Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers plenty of ways for players to sculpt their islands into whatever designs they want. One of the best ways of organizing the island is through the creation of proper pathways that can be unlocked via the Island Designer app on players' Nookphones.

Through the use of the design portal and custom designs, plenty of players have been creating their very own designs for paths that can be used on the islands of other players. These designs can change the feel of a normal brick path to a cute and flowery walkway. The only limit is creativity and available design slots.

Pathways

These codes can be used to cover up existing paths available through the island design app or can just be laid out on their own with their own custom edges. All of these paths can help players who want a certain theme or feel for their islands, such as a theme-park or a natural wonderland.

Add-Ons

For players looking to add just a little something to their paths in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, these designs can be placed on or nearby pathways. They can also be used to add little details to grass and sandy beaches.

Borders

Sometimes a good path needs to have some kind of border to make it pop. This can give them a pseudo three-dimensional effect, surround garden plots, or even make their own pathways. Either way, these can all completely change the feel and context for other pathways whether they be from the vanilla game or user created.

Downloading Codes

In order to download these codes, players must have an internet connection with their Nintendo Switch as well as a paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Without either, these codes cannot be downloaded to a player's copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Players can access the design portal through the kiosk in the back of the Able Sisters tailor shop. Via this kiosk, players can search for a design via the design id code or the creator id code. Entering the design id will directly connect players to the design they were looking for while entering the creator id will take players to every design uploaded by that creator. From there, players can download any design listed by that creator. This is especially helpful if a path has multiple parts that need to be downloaded.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
