Learn how to start the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC! This guide walks you through meeting Lottie and joining the Paradise Planning team.
Hey there! So you've picked up the Happy Home Paradise DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons and you're wondering how to jump in? Don't worry, it's super straightforward! As soon as you boot up the game after purchasing the DLC, you'll get a call from Tom Nook himself. He'll ask you to pop over to the Airport to meet a friend of his.
When you get to the Airport, you'll meet Lottie, who runs a business all about creating dream vacation homes. She'll offer you a spot on her team, and you can totally say no and join later if you want, but why wait? Go ahead and accept her offer! This unlocks the ability to tell the Dodo at the counter that you're ready to 'go to work' and start your new career.
After a quick flight cutscene, you'll land on a brand new island and be greeted by Niko, a super cute monkey character new to New Horizons. He'll lead you to the Paradise Planning office where you'll properly meet Lottie, Niko, and Wardell. Even though Lottie's the manager, you'll all be working together to design amazing vacation homes for clients!
Lottie will then tell you to head upstairs to change into your official Paradise Planning uniform. The locker area is right behind her. You can choose between a dress or shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Feel free to use the mirror nearby to change your hairstyle or overall appearance if you fancy a new look!
Once you're all kitted out, head back downstairs and chat with Lottie again. Just as you're finishing up, your very first client will arrive! It's time to start planning their dream vacation home. If you want to know how to tackle that first design, check out our guide on completing your first vacation home!
