How to change to the Northern Hemisphere in Animal Crossing
Switching hemispheres in Animal Crossing isn't as straightforward as a menu option. You actually can't change the hemisphere once you've selected it at the beginning of your game. If you're really committed to making the switch, you'd have to start your game over. When you're setting up your island for the first time, Tom Nook will ask if you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. Choose wisely!

Nope, can't do it after you've started your game. It's a one-time choice, so make sure you pick the right hemisphere when you first set up your island!
Had to learn this the hard way - you can't switch hemispheres without restarting your game. I tried looking for a workaround when I realized I wanted different seasonal events, but no luck. Starting over was worth it for me though!
