Animal Crossing: New Leaf ups the design limit to 10 designs and Mabel will store 72 designs. In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, each player may hold 8 designs on them at a time, although the latter game allow 64 additional designs to be stored with Mabel. Befriending Sable in the latter game will unlock a variety of pre-made designs that can be applied to certain furniture.ĭesigns can be displayed in the Able Sisters where villagers may start wearing them and other players may copy the designs for themselves. In New Leaf and New Horizons, designs can be used to customize furniture. In Wild World, Wendell will give out a unique design depending on the type of edible item he is given.

In Animal Crossing only, players can also place a design on their front door.

Designs that are placed on the ground will prevent anything from growing or spawning in that tile and, prior to New Horizons, cause items dropped from trees and fallen balloon presents to disappear if there is not enough space for them to land. Designs can also be placed as paintings and, from Wild World onward, overlaid on the ground. The created design can be applied to clothing, umbrellas, hats, carpeting, and wallpaper. Designs are custom-made patterns comprised of 32x32 pixels that can be created in each game (excluding Doubutsu no Mori) through an editing interface.
