Did you play (and enjoy) Happy Home Designer? If yes, its worth it.
Personally, I would recommend it. While I'm not big on interior decorating, and I've never played HHD, I'm enjoying it so far. It also provides features to the main game that I think are also worth it.
And for only 24.99 USD, its way cheaper than a full game release. So I honestly think its worth it.

I've done two houses so far and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I definitely think it's worth it. A big part I like is the Poki currency and the item shop on the HHP island that lets you buy new items.

I'm debating on whether to get it, I'm not really interested in designing the vacation homes personally (I played Happy Home Designer and got way too overwhelmed with seemingly infinite villagers to make homes for), but I do really want to be able to unlock designing my own island's villagers' homes/exteriors. I'm trying to decide for myself if $25 is worth it just for that.

i would absolutely recommend it! it's a lot of fun to have this level of creative freedom and an extra aspect of gameplay, plus you get newe features you can bring over to your own island which is a fun bonus. if you ever played HHD and enjoyed it, 100% you'll enjoy this too because it's more or less the same thing but as an added bonus to a regular game instead of its own thing! if you never played HHD, perhaps watch some gameplay of that and assess your feelings on it - there may also be full HHP gameplay out there already but i haven't looked

I would say 100% yes, but it really depends on what you like or not.
If you really enjoy decorating it's crazy fun! Plus, it really adds more challenge to the game and you get a nice set of rewards. And this is not even considering the items included in the DLC + all the interior design features (like walls, partitions, pilars, polishing, changing your villagers houses in your main island, etc).

I don't think this DLC will be released in another form than digital. Reason is quite simple - it's just DLC, not a separate game like ACNL and HHD. This DLC requires ACNH. I couldn't even imagine how to use physical copy of this DLC - hot-swapping cardridges or what?

Honestly it is! It's such a sweet little addition and it could definitely add a lot to daily routines, and also add a lot of opportunity to design rooms that you might not otherwise design. It can satiate your desire for interior design, especially if you want to design interiors for specific villagers/NPCs/etc. And it's also a great opportunity to get some of the newer furniture pieces as well.

I think unlocking the ability to redesign our villagers' homes on our own island makes it worth it on that fact alone.
If you enjoyed HHD, then HHP will feel more or less the same. Being apart of the base game though makes it all the better. It would be so cool if HHD was merged into New Leaf the same way.
Probably meaning a separate game from the main game, like HHD and new Leaf being 2 separate games.

“Physical” means an actual physical copy of the game, not just a download.

The great thing about HHP vs HHD is that when you get tired of designing homes, you can fly back to your island and then go back w/e you're ready for more, where as HHD you would just save and close the game.
Yes! I didn't think much of it when the first trailer came out. I decided to preorder it on a whim that it'll make my NH experience better. I wasn't disappointed. I'm very happy with HHP. Niko is so cute. I wish I could take him back to my island

they were asking because it doesn’t make sense for dlc to be made into a physical copy“Physical” means an actual physical copy of the game, not just a download.

I think it’s worth it. I enjoyed HHD and I’m enjoying HHP. Not only is the designing fun and encourages me to do a bunch of different themes with a ton of houses to work with (unlike Harv’s where I would need to keep taking things down) but it also will benefit my NH island with new design tools and the ability to fix some terrible villager homes. Added bonus is the poki item shop acting like a second cranny in a way.
If you don’t like the design aspect of the game then it probably won’t appeal. Otherwise I think it’s very worth playing and the price is good too.

I believe in this case, we're thinking of a cartridge of ACNH *with* HHP included on it. Pokemon Sword/Shield, Breath Of The Wild*, and Splatoon 2* all have had physical cartridge releases with their DLC automatically included. I don't doubt there may be a little bit of downloading required, but the point is you have the DLC included in the cartridge's price.
*: BOTW and Splatoon 2, only in Japan as far as I know. BOTW is region free, so it's possible to import it and play it in every language supported, but Splatoon 2 is region/language locked to Japan only.

I think it's worth it, but I really enjoyed HHD.
If you already don't care about decorating the interior of your house and the exterior of your island, then you probably won't get enough out of this to make it worth the money though. The DLC is primarily about that. Yes, you can get items through the DLC, but you have to buy them with the poki currency that you get from designing houses. If you only want the items, you're better off trying to trade for whatever items may be obtainable in-game only through HHP (no idea right now what, if any, those are).
But if you DO enjoy those things, you absolutely should buy it. You will have so many more things you can do for decorating.
