So, I'm getting a villager from another member (through cycling). I just talked with the villager today and got her to agree to move into my town.

I'm considering trying to do the plot reset trick, so there are a couple of things I'd like to know first:

1) When will the villager move in?
I hear campsite villagers move in 2 days later, but then reports that boxed villagers move in the next day. Which one is it?

2) Is there a possibility of losing the villager entirely by plot resetting?
I don't want to do the plot reset trick if there's a chance of the villager not moving in.

And for future reference since I'm also starting a cycling town:
How many villagers can move into a given town at a time?

Please and thank you!

1) Boxed villagers have always moved in the next day for me, and I seem to recall Lolly moving in from my campsite the next day as well. But I recall villagers taking an extra day or two to move in, though I don't remember if those were regular move-ins or villagers from other towns. You can always just use the plot resetting method anyway just to check, and if they're not there you can save the character and try the next day. With each day there's a bigger chance of them showing up.

2) I've never heard of that happening so I very much doubt it. If a villager says they're going to move in, I strongly doubt that would change. It certainly hasn't happened to me, and if there was a big enough chance it would be well-known by now, I think.

3) So, how many villagers can put plots in your town at one time? Or maybe can there be a villager in boxes while another villager puts a plot down? I have no idea, but just in case I would say, no.
 
How often does bamboo produce shoots? I've had two bamboos for over a week, and I've gotten one shoot. There is plenty of space between them. I read that they spawned very quickly to the point that they were a big nuisance, so I was expecting to have all the shoots I needed in a few days. I'm eager to put my violet patches back around them. I don't like how bare it is there. :(

That's strange. I've found that they spawn new shoots every day (they're buried nearby), and that they spawn up to two or three spaces around the bamboo. Do you have patterns on the floor or flowers that are blocking them from spreading?

How do you get candy? This is my first time playing October and I talked to that Halloween guy today and he said something about giving villagers candy.

Two spaces? Ah, I have some PWP's about two spaces away from them. Maybe those are interfering? :( But I got a shoot from the side that has three spaces clear, so maybe I can get another one from that same spot.

Find candy in the nookling junction, from the fortune cookie spot.

Why does it not quote the posts I'm trying to reply to with "reply with quote"? :( Edit: I typed the quote code manually and it worked. Hummmm...

I guess that the PWP is blocking it from growing then. If you're just looking to collect a lot of shoots initially it may be worth burying some in a more empty area. :)
 
So I have a question regarding villager adoption. So I'm lurking for some villagers at the moment but what if my own villager pinged me to move in a few days? Is there a way for them to still move but stay for a few days even when my wanted villager is not ready to move right away yet?
 
You can TT to stick to the same day for however long you need to, as long as you don't pass 6am either direction.

So would that mean if (for example) I was about to go to sleep on that day, I would TT to the same day before 6am (like 5am)?

If you were going to sleep for the day you would TT to sometime after 6am the same day, so the clock doesn't turn over.

Say you're on October 2nd, and if you're trying to stay on October 2nd, you won't go before 6am October 2nd or past 5:59am October 3rd.

EDIT: Nevermind on my question, she will accept a new bed!

Does TTing backwards count towards grasswear? For example/reference, I'm going a day forward and a day back several times.

And an April Fool's question, can I get multiple towels in a day?

Hi I have a question about villager move ins.

If my 10th villager moved out today. Is there a possibilty that I will see a random plot from a random villager move in tomorrow?

I would hate to see that when Im planning to purchase and reserve my dreamy from someone in tbt.

Thank you so much for answering my newbie question. Im just worried.

It is possible if you wifi with someone and they happen to have a villager in their void. I'd not wifi with anyone whose void you're unsure of until you're able to pick up your dreamie. If you get a lot of streetpasses I'd turn that off.

But from the game itself? No, no random move-ins aside from wifi/streetpass once you've nine villagers.
