How to use NFC cards

What do the Animal Crossing NFC Cards do?

The Animal Crossing NFC cards can be used to call your favorite villagers into your Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer game and allow you to decorate the homes of the villagers on the cards.

You can also use the cards to invite villagers over to each other’s houses, Café, Harvey's island assign villagers to jobs in your town, and save furniture items you used to the character’s card and share them with a friend.

Also, using NFC cards is the only way to get design request from special characters (eg., Isabelle, K.K., Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy, Flick and more).

 

Invite villager to your campsite

  1. Interact with the Kiosk at Resident Services

  2. Select invite a Camper 

  3. Scan the NFC card you want to use 

  4. The kiosk will identify the villager on the card, Now select Yes!

  5. After scanning your card, a cutscene will play, showing the invited camper. When you leave Resident Services, the villager you invited will be at your campsite.   
  6. Talk with the villager a couple of times until they ask you to craft something for them. 

     

  7. Agree to their request. They might even give you a new recipe in the processes. This villager will leave your island by the end of the night, so be sure to craft the requested item and give it to the camper before they're gone.

     

  8. The camper is closer to being persuaded, but they won't be ready to move in just yet. The following day repeat steps 1 - 9 for 3 days (three times).

  9. After giving them an item on the next day, talk to them several times to see if they are interested in moving in. You might have to invite them back one more time and craft them another item before they're willing to move in.

  10. If they agree to become a resident but you already have 10 villagers on your island, then you'll need to choose which of your current villagers gets kicked off the island
