Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer has been out for a few weeks now and had a day one update to add in online room viewing and sharing, which had been a post-launch addition in Japan.
Unlike with some titles this game isn't overly insistent on you installing the update, and some may have missed it entirely. Yet it's the only way to enjoy the online sharing and events, which can add quite a lot to the overall experience.
With that in mind our colleagues at Family Gamer TV have shared a video with a simple guide on getting the update and the resultant Happy Home Network that it unlocks. It's certainly worth checking out if this has passed you by so far.
This channel has done quite a few videos on Happy Home Designer, so you can check out the playlist if you want to see more.
Have you been happily designing in this Animal Crossing spin-off? Carefully and stylishly place a comment below if you have.

I haven't got this one (yet), but I do hope it's a sign of what's to come in the next main series AC entry (in terms of levels of customisation).
i really want this game, but i'm still spending a lot of time in acnl and i would rather wait until i have a new xl (as opposed to using the nfc reader). i'm seeing a lot of good stuff from it on ac blogs.
Hay idk how to report this to some one but think its worth noting

I got the MewTwo Amiibo today and the trick to keep Amiibo in the box wont work now (or atlest on ones past MewTwo?) as there is no sticker insted the amiibo are sat on a small bit of metalic card under there bace. Not a big deal to me as i only keep the box backs (for the "Art") but ik thisl be a big deal to some ppl out there.
Why tips? The only way to actually do anything wrong in this game is by doing it on purpose, or being incapable of reading (which eiminates you as a target group, anyway).
Seeing some of the accomplished designs online really opens up the game in terms of creative possibilities with the existing toolset. It's a very good addition. Still feels like challenge or purpose are somewhat lacking overall though, whilst creativity isn't pushed to the absolute edge because there is no option to design items from scratch. Fun enough, but nothing epic.
Can't find the Animal Crossing amiibo cards anywhere....
I never played Animal Crosssing because I don't like the idea of having to play every day, but I am having a blast with Happy Home Designer.
The only thing I have gotten through online play is one point on unique (you can pick 1-3 in different categories, cute, cool, unique and "I want to live there") so when someone just gives one point and only to unique I doubt it's a compliment :<
But I got to see some nice creations at least..
@Tindre
Haha yeah, unique seems like a back-handed compliment. "Well, I've certainly never seen that before..." Over at gamefaqs.com there's a thread for sharing your work, you could post some stuff there.
My game prompted me when I first started so I've had the HNN from the get-go. Using it has helped me get ideas and it's really fun to see what others create. It also allows you to get custom designs from houses if the owner is willing to share, just talk to Lottie while you're visiting.
my tips is: accept a commission from an animal, choose the spot, choose the layout and then check the items this animal unlocks for you if they're too few or stuff you don't want cancel the commission return to the HHD building and pick another animal till you get the best deal of the day.
