Tom Nook Is Now A President
Uhhh. Should we be worried about this one? We definitely didn't vote for him. It's not just a one-off, either — other people have noticed this, too! He is technically the CEO and President of his own company, but it's still odd for other people to call him that. Is it time for a coup?
Full-Sized Vehicles
OH HECK YEAH. It's time to build mansions with fancy cars, truck depots, and construction sites with real forklifts.
Blathers’ Posters
Blathers now has special museum posters available to brighten your walls.
Put DIYs In Storage
Finally, get rid of (but still keep) all those pesky DIY recipes that you already know by putting them into your storage, along with all the other stuff you don't want, but can't bring yourself to sell!
Buy Villagers' Furniture From Their Houses
Apparently, visiting the houses of other villagers will give you the option to buy their stuff? The potential for this is incredible. Can we buy their beds?
Show Off Your Food
Cooking is all about providing nutrition to your body, right? WRONG. It's about showing off and getting praise, and Animal Crossing lets you do that now.
Dusters
We knew you could polish items (although we're still not fully sure what it's supposed to do) but you can also dust things. It doesn't do anything, except look extremely cute — and now you can join in when your villagers do spring cleaning around the plaza!
Glowing Moss
Hard to miss, maybe, but glowing moss is now in the game, and it comes in a bunch of different sizes. What is this, Minecraft?
New Trees
New trees! Including the thicc baobab, the twisty vine, topiaries and cacti!
Donation Box
There's a new Nook Miles reward: The Donation Box! Although you can only pop in 1,000 Bells at a time, this seems like a great way to get visitors to offer Bells as a thank you for letting them tour your island. Plus, it's customisable, and you can put your own designs on the front. Cute!
The Ultimate Gaming PC
There's a new PC, and it has FOUR MONITORS. Four!! And one of them is Discord!
Castles
Some of the new items will let you build a castle. An actual, big castle. No more painting screens to look like walls!
Bear Backpack
Bear backpack!! So far, we've only found this as an option in the Happy Home Paradise DLC, but we'd venture a guess that it'll be available in the base game, too. Check the Able Sisters!
Blobfish Gyroid
There are many gyroids, but this one is a BLOBFISH. We love it. Not sure what noise it makes, but we imagine it's one of despair
New Birds
The old yellow and green birds are boring. We're all about Happy Home Paradise's blue birds, now. So cute!
Also, check out the sweet little owls that appear at night on the Happy Home Paradise island:

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.
