As long as you checked the villager's house after the Tumblr user left (after the WiFi session is ended) and it says, "Moved Out," it's fine to time travel back to today! The message won't technically be there, since the villager's house will be gone. But the villager should move into the Tumblr user's town just fine. The villager has already been convinced, and the other game already has the villager's data.

TTing backwards any amount of time (other than minutes or hours within the same day), counts as one day forward. The message and Prince's house will be gone, and yes, he will still go to the other user's town. Basically once the house says "Moved Out," you're free to do as you please.

Thanks truly a lot for your answers, it'll help me a lot! Just a last one to finish this for all.

Does this villager, once the message "Moved out" settles up, be somehow "reserved" to the other user? What I mean is, if somebody else tries to get my villager on his actual moving date, will they succeed? And what if my villager decides to stay in town, does this means that the other user will get a... "copy" of my villager?

Sorry if this is confusing, hAH,,,

Mm, I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, so please let me know if I didn't answer it properly. I can clarify if it doesn't make sense to you as well.

Yes, the "Moved Out" message means that it's reserved to whoever caused that message to occur. If someone else came to your town on the same day, they'd see the same exact "Moved Out" sign and wouldn't be able to go in, just like you.

By "actual moving date," do you mean the April 30th you'll see once you time travel back to today and experience normally on April 30th in the real-world time? If you've already time traveled to the villager's moving day, that in-game date is their moving date. If you travel back to April 27th/today, one day is considered to have passed in-game time, and the house won't be there as the villager moved out. When you reach April 30th normally, it'll just be a regular day since the villager is long-gone.

I'm not sure what you mean by if your villager decides to stay in town, either. If your villager refused to move into the other user's town, they'd still be long gone if you time travel to today, and then move forward normally to April 30th. Even though you are going from April 30th to April 27th, that counts as passing one day in the game, so your villager would still be gone.

Heh, sorry for making this so confusing, I tend to ending up doing that...

But anyway, I get what you're saying. Just like you said, once the message "Moved out" shows up, I'm really pretty much free to do, well, whatever I want to, not having to worry about him anymore.

Thank you again, Gena!

Ah, don't worry about it. Sorry if my explanation is a little confusing, too. Once you get into time traveling, it's a little hard to explain how time works in relation to the game time and real-world time, haha.

And no problem! The only way the villager won't make it is if the other Tumblr user does something, like try to adopt two villagers on the same day. It's out of your hands now.

Okay so someone is planning to move out in a few days and I agreed to it. But I also have someone in my camp that I really want, will they move in even though someone is moving out? I'm kind of confused with the whole camper can't move in when someone is moving -- not sure in or out or both so I just want to clarify. Thank you.

I only have 9 villagers at the moment (will be 8 when this one moves out).

Since you only have 9 villagers at the moment, the camper will move in without any problems. The camper wouldn't have been able to move in if you currently had 10 villagers. What people mean when they say "a camper can't move in when someone is moving" is that when you have 10 villagers, a villager that is about to move (in boxes) still counts as a 10th villager, thus making it impossible to invite a camper to move into your town.

Simply said, you can't invite a camper when you have 10 villagers, even if one of your villagers is in boxes and about to move. But since you have only 9, you have nothing to worry about!

What's more effective to breed pink roses? Pink and pink, or red and white?

 

[Campy]

What's more effective to breed pink roses? Pink and pink, or red and white?

I believe that using two hybrids to produce more of that same hybrid is always the most effective way. From my own experience, I can say that this definitely works best! If it's sunny and you only water a group of pink roses, there's a really high chance you'll have more tomorrow. Kind of depends on what flowers your other villagers water.

 

[FraudulentDimetrodon]

Technically Pink x Pink, but if you're just starting out in breeding hybrids, you'd only have Red x White unless you were given Pink Roses by someone else. If you have Pink Roses, use them, but Red x White works well, too.

I dunno if this has been asked before, as I am a very lazy person and didn't feel like looking through all the search results, but can anyone explain why in my ACNL game, all of the villagers that move in move around my house? My house is in the top-right section of the map and there are currently 6 animal houses around it. I've only had about 4 other villagers total that have not had their houses around my mayor's house. They completely ignore my other, normal villager's house, and they all swarm towards my mayor D:
I'll take a picture of my map:

Now, granted, some of them aren't right on top of my house, but it's pretty packed up there. I kinda wanna reset to see if it's just a strange coincidence or not, but I've gotten so far in my game ._.
Also, I've had numerous other animals move in by my house, but I didn't like them so I made them move out.

From what the majority of players have experienced, it's my belief that villagers tend to place their houses near pre-existing buildings. You're not the only one, I can assure you.

EDIT: The one in the top right-most corner looks to be in a particularly obnoxious spot, hiding your beach ramp. D:

 

[nammie]

I'm not sure it's so much the fact that villagers seem to love plopping their houses by pre-existing houses (though it might be the case.... they wanna be near you or something?? lol), but I think when you create a town theres just sections villagers are more predisposed to wanna live in. i.e. almost all my villagers tried at some point during my plot resetting to live in the same bottom half section of my town... and when I created my town most of the villagers were down there as well.

I had planned to surround my house with fruit trees but my villagers had a different idea >_> Evil little buggers.
That's Boomer's house, and he doesn't actually block the ramp, thank goodness. There's a little teeny-tiny spot I can slip through to get to it. I would've had a heart attack if he was actually in the way v.v

That's kinda funny, because when I created my town, most of my villagers were in the top-left section. There weren't any in the top-right. But now, as you can see, the entire top left section is completely abandoned. It's currently my pear orchard. Actually, my left area in general is pretty empty, except for Kitty's house and my second villager I use to get people out of my town. And no one wants to live by my second character either.

Maybe since my house is so large it has a greater gravity and pulls the other houses towards it D:




Whatever the cause, it's really irritating. I wish it would've been more like, you get a notification for when an animal is moving in, and you can select where you want their houses to be. That would've gone along with the mayor theme a lot better, in my opinion. Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to deal with my creepy stalker animals for now. Thanks for the help c:

Bred my first secondary red rose! If i get another, can i breed the two secondary reds to make more secondary reds, then use those offspring to get blue roses? Or can you only get blue roses from purple/orange secondary reds? Sorry, hope this makes sense!

Also, do Jacob's ladders wither if you plant them on the beach? Thanks!

YEAH! Congrats on the Hybrid Red Roses! I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, so please let me know if I didn't answer it correctly. Yes, you can breed two Hybrid Red Roses to make more Hybrid Red Roses, which can all be used to get Blue Roses. It doesn't matter if a Hybrid Red Rose comes from other Hybrid Red Roses or from Purple x Orange.

I hope that makes sense! I can clarify if it didn't.

Jacob's Ladders can be planted on the beach like any other flower. They'll only wither if they don't get watered (unless you're on Beautiful Town Ordinance).

 

[IndiaHawker]

Thank you! Yeah that made perfect sense - so basically, once i get two hybrid red roses it'll be a lot easier for me to breed them!

Thanks for helping, thankfully i do have the beautiful ordinance

Has anyone else had issues with the "sick villager" favor? Everytime I have a sick villager, I always give them medicine immediately and everyday following until they get better. However, twice now, I haven't been given a reward for doing so. Both of them happened with my Lazy villagers (Zucker and Benedict). I don't get the little chime that plays when you complete a favor. I don't get a reward. I don't even get recognition for it. The first day I see them cured, when I talk to them, they don't even start the whole, "Thanks for taking care of me!" dialogue. They just talk normally and give me new favors.

I don't time travel or give them medicine with any of my alternative characters. Does anyone know what's going on?
