The Latest Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update Has Removed Harv's Hacked Fences - Nintendo Life

"Goodbye my fav hacked item".

Yesterday, Nintendo rolled out version 1.5.0 of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and while the main purpose of this update was to add some spooky seasonal content in time for Halloween, it seems to have also removed certain hacked items?

One item, in particular, that's gone missing since this update is a hacked fence - the same fence that appears on Harv's Island, Photopia?

For some time though, hackers have been distributing stacks of this fence to other players - allowing them to place them around their own islands.

As of the latest update, it appears these days are over.

There are many players over on social media now mourning the loss of their hacked fences, like the one above.

Have you downloaded the latest update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

This kind of hacking, in Animal Crossing of all games, is the epitome of benign.

What Nintendo should be learning from this is that people like that fence; if they don't want people hacking it in, why not make it craftable!

Hacking on Animal Crossing harms literally nobody.

It’s your island, do whatever you want with it.

People should be glad that all Nintendo did was to remove the hacked items.

I guess the problem is that people are effectively selling hacks for real life money.

I would see let culture have a Life onto itself and if an item takes on a 'movement' and becomes a craze then make it a craft item.

I'm still reeling from the star trees debacle so I figured I would avoid the hacked items for now as there's always the chance they could get patched out.

I had hacked items all over my island knowing there was a chance Nintendo might patch them out someday but it still totally sucks now that they're gone, they were such cute additions, I feel punished even though I wasn't hurting anybody by having them.

I think the DLC, while cute, has been a little lacking and hacked items were keeping me interested more than diving or wedding photos ever were.

Those people surely are lucky that their accounts still working.

If I would be in charge, each account with hacked items would be perma-banned.

Just like in real life.

Even the tens of thousands of people who got them in trades with strangers while not knowing what they were?

And why do you care so much to punish people who want to play a single player game however they want.

Games and anime have always been a escape from real life for me.

Also selling items to others with real money?

When an update comes, and Nintendo detected you have a hacked item and remove them, who gets affected

Imagine if Nintendo put as much effort into adding QoL improvements to the game that people want

There’s no competitive element to Animal Crossing, no winners and losers

Just don’t trade with strangers either, I literally haven’t been anywhere near the trading scene and I feel I’m playing the game and getting the same enjoyment out of it

Why isn't there this much snotty outcry from other single player game fanbases

I don't remember anyone whining about people modding Skyrim

In fact Bethesda celebrates its modding community and it's added so much life to the game that people still play it to this day

Yet people add stars to trees in THIS game and look at all the toddlers who have to ruin that simple joy for everyone

You have to actively seek out and engage with trades in this game, it’s far easier to buy MTX in 99% of games
