I haven't got the customization tool yet and I'm anxious that my game could be bugged

So, I was talking with a friend that started playing like 5 days after me and he already has the tool to change furniture color, I found that weird because I thought that was something that you got later on the game.

So I asked more friends and they all got it, even the phone case customization, and I don't know why Nook hasn't given me that option yet... I've got the shop, the museum, three new villager houses finished, I've expanded my house three times and tomorrow the Town Hall's construction starts, I talk with Nook and nothing, he hasn't even given me the wardrobe recipe that is supposedly needed to get that tool, and the phone case customization isn't at the terminal too.

I'm really anxious that my game has bugged somehow and I will never have that option, I don't know if Tom Nook can give it after the Town Hall is finished.

Am I being paranoid? Did I forget to do something?

Did you do Nook's tasks? The one he gives you when you ask him "what should I do?".
 
Did Tom ever announce on a morning that he was offering an "advanced DIY workshop" to you? Because the was the customisation workshop

Yes, he hasn't given me new dialogue, he just repeats the last thing, something like "everything is done, just do whatever you want"

No, he hasn't, at least I don't remember it
But even if he did and I didn't read it (althought that would be weird, I'm that kind of player that hates spamming A because I have a very high FOMO always) he should give me that option if I went to speak with him, which he doesn't

According to this article, you have to unlock the museum and do the original 3 houses for new villagers. Is that all done?

Yes, as I said, everything, Nook announced this morning that my Town Hall starts building tomorrow
 
Make sure

1. Pay off your tent, and move into a house
2. Build a museum (not tent)
3. Build Nook Cranny
4. Build 3 Villager homes.

It's possible to you skipped past the dialogue.

Nook will ask you to craft a certain item before you can begin the customization class. You'll need to find that out and craft it.

Again, I've 100% done all of that, my Town Hall starts the construction tomorrow, it's not that :(
 
The option to do the workshop appears when you use the workbench in town hall/tent.
 
Hmm, very weird. But I do remember that the phone customization unlocks with the town hall. It adds more things as well, like more inventory space and a lot of recipes and furniture pieces.

But you should definitely have customization. According to a website:

To unlock customization, complete the following tasks:

Unlock the Museum.
Get three new villagers to move to your island (you can meet and invite new villagers you come across on Mystery Island Tours).
After completing the above, attend the customization workshop Tom Nook invites you to.

I think the important part is that the 3 villagers already moved in?

Look into this

You're missing something, and it could be that you've already started the quest and just need to finish

Also, there is no "customization tool", unless you're referring to customization kits, which Nook will gift you a couple, as-well-as sell at his shop (Nook's Cranny).

My bf doesn't have the Town Hall and he bought the phone case customization in his tent's terminal

And yeah, I know, I've searched everywhere and every page says the same, I've already done everything that they say... I hope my game isn't bugged and I have to restart... maybe I've forgot some little detail but I don't know what could it be, it can't be any major thing since as I said my Town Hall starts the construction tomorrow
 
if you're willing, I believe you can make a new account (like a new switch account) and get it to join your island. you should get the option to do a customising DIY workshop on day 2. if not, then something is seriously wrong here

That item is a wardrobe, that's what my friends and every page says, and I've looked everywhere for that wardrobe recipe he supposedly gives (and I don't remember that happening in my game) but I assure you I don't have it

I will try that as a last resort, but ugh... thank you for the idea :(

Can you see if you can buy and use the kits from the shop?

I've checked and there isn't any kit, like, I just have the same recipes as always, for tools like shovel and axe
 
I wonder what would happen if someone gave you a kit, like, would it let you use it?
 

The option isn't "What should I do", but "About that workshop". If I am following it correctly, this guy didn't get that option until Day 5
