How To Unlock Sanrio Villagers & Items?
To invite villagers and order associated furniture and clothing in Animal Crossing simply scan the Sanrio Amiibo cards on your Nintendo Switch. Each unlocking corresponds to the six different cards.
You can scan the cards at Noot Stop Terminal with Invite Amiibo Camper in Resident Service or at the Photopia on Harvey’s Island. After unlocking, you can purchase the items via the Promotion tab in Nook Shopping at any given period for Bells. However, you can unlock only 5 items daily.
To invite Sanrio villagers to your island permanently go to the campsite once the cards are scanned and astonish them by crafting items in three days.
