Many of us were rocked by the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 update dropping a whole two days early. There’s a lot to do on your island, from taking photos with the new Pro Camera to seeing old friends. But one of the update features requires nothing of you except opening your heart, being a good host, and trying not to get weirded out. That’s right, I’m talking about villager visits to your New Horizons home — an anticipated feature that many of us got to try out right away.
And I mean right away. Many of us have already had our first villager visits, and we enjoyed all of the joy (and sass) these visits had to offer. Aside from checking out the space and catching up with you, here are a few of the things your villager might do when they invite themselves into your home.

If you have a portrait of any of your villagers hanging in your home, they’ll admire and appreciate it — or perhaps be a little bashful, depending on their personality. It’s a nice touch that brings the friendship full circle, and it finally gives players a chance to know that their villagers appreciate the love.
Look at the wealth of seating options — then sit on the floor

You decorated your home to the nines and cinched that A+ Happy Home Academy rating. But guess what? Your villager doesn’t care! All they want to do is see you and hang out where you’re hanging out, and they’ll sit wherever they want to, when they do. This includes cozying up on the floor.

If you, like me, have been a little negligent towards your island in the lead-up to this update, you might get this special treat. If your villager visits and encounters a cockroach, they just might make an immediate beeline out the door. I can’t blame them. I wouldn’t want to be in a cockroach-infested home either. Still, it’s a debilitating blow for anyone who had been waiting for this day — only to have their villager visit and then turn tail.
Play a cute card game

When a villager visits, they try not to overstay their welcome — they’ll tell you they plan to head out before going out the front door. But there are additional dialogue options that let you invite them to stay longer, or even play a little high-low card game to pass the time.
Give you a photo of themselves
OMG- Raymond told me he wanted to visit my house so the game took us there. When I spoke to him, he immediately gave me his photo! It’s my first ever one and I can’t wait to collect more :’) (Don’t mind the trashy living room btw-) from

What kind of guest shows up to your home unannounced, then gives you a photo of their face? Only your Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers could get away with that! (And we love them for it.)
