How many days can you skip at a time? My game date is set at June 12th and i dont want to keep bumping it up a day until I make it todays current date

If you mean in order not to lose any villager you like, you can skip one day at a time until someone pings you and says they'll move. As soon as you say no, you can set the day to today, as the game can't decide who's going to move until you've loaded your town.
 
So can villagers just randomly spawn? This has never happened to me. Usually a camper will arrive and if I like them, I invite them to stay but I've never just turned on the game to see that a house is being reserved. I don't want Ken :( Does this just happen randomly and can I stop it???

Has someone moved out recently and that left you with 8 villagers? If so, yes, the game will send you a random move-in to make the number of villagers rise to 9 again. It can also happen that you've Streetpassed someone who had a villager move out recently, so you "adopted" it. Once the plot is set, you can't do anything, but you can time travel in order to kick him out.

awh dangit! Yeah, I just had a villager move out yesterday and this is a major bummer! Thank you for answering me!! have a great day! :)
 
Okay, so I have a question. Are villagers allowed to move closer to PWPs then you would naturally be able to place PWPs close to villagers?
I had a stone bridge that was my default bridge, and Julian moved right next to it, and I recently tore it down so I could replace it with another bridge, but it sorta looks like it's a little off to the side, but it's the very closest I could get. Is it possible that it's not letting me put the bridge back where the old one was even though it was no closer to Julian's house than the old one? I just have a lot of trees and paths that really rely on me being able to put the bridge in that place and I'd hate to have to replant them all again.

Unfortunately, if a villager moves really close to a bridge or other PWP and you tear it down, Isabelle will say that it is too close to said villager's house and won't let you place it in the same spot.

I had the same thing happen to me, courtesy of Francine.

It depends on the PWP. For bridges, yes definitely, as HopeForHyrule said. Be very careful on placing villager houses and bridges. I personally don't allow villagers to move close to my bridges for this reason. The amount of space they need to be away varies on the position of bridge (horizontal and vertical bridges have similar dimensions [at least 3-4 spaces surrounding them iirc] but are very different from diagonal bridges [often require more space]). It's kinda difficult to explain so I'm sorry if I'm confusing you with this. XD There's a few guides somewhere so I'd google a few to get an idea of how it works.

In your case, you'll have to replant your trees unfortunately. Villagers are allowed to move close to bridges. ;^;

For other PWPs, villagers will always be at least 2 spaces away. Villager homes have an invisible outline 1 space surrounding their home. Their door entrance adds an extra space (2 spaces). Depending on the PWP, you can place them close to villager homes. But like I said before, bridges seem to be the exception.

Hope that helped and good luck!
 
I need help with mushroom stumps.

I'm trying to line this particular section section of path with special tree stumps, but after cutting down three different crops of trees, I only have one special stump to show for it. Is there anything I can do besides keeping growing and cutting down trees? Anything I can do to stack the deck?

Have a silver axe
Every time a tree is cut by silver axe always a rare stump appear
 
I'm trying to get a Saddled Bichir since the start of August... I read somewhere that Saddled Bichir have the same shadows as Black Bass. Could anyone confirm this?

Yes but a bit thinner
But if I was you I would fish all black bass
 
That's what I'm doing!

Thank you so much. :blush:

I've caught exactly one saddled birchir, and it was pretty late at night. Also, I can't remember if the birchir is one of them, but some fish only swim in specific parts of the river. Which I didn't know when I started trying to fill my catalog XD

He like to be in the middle and. You never find close to the waterfall
The char you must fish him in the waterfall
 
I just want to ask something real quick just to clarify. Is it possible to get voided villagers via street pass? 'Cause I just street passed a few people with AC:NL today, so... I just want to make sure.

Yes that is one of the key features of Streetpass. Once your villager is in the void and you streetpass someone, you trade voided villagers.
 
Turnip questions!

1. Is there any way to mess up turnips besides time travelling, like leaving them on the ground overnight? (They just take up so much space in my inventory, I'd rather leave them out in front of Re-Tail until I can sell them)

2. So the stalk trader badges are goals like "Make 500,000,000 bells from the stalk market" or what not. Would that be 500,000,000 all at once, or just overall?
