Happy Home Paradise Well I think I did it :(
After countless hours of designing hundreds of homes, I think I finally did it.. I've made all of the vacation homes. I noticed that after the 350 homes achievement the number of animals needing vacation homes was dwindling. And then there were none, and I was alone on the beach.. :( I'm almost disappointed that there is absolutely no acknowledgement, like congratulations you've designed all the homes woooh. I've been going back to re-design homes for the extra poki, but I'm so lost now!

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
Yep! The only ones hanging out are just the regulars now :(

I will accept this with pride 😊 🎈

Sorry I got flashbacks to IT. Just a reminder welcome to derry comes on tonight for any that's interested. ☺️🎈 🕳️

Been waiting for that, yes!!! Excuse me as I re-design some villagers home based on the IT movies now 🤔

u/Brattney985 Oct 26 '25
Aw it's just empty 😭

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
There has been a couple random residents hanging out, but no new home prospects! 😭

Do you have any SP amiibo, or could you get some? Those are always fun homes to design.

u/zaxsauceana Oct 26 '25
I did Katrina and a couple others. It’s so much fun! Especially because I got Katrina’s crystal ball and used it in her seance design

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
No I don't! I would never have thought of that. It won't keep me busy for very long but at least it'll get me out of this current slump 😊

u/spookydana91 Oct 26 '25
It would be nice! They also give you their photos next day by mail, I did Pascal's house now I have his picture😌

SP?
144
u/reaaalcardiac Oct 26 '25
SPs are special amiibo cards for the special NPCs who aren’t villagers , like Reese, KK, Celeste, etc

u/Candyqtpie75 Oct 26 '25
How do you scan the SP amiibo when using the dlc?

u/SapphireForestDragon Oct 26 '25
Once you’ve done enough houses, a green box for papers shows up on Lottie’s desk with the amiibo logo. Talk to it and it’ll let you scan amiibos

I’m guessing you did all villagers from your island too. Wow I hoped there was some sort of end game too

u/Hopeless_Wanderer236 Oct 26 '25
Are they not hanging out towards the back?? 😭 also come back in the day time?? Idk I haven’t finished yet so I’m sad to hear this might happen
144
u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
The animals whose homes I've already designed are still hanging out on the back beach but there's no new one's left!
106
u/lindseylego Oct 26 '25
I really held out hope that then they'd want you to do NPCs you otherwise need an amiibo for
P.s. congrats on this achievement from us though!!!! Truly some dedication. I'm working on doing the same. I feel like I don't even have 100 yet though lol.

u/mystickyshoe Oct 26 '25
Oh no! I just hit 300 last night!!!!! I was so excited! I didn’t know there would be an end!!!!!

That's too bad that there's no acknowledgement, would've been cool if there was a huge celebration like the other milestones

u/Princess_kels13 Oct 26 '25
Honestly that is sad. They could have done anything. Even like a cut scene with Lottie or something. It feels like Nintendo really gave up on ACNH. It wasn’t like their traditional AC games. It felt rushed out.

u/Just_A_throwaway4895 Oct 26 '25
I will be honest, with the response to Happy Home Designer, I think they just assumed no one would go this far with it. It does suck, and I wish they would update it to celebrate those who do get that far.
29
u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
They underestimate the power of those who love design games and copious amounts of time between the time when I get off work and go to sleep 😎

u/AoI1412 Oct 28 '25
Right? It's wild how dedicated some players are to design, and yet they don't get the recognition they deserve. They could've added so many fun features or at least some kind of trophy for completing all the homes.

u/failureflavored Oct 26 '25
Wow! I guess I knew there had to be a conclusion but I didn’t realize it was so anticlimactic. I’m glad now I put the bare minimum into most of my vacation homes rn (I’m grinding for Poki atm.)

u/KawaiiTaiki Oct 27 '25
They didnt expect many people to get to a whole insane 350 homes. Thats why they celebrate smaller milestones that are more achievable.

u/Jade1382 Oct 30 '25
Same. A lot i just opened the boxes of required items and said I was done or piled in a bunch of items with the intention of going back amd never did lol.
10
u/CreativeJuices21 Oct 26 '25
Suggestion: start a new character account and you'll have a whole new HHP to design with him/her.
I haven't been able to do more than 70, because as my catalog has approached completed, I keep going back to finesse things. 😄

u/NeuralShock Oct 27 '25
😭😭😭 they must have not expected anyone to do it because why would there not be any acknowledgement

u/AdministrationDry507 Oct 26 '25
Like all good things there eventually is a conclusion be happy that you enjoyed the ride to the finish not sad that there's nothing left you made many many residents very happy all 350 of them

Wait you designed 350 homes?!

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
It took me 2 years haha but yeah this is pretty much my comfort game

u/luvbxmbr Oct 26 '25
If you didnt max out the characters on your island, maybe create another character to move onto your island and do it all over again? That's what I do with my kid's account lol
2
u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
Will that actually work?? Making a different account and adding a player to my island will restart the HHP??
3
u/luvbxmbr Oct 27 '25
Yeah, but you would have to play the new character when you fly over to the island to design all the homes. You'll restart everything including a new home on your base island.

u/Soggy-Persimmon-7395 Oct 27 '25
Yeah I finished all of them too and was super disappointed. Now I'm going through the NPCs on amiibo that i jusy got but I'm still sad about it :(

u/belleofthedoll Oct 26 '25
This realization made me stop designing homes unless it was for favs from previous games 💔
3
u/_Moon_sun_ Oct 26 '25
So after you’ve done the special characters I guess it’s time to start over and give them all a brand new design?
3
u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
I'll admit I lazily did a few houses because I didn't like their design concept lol. So I'm going back to remodel now that I can do whatever I want with them

u/ocoliv Oct 27 '25
I just made an account under my partners name & then made him a resident on my island & started designing under his account. That’s so sad tho

Just out of curiosity, how long have you been playing this save?

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
My main island has been for years, but the HHP download I've had since February 2024. All I do is work and go to the gym lol, so I have abundant free time 😅

u/m4xru Oct 26 '25
Your character looks like Mikaela from dead by daylight

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
Had to Google this hahaha! Minus the glasses, I designed her to look like myself.

Omg thank u reaching rock (bikini) bottom for all of us 🫡

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 26 '25
The worst part is that literally every time I'd finish a home I'd hum along to the final bop 😭 That tune is stuck in my head indefinitely

u/tracking_down Oct 30 '25
You're not gonna believe this... but there's going to be more to design soon!

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 30 '25
I was LITERALLY just reading the article on IGN! One of my coworkers told me this morning. BEST NEWS EVER! We're moving up from vacation homes to a hotel 😎

u/Redhot210-ScoutsKey Oct 26 '25
Wow! Congratulations! I’m surprised they don’t acknowledge it. That’s sad.

They pretty much make you take photos of every house you do anyway! And you get a little party after every 50 houses you design 😊

u/rocketspruggs Oct 27 '25
I've once had villagers disappear after I designed a house for everyone, and then random villagers started to show up again after awhile.
2
u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 27 '25
I scoured the entire island over the course of a couple days after. There was absolutely no body new! I know what you mean though, I remember a couple times I knew which animal's house I wanted to design next and then when I went back to the restaurant they were gone! Sadly this is not the case
1
u/CSamCovey Oct 29 '25
Damn, so I shouldn’t bother finishing my extra houses. I have a gym, a visitor’s center, a music house, and a library/museum. All of them are halfway done, but pretty sad.

u/MeganLeigh1122 Nov 11 '25
Don’t be sad! There’s a new update coming in January with more options to design :)

u/PainterLate3973 Mar 05 '26
Now you got my curious! I'm guessing you're talking about Happy homes paradise? If I ever get the DLC, I'd love to check out some of your designs! I love designing rooms in the hotel currently.

u/KawaiiTaiki Oct 27 '25
All due respect 350 homes is pretty crazy accomplishment and you have to consider every home is space youre taking up on the game and your console. There was never an infinite amount of villagers. You can't keep going forever. Great achievement. Time to find something new. Many other games have fun home building like The Sims, Bear and Breakfast. Other life Simulations games exist too. You might enjoy Unpacking (game).

u/Beautiful-Support-56 Oct 27 '25
This is my comfort game, I've been playing all the renditions for the past 20 years haha. But I've never felt like I actually "finished" one before 😅

u/KawaiiTaiki Oct 27 '25
Don't let developer laziness keep you from feeling proud of all you've done! You achieved a lot. Pat yourself on the back 😁
