They say good fences make good neighbors, so one Reddit user imagined a world where you can build fence gates in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
There’s a lot of stuff in New Horizons, from boutique furniture to giant robot statues, but there’s an odd thing missing from Animal Crossing’s vast DIY library: fence gates. Sure, there are fences, but there are no convenient gates that would allow easy access through a fence.
This is a bit of a bizarre oversight considering just how many fence and wall options there are in the game. Reddit user wallflower_ (who also goes by @okpng on Twitter) noted this issue as well and decided to do what she could to correct it with a few simple Photoshopped images.
User wallflower_ goes into greater detail on how fences would work on her Twitter post, explaining that gates can only be opened by island residents and cannot be opened or closed by strangers, friends, or interlopers. This would make having visitors much more appealing as it would limit their access to the rest of the island and completely eliminate the requirement for bouncers if you’re playing the Stalk Market.
We’ve already seen that Nintendo can add items to New Horizons via online updates and events, so it wouldn’t be too hard for them to create a fence for Animal Crossing. Let’s all petition Nintendo to make it happen!
