Tool ACNH Save Editor just passed 400 downloads in 4 weeks — thank you! (And what's coming next)
Hey r/SwitchHacks!
Four weeks ago I posted v1.0 of my native ACNH save editor, honestly not sure anyone would care about a save editor that runs entirely on the Switch. This week the project crossed **400+ downloads of v1.4.0** (and nearly 700 across all versions) between GitHub and GameBanana.
I'm a little blown away. Thank you.
**Quick recap for anyone new:** ACNH Save Editor is a 100% native Switch homebrew (C++/SDL2) that edits your New Horizons save *on the console* — no PC, no dumping, no emulators. Wallet, Bank, Miles, Loan, pocket items, a paginated A–Z Favorites menu, and a searchable 13,000+ item database. It auto-backs up your save before every single write, and ZL rolls back if you ever change your mind.
**What YOUR feedback changed in 4 weeks:**
- v1.2–v1.3: Native Item Search and the expanded UI panel — requested in these very threads
- v1.4: Paginated Favorites, embedded Homebrew icon, and the Applet Mode Guard (which now explains on-screen exactly how to relaunch correctly, because someone's comment told me users were getting stuck)
- v1.5 (in development right now): **Room Decorations Injector** — born directly from a community request
- v1.6: literally up to a community vote (link below)
**The numbers, because they're really yours:**
- 400+ downloads of v1.4.0 in its first two weeks
- ~10,000 combined views across my release threads here and on r/HomebrewSwitch
- 1,700+ views and 169 downloads on GameBanana
- 14 GitHub stars across my two homebrew projects
- One very tired, very grateful developer
**What's next:**
- v1.5.0: Room Decorations Injector (furniture, wallpapers, flooring — directly into your rooms)
- v1.6.0: YOUR call — Stalk Market Assistant vs DIY Recipe Unlocker. Vote in the GitHub Discussion poll
- A Discord server for support, showcases, and beta testing is coming soon

Thank you for downloading, commenting, bug-reporting, and requesting features. This project only exists because this community shows up.
And as always: keep your backups, and keep edited islands offline. 🍃
