Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows players to bring their own designs into their island. This guide will help players unlock this ability. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game all about forming every bit of the island experience by hand.  The player early on is given tools to help them chop down trees, dig holes, and fish in the nearby natural habitats. Players are ranked by Isabelle the moment she arrives on the island, 5 stars being the best the island can possibly be. To improve this, players will need to follow her very vague directions. Customization patterns are helpful for players who want a specific design that cannot be found from within the game. This guide will help players unlock this feature.

Customization patterns allow players to create whatever they like and place them anywhere on the island. In the player's Nook Phone, they can make their own design using the pencil tool. Whether it's needing a very specific hue to match the nearby wooden bench or an arrow to indicate where visitors should go while visiting the island, customization patterns add a new layer for customization in the game. Players have gotten extremely into creating their own designs and even share them online for other players to enjoy. This guide describes what is required to unlock it.

To unlock the customization patterns, the player will need to visit Able's Taylor Shop every day. Once inside, go speak with Sable in the back corner. Players can find her sowing away. She may come off as a bit distant in the beginning, providing minimal conversation as she focusing on her work, but eventually, she will begin to open up. Keep coming back every day and eventually, she will give the player customization patterns. For players who do not wish to wait each day to return, they can change the date and time in their Nintendo Switch settings to push time forward. This removes the waiting process for the next in-game day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

This game thrives on the number of customization options that are available to the player. From changing the interior and exterior of their home to placing benches on the beach or the mountains, no island will look exactly the same between players. Customization patterns add even more customization options to this already vast game. The game continues to receive new content every month with special limited-time seasonal events. Players are rewarded for checking back every day, even if its for a few minutes.
