Animal Crossing: With New Horizons’ Next Update, You Can Design a Custom Umbrella

Animal crossing: new horizons‘ already robust design tools get improvements with a free update taking place on March 18th. One new addition is a major upgrade to the NookPhone design app that lets you customize umbrellas, small flags, uchiwa fans, and photo sets.

With the app you can make all designs for shirts, dresses and hats, so with the upgrade you can customize an even more custom look (and create a fun photo booth while you are busy). The upgraded app will also add 50 design slots to the normal and Pro design modes, allowing you to create and save even more designs than ever before.

You can purchase the Nook Miles app upgrade at the terminal in the Resident Services building. And while you’re at it, you can spend Nook Miles adding the Custom Design portal from the Able Sisters store, which lets you connect to the Internet to share and search for custom designs right on your NookPhone.

In addition, the update adds a cake to celebrate the game’s first birthday (yes, it’s been almost a year) and Sanrio-themed items that you can get on March 26 using amiibo cards that come with Target is available. There are also new seasonal items you can buy at Nook Shopping, including prom-themed items to help you host a virtual dance party and … pillows for cookies. (Of course in honor of April Fool’s Day.)
