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

No, only from your own.

if you want, you can place PWPs around your town that you don't want villagers plotting their house so it will limit their spawn areas

Thank you! Unforunetly I've reached my limit for my PWPS but I think I'll put them in more strategic locations.

hey. i just got a villager from a friends town. I cannot remember when they move in. Is it the next day? or 2 days?

 

[molas]

If you invited them yourself, probably the next day. If you picked them up from the void I'm unsure.

 

[Miss_Tisa]

What exactly is the "void"?

 

[molas]

When a villager moves out, they go to the "void," which means if the person whose town they moved out of connects with someone over wi-fi, local, or via streetpass, that villager can move into the second person's town, if they haven't had the villager recently and have less than 10 villagers. And as long as they are the first person to connect with them since the villager moved out.

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. :<

i think this may count? though i'm not sure. what i do is turn my chairs sideways, maybe this will help you. i agree on the gap looking too wide and awkward.

I saw the hiatus guide on animalcrossingus's tumblr, but I felt like a couple of things were a little outdated. I was wondering if there were any other hiatus guides out there, or if anyone knows the best way to prepare for and come back from a hiatus?

 

[molas]

There are two ways to prepare for a haitus, depending on whether you want everything to be exactly as you left it when you started the haitus, or if you just want to make sure none of your villagers move.

For the former, write down the date you're leaving in your game notes (so you won't lose it), writing down both your 3DS clock date and your ingame date if they are different.

Then, when you get back from your haitus, change your 3DS clock to the date that's in your notes (make sure if ingame and 3DS were different that they both match), and when you load up, it'll be like you never left. You can then TT day by day (or jump if no one plans on moving) to the correct date on the 3DS clock.

If you're only concerned about your villagers moving, before you go, make sure a villager pings you and you tell them to stay, then save and quit and you can start your haitus from there. Then no matter how long of a break you take, no one will have left, since the game hasn't set a new person to move out yet.

can a villager set their plot down inbetween two houses w/ 5 spaces in between?

like this;

RXXXXXR

R= RESIDENT X= SPACE

 

[molas]

Nope, there would need to be seven spaces in order for another villager house to fit in between.

aw ok, now i have to place this villager in a random spot ;_:

 

[okun0ichio]

So I mixed up my hybrid red and regular red flowers and I have no idea which is which. Should I get rid of all red flowers that I currently have and get new ones to breed with or should I just place them randomly hoping that I got the right ones.

I just started a new town, and not all of the villagers have moved in yet. Can I start moving in dreamies now, or do I have to wait until the game moves in the remaining 3 or 4 villagers, before I can move them out and get my dreamies in?

 

[oranje]

I have a question regarding grass erosion. I know that if you time travel, grass starts to erode, but what if you only TT forward for an hour or three? How would that affect grass erosion?

 

[Brobasaur]

Question. So I had 8 villagers, went to a town and invited Zell to move in. He said yes and the next day an ugly pig named spork moved in instead. What happened?? Will Zell still move in or am I stuck with this pig?

And is there a way to speed up moving him out like sending him garbage or something?

 

[tinytaylor]

I haven't unlocked 2nd floor museum upgrade or the coffe shop? for whatever reason I haven't gotten these requests from blabbers yet? i have donated over 50 items and at least three have been from each category. i started my town july 1 2014. is it possible that I haven't had this request get because my town is set in 2013 at the moment?

You can start moving them in immediately.

What's the best way to get more points for the HHA trendy challenge? Is it best to have 2 full different sets of trendy series sets per room? Or just 1?

Or how about 2 of the same set in a room?

 

[molas]

If you're going for the theme challenge, any duplicates of items within the same room won't count towards your score. Putting two different series in one room will improve your score the most out of what you said, just make sure all interactive items are usable. You can have multiples of items throughout the house, like having a full sleek series in your main room and also one in a side room.
