Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC, which had been announced by Nintendo a couple of months ago was recently released.
Sadly it hasn’t exactly been a completely smooth experience for some players.
Nintendo’s official Australia and New Zealand Twitter account mentioned that Animal Crossing New Horizons players who own the Happy Home Paradise DLC may experience gameplay bugs if they visit Resident Services and ask to remodel a resident’s home while the gates at their airport are open.
We recommend players to not attempt to remodel an island resident’s home while the gates at their airport are open. As long as the airport gates are closed, you should not encounter these gameplay bugs when remodeling residents’ homes on your island.
