You can also customize umbrellas, small flags, and more!
The March 2021 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons features lots of quality-of-life improvements for players, including the ability to unlock more custom design slots!
With this update, players can save even more player-created designs and use them to decorate their island, furniture, and/or clothing. They can also customize umbrellas, small flags, face-cutout standees, and uchiwa fans.
After you update Animal Crossing: New Horizons to the game’s latest version, you won’t have access to these new features and extra design slots automatically. Instead, you’ll need to spend a few Nook Miles to unlock them. Here’s how!
Head into the Resident Services building and interact with the Nook Stop terminal.
Choose “Redeem Nook Miles.”
Move your cursor to the Custom Design Pro Editor+ option and press “A” to select it. It costs 2,000 Nook Miles to purchase.
Select “Redeem” to confirm your purchase.
Once you’ve purchased this item, your NookPhone application will automatically be updated, and you’ll have access to 50 more Custom Design slots and 50 more Pro Design slots. You’ll also be able to customize the look of umbrellas, small flags, uchiwa fans, and face-cutout standees.
And that’s all there is to it! Have fun!
