Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise

About

Released in 2021 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, Happy Home Paradise is a paid downloadable content expansion for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, developed by Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 5. The expansion shifts focus from the base game's island life to a professional interior and exterior design role within a vacation resort setting. Players join the Paradise Planning team, working across an archipelago of islands where clients arrive with specific requests for their dream holiday homes. Each client presents distinct preferences, and the player's task is to gather those details through conversation and then fulfill them through thoughtful home design. The expansion adds a structured, client-driven creative experience to the life simulation foundations of New Horizons, centering gameplay on satisfying individual requests rather than managing a personal island.
