Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update Removes Hacked Items

By Marc Deschamps - September 30, 2020 07:55 pm EDT

Yesterday saw the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons' 1.5.0 update on Nintendo Switch, bringing with it a slew of new items and activities for the Halloween season. While the update has added plenty of new, it also seems to have removed some things; namely hacked items. Players are reporting that hacked items like Harv's Fence disappeared from their islands following the update. Across social media, players have shared their disappointment over the removal. At this time, it does not seem that Nintendo has any plans to offer these items in a legitimate way, but fans are hoping for one now more than ever.

It's a bittersweet update, for some.

Nintendo took away our harv’s fences, but gave us pumpkins, Nintendo took away Brewster, and gave us Jack. Nintendo took away Katrina and gave us a joy con thingy. I‘d say we are overpaying 🤷‍♀️

dont hurt me 🤭💕

The removal is causing issues on some islands.

So did anyone else have an insane amount of Harv’s fence all around their island and now their island is such a massive dump too? 😩

Fans are hoping for a legitimate method.

Ok there’s a possibility that they could add the fence from Harv’s island to the games as a real item/usable fence,, at least I hope so. Because it’s so pretty TT
