Hello, and welcome to my Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Blog! I'm Jeff and here you can follow along with my adventures in the game. Unlike other Animal Crossing games, Happy Home Designer does not run in real-time. So each blog entry will usually cover multiple "game days." If you'd like, you can start from the beginning or just jump right in!
Day 36
Today, I met Rooney out on Main Street. He wanted a boxing gym for his house...I can do that!
The outside appearance isn't as important with an indoor-theme like a boxing gym, so I didn't do a whole lot outdoors. I put in a couple of beacon fires, a sandbag for some outdoor training, and a metal bench for when Rooney needs to take a rest. I set the season to spring for no reason other than the fact that the cherry blossom petals are pretty. But I suppose the springtime would be a good time to train outdoors, since it's not freezing out but not excessively hot either.
Of course, I put in a full boxing ring indoors. It doesn't leave room for much else, though--even though I chose a larger, eight-by-six room size. But I managed to include a sandbag, a speed bag, and a judge's bell. But shockingly, the ringside seating and boxing ring mat have not been unlocked! That makes absolutely no sense at all for a boxing-themed house. So I ended up using the sporty wall and red tile floor. I also used cheering as the sound scenery; it's a natural fit. As for Rooney and I, we hopped into the ring for some competitive napping.
When I was done, Rooney taught me the inspiration emotion. He had his boxing gloves on during the montage. (Cue the Rocky theme song).
I uploaded his house to the Happy Home Network; the code to visit it is 0392-7721-965. Or just scan this QR code.
Day 37
I stopped in the concert hall briefly, and I found Tangy singing a song! Maelle and Ribbot were also in the band, performing on stage. They were the best fruit-duck-robot band I've ever heard!
I found a new client in Merry, who wanted a place to practice painting and sketching for art class. I put a few statues in her yard, as well as some blue hydrangeas along the sides of her property.
Indoors, I quickly found that there was no new artsy furniture unlocked for this project. A giant-clam shell was added, although it can't be turned into a music box like it could in New Leaf. A ceramic tile floor was unlocked, but no new wallpaper--so I used the arched window in here.
Using some famous works of art in here was an easy decision. I also gave her a painting set and used some of my own patterns on easels. "I might paint a picture of a clown."
All of the designs shown are available here if you want to scan them for yourself. When I was done, Merry taught me the shock emotion. I uploaded the house to the Happy Home Network--its code is 0202-7721-945.
