I knew that, I was just wondering if it lowered the friendship level as well...

I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect friendship, the villagers won't ever mention it. It's mostly so that you can reset any inappropriate dialogue/clothes/letters they may have learned/received in a previous town.

Okay, thank you. (And thanks for the compliment!)

Hi guys, I'm a little confused. So many posts have come up with a chance to buy or even receive a new member in your town from another persons town. How does this work? Do you need the campsite before you can participate or can I just ask them to move into mine?

Many thanks xxx

How many villagers have to move out till past villagers start appearing on your main street? I've heard its 4 but I want to be sure, since I have just had 3 move out so far.

Also, how long does it take for a Dream Address to be removed after not updating for sometime? Do Nintendo removed it manually after some time or is it automatic?

As far as I know you can just ask them.

on the island, in the tours is it random what flowers you find? I am searching for a tour with lillies/violets.

It's random, but for whatever reason, I've always had a difficult time finding lilies and violets on most tours with the exception of the Gardening ones. If I remember correctly, the Butterfly tours also have lilies and violets. Besides that, I don't know if the other tours don't have lilies/violets at all of if I just got unlucky. If you have the Gardening or Butterfly tours, I'd try those ones!

Thanks! I will keep my eye out for those ones.

It starts after five move out.

Is the Gracie set customizable? I initially thought not, but after re-visiting Aika village one of the houses seems to have what looks like a customized Gracie dresser?

I don't think that the Gracie set is customizable. It seems like the only customizable set from Gracie is the Card set. Also, the Gracie Dresser doesn't exist according to this, so I'm not sure what furniture you're talking about. Maybe you can take a picture of the furniture you're talking about? That would be helpful! Or tell me which house and room it is, and I can look for myself.

Today was the Bug Off in my town. I got three pieces of the Insect Set and I would like to obtain the rest. If I time travel backwards to the beginning of today, will I be able to do the Bug Off all over again? Or would I have to TT forward to the next date that a Bug Off is scheduled for?

ah whoops it looks like it was an alpine dresser; the room was dark so I guess it looked like the gracie chest. ^^;;;

Haha, no worries! It's an easy oversight; they do look quite similar. If you customize the Alpine series with the Gracie set pattern, you can even end up with a pretty nice fake Gracie set for a lot cheaper.

(This is a stupid question, but I just want to be sure before I go messing with anything)

When you change the date/time within the game itself, does it also adjust the time on the system itself?

I ask because I'm considering TT'ing - but not if it changes the date on the 3DS itself. (I have another game that uses actual dates, and I don't want to mess it up by TT'ing in AC:NL)

Nvm, I stopped being a chicken and set the clock forward 10 minutes to test it out. lol

I know you answered your own question, but I just wanted to clarify:

ACNL clock only affects ACNL.
3DS clock affects all games.

if i have a villager planning on moving on a certain date and i tt backwards will their move date change or will it always remain the same?

asking again!

 

[Melyora]

asking again!

It WILL change. It's the amount of days that counts. So say a villager will move on the 24th, but you TT a day backwards, the moving day will be the 22nd (if I am correct).
Maybe you should try it out by knowing the moving date, TT a day back and then asking the moving date again by talking to that villager.

My sister accidentally lost a villager she wanted to give away by a TT back incident.

Hope this helps!

 

[FraudulentDimetrodon]

asking again!

I believe that the date will change but the number of days leading up the moving day stay the same, if that makes any sense. Or rather, the number of days leading up to their move progress as normal.

For example, let's say Julian is moving out on July 13th, and you find out as soon as possible on July 8th, five days beforehand. All time travel backwards count as one day, so if you time travel to July 7th, Julian won't move on July 13th, however, since you've progressed one day forward, now Julian will move in four days on the 11th. Then, if you time travel to June 1st, now two days have "passed" so Julian is moving in three days on June 4th. I believe that any dialogue with the villager will be updated as well.

I'm not 100% on this though, so if you're doing an time traveling shenanigans with a moving villager, you might still want to check on them to make sure, at least to start off with.
