Animal Crossing New Leaf Qr Codes How To Download

In the 3DS game Animal Crossing: New Leaf, however, there's even an option for those of us without any artistic talent.

With the new QR code reader, found in The Able Sisters shop, you can immediately import textures and textiles from other, more talented villagers.

The creator of iOS app QR MyDesign Assistant has borrowed this handy new feature to help you turn any photograph or image into an Animal Crossing-compatible code. Here's how to use it in a few easy steps.

Hat tip to Tiny Cartridge for finding the app.

Download the free iPhone app QR MyDesign Assistant. You can get it on the App Store here. It isn't made for the iPad, but it still works as intended on a tablet.
Choose the 'Convert' tab at the bottom of the screen, then hit the 'Pick' button in the top-right corner.You can choose 'MyDesign' to make a floor, sign, or item of clothing. Or you can choose 'Board' to make a custom face cutout standee.
Choose a picture from your iOS photo library. Simple and clear images with not many colours work best. You can then crop the image to import just a specific part of the picture.
Here's what it will look like in the game. You can give it a name, and then hit 'to QR' to see your code.Get the code up on the screen of your phone, and then dig out your 3DS.
Load up Animal Crossing: New Leaf, head to Main Street, and enter the Able Sisters clothes shop.Now, to gain access to the QR code reader (a.k.a. the sewing machine), you'll need to have befriended Sable. This means talking to her every day for about a week or two (to finally coax her out of her shyness).Once Sable becomes your pal, you'll see a big old machine in the back of the room (like in the screenshot above).
Done that? Okay, cool. Use the machine and choose 'Read a QR Code'. You'll also need to choose a spot in your texture library to save the custom design.Then, point the 3DS camera at your phone, and line the QR code up with the frame.
And you're done. You'll now have your photo in your design library, and can use it wherever you want.Here, I've stuck a photo of Mario on my town flag. Because why the bloody hell not.

Whether it be memes, music album covers, or celebrity faces, you can import nearly anything you can think of by scanning QR codes.

Before we start, you will need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription in order to do this. It’s roughly $20/year for a yearly individual membership. You can visit the Nintendo Switch Online Pricing Plans to learn more about that.

Step 1 – Pull up your Nook Phone

Once you have your Nook Phone open, you will want to open up the Custom Designs app, which is the middle icon.

Step 2 – Open Custom Designs App

This page will contain all of your custom designs in New Horizons. After you do that, grab your phone and download the Nintendo Switch Online App.

Step 3 – Download Nintendo Switch Online App

You can download this on your mobile phone, tablet, or any type of mobile device you have available with a camera. This is what we’ll be using to scan QR codes.

Step 4 – Get Another Device to Scan QR Codes From

Next, you will need a THIRD device to pull up the QR codes on, such as a computer, tablet, or any other device with a web browser. The camera will need to be pointed at this third device in order to scan the QR code.

Step 5 – Open the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Page on Nintendo Switch Online App

Go back to your phone and sign into the Nintendo Switch Online App. Navigate to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons page inside the app. This will open up NookLink. From here you can view your passport, create designs, view your friends, and do other various things.

  • Important note – If you are having issues with this step, you will need to activate NookLink on your game first. Go to the home screen and on the bottom left of the screen you will see a “-” sign. Click that to activate the NookLink. You will then need to reset the Nintendo Switch Online app on your phone after you enable this feature on your Switch.

Step 9 – Display Your New Design

You can now display the imported custom design. Display it on the ground, in your house, on your t-shirt, or wherever you want.

Clothing Items

Scanning clothing QR codes is the same way, except there will be four QR codes instead of one. After you scan the first QR code, a screen will pop up with four different QR codes to scan (shown below).

These are all the necessary steps you need to follow to scan QR codes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It is a bit of a long process, unfortunately, but it does get easier once you memorize how to do it. Hopefully, this has helped.
