A few days ago, a new idea for the next Animal Crossing game came up in my head. It’s custom themes for Animal Crossing. Not custom items like user mods or Re-Tail’s modifications. Custom groups you put objects into.
What you do here is that you head to the Happy Home Academy and review your catalog. This will not only browse previously created themes, including the themes already existing in the game such as the Cabin Series, the Construction Theme, and the Office Set, but you can also create new themes and edit custom themes. As you make a theme, you can choose which furniture pieces or other items (that counted as furniture in previous games) to be part of the theme, and if you want, add a matching carpet and wallpaper.
Back in the GameCube version, it’s against the interior design laws to mix themes and series, as each unmatching item lowers your score by 4,000 points. It didn’t matter in Wild World when you had furniture genres, or in New Leaf when you had HHA themes like Toy Shop and Rustic. In this idea, you can make custom themes, and it will even give you an HHA bonus.
There are limits and restrictions though. One of them is that you can have, at max, eight custom themes per town. Only the mayor can make, edit, and delete custom themes, but anybody can follow them. If you name your theme, it can’t be the same name as another theme (including already-existing themes) or an inappropriate name. You may use items that already belong to another theme (including a custom theme), but you can’t use anymore than five items from the same theme, with carpets and wallpaper being the only exception. You can have only 15 items at max per theme. And lastly, you can only choose what’s on your catalog to be part of the theme.
