how does somebody clear one's void? do you go to a town with 10 villagers or somethin.

You go to a town that has 10 villagers. Your villager will try to move into it from the void and won't be able to. Towns that have had that villager before but haven't gone through the 16 villager cycle or which have a permanent set of 10 villagers are ideal.

... That's the theory, at least. I've also read several posts recently claiming you can't really clear your void, and others that the chances of that villager trying to move to a town with a free spot get lower each time you visit a full town. I don't think we know for sure but it's probably safest to assume you can't.

it is impossible to clear your void. Whether a villager in the void moves in or not is completely random.

For anyone with power save pro or power save depending on where you live...I can apply codes to save slot one but slot 2 doesn't even show....

When a voided villager moves into another town randomly, do they still have the same items, letters, and stuff that you've sent them and any memories of your town?

 

[cielyca]

So, I was thinking about TT about 40 years ahead to get interest in my bells as well as complete my weeding badge. I have the beautiful ordinance in place and my flowers dont seem to be wilting. Will they wilt if I TT 40 years, will my villagers hate me?
What other repercussions should I be away of. Please share your opinions as well.

I don't know what you mean with the last part.

About TTing 40 years ahead, other than the weeds, the only other repercussion is probably bed hair. I don't think flowers wilt at all if you have Beautiful Town, they've never died whenever I've time travelled ahead. I don't know if it's different if you go 40 years into the future, but it shouldn't be.

As to your villagers hating you, the only thing I've noticed is that when I'm gone, they'll tell me off for not talking to them and then go on as normal.

If you're afraid about ruining your friendship with your villagers, you can go forward 40 years, start a new character, save that character, and only play your mayor when you go back. In my experience, villagers won't hate you if (in the game) it hasn't been long since you last played that character. For example, when I time travel with my mayor, I get lectured by the villagers because the last save date is so distant. Whenever I've done that, my side characters haven't been affected because their last save date was much closer.

Well, as far as I can tell, there is no reason to TT that far for interest. If I TT 1 month or 1 year, I get the same interest, 99K. I think that exploit from earlier games is gone. Wait to deny a ping before you TT, and if you have beautiful town you'll be fine. Your villagers will all complain once, but friendships will remain high. If they take a hit at all, it's small.

Also, for getting weeds, I found in my cycle town that TTing repeatedly really built up the weeds. So TTing 20 times, 1 year at a time gave me a town full of weeds, but TTing 20 years in one jump did not give nearly as many. Of course, I wasn't trying to protect my villagers since I was cycling, so loading more along the way didn't threaten any dreamies for me. You'll have to make your jumps more carefully, of course.

They keep the items, and they will bring up the other town and sing the town tune all the time. Mine have mentioned more than the mayor from former towns, so I think they remember side characters as well. They come with the catchphrase, clothing, and greeting from the old town as well. I've never been shown a letter from a previous town, however. Presumably Nintendo feared that was just too many characters to risk showing an inappropriate for younger players message.

And people will try to track down who sent them a voided villager since they get the town name and eventually the mayor's name! Most people are reasonable and just curious, but others get downright furious!

I thought they kept the letters because Isabelle has an option to reset that? Unless I'm confusing it with something else.

That's terrifying! I voided a villager early in the game and after reading the posts saying they won't go away, ever, I'm now a bit paranoid that that villager moved into someone's town or might do that in the future.

i have such a noob question that's holding me up. i have a qr code for a path but only the vertical path. i was trying to figure if there was anyway I could rotate the path and make the horizontal side but i'm just so brain dead idk how. pls help

 

[P.K.]

Afraid there's no option to rotate qr codes. It's either you find the horizontal equivalent to it (which I'm pretty sure there is. It'll just take some time to find it) or you make the horizontal path yourself.

@LaserBeam & @Sosu, Thank you for the tips. I might try TT 1 year at a time using an alt character.

You get a golden axe after buying 50 saplings. Is this limited to only one per character? If I buy another 50 saplings, can I get another golden axe?

I am 99.9% sure you can only get one per character. But it would be nice if someone else could confirm this.


My question: 'til what time do villagers celebrate their birthday party? Molly is apparently thinking of moving, but she's attending Daisy's birthday party today. Will I have time to stop her later today?

 

[unintentional]

Question about the void: If i pick up some villager from the void, will their room be like it was in the town? Also, would they show letters, do that "I remeber my old town's tune" and whistle it?

Somewhere on here someone stated the party ends at Midnight, so maybe she'll leave her house then.

Their house will look like it was when they left the other town, they will whistle their town tunes, but i don't think they show letters. They will only ever show letters you have sent them.

 

[Campy]

Thank you for answering! Probably can't stay up that late, so I guess I'll log in with a new character tomorrow to see if she's already in boxes.

Is the kimbap plate released yet? I've seen a thread asking for one that has been up for a long time (hasn't been locked), but I haven't found info about it being released yet.

 

[Spooky.]

This was sort of asked on the main page, but I wasn't totally clear about it so I'm going to ask just so it's clarified -

If I want to reset for a new map, the character on the train will show me four choices at a time, right? And if I do not like any of the four, do I just shut the game off and re-start it for another set of four until I get one I like?

Yes. You can only pick from those four at each time but if you quit without saving your game and try again, you'll be shown four other random maps. You can switch it off when you're shown the maps but it might be safer to wait until you arrive at the station (you only really save your character after talking to Isabelle at the town hall and registering as resident, I think). Doing that also has the benefit of letting you check the native fruit, grass pattern, and rock placement, if those things matter to you.

Hey guys, I've got a question about receiving villagers from other people.

Naomi just told me she wants to move out on the 20th, and I'm letting her go. Since that will leave me with 8 villagers, will I still be able to adopt someone from another player or will a random plot just appear on the 21st? If it's possible, which date should I travel to someone's town to talk to the villager I want?

 

[Hypno KK]

The random plot always has a chance of appearing on every day after you're down to 8 villagers. I think the percentage is closest to 100% a week later but there's a chance each day after that villager moves out. If you want to make sure nobody's moving in, you can start the game as a new character and check your whole town for a plot and quit without saving if you find one. When there isn't a plot, you can save as that new character before starting your game as usual. You can delete that character later and if you're doing this multiple days in a row, it's best to set aside a spot for the new characters to put their houses in so you won't have mud patches all over your town.

You can invite a villager as your 8th player, as far as I know, and you need to wait until that villager moves out. On the 21st, you can check for a plot using the method above, and then go invite a villager from someone else's town.
