Home at Last

You’ve completed Isabelle’s tutorials, but you’re still stuck in that stuffy little tent. Let’s get you set up with a proper home before we wrap up this chapter.

Visit Nook’s Homes on Main Street to speak with Tom Nook again. The friendly raccoon tells you that it’ll take a hefty down payment of 10,000 Bells to begin work on your home. What a skunk!

10,000 Bells sounds like a lot, but it’s actually quite easy to earn that kind of money. In fact, Isabelle has already given you all the tips you need to start earning lots of Bells. Spend time collecting fruit and seashells, or put your newfound tools to use and dig up fossils, catch fish, or net some bugs. All of these can be sold for healthy Bells at Re-Tail. You’ll have 10,000 Bells in no time!

After you’ve hit your Bell goal, return to Nook’s Homes and speak with Tom Nook. He’s thrilled to relieve you of your Bells, and begins preparations to build your home right away by asking you what color you’d like your roof to be. After this small detail is decided, your home is ready to be built. Tom also informs you that he can update the exterior of your home in many different ways, and invites you to return to his shop anytime.

Congratulations, your new home is set to be built! It’ll take Tom a full day to complete the work, so you’ll be ready to move in tomorrow. We bet you can hardly wait!
