Truly customize your home, island, or character with fan-made designs.
One of the best things about Animal Crossing: New Horizons is being able to decorate your house with custom furniture or to clothe your character with fan-made outfits. Since New Leaf, Happy Home Designer and New Horizons each allow you to create and share your own designs, fans have been able to use some awesome clothing patterns, artwork, and furniture for their islands. We've even seen some awesome Zelda outfits, for example.
We've rounded up the best QR codes for streets and paths as well as the QR codes for clothing, memes, and fan art to get you started. You can import other people's designs using either a QR code, a Creator ID, or a Design ID. Thing is, the process for getting other's designs into your New Horizons game is kinda tricky. But don't worry. We're here to show you how it's done.
Note: You cannot edit other people's designs.

How to make your own QR codes
There are a few different ways to create QR codes for your designs. If you happen to own Animal Crossing: New Leaf or Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer on the Nintendo 3DS, you can create and share QR codes from those games. However, if you don't have those games then you're going to need to use acpatterns.com. This website allows you to scan in pre-existing images and convert them into a format that can be used within Animal Crossing. Just be aware that these converted images will be very pixelated and won't look nearly as good as the originals.
- Go to acpatterns.com.
-
Select Editor.
- If you want to draw something from scratch, use the drawing tools provided. If you want to convert an existing image like a meme, select Convert.
-
Upload the image that you want to use.
- Adjust the settings until the image looks the way you want it to.
-
Select Convert!
- You might want to touch the picture up using the drawing tools. If you like the way it looks, select Generate QR Code.
-
Scan the QR code using the NookLink section of the Nintendo Switch Online app. For instructions on how to do that go here.
What are Creator IDs and Design IDs?
Every player in Animal Crossing: New Horizons has their own Creator ID. This is basically a string of numbers that allows players to search for designs created by specific players. Similarly, every design you make within the game gets its own Design ID. That way, you can give your IDs out to friends or people online making it easier for them to download and use your images, patterns, or clothing in their own New Horizons games.
The thing is, you can only use Creator IDs and Design IDs if you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, have unlocked the Able Sisters clothing store, and have a good internet connection. In case you haven't done it yet, here's a guide for how to bring the Able Sisters tailor shop to your island.
