Can You Customize Clothing with Cyrus in Animal Crossing?
The short answer is no, you cannot customize clothing items with Cyrus in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While Cyrus, the adorable blue alpaca, is a master of furniture customization on Harv’s Island, his talents don’t extend to altering apparel. He focuses solely on transforming your furniture into unique masterpieces, leaving clothing customization to other methods within the game.
Understanding Cyrus’s Customization Capabilities
Cyrus’s primary function is to re-customize furniture. He can change a furniture’s color, pattern, or fabric design, offering suggestions to players. However, his customization options are limited to furniture items and do not include clothing. While you can bring almost any furniture item to him, not all items can be customized. Chairs, sofas, and TVs are some examples of acceptable furniture items.
Cyrus works on Harv’s Island, where he’ll customize the items for Bells instead of the Customization Kits which are required when you customize on your own workbench on your island. He offers access to all the available color and style variations within the game for a specific item.
How to Customize Clothing in Animal Crossing
Since Cyrus can’t help with clothing, you’ll need to explore other avenues:
1. Custom Design Pro Editor
To design your own clothing, you’ll need the “Custom Design Pro Editor” from the Nook Stop. It costs 800 Nook Miles. This unlocks the ability to create more detailed and intricate clothing designs.
2. Able Sisters Shop
The Able Sisters shop offers a wide range of clothing items, including some with different color variations.
3. Villager Gifts
Villagers will sometimes gift you clothing items. It’s important to remember that villagers will only wear new outfits if they like them. The outfit or item must adhere to the villager’s style or tastes.
4. Nook Shopping
The Nook Shopping app and catalog periodically offer unique clothing items for purchase.
