You can keep those airports open again
Animal Crossingplayers have been at it, designing homes,farming, and opening coffee shops. Meanwhile, Nintendo has confirmed it’s squashed one peskyAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsbug it had previously warned players to avoid.
On Nov. 5,Nintendo tweeted outthat players who owned theHappy Home ParadiseDLC forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsmight experience gameplay bugs if they ask to remodel a resident’s home while their airport gate is open.
As long as the gates were closed, remodeling should have been fine. And today, Nintendo released Ver. 2.0.1 ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsto fix the gameplay bugs mentioned.
A new#AnimalCrossing: New Horizons software update (Ver2.0.1) that fixes the gameplay bugs mentioned above is now available. Thank you for your patience.

So, if you’re looking forward to having some company over, you don’t have to worry about remodeling or not while the gates are open.
I imagine the discovery happened quick, as it seemed like everyone was logging on last week to playAnimal Crossingwhenthe 2.0 update dropped early. I’ve since been steadily working my way through the DLC, and it’s pretty much exactly what I wanted. Because I missed out on theHappy Home Designerstandalone, it’s been cool to see firsthand why that particularAnimal Crossinggame garnered a fervent following.
But really, it’s been fun just logging back on each day.No need to stressabout speeding through anything, because I can just enjoy what seems like it’ll be the last major update forAnimal Crossing: New Horizons.At least now I know I can safely leave my airport gate open when my turnip prices are popping, and not worry about any bugs putting a stop to my remodeling.
