Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise: How to add polish to furniture
When the trailer dropped for the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 Update and Happy Home Paradise, one of the features it showed was the ability to polish. In it, a character cleaned off a series of furniture, making it look sparkly. They also polished a flower until it had butterflies fluttering around it. You know, science. But one thing the trailers never really explained is how you get it.
Like many of the coolest design effects you can now do in the game, you get it by playing through Happy Home Paradise. As you play more, you start to increase your ranking and eventually you start learning how to do new things.
You’re taught how to adjust the size of a home that isn’t yours (cause that would be too damn easy, right?), how to create room partitions, and eventually, how to polish things.
As time goes on, around the time of your second rank boost, you’ll finish a client’s home and when you tell them you’re done you’ll be interrupted by Niko, your tiny coworker. He explains that he’s got a trick to make furniture look extra shiny that he learned from Wendell, your other coworker. The ability lets you hit L while designing a room to go into a mode where you can polish furniture making it shine. At first, that’s all you can do.
As time goes on, about two or three properties later, Niko shows up again and is like “oh, I guess polish is magic,” and teaches you how to turn the sparkle effect into a slew of other effects such as swarmed with butterflies, inhabited by spirits, and more. Below is a video showcasing the various effects…on a toilet. Listen, it’s mostly white and you can see everything clearly on it. Deal.
A lot of the effects are a little overboard but learning to space out the usage works really well. Also putting the frozen furniture on the cloud flooring and then polishing all the frozen stuff with the cold mist creates a really cool effect where it looks like the clouds are blowing over the furniture. I also put a gold rose in my kitchen that sits in a vase with butterflies fluttering around it.
