Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise takes all that was innovative, fun, and satisfying from the original Happy Home Designer, fixes what made the game complete, and expands on the original game altogether creating a DLC expansion that, despite a few set backs, is well worth it for any owner of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Happy Home Paradise makes Animal Crossing: New Horizons feel like a 'definitive' edition, especially when considered alongside the substantial free additions of version 2.0. It's beautifully polished — and that's not a reference to the ability you earn here — and provides even more variety and depth to your daily AC island life. You may discover new villagers to call friends, and perhaps even learn a little about how to better decorate rooms and homes. Most importantly, it simply makes us smile — that alone is the best recommendation we can give.

This is just... Great. It is amazing. I, like many other people, hadn't picked up animal crossing for a while, and then the 2.0 update came out, which by itself is...good I guess? But.. Happy Home Paradise is just a beautiful, perfectly balanced DLC, from the quiet Wardell, to the adorable Niko, and then to the overworked Lottie, the characters are all just amazing. Look.. The price is quite steep, 25 dollars for DLC. But the DLC is a game in itself, and when you consider that, it's relatively reasonable. And while what tour paying for IS a game in itself, there still are many features that can hook into your main island, like the ability to invite your villagers to the archipelago, the ability to use your skills on your island, and even a Poki ABD to convert your Poki to Bells. There is so much here, and so much progression, which is something the base game lacks.
Overall, there is so much to love about this DLC, so if your on the edge about it, I'd recommend just going and buying it. 10 out of 10, I love it!

If you really liked Happy Home Designer, you'll be very happy with how Happy Home Paradise improves on its formula, especially after you've worked your way up the ranks. If you're not interested in interior decorating, the only things you'll be missing out on of any note would be the ability to craft room dividers and redecorating your neighbors' homes.

There is nothing I like more in Animal Crossing than fidgeting around my house and changing the layout on a whim. That’s all you’re going to do in Happy Home Paradise, and for me, that’s more than enough to keep me logging in every single day.
Animal Crossing New Horizons: Happy Home Paradise allows players to get creative, adding new furniture and design choices at every turn.
Happy Home Paradise is a delightful DLC package that allows you to express your creativity without putting any pressure on you.
Happy Home Paradise gives you the easiest job in the world. Creating holiday homes for various Animal Crossing characters is about as pressure-free as it gets when you're given a clear direction, a curated set of furniture to choose from, and the knowledge that the customer will love whatever it is that you do. There's no risk of a Changing Rooms disaster here. It's another avenue to express yourself in New Horizons, just don't expect much challenge, critique or need to think too far out of the box.
Both the 2.0 update and DLC added tons of new content to get players playing again. Happy Home Paradise is pretty much just an enhanced version of Happy Home Designer on the 3DS, which was already a pretty fun game. If you've played that you get the basic idea of the game. There's been a lot of improvements to the formula this time around. Firstly, building houses is quicker and more satisfying, which makes unlocking new stuff faster. You can invite villagers from your island, and there are a lot more customization options for houses that you can even take with you to your island. The gameplay is generally better overall, and I'd say it's worth the $25 price tag. One thing Happy Home Designer does better is the facilities. In that game you could do them whenever you wanted and they were huge, leaving tons of room for creativity. In this game, you are forced to complete them at certain points, and you can't leave until you finish. That would be okay if it gave you the option instead of just throwing you into it without warning. Also they are way smaller this time. I only did the first two facilities, so maybe it allows more freedom later on, but those first two facilities felt very restrictive. They were still fun overall, and I'm really enjoying the DLC so far. Probably the best part is that it technically allows you to have all 400+ villagers in the game. I wish the update allowed more villagers on the island, but this DLC fixes it in a way. The 2.0 update has fixed nearly every problem with the game, and now I am addicted to New Horizons once again. Please send help. Actually don't, this is the best addiction I could ask for.

Excellent DLC qui ajoute des dizaines d'heures de jeu au titre. Le concept n'est pas nouveau mais terriblement efficace grâce aux nombreux villageois et thème de maison qu'ils demandent. Le fait d'avoir un grand nombre d'objets permet une vrai créativité et de personnalisation, que ce soit intérieur comme extérieur.
Et le fait de débloqué les fonctionnalités progressivement est cool pour par surchargé le joueurs dès le début. Le fait de récupéré ces techniques et objets sur son île est aussi une excellente idée pour donner plus de personnalisation et de différenciation entre les îles des joueurs. Un excellent DLC qui ajoute un jeu dans le jeu pour un prix raisonnable que ce soit seul ou avec le Switch Online.
