Do You Need Nintendo Online for Animal Crossing Custom Designs?
Nope, you don't technically need Nintendo Online to enjoy custom designs in Animal Crossing. You can create your own designs or scan QR codes from the internet with just your in-game NookPhone. However, to download designs directly from the Able Sisters' shop using creator codes or to share your own masterpieces with the world, you'll need that Nintendo Online subscription. So, it depends on how social you wanna be with your designs!

You absolutely need Nintendo Online if you're serious about diving deep into the world of custom designs in Animal Crossing. Yeah, you can make your own or use QR codes without it, but that's like having a gourmet kitchen and only making microwave meals. Get the subscription and experience the full buffet of creativity from creators all around the globe!
Don't bother with Nintendo Online if all you wanna do is dabble in custom designs. QR codes and your own creativity can fill that void just fine.
I've been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons since launch day, and while I initially resisted getting Nintendo Online, I caved and got it for the custom designs. Best decision ever. The community's creativity is mind-blowing, and sharing my designs has connected me with awesome people. It's worth it if you're into that aspect of the game.
