Do I need to buy the DLC for the other profiles on a single Switch?

No. Only one person needs to own the DLC for it to be available for every profile on the same Switch, as long as the Switch is the primary device for the Nintendo account that purchased it.

Will the HHP island be shared with other profiles on the same Switch?

No, each profile will get their own instance of HHP. Progression is not shared between profiles.

Is there a limit to how many houses you can design?

The limit is quite literally how many villagers there are in the game currently. You are able to create vacation homes for all 413 villagers and all the special NPCs, e.g. Isabelle, Pascal, Flick, etc.

How do I kick clients out of HHP?

You cannot, this is by design. It is intended that you build vacation homes for all available villagers ingame.

What happens to my villager if I invite them with souvenir chocolate?

You will invite a “copy” of the villager to Paradise Planning. Your original villager will be intact.

Yes, speak to the client you wish to ask to leave. They will then ask for you to build a vacation home for them if they do not already have one.

Can I remodel or change the name of any of the facilities I’ve built?

Yes, speak to Lottie about facilities and she will guide you through the process. You are prompted to either retain the name or change it once you’re done remodelling.

How do I change the staff working at the facilities?

Press when you are at the facility you wish to change the staff of. This is also where you can change their outfits.
