A Talk with Tom Nook

Leave the town hall and head north, crossing the train tracks to reach Main Street. Take a stroll around the strip if you like, then enter Nook’s Homes, on the left.

A friendly raccoon named Tom Nook greets you inside the shop, and says that Isabelle told him to expect you. Tell Tom you’re ready to pick out a plot for your home, and he’ll follow you back to town.

Picking Your Plot

Lead Tom to the spot where you’d like your home to be built, then speak with him to confirm your decision. Mr. Nook will survey the area to ensure that your home can be built there.

If everything checks out, Tom will show you an example of what your new home will look like. If you’re satisfied with his plans, Mr. Nook will fence off a small plot for your home. All right!

It will take Tom a full day to construct your home, and there are expenses to be considered, of course. The good raccoon tells you to come see him later for the bill, and sets you up with a tent in the meantime. Well, it’s not much, but at least you’ve got a place to stay!
