On the bright side, you can keep the items in your mailbox until you need them to save on storage space.

• Introducing Brewster's café, the Roost!
  Head to this quiet corner of the Museum to sit down with a cup of coffee and relax. Brewster will open the Roost after you've completed a certain favor for Blather's. You may even run into some island residents here, too. If you use the amiibo phone inside the café, you can invite other characters to join you by using compatible amiibo cards. If you’d like, you can even invite friends to your island and bring them to the Roost to enjoy relaxing cups of joe together.
  
• Visit mysterious new islands with Kapp'n.
  Take a boat tour with Kapp'n by finding him waiting down at the pier. During the trip he'll serenade you with sea shanties, and when you arrive at your destination you may find it has a different time of day or season to your home island, or it may even contain new flora that hasn't been seen before!
  
• Put together a tune with gyroids.
  Something new is waiting to be unearthed on your island. Dig in the designated spots and you may find a gyroid instead of a fossil! Use them to put together tunes with their unique sounds and customize them to match their surroundings.
  
• A market is coming to Harv's Island!
  Hate having to wait for the stores that inhabit your island plaza to come and visit? Are you wondering if you'll ever actually see Redd again? Wait and wonder no more because a market is coming to Harv's Island! Contribute Bells to the cause and familiar visitors on your island like Redd (who am I kidding this guy isn't familiar at all), Saharah and Kicks will have shops here now, and Reese & Cyrus’s shop will offer furniture customization that can’t be done through DIY workbenches. At Katrina’s shop, she’ll look at your fortune of the day, and Harriet can even teach you some different hair styles!
  
• Cook up new foods!
  Grow your own vegetables and use them to cook up brand new food items that you can use to decorate your kitchen or consume them to get a considerable number of strength points compared to eating the fruit that grows on your trees. You'll be able to grow tomatoes, wheat, sugarcane, potatoes and carrots to cook with!
  
• Decorate your house with new furniture and features!
  Jealous of those ceiling light's Brewster has in the Roost? Wish you didn't need to put that coffee table so far from the couch so you can still use the couch? Perhaps you'd like to divide a room up into more distinct sections? All your questions and concerns will be answered with the new decoration updates coming to interior spaces! You can now hang ceiling lights, erect dividing walls and pillars, and your villager can now squeeze into tight spaces. Check the video to really appreciate these new additions.
  
• Further support for island life.
  Nook, Inc. will offer further support for your island life. From group stretching at the plaza and bigger home storage, to the Resident Representative being able to establish ordinances like reducing the rate at which weeds grow or making all the residents get up early in the morning, there are more options to help you enjoy and adjust the island to fit your lifestyle.
  

• Work with Lottie as a member of the Paradise Planning team.
  Clients with different dream vacation requests will visit a new resort area located in an archipelago, made up of several different islands, where the Paradise Planning team is located. You can talk to a client and find out the details of their requests for a vacation home, and then make their dreams happen!
  
• Design dream vacation homes.
  After choosing a location for your clients’ dream vacation home, you can design the interior where you’ll place designated furniture that was delivered ahead of time. As you continue designing vacation homes, you'll acquire various design techniques, from changing how the home is structured by adding partition walls and pillars to divide the space, to adding counters, ambient lighting and soundscapes to add depth to the room design, and more. The vacation home themes vary depending on the client, and many requests await your expertise. You can also decorate the exterior yard.
  
• Make remodeling and roommate recommendations.
  As you gain experience as a designer, more furniture will become available, and you’ll also be able to make more suggestions. These include recommendations like remodeling the vacation homes of clients you’ve helped previously with different furniture, or even recommending that two clients share a room together as roommates.
  
• Design facilities such as schools and restaurants.
  There are several vacant buildings on the island where Lottie’s Paradise Planning team is located. Lottie wants to make this island more robust and developed, so you’ll be able to help design facilities such as a school, restaurant and café.
  
• Get inspiration from the Happy Home Network.
  Capture photos of the vacation homes you design and save them to your catalog, which you can check out through the in-game Happy Home Network app in your NookPhone. From this app, you can also access the Showroom to view the building examples of designers from all over the world who have posted their creations online. You can follow the designers you like and view their samples for inspiration.
  
• Use amiibo to invite more clients.
  Usually your job is to look for clients on the resort who may be considering having their own vacation home, but if you use the current Animal Crossing series amiibo accessories, you can invite a specific client to discuss their vacation home. With amiibo, you can even design the vacation homes of busy individuals like Isabelle and Timmy & Tommy!
  
• Bring your techniques back to the main island.
  Techniques you’ve obtained through your work on the Paradise Planning team can also be used on your home island. Perhaps this will be a great opportunity for you to overhaul the design of your own home. And if you give island residents souvenir chocolate from Paradise Planning as a gift, they may become interested in what the archipelagos and vacation homes have to offer. Then, one day when you become a veteran designer with lots of experience, you will eventually be able to remodel residents’ homes on your island by making suggestions to them, too!

Are the new villagers only available with the DLC? I thought those would've been added for free since isn't there a feature where you can offer your villager to another player? My mind is foggy on it but I recall it slightly because everyone kept trying to sell off that one super popular cat villager.

Have you still been playing this game @queenzelda or did you drop off of it too at some point prior to this recent Direct?
