Choose Your Island Layout & Hemisphere
One of the first things you’re going to have to do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is choose the layout of your island.
Timmy and Tommy will give you four different layouts to choose from. Things like the river and building positions will vary between each of the four. There’s no right or wrong choice here, though, so just pick whichever one you’re happiest with.
After that, you’ll need to select what hemisphere your island is in. The north hemisphere will mean your island has more traditional seasons, so sunny hot summers and cold winters. Choosing the southern hemisphere will switch that so you’ll be having a toasty Christmas on the beach, just like Australia.
Again, this is a personal preference, but as someone who lives in the north hemisphere, I can’t imagine having a Christmas without snow!
