What is the objective of this game?

I'm an avid fan of ACNL, but I just don't get the whole objective of Happy Home Designer. Do you have to design houses the whole time or what?

Yup, basically that!

Villagers appear randomly asking you to design a house for them, and give you a theme. You then use the theme to design the room for them. For example, Goldie asks for a home for a bookworm, so obviously you fill the room with bookcases and places for her to read and stuff.

As you progress in the game, you can also design the exterior of the houses and more than just one room; and some buildings in town such as a hospital, a caf?, and a school.

From what I've seen (I don't own the game yet- but I will soon) you're basically designing homes (interior and exterior) and choosing a location (w/ a season) with a theme in mind. So, a character gives you a task to build their home, they tell you what they're looking for and you're free to design it anyway you like but within reason.
Another feature is you can also take on other character's home from the Amiibo cards or DLC. Or invite or call characters using your cards.

Just browse through all of the threads ; this question was asked over a dozen times in separate threads and in the faq thread that is stickied to the HHD forums.
