Glad I saw this thread because I almost made one of my own to ask something!

You know how occasionally a villager will show you a letter you've sent them in the past? Say one of your villagers moves out and goes to live with someone else via SpotPass/trading. Can or will they show the new mayor any letters you sent them? Or if someone visits your town could any of your villagers show them letters?

Just a little something I've always been curious about since I don't get many chances to visit or be visited.

Supposedly they can -- Isabelle has the ability to delete all their letters if they have anything objectionable. But I've had several villagers who came from elsewhere and while they all talk about their old mayors and sing their old town tunes, no-one has ever actually shown me a letter.

Now that JellyBeans has said differently, I'm less sure, but 5 minutes ago, I would have said with absolute certainly that gyroids only appear the day after it has rained. But you will definitely find gyroids the day after downpour.

I'm positive it's only the day after a rain. Although I believe if the day was supposed to rain but you don't see it rain, you will still get the gyroids. (Say, it's super-cloudy, but you quit playing before the rain actually starts.) So it might seem like they appeared without rainfall.

I've had rumors of Rosie wanting to move, and I want to stop her! I've tried talking to her numerous times and she just won't bring up the idea that she's moving. Help???

Ooh, this has happened to me! You just need to give them chances to ping you over and over until they tell you. Normally if you talk to them often they should ping you quickly. Try logging back in every hour or so and finding her -- make sure you wait until she pings you, don't initiate the conversation. If she doesn't ping you, try trapping her (I like to trap them on a bridge) and then go diving for a while and come back. Finger crossed you can stop her soon!!

Okay, thanks.^^ I've been trying to get her to ping by doing the diving trick, but whenever she does, she pings about something useless. >.< I'll keep trying! I need her to stay!
 
Question - So I had 10 villagers and one just moved out. Will it go back to 9 and stay at 9 until I possibly get a street pass or such? Or will a new villager appear right with in the following day of their own accord? (I just can't be bothered to reset for a possible new villager...)

you won't get random move-ins at 9, a 10th villager can only arrive by invitation, streetpass or wifi.
 
Okay, so say that I have the first floor 8x8, and I pay it off. If I go to Nook's Homes, will he force me to upgrade to the second floor, or am I able to avoid that?

I'm not sure if this question has already been asked, I searched through the post and didn't see anything.
Reese's husband is still sleeping in my towns Re-Tail, how does he wake up? What are the requirements for him to?
 
My birthday is the same day as the Harvest festival, will I still be able to celebrate my birthday? I don't wanna miss the celebration just 'cause of harvest (and it starts at 6am)
 
I have parts of my town where there is NO grass whatsoever. What are the best ways to grow it back without timetravelling? Does putting flowers around the edges of the dirt and watering them work?

OH. And if i just walk on it does it affect its growth or is it just running on it?

Some areas just have no grass.

To grow back grass that died off, plant flowers on said grass and water them.
 
Can you receive visitors while being at the island? Like, when playing island games with another player and someone tries to enter your town.

Or is it better to open only for Best Friends when going to the island?

If I'm not mistaken you have to play for at least 7 days, have 100 pieces of furniture and 50 pieces of clothing, and you have to sell 100,000 bells worth of items for him to wake up.

Thanks! I just wasn't sure if I missed something or I just hadn't reached it yet.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation, he gives you a lot of options. You can either upgrade an existing room or add on a new room. He never forces you to do anything without your agreeing to it. I've seen homes in the HHS with complete bottom floors and the smallest possible size for the upper floor. I don't know why, but I've seen it.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's possible for anyone to enter your town when you're on the island. Best friends or otherwise. That part of the game gets shut down when you travel.

Unfortunately, yes. I was running like a maniac when I first got the game, because I didn't know any better, so I timetraveled to get grass back. I now walk slow everywhere--it's probably overkill, but I don't even walk fast enough to kick up dust like you do when you fully extend the control pad without the run button. It doesn't matter, because I've still got bad grass erosion. I think the main thing is how many times you save, quit, and start back up. I hate being punished for liking to play this game a lot.

Time travel certainly works, but it's dangerous. I lost one villager regrowing grass. I hadn't played that day, so I might have been okay had he pinged me about moving. The next time, I waited until someone pinged me, I told them to stay, and then I traveled *backwards* a month. I regrew my grass and didn't lose anyone. But, I'm scared every time I think of doing it. I'm going to wait until I get my tenth villager, then wait for someone to ping me about moving, and then try it again. But, I wouldn't be surprised if I lose someone anyway. I guess it's not worth the risk since the grass dies again.

If planting flowers works, it's a long, long process. And, it's been said that you do damage by walking on them to water them, so try to have a golden can and then only step on one. Good luck.

What I'm saying is, if I finish paying off the 8x8 first floor main room, will he force me to purchase the smallest possible size for the upper floor?
 
Yep. Every room starts out small and you have to keep upgrading until they are as big as possible. No way around that.

Okay, you're clearly not getting it.

House upgrades in rooms to the side are optional. You do not have to get them. You can get them by talking to Nook in his store.

Upgrading the main room to 6x6 and 8x8 are forced upgrades. Nook will force you to get these upgrades when you walk into his house.

I want to know if he will force you to buy the second floor.

He will force you to buy the second floor. You can't build any other rooms until you have bought the second floor, but you don't have to fully upgrade it.
