The Animal Crossing: New Horizons community is one that loves to share and spread the joy of creation. In this spirit, players often design custom clothing, artwork, and others, which they might like to share with the community. This can easily be done through the use of custom design codes in New Horizons.

These design codes differ from the QR codes that players of previous iterations of the Animal Crossing series are used to. Here's a guide on how players can use custom design codes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Players can find custom design codes for New Horizons online, as most creators share the design codes on their social media or other platforms. Once players get their hands on the custom code of their choice, there are a few more criteria they need to fulfill to be able to implement them in their game.

First, players need to have a Nintendo Switch online subscription, along with a stable internet connection, even if it is for a short while. Second, they need to have the Able Sisters' Shop unlocked on their New Horizons island to access the custom design codes.

At the Able Sisters' Shop, they must follow the steps below to use custom design codes on their New Horizons islands.

After this, players will be able to access the custom design code on their New Horizons island. Adding custom design slots to one's island is rather simple, and can give them access to a wide variety of attractive features and items in Nintendo's life-simulation title.
