Animal Crossing: New Horizons can’t compete with better decorating games anymore

When Nintendo announced a hotel you can decorate in Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0, I was excited by the prospect. Yes, it was essentially the same as the Happy Home Designer add-on available for Switch Online subscribers, but collecting furniture and designing rooms is why I’ve stuck with Animal Crossing for more than 20 years. Then I played the 3.0 update and realized I’m more than happy to leave it behind, at least until Nintendo makes meaningful changes.
