NHSE
What it is
NHSE is a save editor for Animal Crossing: New Horizons savedata that has already been dumped from a Nintendo Switch. It runs on a PC and requires users to provide their own save file; it does not extract, dump, or import data from the console. Its item editor can view, set, delete, and clone items, and edit values in Pocket, Storage, and other item locations. Items default to a quantity of one, while stackable items use a count for additional units. A DIY recipe item has a separate selection for the recipe it teaches. Flower data includes breeding genes and watering flags and values, including whether a golden tool was used. Item sprites are not included with the executable, so users must obtain them and supply an items folder. Windows is the listed supported platform, while the wiki describes Mac and Linux use through Mono or Wine. NHSE is written in C# and licensed under GPL-3.0. It is free, and its repository asks users to act responsibly and says it does not support cheating at others' expense.
