Is it possible for a villager to forget about a time capsule if something like a flower spawns where it was buried? I feel like Miranda's time capsule is taking longer than Kiki's did.

According to the wiki, putting anything on the space where the time capsule was buried will lead to it being removed.

Really? I ended up changing the landscaping behind Peanut's house.. covering where I buried it with plants, trees & paths, and then I was shocked when she asked for the time capsule & found out it was moved to a different location but still near her house.
 
Hey there, I had a few questions about grass deterioration. I have been playing without time traveling, but the grass in my town is deteriorating at a pretty rapid rate. It feels like it has rained for at least two straight weeks and I have tried to grow a ton of flowers in the dirt patches.

Even still, the town is looking pretty worn down. I am not hugely fond of the way that paths look--but maybe I just haven't found the right one(s)--and so I am thinking about the implication of time traveling to repair. My understanding is that if I time travel to "yesterday," I would actually be traveling 364 days. Then if I traveled one more day back to "today," the grass would likely be repaired.

What are the implications of this, otherwise? Will my townsfolk all move out? I presume I'll collect a bunch of mail for missed holidays? What else would I have to consider, and will it ruin my non-time travel experience if the only thing I am looking to gain is fervent grass? I don't really care about the villagers cycling out, in theory.

Full disclosure...I have T.I.Y. but have not yet seen Gracie to do any checks and get the Emporium yet. I think that is the only thing on Main Street that could be affected.

Thanks for the consults!

When you time travel backwards, I'm pretty sure it always counts as 1 day no matter how far back you go. It's just forward that counts days.

As far as moving... honestly, who really knows. I started playing AC again about a week ago. I had a town that I hadn't touched for 4 years and not a single villager had moved out in that timeframe. I had another town that I hadn't touched in over a year and not a single villager had moved out. When villagers move doesn't seem to ever be consistent.
 
Hi guys,
Just wondering if the last villager (10th villager) that moved into your town can be the next move-out? Or do I need to move someone else out first before the newest villager will ask to leave?

It can move out, but I head it's extremely rare. I myself never had the 10th villager ping to move, but I've heard of people who had their 10th ping 2 days after unboxing. So, i you really want them and only them out without the use of amiibo cards, I'd suggest time travel or you might have to wait years. :)
 
Has anybody ever tried giving a villager a villager picture? I've found a way to do it by sending them the picture via letters, but I wanna know if they'll actually put it in their house?

They can put it on their house! I've seen a screenshot of someone who gave their Chrissy a Francine's pic and she displayed it :)
It seems that later she said she was so over the pic and she wanted some good furniture to replace it, though. >v<
 
If I save my QR paths in storage, and replace my current patterns with new ones, will they no longer be displayed in town?

The ones appearing in town will be the ones you substituted. Example: lay flower 1 on the floor, go to Able Sisters and store flower 1 and put flower 2 on the same pattern slot. When you come back to town, the tile in which you laid flower 1 will now have flower 2 instead. :)

Okay, thanks for explaining that. :) Much appreciated!

I thought the same as you, because I forgot more than half of the stuff I had on my mind for my town after a year. But in the end, I changed a bunch of stuff and it worked out. I doubt it could end up being anything better if I continued my old plans at the time. So I'd suggest you to try for at least 2 weeks before resetting

I agree, give it a try before you restart. If you have out a lot of work into a town it's best to be really sure so you don't regret starting again.

If you have not played for a while did you know that Nook will buy your town from you if you restart since the update?
 
On Valentine's day, does Brewster serve hot chocolate to go? Or does he only serve it when you sit down?

I recall that you have to sit down at Brewster's Caf? (The Roost) to get hot chocolate on Valentine's day.

So, an old townswoman, Flo, keeps showing up on my Main Street. Weeks in a row. Is this normal?

Yes, it is normal.

It's very normal. The last 16 villagers that moved out of your town will randomly appear on main street, and will NOT be able to move back in until they are out of that "cycle".

So for example, if Kyle was the last person to move out of your town, even if you were able to go to someone else's town where Kyle was in boxes, you would not be able to invite Kyle to move into your town until you had moved him out of the cycle. (By having 16 villagers move out of your town after him.)
