Anyone else get unreasonably sad when their villagers move away as planned?

[h1pst4r]

I'm letting Stitches go today as he's my friend's favourite villager (she will be picking him up). Even though I have his Amiibo card, I am unreasonably attached to this little virtual villager! To add insult to injury, it doesn't seem like we get goodbye mail anymore.

I've remembered almost all of my moveouts (and moveins!) going all the way back to Wild World, and I'm amazed at how quickly random villagers grow on me, and how regretful I am to see them leave (Tank, Chrissy, Beardo to name a few).

Anyone else? I suppose I made this thread to commiserate about planned move outs and still feeling sad about it.

I know what you mean I had to let go Piper to get Rosie and I'm still a little sad.

omg, I feel this. even if it's a villager I've wanted to move out for weeks, I still feel bad when they actually do it

Mac moved out the other day. Initially couldn't have said see ya any faster but I did feel slightly guilty afterwards. Kinda miss him calling me 'woof woof'

 

[meggiewes]

Yeah. It would be better if they at least sent a goodbye letter like they did in New Leaf. I mean, I know they are leaving, but the little touch counted.

Yeah I get this feeling too, it's really strange. I couldn't stand Bubbles calling me hipster and calling gifts 'prezzies' but then the other animals seemed sad to see her go so I was like, 'aww'.

Haha me with Egbert in ACNL. Wanted the guy out, and I have actually never felt so bad about letting a villager leave because it was the one and only time I really tried not to interact with a villager. He was a cool space chicken... see you, space cowboy...

yeah, and i am disappointed that we don't get goodbye letters. i enjoyed saving them to recall who passed through my town. even villagers i want to leave, i'm lookin at like - hmmm. but do i though? haha i always feel bad.

 

[InkFox]

Yeah ! I just let Ed go. When he first moved in I couldn't wait for him to leave but now I feel guilty for letting him go and I kinda miss his silly smug horse face. I had grown to quite like him... I wish he would have at least sent me a letter or something.
And since no one wanted to adopt him, I had to void him, it's just so sad.

I felt this way about letting Flora go this morning even though I didn’t care either way about having her on my island. I feel as though it is easy to get attached even if they aren’t your favorite because you see them walking around all the time daily and form a little bond with them. That’s just me though, I have attachment issues lol

This kinda reminds me of the post about Monique wanting to see a mayor in a red dress and then the next pic was Monique's goodbye letter, and the last pic was the mayor looking out from the beach with the red dress on captioned "I never did get to show her"

I know exactly which post you're talking about and it still hurts me to this day-

yes! i had to let chief go to have an open plot for raymond and it was really hard since chief has always been my favorite wolf, but i already had dobie. plus i have chiefs amiibo so i guess i can always scan him in!

i was also planning on letting monty go but then he went up to a little springy ride and used it and he just had a little smile and my heart melted and said “ok you’re not leaving now”

I don't find it unreasonable at all, due to my mental health I get very emotionally attached to my villagers as they feel like some real friends especially Crankies haha <3 when I lost Gaston in New Leaf I read his letter and was simply overwhelmed and started crying really made me realize Crankies were the sweetest and made me all the more sad :' ) Nothing wrong with feeling emotionally attached to your favorite villagers at all I have many great friends in real life but I just really REALLY love my AC compadres haha!

 

[Laureline]

I usually don’t form attachment to villagers I don’t like. So for me it’s easy to let them go to a new home or void.

 

[Mairmalade]

I know what you mean!

I'm not looking forward to the day when Nan decides it's time for her to move on. I've seen her talking to a lot of my other villagers and she usually sits on the same bench near one of my waterfalls to read. It's cool to see them really 'living' on the island.

I invited Vivian with an Amiibo card and she pinged to move out quickly (my town is natural so maybe she didn't like the lack of a true city vibe, haha). Was sad to see her go!

 

[Twinsouls1145]

yeah i let go of marshal today. even tho ive been trying to get him out for weeks i was sad bc i did rly love him, just nto as much as my dreamies. i sent him a goodbye letter and i hope he knows i love him!!!

 

[jokk]

yes! i sent flora away to make room for genji and was surprised by how sad i was. she was never my favorite but once she left i really missed her

 

[Figment]

I let Fuchsia go recently. I loved her design, but I felt like she wasn't really "happy" on my island since she rarely left her house or interacted with any of the other villagers. When I went to say goodbye to her, she was in tears. I can't say that I cried, but it was a bit of an emotional punch.

A couple of days ago I let Lopez go and even though he isn't one of my favorites I was really sad to see him go! Now whenever I see Lopez in someone else's town I get really happy to see him again!
