New body paints and contacts were released for Halloween!
The Fall Update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is officially here! On October 1, you’ll be able to plant pumpkins, purchase Halloween costumes and Spooky furniture, and even customize your character’s appearance with new body paints and eye contacts.
To customize your character’s appearance, you’ll need to interact with a vanity or mirror. Here’s how this works!
Interact with a mirror or vanity and choose “Change it up!”
The first menu you’ll see is “Skin Tone.” Highlight the skin tone you want to use and press “A” to preview it.
When you’re satisfied with your body paint selection, press “R” two times to move to the Eyes menu. From there, you can move the cursor left and right to view all of the available eye options, and press “A” to preview one on your character.
If you want to change your eye color, highlight one of the available colors and press “A” to preview it.
When you’re satisfied with your character’s appearance, select “Confirm” (or press the “+” button).
And that’s all there is to it! Repeat these steps any time you want to change your character’s look again in the future.
