How Do I Get a Ladder in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

To get the ladder, you need to unlock the Nook’s Cranny store and start placing the residents on the island. Nook’s Cranny is the store where Timmy and Tommy can be found. To build it, you will need 30 pieces of each type of wood and 30 iron nuggets.

Once you choose a store location, it will be built the next day. At the same time, in the morning, Tom Nook will hear a phone call and learn that more and more residents are heading to the island. If Tom Nook is not answering calls in your game, wait until the island museum is fully built.

After this phone call, visit Nook at Resident Services, talk to him, and select the “What should I do” option. Nook will tell you that your task now is to build a bridge and build three houses.
