Ask AC:NL Questions here! (Please read before posting here or making a new thread!)

1) Is it true that voided villagers will only force their way into others' town when both of the below criterias are met:
-Has at least 1 open slot.
-Visits to this town (or vice versa) that do not involve adopting a boxed up villager.

2) If someone comes to adopt a villager with 8 villagers in their town, will a voided villager move into that town on top of the boxed villager they invited?

3) Will a villager from the other town's void move into yours the next day after your adopted villager leaves?

Yes thye do

THANKS! another question, are hats and headgear different "premium item" categories? I've been trying to sell my royal crown at premium price to gain some extra bells but when ReTail had headgear on premium there was no increase :(
 
I'm thinking about doing the villager plot reset rick for my 10th one. Do I have to do it before 6am? :eek:

The rule is that you can't go on as your mayor after 6am or it'll lock the plot in place. Either wait until tomorrow and go in as a new character, set your 3DS clock to any time tomorrow and go in as a new character, or tell Isabelle it is 5:58am tomorrow, save and quit before it rolls over to 6am, and then go in as a new character. Typically, you're done quitting and saving and still have a minute or so to wait. Just wait five minutes to make sure it flipped over to 6am.

So before you save and quit, you have to wait for it to go past 6am? Then you can make the new character and all that? I'm completely new to this trick, so yeah, haha.
It will still work if I just wait until the day where the new villager will place their plot down, I start my game up AFTER 6am, and make a new character without going on my mayor, right?

Use a pre-existing character and TT to 5:58AM. (Or 5:59 or whatever, just as long as it's before 6) Save and quit immediately.

Wait at the title screen until it's past 6 ingame. A town autosaves at 6AM, so it's important you wait til past 6AM or else it will autosave the plot in a random place.

Make a new character. Scout out the town and, if you like where you find the plot, go through the whole getting a tent thing and save.



It will absolutely work if you just wait until a new day (after 6AM) naturally and make a new character to scout around. My friend does it this way. : D Just make sure to use a new character every time since going on with a mayor or other pre-existing character will cause the game to save as it loads up the town.
 
What Xanarcah said. You absolutely do not want to wait until after 6am to save or it's too late. The reason you go in a few minutes before 6 is because if you do it through Isabelle, you have to go into your game after she changes the clock. If you don't have any reason not to, you might just use your 3DS clock to be safe. Just be sure you don't go into the game as mayor any time after 5:59 am or the plot is locked in. And, to reiterate, you just quit without saving (as the new character) if you don't like the plot location by hitting the Home button and closing Animal Crossing. Then, go back in as a new character until you do like the plot.

If it sounds complicated, it will be easy once you do it a couple of times.

Haha yeah, it does sound a bit confusing at first.
So don't ever go into your mayor on the day that the villager is placing down their plot after 6am?
The in-game clock also changes after you change your 3ds time, yes?

- - - Post Merge - - -

Also, how many days does it take a camper that you invited to move in to place down their plot? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, haha.
Lol, I'm just paranoid that my town will be ruined by some random villager's house placement.

Don't use your mayor or any other pre-existing character. Any pre-existing character will save the town as it loads up. Only brand new characters don't save automatically.

The ingame clock is tied to the 3DS clock, so yes, any changes to the 3DS clock will be reflected ingame.

It takes 2 days for a camper to move (so not the day after you invite them, but the day after that). They might be delayed by a day or two if someone else is moving in/out around the same time, though.


It's a totally valid fear, by the way. xD; I once derped on the "how many days does it take a villager from another town/campsite" thing and now Erik is planted right in frontof my house/Retail...

Is it normal if you do everything else correct but the villager's placement will be stubborn and won't move somewhere else on your 2nd try or whatever? 'Cause I think I read somewhere about that happening. If so, do you just keep repeating the process until they finally move to another spot?
