How to get ALL of the pillars and counters in Animal Crossing

I haven't been able to find details on how to get all of the pillars and counters (brick, marble, stone, etc) from the new Happy Home Paradise DLC. After binging the update, I finally figured it out and wanted to share. Enjoy!

Lifesaver xD

[@amanda-nm2rd]

you are a gift 😅🙏🏼

[@emmaraelyn]

thank you!!!

[@kelsielovesyou4]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ve done 40 homes trying to figure out how to get the other ones 😭 this is the only video I’ve seen talking about it!

[@AlexIsHere985]

IVE JUST DONE 40 HOMES TODAY AND THE BIN STILL SAYS THERES NO NEW NOTES, I TIME SKIPPED AND IT STILL DOESNT SO UP I THINK I GOT SOFT LOCKED 😭😭😭

[@LoveBugsBlissful]

I was also looking online, wondering how to get the other pillars. So thank you so much for the info, I really appreciate it.

[@allegrokl1096]

This was super helpful. I was wondering how people had nice pillars and counters and I just had the basic one! Good to know it’s not a “find the bottle” recipe

[@deadrunable]

I actually stopped time traveling for the DLC I've been to busy playing the day straight through designing houses. I had my 30 home celebration last night (it was epic) and this morning I was told about Nico needing materials so this would be day four for me. When I turned my game off tonight I was at 40... I can't stop. T_T I just figured out how to move my vacationers and change roommates and my venues are expanding and I'm so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content and how deep the decorating system is with personality types, hobbies, style preferences and oh yeah favorite colors.

[@princesscherry5217]

This definitely helped me out because I completely forgot about the Niko side quest until just now.

[@SkullDusk]

I'm not sure how far you have to get.. but at some point, you get an ABD that allows to to convert Poki into Bells.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I just got that today, and I believe it was at 20 homes, and just before designing the hospital.

[@minuner]

is it a 1 to 1 conversion?

[@SkullDusk]

@@minuner No, it changes from day to day. Sometimes 100 Poki will equal 300 Bells, and other days 100 Poki will equal 175 Bells.

[@rachelkerns86]

Right after hospital, can turn bells to poki as well as poki to bells. Very helpful

[@minuner]

@@SkullDusk whoaaaa

[@BearClaires]

I didn't even know there were different type of pillars and Counters. I was really upset when all I had was the wood ones since my house doesn't have any wood in it and I really like the pillars. Thanks 😊

[@tazy5670]

After completing about 20 homes (excluding the facilities) I was still not able to unlock the pillars and counters! I was so frustrated because I had time travelled back and forth and done all sorts but nothing seemed to work until I spoke to Leif and completed the lesson he was teaching about hybrid plants, I was so relieved to go to work the next day and speak to Niko about the DIY recipe for pillars and counters so give this a go if you are still not able to unlock the pillars and counters!

[@sophianance7962]

That exact same thing happend to me

[@sophianance7962]

I will try what you did and see if it works for me

[@GraceOswald5]

I’ve spoken to Leif and I still haven’t got it😢

[@meganmarzano7871]

I have done over 150 houses trying to figure this out, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@lucillafeliciano7760]

Thanks for this video. We didn't know that the yellow box was for Niko to give us new pillars and walls based on the materials we leave. I thought it was just one item that you can customize with kits.

[@bellaschneider5335]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! I was going nuts trying to find out where others were getting these ones from!!! You saved me from pulling my hair out!!! And Loooove your island btw!! Amazing 👏

[@dembonez19]

I'm at 24 houses and still haven't unlocked counters and pillars. Talked to Niko at the workshop table. Next day, nada. Following day, nada. Following day, nada. You get the pattern.

[@dembonez19]

If anyone else is experiencing this issue (which I'm sure is a bug considering Niko chats with most people the day after), I solved it by time traveling a few weeks ahead and then back again. To be honest, I don't consider it cheating if it fixes a bug, so even anti-TT'ers can give that a shot or risk not unlocking these until 2 weeks to a month later. I'm now back on my regular track.

[@SlaShWiFiBattles]

Same he hasn't given me anything

[@AndreaFooLOL]

Same!!! I was like when he gonna give me my diys?!?’

[@LOSTmyHOST]

Me too 😭

[@viictoi]

Can you give us the steps? Its a but confusing. Ive tried time traveling 2 weeks forward and he hasnt given me the recipe

[@nikkid7963]

Finally someone explained this! I’ve looked everywhere and couldn’t find how to unlock all of them!

[@pbfmv]

Idk how but I never got the trigger to talk to niko. I talked to him upstairs I think I’m on my 19 home and have not gotten that diy I have all the other achievements but that one

[@arisa2353]

thank you! I looked all over and couldn't find anything on how to get the variants. I've done almost 50 homes and have all the facilities unlocked, so I was so confused on how I would get them. I didnt know you have to keep checking nico's material chest over and over.

[@KartoonManagement]

Appreciate it! 💯

[@beckkybeckky]

Life saver, I completely forgot about poor Niko and his DIY desires 😞 thanks!

[@morgan9775]

I got the diys from niko at the school I have done over 30 vacation homes it still won’t let me put materials in the box please help

[@minicarrie]

THANK YOU! I had the same problem I had completely forgotten about Niko's crafting and really wanted the brick ones.

[@sandyoregon]

Dude thank you!! I have been scouring the internet for a step by step on how to do that! I totally forgot about giving Niko stuff! Thank you again!

[@SinnelEiram]

THANK YOU! I’ve been looking everywhere how to unlock these items and couldn’t find it anywhere

[@KA-eu9sy]

Thank you! HHP is truly about patience and discovery. I've done over 10 vaca homes and want to rush thru them....trying not to rush..tho. I can always go back and remodel.

[@viictoi]

If anyone has this problem; niko talking abt diys and the next day he DIDN’T give you a small school session in your newly built school, PLEASE HELP. I am on my 28th house and still have not gotten any other recipe than the partition wall… if you have any idea how to fix it please reply! Thxx

[@rDijDi]

Same problem. Tried time traveling but even that didn’t work.

[@viictoi]

@@rDijDi well, the options we have right now are to delete the dlc info and restart, or wait for a patch, or just give up lmao. Ill maybe wait for now but im going to play on my other acc

[@Lotte_Cupp]

This helped me out so much... it was driving me mad trying to figure this out!! TYSM!😁✨💕🎉

[@mollyrakoczi]

Thank you so much! I'm here in 2024 and I'm so glad this video exists! You're the real MVP!

[@belaralia]

Ahhh thank you so much! I got so caught up with designing homes that I forgot to check out Niko's requests!

[@LOADEDPISTOL]

Thank you I’ve (completed) it all (“completed” as the dlc never really finishes) but I completely forgot about the other tasks and was getting super frustrated on where to find them as this one girl who I used to get my pillars from on treasure islands hasn’t been streaming and idk her name and it’s very annoying so thank you for your help

[@gabriellebeavington4164]

Yes! Finally there's a video. I've also looked everywhere and I couldn't find even a little article. Thank you!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@NightOwl030]

This is very helpful. I think I am at 12 or 13 homes right now. Thank you so much! I can't wait to get the different counters and pillars!

[@melaniescribbles]

I have all of them unlocked and trust me: if you have a fully upgraded house to decorate on your own island, then they're definitely worth crafting. Without counters in particular, I really couldn't get my kitchen and indoor crafting area looking the way I intended them to look.

[@experience404able]

This video saved my life .. thank you so so much 💚

[@rsknxght]

Omg FINALLY!!! Someone answered this question that I’ve had for literally months!! This really helped tysm!

[@mrbananaa208]

Yup this is going on my Starter Pack playlist

[@leeannbruner9494]

thank you so much! I have been searching all over trying to figure this out!

[@grace.stewartt4224]

THATS WHAT THE DIY BOX IS FOR?! Omg!!!😭 Thank you ❤

[@mattseaotter8219]

Thank you for making this video I usually don't comment on videos but I couldn't fine any information

[@no_face_is_me1906]

Omg i just found this video thank you so much ive been trying to figure it out 😅

[@shelinabegum1016]

You made my day. I finally found out about a new recipe for a pillar. I been trying to figure it out but THANK YOUUUUUU

[@AbbyPhillipsIsPeaches]

Oh man! Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to get more than the same three basic wood pillar and counter colors! It's been so frustrating! I'm super excited to do this.

[@veranova5895]

If anyone's dumb enough to make the same mistake as I did, you have to leave the exact amount Niko asks for, I would leave 14 branches and 6 wood thinking as long as it covers what he asks for it would be fine and the next day Niko would never bring it up and I just kept leaving more and more materials. Finally put exactly 7 branches and 2 wood and finally got the text box that says "I've left all the materials for Niko!" 😮‍💨 never felt more dumb in my entire life😭😭 Thanks again for this video!!

[@daphanieaustin]

Could NOT find this information anywhere! You are a ROCKSTAR!!!

[@fionayarr9243]

Thank you!! Scoured the net for a long time until I saw your video. You helped me so much! There really is no other post about getting the pillar and partition color variations 😭

[@sarahfields288]

I like how your character expresses moods in Time with your narration.

[@jasonw6688]

Thanks for posting. I don't mind the spoilers; I'm just grateful for the help. ✌🏻😉 I see you've gotten much further on your new island too. Can't wait for the next livestream upload to see you working on it. 🤩

[@teonna72]

Thank u....thank u so much. I was beginning to get a headache trying to figure this craziness out...Ur a Saint 😊😘

[@MddieStorm]

What a homie. Ty for the vid I was going insane thinking I was gonna have to pop ballons

[@janel4429]

Unfortunately I wasn't getting these extra pullar and counter diys. I was still stuck with the basic wooden ones. Someone said in the comments to time travel 2 weeks into the future so that's what I did, and when I got to the office, it triggered the event that would allow me to drop off materials for Niko. So if anyone is struggling with getting different counters and pillars try time traveling a few weeks ahead.

[@Nancy-we1fr]

Omg thank you for this! I was looking everywhere to find an answer!

[@taylorharrison6607]

i’m so happy i found this video i was about to go crazy wanting the marble pillars

[@claudszr]

Omg thanks could not find the info anywhere either you’re a g

[@EvilEyesHaru]

Does anyone know if the fifteen homes you need to unlock the first counters/pillars includes Eloise? I had fifteen including her but I didn’t get the prompt for the pillars and counters. :(

[@angleeka]

hi, just wanted to let you know you’re not the only one experiencing this. at 15 homes i never unlocked the counters and pillars. i talked to people on reddit, one person said finishing the dlc and waiting a few days worked for them, i did that and it didn’t work. so far i haven’t gotten a solution and i checked everywhere. so i contacted nintendo about it, when i get an answer back i’ll let you know :)) this really sucks though cause i’ve seen so many design ideas i wanted try in my home and i literally cant cause it wont give me the counters and pillars :((

[@EvilEyesHaru]

@@angleeka that’s really rough. :( I was actually going to contact Nintendo but it apparently corrected itself. The next time I went to the archipelago I got the recipes. I hope yours gets fixed soon too!

[@angleeka]

@@EvilEyesHaru yayyy! i’m so happy it fixed for you:)) and thank you! i really hope mine fixes itself as well

[@EvilEyesHaru]

@@angleeka thank you! I hope it fixes for you as well!

[@yunerz]

I'm having your exact same issue. Hoping in a day or so it will correct itself as others have mentioned.

[@Businessman_Justin]

THANK YOU!!

[@ambyrogers6584]

thanks for sharing have been going nuts trying to figure out how to get the counters and panels.

[@KirstyBrownMBEG]

I’ve played loads more than my OH yet he has been asked to donate materials to Niko and I haven’t - wondered if maybe you have to craft the basic pillar/counters first?? I’m on home 25, think OH is on about 15 - neither of us TT. I’ve crafted the basics this morning so will update tomorrow. Fingers crossed!!

[@izzy9893]

i appreciate you SO much, ive been looking for ages

[@jillian8159]

I have about six homes left to fill and didn’t know about this, thanks for telling us while we all still had the time!

[@Jerrible]

OHHHH you KEEP giving him more materials, thank youuu I was wondering how to get the brick pillars 🥺🤩 (Also: what is the name of that reaction you did at the end of the video and howww do I get it?)

[@Zinger502]

Thank you so much! I was looking for this. 🙌🏻✨

[@ghirelje4364]

I've done 50 houses and still when I get to the box it just says "you could fit a lot of things in here" or something like that but doesn't let me open it. What am I doing wrong?

[@kristi2772]

I appreciate your short and to the point video! Thank you for the guide, I didn't know I had to wait until the following day. Your island is epic! 🤩 Wish I had your dream address. 💤

[@kkcamp02]

Thank you so much for this. You always come thru for us.

[@LydiaOfAragon64]

Tysm I’ve done tons of homes and gave up Bcs I wasn’t getting anywhere but I’ve dusted off my island again lol ✨✨

Omg THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ❤

finally i've been waiting for this details!!

[@candyyp7571]

Yes thanks! This is great finally i got an awnser! I meve rknew why the mirarials where needed for Niko kinda ignkred it ill do this now

[@janaball5049]

I just got the wood pillars and tried taking them to Cyrus, thinking he could customize them for me. Glad to know the actual way it's done.

[@TheGamingDistrict1]

I basically “finished” the DLC main quest (if you can call it that), and then gave him all the materials. It’s easy to miss if you’re focused on doing homes, since they don’t explicitly state it

[@atomic2968]

Thank you! 💖

[@meghanvarley1678]

So. I don’t know if this is 💯 accurate. I completed 30 houses and never got the additional pillars and counters request.

[@meghanvarley1678]

Solved: I did have to time travel ahead two weeks. So the game, while you can complete as many houses in a day, is set to trigger on real time.

[@framed3099]

This worked for me, thanks a ton!!

[@zombiepika3118]

Good to know, thanks!

[@viictoi]

@@meghanvarley1678 so do we just TT 2 weeks ahead? And will he start the diy school?

[@Ayan57679]

@meghanvarley1678 I had the exact same problem as you did, and traveled 2 weeks into the future, but I still got nothing? Is there something I’m missing? What do you mean as like it sets to trigger in real time please respond that would help my island so much 😭💗

[@wesleygarcia8363]

I was avoiding that DIY box thinking it wasn’t important until I saw other KZbinrs and my friends using concrete pillars when I created over 50 vacation homes, my friends ALL having near 25 built.

[@inchw0rm]

omg thank u! im 60+ houses in wondering why i didnt have these yet hahaha

[@NixussNightfall]

I have done 20+ homes and Niko has not asked me to go to the school 🤣😂😭

Thanks! That’s really helped me out.

Thank you for explaining this!

So freaking helpful!!!! Thank you!!!

Is there a way to get any counter-like items without the DLC? I’m making my house a little cafe and don’t have it. So I need something to put my stuff on, any advice?

Ive unlocked the wooden pillars, but i vant seem to unlock the other ones. Everytime i try to click on the yellow box it just says "Looks like you can fit a lot of stuff in this box". Is anyone else having this problem as well?

[@rDijDi]

Just unlocked soundscapes and still haven’t gotten the diys for pillar or countertops yet. Not sure what to do but it seems that others are having the same issue as well. Anyone figured out how to fix this bug?

CORD! Please post a video on how to build the simple panel buildings. My mind goes numb when i get it started

[@megnuggets83]

I never time traveled when I did all the homes and I never got the pillar recipe and I was never told to get Niko materials. Even on my old island, I did get the pillar recipe, but I was never told to give him materials either. Idk what’s going on and I did all 30 homes already, too.

[@lilalovesu3373]

ur a life saver

[@safanakha1227]

TYYSMMM

[@CLyons6]

THANK YOU.

[@satsuma0range]

Thanks for the information! Does it drive anyone crazy that the counter width doesn't line up with the pillar width?? And you can't even center it? Whyyyy 😢

[@lealou1092]

Thank you

[@eliseliu5688]

I finished 30 homes yesterday without time traveling, and just got the first request for materials for Niko. I think maybe it has to do with how often you've used the pillar and counter functionality vs. How many days in game or how many homes?

[@LunarFox91]

i got to 30 as well yesterday but i use the pillars a lot in my builds and didn't get nikos material request til yesturday either. weird

[@ajpdeschenes]

I've bought the DLC only for the pillars and counter tops, and after 17 houses, I haven't received the DIYs from Niko. I just don't know what to do and this is really frustrating.

[@colleenfrances]

Awesome thank you!

[@samwells370]

OHHHHHH Thank you

[@johnminet9067]

Thanks for that video, I returned after a year and I cannot workout where is the bloodie potion and pillar etc… no one video talk about it thanks SO much
