Fixed an issue where Luna would repeat the explanation related to the “Search by island name.” option over again. Fixed an issue where island residents would wear custom designs as a different pattern type than how the custom design was displayed in the tailor shop. Fixed an issue where an island resident visiting a player’s home would remain in the player’s home after the player used the Room Sketch app, the Happy Home Network app, or the Custom Designs Portal during the visit.

Other adjustments and corrections were made to improve the game play experience.
