Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 2.0.1 Update Brings Many Bug Fixes (Full Patch Notes)

3 years ago Justin 5 Comments

Nintendo has just released a minor new Version 2.0.1 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) tonight bringing a number of bug fixes and adjustments to the game!

Following up on the major Version 2.0 Update launched on Wednesday, November 3rd last week, today’s release is a relatively minor update focused on fixing up a few bugs and glitches that popped up in Version 2.0.

This isn’t to be mistaken for a major update that contains new content — those come with more fanfare than this, plus Nintendo has insisted that major new content will no longer be released for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

The most noteworthy fix in this update addresses a major bug that Nintendo announced themselves earlier this week where an issue would occur when players try to remodel a villager’s house while their airport gate is open.

It seems the Animal Crossing developers have been working quite hard over the past week though as quite a few other fixes have been made as well totalling about ten different issues.

These other bug fixes for Version 2.0 include a missing Sanrio item in Nook Shopping, missing DIY crafting recipes under certain tabs, villagers cooking on the wrong type of furniture item, and more.

A major fix has been made for the Happy Home Paradise DLC as well focused on the School facility. According to Nintendo, if you previously proceeded without designing the school facility, there are two ways to fix your save data to the ‘proper’ conditions:

For Players that have not remodeled the school: After completing 1 or 2 other jobs, and no other events trigger at that time, the event to design the school will trigger.

For players that have remodeled the school: The event for designing the school will not trigger, but the features that normally unlock from the event to design the school (such as furniture items and room size) will become useable when you start your next job.

All together, this is a pretty solid bug fix patch taking care of many issues that cropped up as part of the Version 2.0 Update in a very timely manner! Given that Nintendo only promised a fix by the end of November, we’re impressed.

Here’s the full official patch notes for Version 2.0.1 of Animal Crossing: New Horizons released on November 11th, 2021 in English from Nintendo below:
