When you arrive on the island, you are likely to stifle a cry of surprise when faced with the emptiness of this new playing field. In particular, if you have already paid off the previous games, generally a bit more generous at launch of a new game. Do not panic, it is possible to quickly unlock a good number of very useful infrastructures:

• The museum : its first stage is unlocked after giving five different insects or fish to Nook. Once satisfied, he will then invite Thibou to come and put his suitcases on your island. It only remains to choose a location for your museum and the owl will settle there the next day.
• The Nook shop : first housed in Nook's tent, the two rascals will automatically ask you to bring them 30 units of wood, stone and iron ore after a certain number of quests carried out for their uncle. In doing so, they will be able to free themselves from its supervision and leave to build their own shop.
• Fairy nun's finger shop : when Layette arrives in town as a itinerant merchant, think about buying her goods: after several purchases, she will decide to set up her boutique at your home.
• The town hall : after the installation of the museum and the Nook shop, the tanuki will ask you to choose three locations to build additional dwellings. Once new inhabitants have settled there, Nook will tell you that he is no longer able to manage the island alone and will invite Marie to come and build his town hall in your village the next day.

After their construction, you can also improve some of these buildings which will in some cases make them larger or unlock new options.

• The museum : you must continue to bring your insects, fossils and fish to Thibou who this time will erect a real museum - a beautiful one, a class - after having received fifteen different ones.
• The Office of the Residents : Nook will automatically change his patched tent for a real building as soon as you have installed a museum, as well as the store of Méli & Mélo.
• The Nook store : keep buying products from Méli et Mélo, and after a while, they will improve their store by themselves.
