Can I move back in old neighbors from other towns except they don't know me at all?
 
Like for example, I had 16 villagers move out, and I can move him back in?
 
Yes you can move the villager back in. Will they know you? Im not exactly sure, especially if it is specifcally the same villager you lost.

yup! i suggest keeping a list in your game notes (or somewhere else, i just use the 3ds game notes) of every villager that's moved out after the specific villager you want to get back. that way, when it reaches 16, you'll know!

no, they won't remember you. the only exception is if they moved to your friend's town and you've talked with them there, but i'm not sure if they'd remember that, and they definitely wouldn't remember living in your town
 
Why did a get a person in my Showcase but not in my mii plaza? All my 3DS haven't left the house in months. We don't leave near any Wifi spots.
I've been tagging myself 2 times a day and try to check the plaza every day for the free items. All the 3DS found this person in my showcase but not in the mii plaza. Tagged the 3DS again and he showed up again. This time he had a gift for one of the players.

Is the person using a home streetpass? If so why didn't I get a tag in my mii plaza. If he's just showing up in my showcase I don't see the point of letting him stay since it's not showing up in my mii plaza that counts for the tag.

This could be that the person has turned off streetpass for Miiplaza, but left it on for their games. Fairly common. When I go to Best Buy I get a lot of game street passes but not many for the actual mii plaza. Trying to collect those pink pieces is a hassle with folks that do this lol.
 
how close can a villager's house be to the plazas cobblestone and the river? is two spaces enough?

I don't remember the exact distance a house has to be away from the plaza, but it has to be at least about 3-4 spaces away for some reason. A house can be one space away from the river if the side or back of the house is facing the river and two spaces away from the river if the front is facing the river because of the entrance space. You can test with a PWP like the fountain if you are unsure.

I recently started my second town and have a villager unpacking today, so she will be fully unpacked tomorrow. When should I expect my next random move-in (the one unpacking today is my sixth villager so I have well under nine), as I am hoping to possibly plot reset to get a specific villager?

Also, if I plot reset for the sake of getting a specific villager, will the personality always be the same? (For example, I really want Kidd who is a smug, and I currently have no smugs or uchis. If the first random move-in is an uchi, will all of the plot resets be uchis, or is there a chance of me getting smugs because I have no smugs yet?)
 
I just started a new town today and I have a villager in boxes in my main town. If I ask them to move in will they be cancelled out with a random? or?

Try doing plot reset the day after tomorrow. If there is no villager plot, repeat the next day. I believe it can take up to 3 possible days for a villager to move in?

The villager is already determined, unlike the plot space, so the villager doesn't change.

well thats what i heard but i swear once my villager changed
 
If you plot reset, the villager will change every time (as long as you don't mess up and load it with an existing character). If the first one you see is an uchi, that doesn't mean the next one will be.

Now, when resetting in the hopes of getting a specific character, you can't also choose where their plot will be, naturally. :)

Ah, thanks for correcting me.
 
I'm decorating my beach with Earth (rock ones) eggs but I can't seems to get any to respond on Bunny Day. Is there something I'm missing? For the recorded I tried timetraveling back and then one day forward with no luck

Do you mean you can't get any eggs to spawn on Bunny Day? Maybe the eggs you are using to decorate with are taking up space of the eggs that could spawn? :eek:

I remember someone saying that you have to TT to Easter in another year to get the earth, tree, and stone eggs to re-spawn. I think each character has separate rocks for getting Easter eggs if I remember correctly, so you could try creating a new character if you don't have 4 already and see if that works.
 
If you talk to to a villager so much that he/she gets annoyed, how low does it lower your friendship?

I don't know if it lowers their friendship in ACNL. They don't really get annoyed, they just act like they are too busy to talk.
