Aah, small question... Is it normal to not have a wetsuit at this stage of the game (currently I just have Shampoodle opened en Super T&T is being build)?

Ever since the island opened I've been going there every single day, but there has never been a wetsuit for sale! Seriously! Is this normal or do I have to look elsewhere? >< which will be hard since I can't connect to internet in my current location, for a month...

I guess you're just getting really unlucky. since the island selection is random. Though there are some wetsuits that are rare, the basic one is just a regular item and should show up sooner or later.

I'd offer you one if I could! Although by the time you get access to the Internet, you'll probably see it on your island.

 

[Melyora]

Yay, unlucky me >_< Just please show up sometime soon, wetsuit.

Thank you for the offer! ANd you're probably right, unless my un-luck continues, and then I'll get back to you!

What do you have to do with time travelling to get letters in the post? I've been trying to get an extra bunch of pink carnations so that I can start breeding them. I set the clock back to Mother's Day 8:55am, saved the game and exited and waited for 9:01am, went into the game, but there was nothing in my letter box (also tried pushing it forward to 4:55pm too, just in case - still nothing). Have you got to have the announcement on the notice board that comes x days before to trigger the letter from "your mum" being sent?

Hello! I just had a question about villagers and moving. So today I had eight villagers in my town, and Maple pinged me to move out! Is that even possible? I was really confused. Before I did that, I talked to a new villager to move into my town, but it wasn't like they had moved in or anything. Their house plot wasn't even there yet. I know that this contradicts many thoughts and what many people have published to cycling guides, etc, so maybe we should try to get the word out that this happened? Maybe if people were losing the villagers that they wanted to keep, this was how they lost them? I'm not too sure. Anyways, has anyone heard of this happening before?

Oops never mind!

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before but I probably couldn't find it but how do you get a villager to invite another villager to their house (and not for a birthday party)? Is it random or? I've been curious since I've seen pictures of this on Tumblr and a walkthrough video of each. I know it has to happen but I've been curious as to how/when it happens.

It's totally random. It's just like another "to do" thing for the villager asking (similar to asking you for a piece of fruit or to deliver something)

Is there a way to stop the flow of time in this game like say, when you don't turn your DS on for a few days/weeks?

I've accidentally taken a break from it, and I'm concerned for my town (weeds, villagers forgetting who I am, etc.)

The best thing you can do is open the activity log on your 3DS menu and see the last day you played. Then, tell Isabelle to set the clock to that day and go in and then slowly move forward.

 

[Melyora]

Quick question! Can multiple villagers ask to move on the same day? Or is it limited to one move-request per day, if you tell them to stay?

 

[Ropera]

Does anybody know a good way to get villagers to move out without time traveling or is it just random?I was checking to see if any unwanted villagers moved in on a second save file and I didn't see any so I went to my regular one.Then I saw that Boomer made a plot right in the middle of the park I was building.If I introduce myself it him and then ignore him will that work?

There will always be one villager who will be thinking about leaving.
You should get a ping from them around 3-4 days or so. This can be altered if there are any events, so if you feel a bit paranoid, talk to each of your villagers to see if they will mention a rumour about someone leaving

That's what I heard as well, you should introduce yourself to him, then ignore him for a week. By the end of the week, he should ping c:

Hmmm, not exactly the answer I'm looking for =) I mean, let's say Fang pinged me today (did happen this morning) announcing he wanted to leave, and I told him to stay, is there a chance another villager will ping to leave as well today? Or can only one villager per day give a leaving-ping?

I always talk to every villager every day (except for Beau one day cause I could find him nowhere! O_O panic!) and until now I've always found the person who pinged me to leave, or no one pinged me and there were no rumors.
Nobody left yet, although I want some to move on not looking at you Fang, you may want to, very often, but you will not go.

Only one villager should want to move at a time. I have never had multiple move out pings in a day.
I have had villagers ask to move on consecutive days though.

Okay, thank you! ^__^

Last painting ... what am I missing??

 

[leenaby]

So this question has been tugging at me ever since I've heard about it but there's been no answer or I haven't found one. So the day that the villagers are in boxes and on the day they MOVE OUT, how long will they be in boxes before they are voided?

As long as you stay on the same day. I've kept a villager in boxes for 3 real-life days by TTing the time back to 6AM. To be safe, I always TTed before it hit 12AM the next day.

 

[leenaby]

Thank you so much for your answers! I'll try and see if that works since I'm working on a trade!
