Happy Home Academy

Learn how to boost your Animal Crossing: New Leaf house score with the Happy Home Academy! Get tips on furniture, themes, Feng Shui, and unlock awesome prizes from Lyle.

Hey there! So, you've moved into your new place in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and you've probably met Lyle from Nook's Homes. He's your guy for all things Happy Home Academy (HHA). Think of him as your personal home decorating coach!

You can chat with Lyle every day to see how the HHA rates your house and get some pointers on how to make it even better. Just a heads-up, that basement of yours doesn't actually count towards your score, so don't stress too much about decorating it for the HHA.

To really rack up those HHA points, you'll want to focus on collecting furniture that belongs to the same series, and make sure your wallpaper and flooring match. You can also create themed rooms by gathering specific decoration items. It's all about creating a cohesive look!

Now, let's talk Feng Shui. This ancient art can seriously boost your HHA rating and even bring you some good luck in the game. It's all about placing furniture in specific spots based on its color. Here’s the breakdown:

• Good Bell Luck: If you want more bells, place yellow furniture against the west wall of a room.
• Good Item Luck: Want to find more furniture and clothing? Place red items against the east wall.
• Good Luck: For a general boost to your luck, place green items against the south wall.

The HHA also gives out some pretty cool prizes if you manage to hit certain score milestones. Here’s what you can earn:

Keep decorating and chatting with Lyle, and you'll be well on your way to a top-notch house!
