\nFixed an issue where villagers who had promised to visit the player\u2019s home could sometimes appear in unnatural locations inside the house.
\nOther adjustments and corrections were made to improve the game play experience.<\/p>\n

The following issues related to the paid DLC \u201cAnimal Crossing: New Horizons \u2013 Happy Home Paradise\u201d have been fixed.<\/p>\n

Fixed an issue where animals requesting vacation homes would stop appearing on the beach even when some animals still do not have vacation homes.<\/p>\n

Alongside this update, Nintendo has also shared some anniversary artwork, which you can see at the top of this post.<\/p>\n

Apart from this update for New Horizons, Nintendo has also added the Animal Crossing GameCube soundtrack to its Nintendo Music app today. Earlier this year, Nintendo released a major update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons and a Switch 2 Edition of the game.<\/p>\n
