Path and road designs can be placed on the ground normally or laid on top of an existing path set down via the Island Designer app available on players’ Nook Phones. There are paths available for what ever sort of theme players want for their island, from Pokemon to a classic natural style. Players can also use designs as ways to mark up what fruit trees will be growing or as a backdrop behind hoards of turnips.

Paths and Roads

Players wanting to organize their towns via pathways and roads in ACNH are sure to want to use these design codes. These are also great for players wanting to create shopping centers and other kinds of developed areas on their island.

Path Borders

These design codes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be used to border any kind of path to enhance any area just by laying them down.

Small Paths

These ACNH paths are generally meant to be thin and used on their own. They’re usually placed over grass with only the width of one tile. Many of these codes fit with various possible island themes that a player may choose to pursue.

Extras

There are plenty of patterns that can be placed down to add little details on players’ islands. These also work very well to help with island themes.

Downloading Codes

In order to download ACNH Design Codes for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players must have both a paid Nintendo Switch Online account as well as an internet connection. From there, players need to go to the kiosk located in the back of the Able Sisters tailor shop.

Players can enter either a design’s direct code or the creator’s code. While entering the design’s code will get players direct access to download the design, entering a creator code will give players access to every design uploaded by that creator. This is good for designs that have multiple parts to them, such as many paths.

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