Players can gather and sell fruit and crops, donate to the museum, and upgrade stores and their house with the goal of making it an island paradise that draws possible land buyers to Tom Nook’s landlord business. Along with the level-ups, players can also access customization tools tomake their island more personal to their tastes. This can mean changing a path to fit the tropical aesthetic design or creating an outfit to match a character within or outside the game. They can be shared with other players through design codes and added to with wearables already established in the game.

Reddit user Jones2173 has certainly found a somewhat disturbing but equally creative way to have their very own K.K. Slider costume in the game just in time for Halloween. The player used the available white body paint in the game, which isunlocked during the Halloween event, and combined it with a pure white dress. Then, the player equipped the in-game accessory called “dog nose” which looks exactly like K.K. Slider’s nose along with some white stockings. The final touches to create K.K. Slider’s famous eyebrows were added through the use of custom design and the in-game guitar case. All designs and items were combined to create a convincing yet horrifying K.K. Slider costume.
