If a villager has left your town and you completed the 16 villager cycle for them, would there be a slight possibility that they can show up in your campsite? Like all of the other campers?

 

[Ras]

They have the same chance as any other villager. The game has "forgotten" they had anything to do with your town, so they can appear at any time.

Pashmina won't ping me at all! I need her to request PWP's but in all the time I did the PWP diving trick, she's only pinged me ONCE! I've had her in my town for about 5-7 in-game days, how do I get her to ping me more? Please help me ><

Edit: She was the latest & 10th villager to move into my town, if that make any difference.

Pretty sure that your friendship level will help boost the chances of getting a ping :/
Other than that, you just have to wait

What are Dreamies and how do I get them?

What are Dreamies and how do I get them?

"Dreamies" is short for "dream villager" It varies from person to person. It just means the 10 villagers that you like most and want in your town.

You can obtain "dreamies" by adopting them from the adoption forum here. Just keep a vigilant lookout on the cycling threads to see if they have the villager you want.

I don't know for sure, so don't quote me on this:

I think the Streetpass you get on your plaza for ACNL takes into account everyone who has ACNL time logged into their DS (through the activity log). The HHA streetpass only gets houses if the person you Streetpass has the ACNL cartridge or download on their DS at the time of Streetpassing.

I just wonder why my notification says, "You've got company" if it only means I've streetpassed w/people who have played ACNL but don't necessarily have it loaded at the time of passing. I can't believe I can't find any info from googling, though...

When cycling through 16 villagers, what if you get one of your dreamies? If I'm trying to cycle efficiently, I'm not going to start with a new character every day, but this also can get me one of my dreamies in a horrible spot ;~;

Will anybody move if someone is sick? My villagers only seem to want to talk about how Freckles has a nasty cold and I don't want anyone to move out while I'm handling that :c

They can, except the sick villager will not move

Under what circumstances would villagers give you a quest? (to give them fruit/bugs/fish/furniture, deliver items, etc.)
And when would they send letters? Is there a minimum amount of letters you have to type, and does it have to be in context and not just something like 'aisondgfjwgsibnogjdpfbings?'

 

[Birdinator]

Can villagers place their houses directly next to a bush/tree? I know you can't plant them next to a house but if a bush/tree was already there would it be possible for a villager to move in right next to it?

No. Trees and bushes won't grow next to homes or PWP's. If a villager moves in they will remove any existing trees/bushes/flowers that are in the way.

If a villager moved in next to a tree/bush, they would destroy it. Villagers' houses have a one space buffer around it where you can only place flowers, paths, and dropped items, and nothing else.

 

[poliwag0]

Can bushes and trees be placed directly beside the stones around the town tree?

 

[FraudulentDimetrodon]

Can bushes and trees be placed directly beside the stones around the town tree?

The cobblestone ground, you mean? Yep, they sure can! Same with the ground by Re-Tail, Town Hall, the Train Station, etc.

I don't have a perfect town, so how did a Jacob's ladder spawn in my town? When I asked Isabelle, she said that my town is still a bit barren.

 

[poliwag0]

If you plant bells with a normal shovel, will t become a tree?

Another flower spawned when I was TTing What's going on? o_o

 

[Hypno KK]

Nvm, sorry.
