A lot of the features found in this game (such as the Touch Screen furniture arrangement tool) were ported into New Leaf via its Welcome amiibo update.

A burgundy square embedded in a few roof textures.

A white dummy door texture along with its final version. These are very similar in design to Animal Crossing: New Leaf‍ '​s dummy door texture. Only New Leaf's brown dummy door returns in Happy Home Designer.

A guideline for designing clothes. This texture returns from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

A guideline meant specifically for pants/bottoms.

Also back from New Leaf is this design dummy texture. It doesn't appear nearly as often.

Unused Regional Content#

Various landmarks in the game have versions with Korean localized textures. Happy Home Designer never got localized into Korean, so these go unused.

Unused Villager Characters#

Unused Icons#

16 unused villagers' client icons can be found in romfs/Layout/IconNpc. All of them would later return in Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo.

In addition, Snowboy along with the other Snowpeople have their own client icons. Since they don't appear as clients in game, their icons go unused.

Unused Models#

To do:
Render images.

Four other unused villagers remain in the files as unfinished models. They can be found in romfs/Npc/Normal.

  • Hornsby

  • Weber
