Update v2.0 + HHP Discussion Thread

So it seems that Redd can now sometimes sell only fake artwork at his shop on Harv's island. I went to the island today and noticed that both of the art pieces he was selling were fake.
This has actually always been a thing before the update. Sometimes he will have all fakes, sometimes he will have more than one genuine art/statue.
 
Does anyone know how to set a picture in HHP? Like, I thought I took a picture of my facilities and homes but they’re not showing up :/ only the older ones are

After you take a picture (only the last one will count), close the camera app and then click +, it will give you the option to change the picture to the last one you took.
 
Well, I "completed" HHP. I jotted down what you unlock at various points yet again and put it in the OP (even if some of the info has been said already, lol):
  • After the 16th house, once you continue working, you'll gain the ability to have roommates in vacation homes when remodeling a villager's vacation home
  • After the 17th house, you learn soundscapes after a cutscene with Wardell
  • After the 18th house, you can do storey vacation homes
  • After the 19th house, you can suggest ideas to villagers, and also get more Poki + work clothes
  • After the 20th house, you have another party and get the end goal for HHP
  • After the 22nd house, you get a present from Lottie
  • After the 24th house, you unlock another facility (hospital)
  • After the 25th house, you lean more soundscapes after another cutscene with Wardell
  • After the 27th house, Tom Nook visits and allows you to use your entire catalog for decorating vacation homes
  • After the 30th house, you unlock the last facility (apparel shop)
  • After the apparel shop is complete, you get the credits
  • After the credits, you unlock more reactions (Grooving Hop, Groove Right, Groove Left, Soak It In, Side-to-Side, Island Stomp, Airplane, Twisty Dance, Shimmy, Turnip Patch, Arm-Swing Dance)
  • After returning to your island after the credits and entering the Residential Services building, you unlock the option to remodel your villagers' homes (exterior and interior). It costs 9,000 bells per home, you have everything available to you that you would on the archipelago and you can do multiple homes per day.
After the credits, I believe there is no more ability unlocks on a per-house level.

Various notes:
  • There's a DIY bottle on the beach every day
  • The teacher at the school can give you an item once per day
  • The chef at the restaurant teaches cooking DIYs once per day
  • The co-chefs at the cafe allow you to order food/drinks with Poki (8 total items, I believe it changes every day)
  • The receptionist + doctor are able to give you clothing items at the hospital (once per day)
  • Can expand the hospital by donating 120,000 Poki
  • You're able to buy the items on the mannequins in your apparel shop, items change every day
  • Can dance with villagers from various facilities after the initial credits
  • The next day after opening the school, Leif will come visit, which will unlock the use of hybrid flowers and crops in the archipelago.
  • You get rewards for # of houses completed in the mail
It's kinda interesting, since I would argue you're actually better off just rushing through the first 30 houses for HHP, since after that you'll actually have everything you need for designing the houses. Then you can just go back and remodel the old houses and properly design the new vacation homes to your heart's content, lol.

Thanks a lot for this useful info. But man, did you actually give those houses full furnishings? XD Or you'll come back to it some other time? I'm tempted to just give them barebone houses and remodel them later on.

ngl, I was giving minimal effort at the end there so I could get it done, lol. I put in more effort with the ideas I liked, though, I will say that.

Same. I had few houses that I really like the concept of. The lack of furniture selection on the early houses is kinda preventing me from giving effort. Also, I really want to unlock the house customization already, then I'd just go back to the old houses.
 
Don't know if this is new or if I just missed it, but you can now order handheld items, like the Tambourine, from the Shopping app. Same thing for tools, including the shop variants.

It is in the "Wallpaper, flooring and more" section, under "Tools/Goods" (the Shovel icon)

Yes, that's new! They also display fencing in its own tab and seasonal items in their respective sections as well, which is definitely a welcome change.

Do you know if we're stuck with who we pick, or can they be 'booted' out?
 
Old villagers who you invite to the Roost with Amiibos remember you.

does anyone know if you can find new forageables on the old nmt islands? (seems sort of counterintuitive but like, maybe?)

You can't remove a villager once they've had a home built for them on the archipelago. From what I've seen, even if you got the villager to be a roommate of somebody else, you're forced to make a home for them once they're split up. Considering that there is no limit on the number of homes you can make, this doesn't surprise me.

Oh, you can have more than one house in an acre or something?

Yeah. Basically the acre just determines the area that's used for the house exterior, so multiple houses would each get their own copy of that area. Only the latest villager to have their house built/remodeled on that acre would have their face show up on the map.

Ahhh, OK. I thought I'd be stuck with whoever's face on that acre for the rest of my game, lol. Can you move people's homes to a new acre?
