone tell me how far you have to get in order to start using the DLC?
The castle set is so cool! I can't wait to get ahold of it!
@Kidfunkadelic83 I believe you just have to have gotten past the point of getting K.K. Slider, but I may be wrong.
@bimboliquido From what I remember in the Direct, it is a skill you have to learn when you work as a home designer in the paid DLC.
@FishyS Each visit you can buy only one item, and there are certain items that the villagers will refuse to sell.
How and where do u get Katrina?
@bimboliquido It's unlocked through Happy Home Paradise! You have to press the L button while decorating, and then press A next to a piece of furniture. Hold down to polish more!
@rockodoodle She's one of the options on Harv's Island — her setup will be in the bottom left of the campsite. Just pay 100,000 Bells to Lloid to bring her to the island!
Thank you so much for this article. I have been playing almost every day since launch and this update is overwhelming! Although I have not figured out all the new stuff, it is fun to explore and try stuff. I learned the Kappn reactions in the boat by accident and was amazed. And, i am glad for this article to reference.
good for Tom ^^
such a nice guy, who would not want a president that let you pay things whenever you want
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I was browsing the catalog earlier this morning, when I noticed we can now buy tools through the catalog.
Oh, another villager with glowing bodyparts?
For those who did not know:
The alligator Del has glowing eyes. Ah, Del, my favourite lighthouse keeper…
Any more villager with glowing parts?
The update is more substantial than I thought. It's still not OMGWOW but it's certainly more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Wonder how long it manages to keep me hooked now.
Haha, oh wow, I didn't expect that Amorphophallus titanum in bloom. I'll start looking for it right away!
It's funny how much I actually enjoy designing the vacation homes. I thought I had no creative bone in my body.
Great list! I’ve also noticed moving buildings (layout changes) now costs 10,000 bells rather than the steep 50,000.
@rockodoodle at Harvey Island, you need 100.000 Bell to unlock Katrina on Harvey Island.
you can also clap when K.K Slider is in your Island, Tom Nook already was the president/CEO of Nook inc., when you have a Rug in storage you can see it size.
Might have missed it elswhere but the added ACNH content on the online app is pretty cool. The newspaper recaps almost every activity lol
I'm not getting a lot of these.
50 is too many things! 😮
Thank you for sharing the Katrina tidbit. I've been trying to figure out for days if she actually does anything or is just scamming me.
@Anti-Matter
Yeah and make them money sinks too.
@bimboliquido
You unlock it in the Happy home dlc and afterwards you can press L to go to polish housekeeper mode even in your own home.
