Does anyone know if it's actually 100% impossible to get the 10th villager to move out? I'd like to TT out my 10th villager but I probably would just leave my current 10 if I'd have to get rid of someone else first. If anyone has successfully done this I'd love to hear about it!

It absolutely isn't impossible. My 10th villager in my old town, Roald, pissed me off because he moved in the worst spot possible. I don't TT much, if anything I just TT to the next day to get double the items and then TT back to normal time, but a few days (in both ACNL time and real time) later Roald pinged me and said he was moving, and even though I wasn't close to him at all, he STILL kept his word with moving when I said "see ya!" to him.

So, from first hand experience, it's not impossible. Just maintain a small friendship level with them I guess? Maybe I was just really, really lucky.

theres a very specific amount of friendship you have to be in order to make them "fake out" its inbetween "not good friends" and "friends" really wish it didnt exist... it happened to me once when trying to get rid of Curlos. i was soooo upset... took 2 weeks to get him to move out after that.. anyway, another way to do it is to use another one of your players. basically, play as a character that villager doesnt know for a week, and never talk to them, but talk to everyone else constantly. after a week, they should just disappear.

I don't quite understand cycling... can someone explain it?

Has anyone else been constantly getting "error 018-0512" when trying to visit someone else's town? I feel like it might be my internet that's causing the problem, and I really want it fixed, but I move out in a week and everything that gets fixed won't even matter since I won't be coming back to this apartment. I just don't know if it's worth all the trouble to fix for just being here another week?

It's usually a router problem. My friend has that as well - works fine when she's at my house, won't work at all when we're at her house.

If you feel like trying to fix it, there's instructions here. But to be honest, if you're going to be moving & using a new router when you do, I wouldn't bother.

Copy/pasted from the other questions thread:

I've been wondering this for a while, maybe someone here can help: has anyone else gotten Nintendo Zone to work anytime recently? I keep getting letters from Nintendo about items I can get, but when I go to all the places that are supposed to be Nintendo Zones (McDonalds, Best Buy, etc), I get a random streetpass but no actual Nintendo Zone connection. I've been missing out on all the DLC items because of it.

I remember it used to work back when I first got the game (I stopped playing sometime in 2014 then picked it up again a few months ago), so I thought maybe those places just aren't Nintendo Zones anymore? But then why the random streetpasses? And then where ARE the Nintendo Zone locations now? I want those items! D:

Someone replied to this post and linked the list of zone locations, and McDonalds and Best Buy were on the list, just like they've always been. So, why isn't it working?

My Walmart has Nintendo Zone and I never get Nintendo Zone items. So I'm having the same problem, why?

thanks so much for answering my question

 

[autumnadorable]

hi, im new.....what is tbt?

You might want to post that on the Bell Tree HQ thread.

And is there a limit to how many villagers can visit your main street?

If I received a golden watering can from someone else, can I still earn one with perfect town status?

I would say yes, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Red Cat]

Yes. Getting / buying any golden tool from someone else does not prevent you from getting another one by completing the requirements to get that golden tool.

Awesome! Thanks Athros and Red Cat!

How many villagers are currently in your town? If you have 8, then adopting someone the next day and then having Chief come in would bring it up to 10, so you'd be good. If you have more than 8, then it will mess up your adoption process since you can only have 10 villagers in your town at a time.

I have a question myself. If I were to go back in time to, let's say, March 2015, would I lose any villagers?

okay i have this problem when i go to receive my dlc present from the post office i keep being told it can't be delivered with the access point that i'm connected to right now. then either phyllis or pelly tells me that i have to change my settings.i don't what that means so can anyone help me much thanks in advance.

Time traveling backwards wouldn't make you lose anyone but traveling back into the present most likely would. You would want to play or TT every two days until someone pings you asking to move out. Accept or deny their request and then time travel all the way forward to prevent losing someone.

Going back in time, no many what number of days, it will count as going one day forward.
Going forward in time, will count as the amount of days you go forward.

If you have a villager in boxes, going back in time will not prevent them from moving out.
If you want to go forward in time to catch up to the current date, you have to make sure that either

a) a villager is moving out (or rather, is in boxes)
b) you have stopped a villager from moving​

The game needs a day to process changes, so it needs a day to record a villager moving out or cancelling a moving out request. Because it needs this day where it has to save on, you can TT forward as much as you like without losing anyone. Just... be very sure you meet one of these requirements before TTing.

alright so i looked up how to breed blue roses and it says you have to create hybrid red roses. What do those looks like? I looked them up and they look the same as regular red roses? Are they different?

The hybrid red roses created from breeding purple roses with orange roses look exactly the same as regular red roses, but they are the only ones you can use to breed blue roses. If you want to breed blue roses yourself, then you'll want to breed your hybrid red roses in an area where villagers usually don't go so that they don't plant a regular red rose near your hybrids and mess you up. If you don't care how you get your blue roses, it is better to just get two blue roses from someone else and breed them so that you don't have to go through the hassle.
