Changing the Weather and Time of Day in Happy Home Paradise

First off, do note that you can only change the weather and seasons on the archipelago, and not on your main island. This will allow you to set the perfect mood for the dream home that you’re trying to design, and may also win you points with your clients if it matches the vision they had in mind.

While you’re picking out a new location for your client’s home, you can press the X button to cycle through the seasons for each little island. Do note that some islands have peak seasons, which means that they tend to do well or be a better match with a particular season than others.

Once you’ve picked a location, you enter decorating mode. From here, you can press left on the d-pad to make any further adjustments to the season if you’d like, and even change the weather and time of day.
