This has probably been asked before and I have been searching for awhile but...

can you start adopting villagers even if you just started playing the game? like I only have 6 villagers and go to another town with a villager in boxes? Im scared of adopting because maybe the adopted villager will just disappear. thanks

Yes, you can. c:

 

[Amissapanda]

No, your luck is predetermined at the start of the day.

I'll be completely honest: I didn't even know daily luck was a thing in this game.

Thanks for enlightening me! I'll have to look up more about what exactly this all entails...

 

[SeraphicOrder]

Yes, you can. c:

thank you. I would like to adopt some poor homeless animals soon.

Luck actually starts at midnight each night. If you have a lovely phone, you can check any time you want, and your item of the day will last from midnight to midnight. You can only really get the lovely phone during the August fireworks shows.

The reason you were tripping was bad health luck. I don't know how you can know what days those are, though I think Katrina mentions it when she gives her reading. Most days, you just won't have extra luck if you don't have the item or one of Katrina's hats, but bad health luck actually means you'll fall. The other days, having the lucky item will just make villagers give you better items and have friendlier conversations with you. For me, the snooties usually give me a gift and say, "I don't know why I was compelled to give you that, but I was."

As for whether you can get PWP requests after you have 30 built, yes, you can. As someone said, you can't get another bridge request if you have three, but any other request will still be made even if you can't build it at the moment.

How do you get special items from camping villagers?

How do you get special items from camping villagers?

Playing games with them and winning thats how I got a surfboard and backpack! Hope that helped!

 

[molas]

Just by playing their games that offer furniture and winning, sometimes you'll come across the camping/igloo items.

EDIT: a bit late whoops!

Thanks both of you!

Sorry if this has been answered before but do patterns obstruct the growth of trees?
I was laying out some paths in the town and wanted to plant some trees right beside it, preferrably without needing to remove the patterns, wait until the tree grows, then putting them back. Haven't really tried it myself since I am afraid the saplings will wilt ;;

They don't, I have a couple of trees right beside a path. Remember that items can't land on patterns though so be careful when you shake trees.

Does the character ever automatically use an item they're holding? I ask because awhile back my mayor blew on the tweeter I was holding like three times (not exactly in a row, sort of staggered) without me pressing A, and today it happened again and wasted the dandelion puff I was holding. orz Is my A button just becoming ruined or is this actually a thing that happens

 

[molas]

Those things also will be used when you blow/breathe/speak loudly enough into the microphone.

omg really? I was wondering why it never happened with the tools and other things. Weird how it took me over a year to accidentally breathe into the mic too hard hahah Thanks for answering, I was despairing of my A button. 8')

I see, thank you! Yeah, I (unfortunately) already found out about the fact that fruit vanishes when falling onto the pattern the hard way, I'll keep that in mind
...About that, does that mean when you have a rotten fruit on a perfect fruit tree, you can make it vanish by putting down a pattern? (I mean, you can probably throw it in the trash as an alternative but I suppose the pattern method would work faster)

The easiest, cheapest way to get rid of unwanted rotten fruit is to simply bury it. It'll grow a dead sapling that you just dig right up.

 

[oranje]

Does having alternative characters make it more likely that a villager would move away? For example, I use my main character more than my alt. one. Does that mean if they don't talk to my alt, my villagers are more likely to move away even if I talk to them on my main?

 

[Porcelain]

the mods can't check every thread on the forums, if someone is doing something against the rules, the best thing to do is report their post/thread and then the mods can check it out.

Didn't know you could report thread for something like that, thanks!

What happens if you tell Celeste you want to dismantle your museum display? Do you lose everything you've got in there?

 

[SeraphicOrder]

I have a question about villagers and their homes.

If you visit them and they ask you to rate their houses....if you tell them it is not good, will they get mad?

same with clothes.. if they change their clothes and ask you what you think, if you tell them it doesnt look good, will they get mad?

thanks

depends on personality types! cranky personalities seem to prefer it when you insult their home, you might have noticed but sometimes when you give a villager the highest praise they don't seem happy with that. no matter what you choose they give you a present and it doesn't effect their friendship levels.

i believe it's the same with clothes, however i must admit i haven't yet seen a personality type that likes it when you insult their clothes! i always thought it was a quick way for them to change back to the shirt they were wearing beforehand, so if i call a shirt ugly that they just put on (mostly received from another villager), often they will change back to their previous shirt. i'm pretty positive it doesn't effect friendship with them.
