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?

I have heard that 10th villagers are notoriously difficult, if not downright impossible, to move out. Your best bet would probably be to either kick them out with an Amiibo villager or let another villager move out so you can get a new 10th villager to move in. Once you have a new 10th villager, it will still be random as far as who decides to move, but you'll probably find it a lot easier to get that villager out.

I have a question about Public Works. In the wiki, it is said that we can "add a building or improve a building already existing" (source: https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Works_Projects). I need a precision for the "upgrading". Does it mean that we can "change" a project without the need of destructing it in the first place? For instance, I built a yellow bench, but my villager introduces me the zen bench ; can I decide to replace the yellow bench with the zen bench, without waiting one day of destruction?

No, you would have to demolish the yellow bench and then build the zen bench the next day. What it probably means by improving or upgrading is that you can unlock options to renovate your Town Hall and Train Station.

You unlock the Town Hall renovations by getting a perfect town rating. You unlock the Train Station renovations by having at least 100 visitors to your town, but they have to come via the train (dream visits don't count).

Thank you for your answer. I have an other question, but this time about the villagers. I'm trying to get the Instrument Shelter, and I have two Jock villagers. I know the technique to "reset" our villagers, but since they always move everywhere, I spend most of the time looking for them, avoiding those I don't want to speak to. So I decided to dig holes around the one I want, but is it going to "annoy" him? Like, is he going to feel depressed or angry, as if we hit him with the bug net?

nope as long as you don’t make them fall into a pitfall you are fine

What exactly upsets your villagers? Like, will they be sad and not like me anymore if I refuse to go to another town for signatures etc? Is there a list of this somewhere?

Mostly I don't have any other town to go to to get signatures (and they always ask so late!) and I feel so bad saying no, but I don't have any other option. Will they dislike me for it?/Will it hurt the friendship?

What about bug catching and stuff? Sometimes they ask for a wharf roach etc and I don't really want them to fill their home with all this nonsense, but at the same time I feel bad for saying now, unsure if it will damage our friendship.

Does anyone have a "complete" list of what upsets them and what I can say NO to as many times as I like??

Hello!
I'm wondering if I can play Online with someone playing AC:NL Welcome Amiibo if my game is just New Leaf?

Hello!

Hola!

"Welcome Amiibo" is just an update you can download in the 3DS shop for free if you have New Leaf. It was a new version of New Leaf that came out with Amiibo cards and Amiibo figurines of the Animal Crossing characters, and it gave you access to the RVs. If you have access to the RV in your town, then you do have the Amiibo update, so yes, you can play with people who have this "new version" of the game.

I have a question about the villagers and the Amiibo cards, btw.
I know that the Amiibo cards allow you to bring a certain villager in your campsite, and then you can tell him/her to move in. According to what I read, you also have to chose the villager who will be replaced by the Amiibo villager. I have a dreamlist but I don't have the Amiibo-detecting tool, and I don't have any Amiibo card either because in France it's very expensive -- about $11 for 3 cards. So my question is : if a TBT member has the Amiibo card of one of my dreamies, can I go to his campsite to ask the villager to move in my town?

From what I know, it is only random, you can't truly decide who will go out and when. Bullying the villagers doesn't seem to work efficiently enough to be considered a viable option. Complaining to Isabelle just resets their surnames and their expressions, so it's useless... The best way I know is : you ignore him, praying for him to leave soon enough. It's all about luck, patience and pure randomness...

Unfortunately, I think the problem is that he's your 10th villager. I'm not sure if it's impossible or just very rare for 10th villagers to ping to move out, but if you have anyone else that you would be willing to let go and move in a new 10th villager, he should be more likely to move. The only other fool-proof way to get rid of him would be with an Amiibo card, but the Amiibo villager would also be very unlikely to ever move so you'd have to be sure it was someone you wanted.

OMG is that why? :/ i understand its random and you need patience but i never seen anything like this before where the villager never even pinged me once for 2 years. i mean for even anything. now it makes sense that its because hes the 10th villager. its a shame because i have all my "dreamies" besides him. thanks a lot for solving this annoying conundrum for me ;-;

Greetings! I have a question about the bushes. I'd like to make some paths in my town, with bushes as "fences". I barely know the "rule of the 12", but I'd like to know how to make long bushes lines. Can a flower between two twelve-bushes-lines prevent the dead saplings? I'm not talking about trees, this is pure theory based on bushes and flowers only.

Yes, that should work. You can have 12 bushes in a row and then all you need is one open space between them to start another row of 12 bushes. You can fill in that one space gap with a flower and it will be fine. You just can't plant anything that you can't walk through in that space, like a tree, stump, bamboo or another bush.

Greetings, everyone. I have a question about Gracie. I read somewhere that we shall spend 70k Bells in TIY in order to make her come in our town. I just had the TIY yesterday, and today I had the throne. Since the throne costs 800k, will she come each week from now on, or do I have to spend another 70k to meet her the next week?

I believe you should be good since you just bought the throne.

Not sure if this has been answered here before, but how many villagers can be in Club LOL at once? I have been seeing 3 in the club regularly this past week, and am wondering if there is a limit? It has been nice to see the club being used and not poor K.K Slider playing for an empty room.

 

[LadyDestani]

I'm not sure what the limit is but I don't think I've ever seen more than 3 villagers in the club either. For K.K. Slider's performances on Saturday, the most I've ever seen is 2 of my past villagers attending his show.

Thanks. I wish they would allow for it to fill up with 8-10 villagers or something to get a more authentic energetic "club" vibe, but 3 is better than none.
