EnglishAre the guides and tools on ACNH.Directory official or community-run?
Updated
They are community-run. ACNH.Directory describes itself as a comprehensive list of community-run guides, tools, and apps for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Nothing on the directory is published or endorsed by Nintendo, and the site does not present itself as an official source. That distinction matters less for casual browsing and more when you rely on a tool for save data, trading, or anything you can't easily undo.
What "community-run" means in practice
The directory is a list, not a publisher. It points to guides, tools, and apps made by individual players, fan sites, and small teams. Those creators — not ACNH.Directory and not Nintendo — are responsible for:
- Whether the content is accurate or still up to date
- Whether a tool or app still works, or has been abandoned
- How the site or app handles your data, accounts, or login
- Whether anything you download is safe
So the directory answers "where can I find X?" It does not vouch for the answer.
What this means for you
| Consideration | What to check |
|---|---|
| Game version | Guides written before a major update may describe mechanics, items, or events that have since changed |
| Tool status | A listed app may be unmaintained; check when it was last updated before investing time in it |
| Account and data | Community tools sometimes ask for login or save access — decide whether that's a trade you're willing to make |
| Safety | Treat downloads and unfamiliar links the way you would anywhere else online |
None of this makes community resources worse than official ones. Fan-made tools often do things no official app does. It just means the quality bar varies from one listing to the next, and you're the one applying it.
A reasonable way to use the directory
- Find the guide, tool, or app that matches your task.
- Check who made it and when it was last updated.
- Confirm it fits your game version and what you're actually trying to do.
- If it asks for login, save access, or a download, pause and decide whether the benefit is worth it.
If a resource turns out to be outdated or broken, that's a normal outcome of a community list — move on to another entry rather than assuming you did something wrong.
