Since the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Happy Home Paradise DLC, villagers are sporadically running around butt-naked.
For whatever reason, the café and store areas of the DLC became a small nudist colony, with the cutesy denizens walking about without any clothes. It turns out this was due to a glitch specifically involving custom clothing. In some patch notes for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo listed perhaps the funniest bug fix in the history of video games.
“Fixed an issue where facility members wearing clothing that uses Custom Designs appear to not be wearing any clothing,” Nintendo Support said. Imagine some poor community manager having to type that out in the most harmless way possible, beads of sweat pouring down their brow as they try not to burst out laughing.
If you would like to see some examples of the glitch in question, check out the tweets below. It’s all safe for work, by the way. The glitch mostly makes villagers look like stuffed animals, if anything.

The Animal Crossing community had fun with this one. They always do, though. Recently, a dedicated fan recreated Spirited Away’s train scene in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to glorious success.
