So a villager wants to move in a few days but I want to time travel a few days backward to todays current date. Will he still move out if I do that?

Are you saying you want to TT to his move out date and then TT back to today's date?

He will move out if that's the case. TTing any days backwards counts as 1 ANCL day.

Its May 10th in my game, lets say he said he was gonna move out May 13th (I actually dont remember what date if any he said he would move out) . If I time time travel back to todays date (May 6th) would I still have to wait until May 13th for him to move?

If you TT backwards, for however many days, it only counts as one day passing.

He would move out on the 8th, then, I think. (Because it's 3 days til his moving date, and if one day passes, then it's 2 days til the date.)

Changing villager moving dates is kind of fiddly, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I decided to reset my town and start on January 1st because I've never played and I wanted to get the feeling of playing a full year. It is now almost the end of January in my game and a villager is moving out that someone would like to adopt. Since my town isn't in current time, will I have an issue letting someone come adopt them?

 

[IndiaHawker]

Can villagers give you unorderables?

ettienne - good idea, thanks! Didn't realise fashion checks on alternate characters counted towards the four! Do you know if it still counts if you delete the character afterwards?

Your town's time should have no effect on anyone adopting a villager.

Just to make sure that things go smoothly, make sure to either end the session or let the adopter leave by train. Afterwards, ensure that the villager's house says, "Moved Out." Then make sure that the adopter doesn't adopt anyone else on that day. That's all you need to make sure that the villager will move in.

Can villagers give you unorderables?

Like as rewards for favors? I doubt it. The only items that they can feasibly give as rewards that are unorderable, that I can think of off the top of my head, are the Sprinkler and the Lawn Mower, two weird items that can be bought in the Nooklings' shop regularly and yet are unorderable. Since they're "regular" items, I guess that means they can theoretically show up as a random reward for favors. I mean, most unorderables are special/event-based, so I'm not even sure what unorderables you're thinking of?

If the item is in their house, you can definitely get it if they're feeling generous. I got Cally to give me a Clamshell Music Box that was part of her home originally.

Sorry if I'm not understanding your question correctly!

I've been planting bushes in my town, but only a few had "flowers" on them. What are the odds of flowers growing up on bushes?

It's not based on odds! It's based on the seasons! Each bush has specific times when they will bloom, and only one type of each bush is in full-bloom at a given point. Here's a handy-dandy list.

Not sure if they can straight out give them to you, but it's probably exceedingly rare.
I did one time deliver a present to Alice waaaay back when I started the game, and the present turned out to be a cabana screen, which is an island exclusive. She later let me buy it for like 1000 bells or something.

This is the only time villagers ever dealt with exclusives though, and I've played for like almost a year since then.

I was just talking to Marshal and he told me that Groucho is thinking about moving.Do I wait for him to ping me when he wakes up like when a villager tells you themselves that there moving or is there another way to make him stop from moving?

If you want to stop a villager from moving, you have to let them ping you so you can stop them. There's no other way. If he doesn't ping you right away when he wakes up (for example, because another villager just pinged you), your best bet is to save and quit, start up your game again and walk straight to him. He should ping you then.

Thank you for the information,it worked I was able to I stop him from moving.

Do you mean if they're re-orderable through the catalog? Some are, and some aren't. Here is a list of re-orderable DLC, though I should mention I'm not sure if it's entirely up to date!

Thank you for the information,it worked I was able to I stop him from moving.

No problem, glad I could help.

Will bells only fall from normal tress, not (empty) fruit trees? I'm asking because I've planted so many peach trees that I can't tell which is which anymore. xD

Also, is it normal for the camp site to stay empty? I've never had a camper yet although I only have nine villagers (and Kid Cat is moving on Sunday, finally!!) and have had the camp site for a few days now...

Bells only fall from non-fruit trees. They don't fall from empty fruit trees. They can fall from both the regular oak trees and pine trees. This also applies to furniture/bees, but I believe that bugs like the Spider and Bagworm can fall from all kinds of trees (barring palm trees). You'll be able to tell in the summer time which trees are which, because I believe that the leaves of fruit trees turn darker, but I'm not sure when this change occurs exactly. Here's a picture for reference (not my picture).

It's completely normal for the campsite to stay empty! You can get campers at any time (even when you have 10 villagers). The average is about 1 a week/every two weeks, but you can easily go several weeks without seeing one. However, I believe that the day after you build the campsite, you're guaranteed to get a camper (as long as it isn't a holiday; campers can't appear on some holidays), so if you've just recently built it, I think you should have gotten at least one by now? I've heard that campers are more likely to appear on Sundays, but I don't think there's any evidence for that. If you want to get some campers, you can try campsite resetting, but that's super boring and dull.

Thank you! Good to know that the leaves will change in color eventually, I started to worry that I need t ocut down my fruit trees to know which is which...

Not having a camper is weird but I guess I'll just wait a littlelonger. Someone's bound to show up, and I guess I might still get a new villager soon. Thank you for the quick answer! :3

No worries! Keep in mind that the color change is only for the summer, though. So figure out what's what then, and organize your trees so that you won't have to worry about it later.

Let me rephrase, I think I messed that up.
It counts, but only if you need a different theme. Example: Mayor was given modern and you don't have any clothes of that theme. Go to a different character and she'll give them a different theme, but you can only pass with a character a day.

I was going to explain, but was busy and failed to remember. You'll want to pass a check, TT forward to the next day then TT back to the day she was there to get another check. Sorry for the confusion. >.<

I recently had a random tenth move in - does this mean it was definitely a void villager, or do you automatically get a tenth neighbour when you hit perfect town status? And if someone then moves out and puts you back down to nine, will another villager automatically move in, or will i stay at nine unless i get another void villager/ask someone to move in?

also, completely unrelated, but is it true that Nook's Homes expands to include something on the second floor? If so, what does it sell? I'm sure i read something about it a while ago but haven't really seen much on it.. Just curious as to why there's windows upstairs if there's not going to be anything there!

Sorry for so many questions, i hope this all made sense!
