yesss yes :]
if you're having terrible luck, like I usually do (darn you chief and 164 resets...) and end up going past a day, you can still load your mayor!
I posted this in the thread you made a couple days back, but I'll post it again incase you didn't see xD
Since I don't like skipping a day, once 10 hours or so have passed, I load my mayor and just go back to the day I invited that villager.
So lets say I invited Chief Feb 12th (doesn't matter what time)
Then went to feb 13th, 5:58 am. Save & Quit. Reset for houuuurssss until it was like 8pm on feb 13th.
Load my mayor, change the time with Isabelle back to Feb 12th.

Rinse and repeat. Go to feb 13th, 5:58 save & quit etc etc.
 
If I have a villager in boxes on a certain day, will I be able to move like... weeks or months forward without anybody else moving out?

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible. o.o once you have them in boxes, they will leave the next day at 6am.

Depending on how many villagers you have at this point, you'll be in an entering or exiting period.
Entering would be you have 8 villagers now. Nobody will move at all during this time, but expect a move in the next couple days.
If you have 9, you'd be in an exiting period and it's absolutely possible for a village to move within 3-5 days.

I don't have firm testing to back this up, but from my experience I'd say the answer is that nobody else will move out. The reason I think that is because the only villager that is "queued" to move out on that day is the villager in boxes and the game won't queue another villager to move out until you start the game on another day. If you are familiar with the move-out request denial and TT trick, then I think this is basically the same concept except that the villager in boxes obviously moves out. If you are unsure though, then you can change your system clock and start a new character to check to see if all of your other villagers are still there before you load a character.
 
I hope I can explain this in a way that makes sense...

I have 2 3DS systems, A and B. I play my current ACNL game (cartridge ver.) on A. I want to buy a second cartridge and play it on system B, so I can visit it from my main town to move villagers between towns.
If I ever wanted to switch to playing the second cartridge on system A at some point in the future, would I be able to? Could I just pop the game cartridge into A and have everything work, without losing the town, or is that not possible?

Thanks to everyone who answers questions in this thread btw, it's so useful! <3

You can use cartridges on any console. The save files are on the actual cartridge so you wouldn't lose anything.
You are also able to play a digital and a physical on the same console.
 
I meant to do some light plot resetting today, and by mistake I started to load my mayor. I got to the part where it announced that today is the fishing tourney. Does it save before or after she says this? I shut the power off before my actual village loaded, but I'm pretty sure I'm too late. I just tried twice and his house is in the same spot. Should I bother resetting at this point or am I lucked out?

anytime after it says 'preparing your town' or something along those lines is too late :c​
 
Dumb n00b question but I've never plot reset before and I need some guidance:

Okay, so yesterday was Deli’s last day in town. I knew his house would be gone today, so when I booted up AC, I made a new character so I could make sure whoever moves in next puts their house in a decent spot. So I made my new character, (haven’t visited town hall or Nook’s Homes yet) and wandered around looking for the new plot but…it isn’t there.

This is my first day without Deli in my town, meaning I have a total of 8 villagers…so shouldn’t there be a plot for a new one somewhere today? Should I just reset, make another new character, and look around for the plot again, or is my new villager (whoever they may be) not going to have their plot put down until tomorrow?

Also, once the new one moves in and I have 9 villagers, will a 10th one just move in randomly or only if I invite them from another town/the campsite?

Thanks for your help!

a random move-in for your ninth villager probably won't happen until the fourth or fifth day after someone moves. there's no real way to know when they'll show up, as far as I know. :c

and your tenth villager can only move in if you invite them from someone else's town/your campsite or if you pick up a void!​
 
Maybe I'm not quite understanding the 16 villager rule, for when you want an old villager to move back in, because Filbert isn't suggesting to move back to my town.

When he was in boxes, I adopted him from my cycle town and held him. Kept a list of alllll the villagers that moved in after him. My 16th just moved in, I greeted them then went over to my cycle town to invite Filbert back, but no dice.

Do I need to move out that 16th villager, in order for him to be able to move back in?
figured it out. c:

If I change my town hall to the zen theme, can I switch it to a different theme later on?

I know with the train station you can, so I don't see why not with town hall. Although not 100% sure as I havent tried it myself, sorry. D:

I just wondered because Isabelle gave the 'once it's built this pwp can't be demolished' speech. I just don't want to be stuck with it if I end up not liking it.
 
Just a quick gardening question,
What is the best combination for breeding pink and purple roses?
I know several combinations that work, but I would like to know the one with the highest probability of getting a hybrid. :D:D
Thanks for any suggestions!! :D:D

Well, pink and pink is definitely the best. but if you don't have any at all, red and white.
