Learn how to unlock and design two-story vacation homes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Happy Home Paradise DLC. Get tips for creative layouts and roommate designs.

Hey there! So you're looking to give your vacation home clients a bit more space, huh? Unlocking the ability to build two-story homes in the Happy Home Paradise DLC is super straightforward, but it does take a little bit of work upfront.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you need to design a total of 18 Vacation Homes for your clients. Just keep taking on new clients and fulfilling their design requests.
  2. 2
    Once you've completed your 18th vacation home, Lottie will pop up and let you know that you've unlocked the ability to offer a second story! Congrats!
  3. 3
    From this point on, you can offer a second story right from the beginning when you're discussing the vacation home concept with a client.
  4. 4
    Alternatively, if you're already in the middle of decorating a home, you can chat with the client again and tell them you'd like to add an extra floor.
  5. 5
    Don't forget, you can also revisit homes you've already designed! Just find Niko and let him know which house you'd like to go back and add a second story to.
  6. 6
    Changed your mind about adding a second story? No worries! Just talk to the client again while you're remodeling and let them know you've decided against it.
Tips
  • The second story is a fantastic way to handle clients who are roommates. You can dedicate one floor to each roommate's specific tastes, avoiding clashing decor. For example, one roommate could have a cozy reading nook upstairs while the other gets their dream bathroom downstairs.
  • Even if you're designing for a single client, a second story offers tons of creative freedom. You can put the required furniture items anywhere in the house – downstairs, upstairs, or even in the garden! Let your imagination run wild.
  • Think about how you want to divide the space. Downstairs could be a lovely living area, while upstairs could be a private bedroom or hobby room. The possibilities are endless!

The ability to design two-story vacation homes, opening up a whole new level of creativity for your clients!
