If you have downloaded the Happy Home Paradise DLC and unlocked the ability to remodel resident homes on your island by talking to Tom Nook at Resident Services, you may experience gameplay issues if you request to remodel a resident’s home while the gates at your airport are open.

If the bug occurs, there will be no impact on other players who were visiting your island, or on the save data for the game such as the island or residents.
Any changes made while remodelling an island resident’s home will take effect from the next day. If you make a new request then the home will be successfully remodelled.
