• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Ask AC:NL Questions here! (Please read before posting here or making a new thread!)

These might be stupid questions, but I haven't played ACNL in months so I'll need some time to remember everything again.
What do cycling and tier (villagers) mean? :)
 
Tier villagers, over in the villager trading forum, there's a popularity list. Tier 1 are most popular, Tier 2 are next most popular, down to Tier 5.

Cycling is either moving out villagers to try to get someone back (you move 16 after losing the guy you want back, then you can adopt him again) or it's just moving villagers out so people can adopt them from you.
 
Does anyone have any tips for finding a gar? I've been hunting one for almost three hours, saving frequently, scaring off other fish, and nothing.

Also, is it possible to find on tours or anything?
 
Gar can be found in the river pools. The pond like things. They are rare and have long shadows. Found at night I believe.

Yeah, I know, I meant tips more along the lines of when people found it easier to find them. Like different months, peak times, etc. Sorry for not being more clear/specific!

EDIT: Would luck happen have any sort of effect on it, possibly? I had bad luck when I was looking.

Thanks, but I still have some questions. What does the 'tier' mean/where does the word come from? And what do you mean with 'you move 16'? :)

I'm not sure where the word 'tier' originates, but by 'move 16', Ras means allow 16 villagers to move out of your village in order to reclaim a lost villager. After 16 move away, whether or not they were in your town to begin with, you can get that villager back.
 
tier is just hierarchy. it's just different levels of popularity in terms of villagers on the forums.
 
Why are the carpets and wallpapers from the Bug-Off re-orderable but the wallpaper and carpet from the Fishing Contest are not?
 
Tier means group. They are grouped by order of 15 to connote popularity. :D

i have a question about villager cathcphrases. If you adopt a villager with a changed catchphrase... will he/she ask me in the future to change it? anyone have this experience? thank you :D
 
Yeah. I adopted Lolly and she always asks for a new catchphrase. I like the way she audibly pronounces "bonbon," so it never happens.
 
Is there any thread detailing on how plot resetting works? Because I have a villager moving out in a few days and I would like to know beforehand.
 
Is there a way to get a villager to move in a specific location? Ive been plot resetting for hours but the villager isnt setting his plot where I want him :(

Is it possible to get a villager from another campsite?
Assuming that the person has an allotted space and everything needed,

Hey guys, I know that when you can't interact with an item within your home you get an HHA score penalty. Does this also apply to chairs that can't be sat in? Sometimes the gap between chairs/sofas and tables looks much too wide. :<
