What are ordinances in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

sportskeeda.com:

Nintendo breathed new life into Animal Crossing: New Horizons with the 2.0 update, as it introduced lots of new features and items, along with items from previous titles in the franchise.

One such feature that returned to New Horizons was island ordinances. This has made the game a lot more inclusive for players, allowing for more varied playstyles.

Here is everything players need to know about island ordinances in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Island ordinances are essentially a set of rules that players can implement on their Animal Crossing islands, which will affect the way in which the island functions. This includes the time that the island starts and stops functioning, including shops and villagers.

This is a rather convenient feature added by Nintendo since different players can play the game at their convenience based on their real-life schedules.

Nintendo offers four different kinds of ordinances to New Horizons players for their islands. To access them, players must first unlock the island ordinances feature by speaking with Isabelle, which requires them to make a certain amount of progress in the game.

To unlock ordinances in New Horizons, players must have progressed enough in the game to have upgraded the Resident Services building and brought Isabelle to their island. Next, they must upgrade their island to a 3-star rating and have K.K. Slider visit and perform on their island at least once.

After this initial performance, players can visit Isabelle, who will inform them that island ordinances are available for players to implement if they want. Unlocking these island ordinances will cost players a hefty charge of 20,000 Bells, but it is worth the amount of convenience that players get from this feature.
