It's the one on the end. Should I just replant that one? I planted it first.

Unfortunately, if you keep trying to replant it without changing anything, it will just keep wilting. You might need to dig up some of the other bushes and try again, or if you have trees in the same area chop one or two of them down to plant the bushes first and then replant the trees. It's kind of a trial and error process for me. I've had it happen a few times and I just kept clearing out the area and retrying things until I finally found a pattern that allowed everything to grow.

They are region free, I have Japanese Sanrio cards and I use them on my NA 3DS.
I think it's the same with the Switch.

You know...I've seen the word 'Dreamies' or 'Dream Villagers' here and there, but I've no idea what it means. Perhaps someone can enlighten me?

Dreamies (or dream villagers) are villagers that people really like. It can be for different reasons, usually just that they really like that villager. People also get dreamies for town aesthetic/theme.

Someone else can prob explain it better, but from what I see it really boils down to a villager a person really likes (and wants to adopt).

That's very useful to know. Thanks a lot! Also, I'm sure it would've been summarized in a similar fashion.

Ok someone clear these for me please?
I have managed to collect 100 bells coin from threes and I have no idea how I should transfer them into actual bell you know into my wallet (or are these for something else)?

And also I have been digging fossils from the ground but I have gotten these Lloid looking items, are these used for something or just for bells?

Sorry dumb questions but I seriously have no clue.

In your inventory, you can drag the Bell coin to your Bell "wallet" (the number to the right of your character) and drop them on it, they should then add to your total. You can also add them to your bank account via the ABD machine at the post office and making a deposit.

These items are Gyroids (Lloid is a Gyroid), strange objects that can be sold or placed in your home like furniture. Each one has a unique sound they make. They even "play" in time to any music in your home. You can also take them to Dr. Shrunk's Club when it is unlocked and switch out the ones onstage!

In addition to what Colette said, gyroids only appear in the ground the day after it either rains or snows in your town. You can find 3 on those days along with the usual 4 fossils. Other days, only the fossils will appear.

I'm trying to cycle in my ideal villagers via amiibo cards but hitting a small problem.

I have 9 villagers. Most, I think, are standard amiibo card villagers, and there might be one or two random move-ins. I don't have room to place a 10th without ruining some landscaping, so I cannot scan in an amiibo villager to prompt the "kick out x villager" option.

Do amiibo villagers ask to move out if your town isn't maxed out at ten? I'm concerned that all my current villagers were amiibo scans and they won't go anywhere until there are 10 villagers.

I'm not sure what you exactly mean by standard amiibo card villager, but in my time travelling town, those who moved in through amiibo cards pinged me for moving out like villagers who you get from the system/campsite/adoption from others' town, when, 8 out of 10 or 6 out of 9 are through amiibo scanning in.

I hope I'm posting in the right place, but I'm trying to fill up my encyclopedia and I'm having trouble catching a salmon and a king salmon. It's September 9th in my game and I've tried fishing at the waterfall and below the other waterfall but no shadows spawn. I also read they're easier to catch at 9 PM but there were still no shadows. Can anyone please give me advice?

They should spawn at the bottom of your beach waterfall. Depending on the layout of your town, you may find it easier to fish from the cliff overlooking the waterfall or right on the beach itself. You can cast your line down into the basin from the cliff so either will work.

Sometimes the shadows are so far under the waterfall that they're practically hidden. Even if I didn't see a shadow, I would try casting my line out just to see if I got a bite. If you do this, make sure you have your sound up so you can hear if a fish starts nibbling.

If there's nothing at the bottom of the waterfall, you can save and continue to reset the spawns. Keep doing that until you find something. The king salmon is kind of rare, but you should be able to find a regular salmon using that method fairly quickly.

Good luck!

Stupid question about making multiple saves. Can anyone give me a rundown on what's gonna happen if you make more than one town??

1. Is it even possible to have more than one town?
2. Will I be able to send gifts between the towns or are they completely seperate entitites?
3. Are there any pros/cons to having multiple towns?

1. In New Leaf, you can have multiple towns but you need a new copy of the game for each town. You can have 1 digital copy per system and as many physical copies as you want.

2. Each town is completely separate so if you have them on the same system it is not possible to send gifts between the towns. However, if you have multiple systems, then you can visit and share items/villagers between the towns the same as you would with any other town when you open your gates.

3. I think there are a lot of pros to having multiple towns. I currently have two towns and for me, the pros are:
- Being able to have different themes and PWPs in each town
- Being able to have different villagers in each town
- Being able to trade items and villagers if you have multiple 3DS's
- Being able to visit between towns to work on badges and unlock the train station upgrades if you have multiple 3DS's
- Being able to check Re-Tail for the best turnip prices or premium items and sell in either town if you have multiple 3DS's
- Being able to streetpass if you have multiple 3DS's

The only con for me is the amount of time it takes to keep up with multiple towns. Sometimes I feel like I'm not giving my villagers as much attention and I rarely make trips out to the island anymore to relax because just doing my dailies in both towns takes up most of my playtime.

I've been stuck for around 3 years trying to kick out my 10th villager, but he has yet to move out. If I were to kick out one of my other villagers, would he finally decide to move out?
