Feng Shui and HRA Score Guide

HRA scores are based on several factors, which are outlined in this guide. All items in your house contribute to your HRA score, but there are ways to boost your score. The total score is calculated by adding basic points to bonus points and then subtracting penalty points.

Feng Shui, in Animal Crossing, means organizing items of certain colors inside your house in order to increase your luck in the game, and also give you a HRA bonus.

A basic rule is to make sure your furniture is organized based on common sense - don't face wardrobes toward the wall, make sure you can access chairs and beds, etc. Basically, set your room up properly and don't just dump stuff anywhere.

You will lose points if you do not follow these rules, as follows:

• -1 per item left on the floor (wallpapers, carpets, mushrooms, turnips, Party Popper, candy, Bubble Wand, Chocolate Heart, etc)
• -100 per item with inappropriate orientation - e.g. facing the wall

Also, make sure you don't have any cockroaches - if you don't go into your house for a while, you will have cockroaches, just run over them to kill them.

The rules of Feng Shui in Animal Crossing are simple.

• Place yellow items against the west wall
• Place red items against the east wall
• Place green items against the south wall

Having your feng shui correct will increase your luck with bells and items in the game, and give you a HRA bonus of 100 points x color count for properly placed items.

Completing furniture sets will give you a large boost to your HRA score.

Series and Themes have matching wallpapers and carpets, and you can only get points for one Series or Theme per room.

Sets are smaller and can be added to any rooms to gain HRA points.

Each room in your house is marked separately, so you can have different series and themes in different rooms.

Note: On HTA, when viewing an item set, the “set type” will tell you if it is a Series, Theme or Set. Other HTA set types do not count towards HRA points. However, complete dinosaur and gyroid sets do count as sets.

Furniture series consist of 10 pieces of furniture, plus a wallpaper and carpet.

When you have all 10 pieces of furniture in the series, you will receive bonuses as follows:

• 20,000 points for entire series (10 pieces)
• 25,000 points for entire series, plus either matching wallpaper or matching carpet
• 30,000 points for entire series, plus both matching wallpaper and matching carpet

Furniture themes are easier to score points with than series. Having a theme's wallpaper and carpet will earn you points, and then any items from that theme will gain you more points, as follows:

• 3,000 points for a theme's wallpaper and carpet (matching)
• 3,000 points for each item in that theme which is in that room
• 3,000 points bonus for wallpaper, carpet and complete theme

Sets consist of matching items and do not have a matching wallpaper and carpet. They can be put in any room. Bonus points as follows:

• 1,000 points for each item in a completed set

If you do not have a full series, you will still get some bonus points by making sure you have one of each of these types of furniture in a room - bed, chair, table, dresser, and wardrobe.

If you have all the “Daily Necessities”, you will get these bonus points:

• All from the same series: 5,000 points
• From different series: 1,000 points
