No, so if you want to place someone there, just smash it or TT and reset so that it'll move to another spot.

I just started doing online stuff with AC:NL and I am still very fuzzy on how villager trading/adopting/etc works. Can someone please explain the basics (or direct me to a good overview)? I have played New Leaf almost daily for years but I have never done anything involving the internet until now.
welcome to a whole new world.
every forum is different with villager trading.
here is the basics of the villager trading plaza.
usually when you do your first villager trade/sell/buy/giveaway the other person may be able to help you with the way it goes, because everyone has their own ways.
if you look at cycling threads, for example, they will explain their rules.
basically you add each other's friend code, go to the town who has the villager for adoption, adopt that villager, then pay.
with in game bells, some users prefer you drop it. others prefer the retail method. retail method explained here.
the great thing about these forums is it has it's own "currency". so when a villager is worth 15mil in game bells, they're also worth "tbt" (our currency) as an alternative. tbt is super easy to transfer and a lot of users here prefer it.
however, some still want in game bells! so it really all depends.

Thanks for your reply! So I'm still not sure what it means to adopt a villager. How do you adopt a villager? What conditions are necessary for that to happen? Also, I did have someone explain to me the concept of "the void" but I don't completely understand that yet either.
Basically I didn't even know that you can control which villagers you have in your town until yesterday.
You can adopt a villager if your town isn't full. So 9 or less villagers.
The villager trading plaza will have threads selling/giving away villagers. Theres like a million cycling threads, so look out for those and if you see a villager you want, you can possibly adopt them once they are in boxes (moving out).
here is an amazing guide explaining the void.
You can adopt villagers by going to someone's town when their villager is in boxes (that means on the day before the villager moves out when all the items in their house are packed into boxes) and talking to that villager. If your town isn't full, you get a dialogue option to invite that villager to your town once they move out.
People have different rules about how adopting/trading villagers works but if you have any questions, just ask them and they'll help you.
When villagers move out but aren't adopted, they end up in your void. This means you can pass them on to towns that have a free spot through wifi or SP. You can pick up someone's voided villagers that way too. Not everyone minds this but some people don't like it, so it's common courtesy to try to clear your void or to warn people if you have any voided villagers. To clear your void, just go to a full town. I've read here before that you can't actually clear your void but that's worth doing. A lot of people make sure to adopt out their villagers so they don't have to worry about the void.
You can't completely control which villagers you get. You can adopt villagers from other people or from your town's campsite but you can get random move-ins and you have to be careful so your villagers won't move out on you.
~if that villager is in boxes now and you tt back, he/she will be gone
I have a problem. I had someone drop their void into my town but the villager hasn't plotted yet. Today I got Rosie in my campsite and she gave me the option of telling her to move to my town. Does this mean that the void won't plot in my town, since I can invite others to come live there?
It depends. Voided villagers can take a couple of days to show up so you're able to invite someone else before that villager plots. If you don't, that villager can still move in.
♥ Hello everyone who is reading this,
I got a newbie question about landscaping.
Can we plant a tree right beside a bush? Or we have to leave a space like planting a tree beside another tree?
Thanks in advance c: ♥

College. Sucks.
You can plant trees right next to bushes, just like you can plant bushes next to bushes. I believe there's a limit to how many can be in a row, but I don't know what that is off the top of my head
♥ Ok, thanks for your reply!
I just want to be sure before planting some saplings c: ♥

I can never seem to remember - when you have a villager in your void, does another player get them (if they do) by coming to YOUR town, or do they get it by you going to THEIR town?

If by reset you mean start your whole town over from scratch (new map), then yes they can.

I've never heard of this making a difference, as far as I know visiting AND having a visitor means you can picking up a voided villager.
o.o I thought there was a difference. It's when you visit a town you drop off your void (villagers you had in boxes and move out).
That's just what I've read on guides though, and I've never picked up someones void by visiting other towns.
Question.. I invited lolly a couple days ago. and regret it. I really should've kept all the temporary PWP's I had for plot resetting but I demolished them.
If I go back to the day I invited lolly, and invite someone else (a filler, pretty much) to give me time to build a dozen or so PWP's.. Will I be able to invite Lolly again soon? She technically wouldn't count as a "villager" since I haven't saved her plot yet, right?
