If the Custom Designs app in Animal Crossing: New Horizons seems intimidating to you, you're not alone. While the feature allows talented artists to craft some mind-blowing creations, the rest of us are left running around in shabby outfits and waving flags with lots of stars and hearts. Thankfully, New Horizons lets players share their masterpieces with each other. Naturally, gamers took this to heart and have recreated a wide range of Resident Evil inspired gear for their villagers.
How To Use Custom Designs
If you want to download these sweet designs, you'll first have to unlock the Able Sisters' shop — and that can take a bit of time. You'll first have to unlock Nook's Cranny and pay it a visit. There, you'll meet Mabel who will occasionally visit your town and set up a temporary shop outside Resident Services. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what triggers it, but so long as you make regular purchases and spend a lot of Bells, they'll ask you to set up a permanent shop for them.
Once that's done, simply enter their store and head over to the kiosk in the back-right. From there you'll have the option to enter in custom codes for designs made by other players. However, you'll need to have a Nintendo Online subscription for it to properly work —otherwise you can't even access the kiosk.
