Today, it's been 2 weeks since i've started collecting #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons 
houses on my account @TootataACHouses. I was slightly expecting to be bored of it after 5 to 10 days, but it's still very fun to search and see what crazy things people are making!

I'm trying hard to share varied pictures of different kinds, and to highlight both really clean & clever houses and houses that were decorated just for the fun of it. Here are six things i love about how people are playing within AC's rules to make nice houses:
1. Theme
Many people want to build their rooms around specific themes: we've had seasonal events rooms full of eggs or sakura furniture, greenhouse rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, music studios, garages... or this onsen: https://twitter.com/krispiotrowski/status/1248059516530372610

2. Fanart
Some rooms are made around the theme of a book, movie, series or any cultural work. This leads people to find & set up furniture according to what objects they find relevant to the spirit of the original work, like this Twin Peaks Black Lodge: https://twitter.com/konjak/status/1245070654669348864

3. Subverting the themes
Sometimes it's nice to have a "cozy room full of wooden furniture", or a "rooms with plants & forest stuff"; but it can be more fun to subvert the expectations and have multiple themes at once, as in this "mysterious gains forest"! https://twitter.com/HappyLittleImp/status/1248358625023688705

4. Attention to details
Animal Crossing is a video game in which player characters don't *need* to drink, read books or have an oven. But people are gatheering those objects nonetheless and faithfully recreating real-life interior with a lovely precision: https://twitter.com/2pHtmDBzjlvyUxo/status/1244645487866548226

5. Weirdness
Animal Crossing is a video game in which player character don't *need* to drink, read books or have an oven, so why not messing around and create interesting, funny, weird, over-the-top objects combinations? https://twitter.com/philippawarr/status/1247294078900936704

6. Custom designs
Players are going WILD with custom designs, remaking Hokusai's Great wave, videogames sprites, album art from their favourite bands; or making new art directly in Animal Crossing. See for example illustrator Stephanie Unger's exhibition: https://twitter.com/tigershungry/status/1244211513319194624

At time of writing this, there are more than 200 different houses at @TootataACHouses, and i definitely plan on keeping looking for new, interesting ones. It's very fun and inspiring, both in-game and outside of it.
I hope you liked this small analysis, keep making good stuff! <3
