Eight villagers return from {{DnM}}, {{DnM+}}, {{PG}}, and the Japan-exclusive {{DnMe+}}. Four villagers (marked {{E+ icon}} below) initially only appeared in the latter game and have now received localized names for the first time.

[[Kapp'n]] appears in his boat at the island's [[pier]] and will take the player on a [[boat tour]] for {{Currency|Nook Miles|1,000}} once per day, letting the player discover several new islands, differing from the original suite of islands that could be visited.

===Harv's Island expansion===

[[Harv's Island]] has been expanded to the north to include a new shopping area, styled as a commune. {{Currency|Bells|100000}} must be raised for each plot to invite special characters to set up a permanent shop:

*[[Harriet]] gives the player exclusive haircuts, and will teach them how to create these styles so that the player can subsequently choose them using a mirror.

*[[Saharah]] sells [[wallpaper]], [[flooring]], and [[rugs]], several of which are exclusive to her shop.

*[[Kicks]] sells [[shoes]], [[socks]], and [[bags]].

*[[Leif]] sells starts, [[bush]]es, and [[flower]]s, and will weed the player's island.

*[[Redd]] sells [[art]] and runs a raffle stand, allowing the player to get various holdable items.

*[[Cyrus]] and [[Reese]] can redesign furniture variations that cannot be customized using a [[DIY workbench]].

*[[Katrina]] performs fortune readings for the player to determine their [[luck]] for the day. She can also look into the player's friendship for specific villagers.

*[[Tortimer]] allows the player to access their personal [[storage unit]]. If playing during [[fall]], Tortimer is replaced by [[Cornimer]], who gives the player {{I|acorn|NH}}s when talked to.

Additionally, all special characters who have an amiibo but were not available before this update can now be invited to Photopia.

Three new storage upgrades are available, beyond the upgrade to 2,400 items offered in the [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history/1.6.0|Ver. 1.6.0]] update. The player's total storage capacity can now be subsequently upgraded to 3,200, 4,000, and 5,000 items, for 700,000, 900,000, and 1,200,000 Bells, respectively. [[DIY recipes|Recipes]] can now also be placed into storage.

 

The exterior shape of the player's house can now be [[House customization|customized]] between 4 different styles, similar to a feature present in {{NL}}. These styles include the default wood and stone appearance, a log cabin, a rounded stucco design, and a Japanese castle aesthetic. These all match the various stylings of the [[villager]] houses present in the game. The costs for customizing and moving houses have also been reduced.

22 new [[series (furniture)|furniture series]] and [[set|furniture sets]] were added.

*[[Metal and Wood Set]]

Home improvements not listed here are options available to players who own the {{HHP|short}} DLC, which can eventually be integrated into the player's home once a certain threshold is met. These include {{I|partition wall|NH}}s, pillars, [[polishing]], [[soundscapes]], and lighting adjustments.

After building eight [[bridge]]s and [[incline]]s, the Island Representative can redeem the {{I|Pro Construction License|NH}} to increase the limit for building bridges and inclines from eight to ten.

 

Nine new [[fence]]s are added and can be crafted, and both new and original fences can now be customized with a range of different colors.

*{{I|Corrugated iron fence|NH}}

*{{I|Frozen fence|NH}}

*{{I|Iron fence|NH}}

*{{I|Large lattice fence|NH}}

*{{I|Lattice fence|NH}}

*{{I|Park fence|NH}}

*{{I|Simple wooden fence|NH}}

*{{I|Vertical-board fence|NH}}

*{{I|Wedding fence|NH}}

*{{I|Zen fence|NH}}

A new {{I|storage shed|NH}} item allows the player to access their home storage when placed outside, while the {{I|ABD|NH}} allows [[Bell]]s to be deposited and withdrawn from wherever the item is placed. Plumeria bushes, in [[File:Pink-Plumeria Bush NH Inv Icon.png|30px|link=|alt=]] pink or [[File:White-Plumeria Bush NH Inv Icon.png|30px|link=|alt=]] white, were also added in the game, and can be obtained from [[Leif]], on one of Kapp'n's boat tours, or from the teacher at the [[school]] in {{HHP|short}}. They bloom from June 1 - September 20 (Northern Hemisphere) and December 1 - March 20 (Southern Hemisphere).

The {{I|Be a Chef! DIY Recipes+|NH}} upgrade can be purchased from the Nook Stop to unlock the ability to [[cooking]] and various cooking recipes. Edible food can be crafted with a [[kitchenware]] by combining both the new and existing ingredients together. New ingredients include a variety of new harvestable flora that can be grown, such as {{I|tomato|NH}}es, {{I|potato|NH}}es, {{I|carrot|NH}}s, {{I|wheat|NH}}, and {{I|sugarcane|NH}}. Their produce starts are obtainable from [[Leif]].  

[[Island Life 101]] is a new service that offers regular tips and guidance about life on the island, both via the app on the [[NookPhone]] and on the loading screen. The service can be obtained from [[Tom Nook]] at the beginning of the game or can be redeemed for {{Currency|Nook Miles|400}}.

The {{I|Pro Camera App|NH}} can be purchased with Nook Miles, allowing the player to walk around with a handheld camera or set a tripod camera. It also adds four more filters to the app. Characters that get into frame with the player's camera will react and pose for pictures.

Multiple new [[reactions]] have also been added, and can be obtained via {{I|New Reactions Notebook|NH}}, or by completing 50 group stretching sessions. Other new reactions not listed here are exclusive to the {{HHP|short}} DLC.

 

'''From group stretching once for 50 days:'''

*[[File:Posture Warm-Up NH Reaction Icon.png|25px|link=|alt=]] Posture Warm-Up

*[[File:Arm Circles NH Reaction Icon.png|25px|link=|alt=]] Arm Circles

Several other island features, such as redesigning a villager's house or resetting a villager's house to their default furnishing via Isabelle, are only available to the {{HHP|short}} DLC.

 

 

*Tomato Festival is celebrated from August 20 to August 31 with a {{I|Tomato Festival tee|NH}}.

[[File:NH Promo 2.0 10.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The player digging up a squeezoid.]]

[[Gyroid]]s return from previous games, featuring a smaller design than seen before and the ability to be customized. {{I|Gyroid fragment|NH}}s can be found and buried underground, and when watered they will turn into a gyroid which can be retrieved the next day. As in previous games, gyroids will sync their sound effects in time to any music playing nearby. As in previous games, fully-formed gyroids can be unearthed following rain on the player's island, or on mysterious islands that are experiencing rain.

The [[music box]] item returns from {{NL|nolink}}, now as a craftable item with two variations (shell and wooden). The music box plays gentle variations of [[List of K.K. Slider songs|K.K. Slider songs]], and now functions like a standard [[stereo]], allowing any obtained song to be played from it.

 

12 new K.K. Slider songs are added, which can be purchased from [[Nook Shopping]] or otherwise be played by K.K. during his concerts. This brings the total number of songs up to 107. The newly-added songs consist of the following:

K.K. Fugue NH Texture.png | [[K.K. Fugue]]

K.K. Polka NH Texture.png | [[K.K. Polka]]

K.K. Slack-Key NH Texture.png | [[K.K. Slack-Key]]

In addition, two new special NPCs were added in version 2.0 and can be invited over to Photopia or the Roost. Besides those two appearances, they are only available to the {{HHP|short}} DLC.

[[Wisp]]'s item gifts chances have changed. Prior to this update, the chances of getting a furniture item were significantly lower, the pricing range was much lower, and when selecting "Something expensive", Wisp would pull from two different Tables, with the second Table having a 10% of being used. In this update, Wisp's two Table setup has been removed, and now when selecting "Something expensive", Wisp will instead determine the item within the pricing range based on the status of [[Nook's Cranny]]. The pricing ranges and chance percentages have also been modified.<ref name="Wisp">{{Cite web|url=https://acnh.isomorphicbox.com/updates/2.0.0/#wisp|title=2.0.0 - Animal Crossing: New Horizons Datamine|author=asteriation}}</ref>

*Villagers now contribute more [[Bell]]s to public works than before.

*Villagers now have more variation in their spoken dialogue.

*Villagers can now wear custom designs at Photopia, even if they were not initially wearing them when brought there. However, they cannot wear designs that were transferred from {{NL|short|nolink}} or {{HHD|short|nolink}}.
