• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Ask AC:NL Questions here! (Please read before posting here or making a new thread!)

Yes as long as you visit their town when you less then 10 villagers in your town. It can be annoying sometimes.

Oh, I see. Damn. I don't want him. Such bad luck. Oh well, he will move eventually, even though he killed some trees and flowers. Thank you for the answer.
 
Guess I'll asks here before making a thread

Would this speed up the 16 villager cylce??
So I've been doing the TT 2 days ahead and 2 days back and if I go to many days without a *ping* I load up a new character just to scope out the town and see if anyone's moved. It works fine but takes forever.

My question is what is stopping me from TT 10 days into the future, Load a new character and see who has moved, and if it's the wrong villager I turn off my game? As long as I do the TT before the game has "picked" someone to move, I don't see how this could fail.... but I'm nervous lol

Here's the thing. If you TT ten days into the future and someone is gone, that means in the present day they are already planning to move.
 
I was wondering, since googling it had various answers, how do you have more than 1 town (for cycling purposes or whatnot)?

Some answers said a physical and a digital copy are okay, while others say you need 2 different physical copies of ACNL (and different SD cards???).

Since many of you guys do have more than one town, I was wondering if anyone could clarify. I can't seem to find a post about that anywhere.

I have two towns, so I can confirm you can have 1 digital town AND a physical town. I don't think you can have two physical towns, but I'm not sure.

You can have one digital copy and as many physical copies as you want on the same 3DS. You don't need different SD cards.

Ok, I have another spacing question! If you can see in the picture, I am trying to Portia to line up her house so that it is next to Marshal's house. I've been plot resetting for a couple of hours, and I keep getting her in the spot seen in the picture. Am I unlucky, or is the flower bed too close? The spacing looks like this: (X = house; 0 = space; Z = flower bed)

xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx
00000
0ZZ00
0ZZ00

Would that work? I thought it would since the X's include the house's buffer space, and the 0's show the buffer space for the flower bed, but after many hours, I am not too sure!

I'm pretty sure (not 100% tho) that it can't get that close. Houses have a 2 space buffer in the front, at least, they do when it comes to bushes and cliff edges, so it's probably the same way with PWPs.

I *think* (again, not 100%, you probably want to verify this with someone who actually TTs haha) you can TT back to the previous day, or whatever day you invited her in, and demolish the flower bed. Then it'll be gone when you come back to the current day and you'll be able to reset her into that spot.

Ahh, thank you so much! I'll TT to the day before with a new character just to make sure! Again, thank you for your help! :)
 
Wow so many questions on the front page... took me forever to get through them all! But question!

What if I had somebody that I didn't trust in my town to catalog something, and somebody else shows up while the other person has my item in their pockets? Because I don't trust them, I want to flip the wifi switch so it won't save, but when would it be safe to do so? Would I do it during the "Someone's here!" dialogue? Or... somewhere else? Where would the safest spot to flip the wifi switch be to make sure I don't lose my item?

Props for making it through all those questions on the front page, haha!

I believe that it would be safest to flip the Wi-Fi switch during the "Someone's here!" banner that shows up on screen. The game hasn't saved the session at that point. The game saves when the little spinning circle appears and it says specifically, "Saving. Don't turn off the game." If you flip the Wi-Fi switch before the icon and the saving screen shows up, it should end the session before it starts to save.

Hopefully you don't have to do this anytime soon! I'd take precautions so that you don't have to worry about making split-second switch flips. Delete people from your FC list as soon as possible if you're just making short trades with them so you have less of a chance of having random visitors, or make it known that you don't like random visitors. You could also close your gates after the person you want arrives in town.
 
Ah okay, thank you so much! I don't plan on having to use this, but making sure just in case the situation should come up ^_^
 
Why are only Lucha and Roald asking me to move out? For like the past three weeks it's only been those two, and I don't want either to leave. I talk to them every day, and I don't talk to Rooney, Frita, or Mac at all. How do I get them to leave. Do I just keep waiting?

If you already talked with the others in the beginning, you'll need to talk with them now, too. The game pushes villagers you haven't talked with at all and those you're best friends with to leave. Sounds like Lucha and Roald are your besties in this regard. Try befriending the others if ignoring isn't working.
 
I am really loving this forum and all the great folks here. I am interested, now that I've signed up for Tumblr (I don't HAVE one, I signed up just to look) is it okay to make a thread and ask people here who have ACNL or largely ACNL Tumblrs and if so would they post a link so I can go and have a look and maybe Follow?

ETA - Urgh...I think this should be in Ask the Staff...
