When will a villager that has moved away from your town begin appearing on Main Street?

I can't remember but I think 2 or 3 have to move out after each before the next will begin to wander. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

What do people do when they place patterns on their plaza and they get erased by a special character (such as Redd)? Do they replace the patterns each time or do they work around the spot where the tents appear?

They can do either. It really depends if your willing to fix it each time or not. It bothers some people and doesn't others.

I used to have my whole plaza tiled but I hated fixing it. So now I just line the outside so I don't have to worry about it.

Just personal preference.

For me, it's always been after the fifth one has moved. The first mover begins appearing. Then, when a sixth moves, the second mover appears, etc. It's random who shows up each day once you have several of them.

Can I build a PWP two spaces away from a bridge?
IT would be something like this (b= bridge, x=space, p=pwp)

You can, yes. As one space would be bridge buffer and the second the PWP buffer. But please note! If you ever decide to replace the bridge with a different kind of bridge (fairy-tale, suspension, etc), you will need to destroy the PWP. Existing bridges have a smaller buffer than new bridges you are placing.

Edit: So if the PWP is a facility, such as the police station or cafe, you'll be unable to destroy it and therefore if you destroyed the bridge, unable to place the bridge back in the same spot.

If I plant a pitfall seed, will the daily random pitfall seed still spawn?

Nope!

Thanks for the reply! I always walk over every crack to try to take a bullet for my villagers, but now I'll plant one on the private beach or something to stop the madness!

Do villagers buy items from lost and found? Like even if they're items that you dropped and got destroyed by something and later showed up in the lost and found?

also, is there any way to tell which dirt patches are permanent without time travelling?

also, does grass still get destroyed if there's paths on top of it? I think I've heard conflicting things about this. Thanks in advance!

1. I'm pretty sure they don't mess with the lost and found. I've had stuff in there for ages.

2. Not to my knowledge. The quickest way is to time travel to grow back grass, but otherwise you'll just have to wait and see if grass grows back in the area. I've heard that you can grow grass back faster if you plant flowers and water them, but I've honestly seen no difference since you have to walk on the area to water it in the first place, it's pretty counter-intuitive.

3. Yes, grass still gets destroyed with paths on top.

I read somewhere that you can have up to 50 public works project requests at a time (with the oldest getting deleted to make space for newer ones). Is this true?

Im getting close to 50 and I don't want anything in my pwp request list removed :s

Once requested, a PWP can't be removed from the suggestion list.

However, once you've built 30 PWPs in your town (I believe it ignores certain projects, like the train station/town hall remodels, the Roost, etc.), you won't be able to built anymore, so if you ask Isabelle to build a new PWP, the list will remove all PWPs (again, with exception of those that don't add to the count to begin with). However, if you demolish an existing PWP, you'll have the same list back.

I've been looking around to see wethr this question was answered and couldn't find anything, so here goes...


Can I get villagers to move out if my town is not even full yet? :/ I've tried with a TT method I found on the gamefaqs forums and I've not encountered one person who wants to move out albeit me save/quitting several times and I begin to assume it might be because I only have nine people in my town so far...

 

[Sidewalk]

You can get the 9th and 10th to move out. Minimum you will have 8 villagers.

Once down to 8 , a new random villager will appear.

 

[BlueWyvern4]

I have 9 villagers atm, no campsite.
I bought Pietro (<3) on the forums, but can he enter right now? (no campsite, 9 villagers) or do i need to TT out one more villager?
So basically can he come to my town as a 10th villager even though i have no campsite?

Yes he can. The 10th villagers can be from the campsite, wi-fi or someone else's town. You never have to build the campsite if you don't want it.

Can't confirm nor deny. I don't know either.

I have a question about moving villagers, but I haven't seen a clear answer...

I know it is very possible for a villager to move without warning/pinging you about it first. This has happened to four of my friends as well as myself, but luckily for me, the villager who moved out was one that I did not interact with much at the time. However, I was never notified that he was going to move. Villagers I spoke to regularly never dropped hints that he was thinking about leaving and he never pinged me himself, even when I passed by. The only notification I ever got was when I booted up the game and Isabelle told me he was leaving.

What are the possible causes for this to occur, and is it preventable?
