A bug that could see clouds messed up on Switch 2 has been banished, too

A fresh Animal Crossing: New Horizons patch is here, bringing some bug fixes to Nintendo's coziest life sim in the aftermath of its recent 3.0 update and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons version 3.01 rolled out yesterday (thanks, The Gamer), with some fixes applying to both versions of the game while others are Switch 2 exclusive.

I'm not sure who out there might have been trying to duplicate fences, but if that's you, I have some bad news: "Fixed an issue where, when asking Resetti to clean up the island, fences that were put away or in storage could change into different customizations or be duplicated, and some cleaned-up items could disappear," the patch notes state.

Otherwise, "an issue where the game would run slower than normal after exiting the island hotel to an outdoor area" has been fixed, along with a bug "where, after playing with another player on a slumber island, home remodeling or relocation could become unavailable on the slumber island."

Items can no longer break free from rocks before they're actually hit with a shovel, and perhaps most amusingly, shopkeepers Timmy and Tommy – who, after the 3.0 update, could "sometimes stop following the player inside Nook's Cranny" – will go back to giving you precisely zero personal space while browsing their wares. They're going to watch your every move, and you're gonna like it.
