Animal Crossing: New Horizon comes with a variety of new features. However, its ability to scan QR codes of designs that were created through the New Leaf or Happy Home Designer is one of the widely used functions. With the help of these codes, one can import any custom clothing design into the actual game. In addition, it allows you to import other players’ designs as well, as long as you have a QR code.
