NHSE is a free PC-based save editor for Animal Crossing: New Horizons savedata dumped from a Nintendo Switch. It edits a save file that you provide; it does not dump, extract, or import save data from the console. Its item editor can view, set, delete, and clone items, and change values in Pocket, Storage, and other item locations. For DIY recipe items, another selection lets you choose the recipe the item teaches. Flower data includes breeding genes and watering details, including whether a golden tool was used. NHSE is written in C# and its repository identifies the license as GPL-3.0. Windows is the listed supported platform, while the wiki says it is designed to run on Mac and Linux using Mono or Wine. The executable does not include item sprites, so users must obtain them and provide them in an items folder. The repository asks users to act responsibly and says it does not support cheating at others' expense.
Who it is for
NHSE suits Animal Crossing: New Horizons players who already have a dumped save file and want to edit item or flower data on a PC. Mac and Linux users may also consider it, though those platforms are described as supported through Mono or Wine rather than listed as supported platforms.
