Started the Paradise Planning Questline on my new island, Decidua. Not going to be as detail as before (or not going to even attempt to be as much) but I probably will still list what designs I did that day. I'm excited to look at the designing in a new lens now that I have a real life house I'm struggling designing lmao.

TODAY'S CLIENTS:
-A Reading Room for Eloise

NSO ran out. Not sure when I'll next be able to justify the purchase. For now this is the end.

Unlocked the ability to suggest home redesigns for our island villagers! Flick's dad, Nat, also taught us all about bugs and now we can release bugs we've caught onto vacation home yards for added life. Wardell taught us the final collection of Soundscapes!

Niko announced he's finishe preparing the venue, all that's missing is the music act. Wardell has it covered!

Once we design the final facility, the festival will begin!

Lottie assaults us with the information we can now design a hospital and gets me to do it right away, considering it priority after her health scare. Decided to do a simple rundown hospital that we'll later upgrade~

Bonded with Wardell while on a break and unlocked more Soundscapes to use in our designs, this time focused on the bustle of life.

We've designed over 20 vacation homes! Had a little staff party at the café in celebration~

Lottie let's in on her big secret plan—holding a music festival! She believes designing at least 10 more homes will help get us the numbers we need for the festival, as well as finishing the rest of the island's facilities. Great goals to strive for!

But oh no, when we came back from a job, Lottie fell ill! Now it's up to me and Niko to handle the clients while she recovers.

But luckily she was back and feeling better once the job was done!

golden pillars counters. knows the truth.

Niko does it again—Marble Pillars and Counters! He wants to take it up a notch now that he has a handle on DIY and has requested gold nuggets for his next recipes. Of course we provided!

Upon starting our shift, an old client Claude came in asking if we could find him a roommate! Poor thing is lonely. We set him up with Sherb!

After finishing the job, we've gained the ability to suggest other clients to get roommates as well!

We met Wardell out by the shore on our break and he taught us to listen to the sounds of world. We can now use Soundscapes in our designs!

After our final client for the day, Lottie dropped the news that we can now design two-story vacation homes! So many more options now available to us!

We got a promotion to Famous Designer~ And with it, the ability to suggest a design concept to a client instead of following their idea...

More Niko recipes! This time for Steel Pillars and Counter Tops! Left resources for the next batch~

A new day means new Niko recipes! This time he gave us recipes for Brick Counters and Brick Pillars! We left more for the next great invention.

Niko gave us two more new creations: concrete pillars and concrete island counters! We left the resources for his next big idea in his DIY box~

When we arrived today, Niko had new recipes for a simple pillar and simple island counters for us thanks to the resources we left him! He thinks Wardell is the one who left them for him. Left him the next batch of resources.

Wardell also let us know that we can now make special orders, letting us purchase nearly any item we've unlocked for designing, yessss!

When we arrived at Paradise Planning, Wardell had a favour to ask of us. He wants us to donate DIY materials to Niko so he can be inspired to create new recipes. Wardell knows creating makes Niko happy and would appreciate anything we could do to help.

In that spirit we donated all the materials Niko currently needed! Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

TODAY'S CLIENTS:
—A DJ Party Zone for Audie.

As soon as we arrived, Niko took us to the school to teach us some of the brand new DIY recipes he's come up with! Thanks to his brilliant work we've learned how to make our first batch of Pillars and Countertops!

After finishing our work, we went upstairs and found Niko struggling to come up with DIY ideas. He asked us to tell us all about what we've made for inspiration which we happily did. From now on he's going to tell us when he comes up with new recipes.

After our conversation we also unlocked the ability to use anything we've crafted previously in our future designs!

TODAY'S CLIENTS:

Unlocked probably the coolest feature from Happy Home Paradise, the Room Sketch App! Now we can design houses anywhere! Previously I used to use Harv's Island to kind of do a sort of version of this, but now I can just do it all myself from the comfort of my home and it's so much nicer and fuller featured, ahhhh. I'm excited to start using it.

Unlocked the Final Set of Soundscapes thanks to Wardell~

When we went to the archipelago, Flick's dad Nat was there! He asked for help finding his way to the school and once there gave us a lecture about bugs. Now we can release bugs onto the lots of our clients vacation homes to add a little extra life! This will be perfect if I ever get to make a vacation home for Flick and CJ :3

For my birthday I decided it was time to finish designing the final facility and partake in the special event! We designed a beautiful chic apparel shop and then busted our moves out on the beach with a special performance by DJ K.K! This DLC has been a treat and a real improvement both on Happy Home Designer and to the base game. I've had just a blast designing houses and facilities and getting closer with the Paradise Planning gang. With the special event now finished, the main story of the DLC has come to a close. There will of course still be homes to design, but for the most part, we've finished the core path.

From this point on I'm only going to update this journal when I actually do design work and not just whenever I access the DLC at all. I still want to design more homes, especially for some special characters but I definitely think this marks the end of daily check-ins and the like.

Still, what a nice pleasant surprise this DLC has been. I ended it with a big beaming smile and I'm glad for all the new features, items and characters it brought to New Horizons.

Paradise Planning Squad Forever!

Received the final set of DIY recipes from Niko, golden counters and golden pillars! He also revealed that he found out we were the ones filling his resource box. DIY BROS 4 LIFE.

Marble counters and pillars from Nico today! It sounds like we might be reaching the end of his DIY recipes, but we'll see. When we entered Paradise Planning we found a new machine there that will let us convert Poki to Bells and Bells to Poki which will be so nice! Now we have more ways to get Poki beyond just designing homes, though it is capped at 30k a day, still, a lifesaver! Can't wait to order all kinds of new furniture.

Received DIY recipes for steel counters and pillars from Nico! He's really been enjoying coming up with these recipes and is still looking for resources for more ideas, so we filled his box yet again~

Lottie got sick!

Niko gifted us recipes for brick counters and pillars thanks to the resources we left him. Again we filled his requests for more, excited to see what he cooks up!

Thanks to the resources we left for Niko last night, this morning he had new recipes for concrete counters and pillars for us! We filled his box with new resources for tomorrow~

Our client today was an old villager of Vesperia, Zell! It was nice to see him again, so of course I had to make him a vacation home. Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to work on his home so I think I'm going to do a remodel for him in the near future.

Turns out Zell's home marks 20 vacation home! We celebrated with a little staff party at the café~ She opened up to us about her intention of holding a music festival for the island, but we'll need at least ten more clients first, as well as finishing off the rest of the island's facilities!

TODAY'S CLIENTS:
—A Perfect Hotel for Zell

Thanks to the resources we left Niko yesterday, he gave us new recipes for a simple counter and a simple pillar! He thinks Wardell is the one who left the resources, and it was too cute to correct him. We supplied the next batch of resources, too.

Unfortunately, due to trying to fix my sleep schedule, I wasn't able to find time today to actually work on client designs. Going to have to work harder at getting my daily writing for NaNoWriMo done earlier in the day so I can relax with Happy Home Designer after~

When we got into work today, Wardell asked for a favour. He's hoping we'd be able to leave DIY materials for Niko since Niko is getting so into DIY and it really makes him happy. Of course we agreed!!! Everyone is so fucking cute. We left the first batch of materials requested, which seem likely to unlock new types of columns maybe??? We'll have to wait and see for now.

After finishing our client for the day, we got another promotion to Famous Designer! Lottie has challenged us to design a vacation home where we set the theme for the villager, I'm not sure if that will apply to whoever we next take or if it's kind of... at our own choice, but we'll see tomorrow I guess!

TODAY'S CLIENTS:
—A Cabin for His Sea Voyage for Del

Nico taught us how to use columns/pillars and countertops! Very excited for the design opportunities this will open up. Wardell also let us start making special orders! We can now order any furniture we've unlocked during our designs. Real excited for this, though it does kind of make the main shop a little redundant but still, ahhh. We ran into one of our old villagers on the island, Roscoe, and I couldn't wait to invite him to the archipelago. After finishing Roscoe's home, Lottie also informed us we can now provide two-story homes! Ahhh!

TODAY'S CLIENTS:
—A Monotone Home for Roscoe

Need to decompress and ride out some bad emotions so I turned to Paradise Planning! Made a bunch of vacation homes for people, including our first set of roommates! Thanks to Nico we unlocked the ability to use any DIY items we've crafted before in our designs as well as the aforementioned ability to pair up villagers to share a vacation home together. After a long day of work, we sat with Wardell at the shore and he opened our ears to the sounds of nature. As a result, we unlocked our very first Soundscapes to use when designing!

TODAY'S CLIENTS:
—A Piano Lounge for Fauna
—A 'Portal to the Land of Nod' for Olivia
—A Chic and Relaxing Home for Two for Pecan & Mallory
—A Mad Scientist's Lair for Raddle

We finally return to our design passions! We built and opened a new café on the resort. I had a hard time settling on what the café should be like so, for now, I just based it off a local café from where I grew up. Later on I'll redesign it with something new I think, but it's a nice fit for now. After that I was so pleased to see Cephalobot at the resort! He showed up during my villager hunt today and I was so sad I couldn't take him, so to see him here was such a welcome surprise and I was so glad I could include him at the archipelago. I also reunited with one of my old villagers Tybalt and was glad to find him a spot on the resort, too. I'd love to be able to eventually make homes for all of my old fav villagers.

Lottie also let us know that we can build a restaurant on the resort island whenever we please. I'm excited to do so, but feel like I should wait and use it as a reward for completing something, maybe one of my stories for NaNoWriMo. So we'll see!

TODAY'S CLIENTS:
—A Café for Lottie!
—A Reminder of His Other Home for Cephalobot.
—A Slugger's Dugout for Tybalt.

Sadly, another night where I couldn't work on the island. Spent all my Poki on items though, so I better get working again soon!

Sadly couldn't make time to work tonight as I had NaNoWriMo commitments, but I did stop by the archipelago to check out today's wares in the shop and to take some resources home.

Celebrated our tenth finished vacation home with a little staff party with the rest of the gang at Paradise Planning! Also unlocked customization for polishing effects, opening so many new doors!

As soon as we got to work, Leif treated us to a lecture at the school all about flowers and crops, thereby letting us use hybrid flowers and crops in our designs! While out working for clients we also unlocked the ability to use partition walls thanks to Nico who gifted us a DIY recipe for the walls so we can now use them at home!
