Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been out for almost a year now, but the delightful adventure filled with fuzzy-friends continues to surprise players. One of the best things about Tom Nook's gateway package is the freedom it offers you to explore and develop your very own sandy shores. Nook might give you a little bit of guidance to begin with, but for the most part, it's left up to you to uncover all that your island has to offer you.
