While Animal Crossing: New Horizons is great for experiencing bucolic island life at a relaxed pace, it’s easy to forget that the franchise is known for how much it leans into custom designs.

Any links to external websites where you take inrl currency for in game animal crossing content will be taken down and you will be banned. Any selling of designs, items, etc. For inrl currency is a bannable offense. Dress QR code for dresses, Shirt QR code for shirts, Single Tile QR code for flags, paths, etc. Hi Animal Crossing peeps! I am taking a terraforming break due to finals in school, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy my town tour series for the next few.

New Horizons features the series’ most robust design options yet, and there are a variety of ways you can share your glamorous looks with pals.

How to make custom patterns in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Within Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can use your Nook Phone’s Custom design editor to craft some brand new looks. After upgrading your abode from a tent to a house, you’ll be able to purchase the Custom Design Pro Editor from the Nook Stop terminal under 'Redeem Nook Miles' for a paltry 800 miles. The upgrade will grant access to a slew of additional tools.

If you’d like a more traditional designer, you can also use browser-based editors like this one. You can utilize their robust toolset to make something new entirely. If the creative spirit has yet to enthrall you, images can be uploaded to the website, which will then be converted into QR codes. Those codes can be used to download the design into New Horizons in the following way.

How to use QR Codes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

If you want to reuse designs created in previous titles like Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Happy Home Designer,or download ones created in browser designers, you’ll need to scan a QR code. This requires some help from the Nintendo Switch Online app, which is available for iOS and Android.

After downloading the app, you’ll need to do some light setup. Link the Nintendo Account used on your Switch with the app by logging in. Head back to you Switch and boot up New Horizons. Once you get to the title screen, press the '—' button to enter Settings. You’ll be greeted by Tom Nook. After he gives a small speech, click 'NookLink Settings.' Your Switch should now be connected to the Nintendo Switch Online app.

Back on the app, you can now scan designs into your game via QR codes by opening the app, clicking Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You should now see a new area called NookLink, complete with a QR scanner on the top right.

Anime Animal Crossing Qr Codes

Once you scan a code, go back into New Horizons and open the in-game design app. Click the '+' button on your Switch to download the design. Only one design can be scanned and downloaded at a time, so make sure to download it before moving onto the next one.

Designs uploaded via QR code cannot be edited and can only be applied to items available in the basic Design Editor app. QR code designs are incompatible with the additional features added in the Nook Stop 'Pro' upgrade.

Despite the app’s title, this method doesn’t require you to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership. However, using New Horizons’ native clothing sharing service is a totally different story.

How to share custom designs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

If newfangled apps elude you, New Horizons also has a method to share clothing in-game. However, this one does require that you have a Nintendo Switch Online Membership.

Upon visiting the town’s shop, Nook’s Cranny for the first time, a villager named Mabel will appear momentarily. She’ll come scout out your town a few more times following that. Eventually, after getting a lay of the land, she’ll ask to open up a shop on your island.

Once her fashion shop, Able Sisters, opens, there will be a Custom Design Kiosk located in her store’s rear section. You’ll be able to upload and download designs using codes, similar to those used to enjoy multiplayer.

After a code is uploaded, you distribute it online or amongst friends. They can enter your code at the Kiosk in their game to obtain your design.

What can custom designs do in New Horizons?

Using a custom design, you can make your own clothing and furniture. Custom designs can be used to decorate your room in unconventional ways as seen below.

Online, others have used these designs to implement cosplays of fictional characters into New Horizons. Others have used custom designs to add features they believed were missing from the game like eyebrows and freckles. Adding a custom design is just another way to make the world of New Horizons into your world.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is now available for Nintendo Switch.

Amid coronavirus pandemic, the fashion industry, it feels like, has hit a standstill: runway shows have been canceled, the Met Gala has been 'indefinitely postponed,' and stores have closed. Plus, with city lockdowns in place, any spring clothing to be shown off in public has been traded in for sweatsuits, while video games have replaced social outings. But thanks to Nintendo's new, quarantine-friendly game, Animal Crossing, users are turning into fashion designers and getting to showcase their best spring style, thanks to its ability to create custom outfits for their characters.

Newly created Instagram accounts like Animal Crossing Fashion Archive and Nook Street Market are serving as a resource for endless outfit inspiration, taking designs from both major and indie labels like Louis Vuitton and Sandy Liang to create pixel-based looks for the game, all while offering the QR codes so everyone can get in on the action. For those more interested in streetwear, ANIMALCROSSFITS has you covered, offering ensembles by brands like Supreme and Off-White.

Fashion brands are starting to pick up on the Animal Crossing craze, too. Take, for example, Dolls Kills, which released its own QR codes to the public, so you can finally bring some of the San Francisco-based retailer's best IRL looks to your own little virtual island.
