Now that you have acquired the DLC itself and downloaded it, you can now begin to play through the experience. Firstly, open up Animal Crossing: New Horizons and when the game boots up, exit your character home and you’ll receive a call from Tom Nook who suspiciously is asking you to go to the airport and meet another character.

Begin making your way to the airport on the island and you’ll meet the character ‘Lottie’ who has now hired you as an employee of the ‘Paradise Planning Team’. In order to start the DLC fully, you will first have to visit the headquarters of the team and this can be reached by talking to Orville in the airport and choosing the ‘I want to go to work’ dialogue option.

After which, your character will be transported to the Paradise Planning islands/headquarters and you can now start decorating the vacation homes for your clients and simply enjoy the atmosphere of the tropic islands.
