• Guest, can you feel the love in the air? Valentine's Week at The Bell Tree has begun with a new mini-event featuring four activities to enjoy -- new and returning collectibles are up for grabs! Dive in to the love here.

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

Sorry if this has been asked; but this thread has sooo many pages ;; If I want a villager to move in a certain spot, can I place paths where I don't want them to go? Or do I still need to plot reset? (My cartridge updated to WA)
 
I haven't tried, but the recent thread "IT DIDN'T WORK!!" gets in depth with the house placement mechanics. It sounds like pattern control is generally reliable but you need to map out 16x16 acres and make sure there aren't already 3 houses in the desired acre. Use the new character trick for safety anyway.
 
I have a question:

Are voids still around after the amiibo update? I have one villager who was voided right after i visited a ten villager town. Does the voided villager move in a town with 9 villagers?

Yes, voided villagers still exist. If you connect with anyone who doesn't have a full town, either over StreetPass or by playing with them, if they don't already have someone moving in, the voided villager will move into their town.
 
I wanna make sure I'm doing this right before I bother start doing any further landscaping. I would love to put four houses along a line here, evenly spaced out due to acreage problems I've been reading about. However, I also don't know if I'm setting up these plots too close to each other, train tracks or anything else (there is also a rock ;;; ).

There's going to be two houses next to each other with a little nature area between the four. So two, park, two, if that makes sense. c': I'm rambling.

Let me know if I need to add more pictures or information!! I really need to make this look good. ;;;

Aha, my mom's helped me figure out a bit of a problem with this post as well! From what I can tell, it's two 'blocks' away from my train tracks and then the right most plot is also two 'blocks' away from a rock. If that makes any sense. So, there's three blocks between the two houses, and two in between the train tracks and a rock. In my head, it should work just fine, but I really want someone's experienced opinion on this.

I have a probably dumb question about streetpassing. I have two towns on 2 different 3ds handhelds. I always try to leave animal crossing as the last played game on both so they can streepass each other in sleep mode. I've gotten the bronze streetpass badge for both mayors & I'm pretty close to silver.

But I've been thinking about getting a 3rds 3DS and a third copy of Animal Crossing, both because I'd kind of like a third town, and so I could build up the streetpass badges faster. Here's the dumb question. The Nintendo Selects version of Animal Crossing is the newer version of the game, officially called Animal Crossing Welcome Amiibo. Do the streetpasses still count towards the badge if the older Animal Crossing New Leaf & Animal Crossing Welcome Amiibo games streetpass? (As long as NL has the amiibo update of course, which both my current towns do).

They're the same game, just with different packaging, so yes, it should work fine, I think.

That should work fine, I think, going by the picture. I may have had a villager house that close to the train tracks, but it was a bad spot and I already changed the area after forcing them out, so I can't confirm it'll work for villager houses. However, I do have my campsite one tile away from the tracks, and at least one PWP that is one tile away from a rock, and PWPs are usually more finicky, from what I know.

Hi, I'm totally new to this and everything, but my bestie really wants the pink wetsuit. I so want to get it for her. I go to the island daily and I'm not a member of Club Tortimer. Anyway, do I have to be a CT member to get the pink wetsuit? Also, how much does it cost? 48 medals? I'm just desperate to get it! :p I'm willing to pay/trade something for it too if anyone has one. Give a price/what you want and I'll try to do it. Thanks! <3

Nope! You don't have to be a member. Club Tortimer is only for online matchmaking, visiting random islands, etc. It will appear occasionally. Just keep checking. You might be able to buy one off of somebody, but you are asking in the wrong sub-forum. Go tothis link and ask again! Good luck!
 
Hello! Does anybody know if amiibo/card villagers are able to move out on their own?
I have several Zelda amiibo and amiibo card villagers in my town, and it's time to change things up a bit. I want new villagers to move in, but don't have their cards to force these ones out-- and the ones that keep asking are non-card villagers.

So, is it possible or impossible for them to move out on their own?
 
The special amiibo characters such as the Zelda ones cannot move to another person's town.

Is it true that villagers of a shared personality to another in town are more likely to move, or is that an illusion caused by random selection?

I read that if you have a mix of amiibo and non-amiibo villagers, it'll be hard to get the amiibos to move without using other cards to force them out. If you really don't want them anymore and don't have the cards of the villagers you want to substitute them with, I'd suggest time traveling to try and get them to ping, as it could take IRL months or even years.

I believe it's all random, never heard of such a thing.
 
I sent Rudy a Gracie tank in a letter, and then went to visit him a few days later. He's now wearing the tank while also simultaneously displaying it in his house - has anyone else had such a thing happen?? :D

Yeah, it can happen, but I believe he still needs to have two of them, of course - one to display, one to wear - so I assume he already had one on display.
 
I know tarantula's are supposed to be rare. But are there any secrets to making one appear?

What moonchu said. I would also scare away other insects to make the game spawn new ones. However, since it?s difficult and takes time to scare away/catch other insects, just going into a house or reloading the game should be much faster.
Otherwise, try to keep yourself busy. Do some other things and stay on the lookout for tarantulas. It?s only for your mind, but it will definitely feel faster if you don?t make spawning a tarantula your main goal.
 
Does anyone know if there are any house expansion guides that show what your home exterior looks like after each expansion? I've googled it every way I can think of and come up empty. I can literally find a guide for everything in ACNL except this.

I've decided I want to add a second character to my town. He'll be a farmer so I want his house to be relatively small, especially compared to my mayor who has the fully expanded mansion. But he needs at least 2 or 3 rooms to do everything I want. I'm thinking of just adding a 2nd floor and back room, but I don't know what that will look like on the outside.

And does expanding each room affect the outside or is it just each time you add a new room?

It's been far too long since I expanded my mayor's house and I wasn't paying close attention at the time.
