Animal Crossing’s new Night Owl Regulation doesn’t do much good

Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘big update fallen earlier than expected and while it presents tons of new things, there is one humble aspect that players are not entirely happy with: island ordinances and, to be precise, the new night owl.

Regulations, which were first introduced in New page, fundamentally change the way an island and its inhabitants function. They give you full freedom to customize the island’s basic functions, from waking up early to preventing weeds from showing up so often. A Few Things You Should Know About Regulations:

1. Each ordinance costs 20,000 bells to enact.
2. Only one can be in effect at a time.
3. They do not come into force until 6 a.m. the next day.

What are the ACNH Night Owl Prescription Times?

As you can probably guess from the name, the Night Owl Ordinance ensures that shops stay open longer and villagers go to sleep later. For example, the Able Sisters Shop is usually open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. According to the Night Owl Ordinance, the clothing and tailoring boutique is supposed to extend the shift of the store … which is technically the case. But according to various Twitter users, it only lasts for maybe an hour longer

. It’s an improvement, but it’s also kind of frustrating if you’ve played previous Animal Crossing games where regulation went beyond a measly extra hour.

So you are paying 20,000 bells – which is a lot, although the currency is easy to come by – for something that ultimately does almost nothing. And in Deer crossing

, Store opening hours are actually a bigger thing than you might expect as they reflect real time. For example, if you jump into the game at 11pm, you may have missed the opportunity to visit important stores that you wanted. It is likely that people will continue to change their switch’s clock to work around the problem.
