Animal Crossing: New Horizonshas seen a resurgence of popularity due to the recent release of its Happy Home Paradise DLC. However, alongside the release of Happy Home Paradise came a wave of new in-game bugs to be addressed – and not the kind one catches with a net. Nintendo has been hard at work addressing theseAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsbugs and is has now issued a patch. Switch users will receive the update automatically if they’re connected to the internet.
Perhaps the largest fix ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizon’s December 15 2.0.4 update is for thenotorious naked Villager bug. This bug would make certainAnimal Crossingvillagers appear to have converted to a nudist lifestyle. They would be completely nude. Nintendo has discovered that the bug was due to an issue with Custom Designs for Villager clothing not loading correctly. Nudism is a feature that will have to wait for anotherAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsDLC.

Another fix that Nintendo has addressed has to do withHappy Home Paradise’s Showroom. Sometimes, if a player visited another player’s Showroom and then tried to upload their own, their Villagers would be replaced by those from the other player’s facilities. That may be a confusing description, but trust that it’s no less confusing than a number of strange Villagers suddenly appearing in the Showroom with no explanation. The issue has now been resolved.
Other specific issues that have been addressed include one problem where using a “Ladder Set-up Kit” on a diagonal cliff on the third tier of cliff elevation could disappear. Another had to do withseasonal DIY recipesincluding the “Maple Leaf Rug” and “Frozen Floor Tiles” being listed in the incorrect seasonal menus. Both of these small but notable issues have been resolved.
While that’s the full extent ofNintendo’sAnimal Crossingpatch notes, there is another notable bullet point made for both the base version ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonand the Happy Home Paradise DLC. That bullet point is, “Other fixes have also been made for a more enjoyable experience.” Hopefully, that should mean less noticeable aspects of the game like loading times and overall performance have been improved, if only subtly.
The December 15 patch forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis significantly smaller than the last several patches followingHappy Home Paradise’s release. That likely implies that Nintendo is content with the state of the game and forthcoming updates will be rarer. That’s not a bad thing, of course, as it likely impliesAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis in a great state for players to continue enjoying.
