I have another question, haha. Is it possible to rotate PWPs? I've kicked Isabelle around a lot now, but she doesn't seem to allow it. Yet I've seen a screenshot of the Cafe against a stone wall, so it has to be possible since the only stone wall is either at the left or right side of the game. Or is it possible to rotate the camera and I haven't figured that out yet?
I'd love to build the fence with the entrance to the left instead of down, soooo...

It's a most-asked question concerning projects, but the sad answer is no you can't rotate projects.

Hey guys, Ive asked 2 times already and have been missed/ignored, can someone please answer me?

Im going to be new leaf on christmas, so should i put the date ahead so i dont have chrismas while i started the game?

Also, is there a way to grow grass back? Please answer me guys!

I have a villager named Curly who is always on Mainstreet, but he doesn't have a home in the village? He talks to me and everything but he never leaves main street until 8pm and i'm not sure what time he comes back. what do i do?

 

[Sheba]

Oh, I have another question:
You guys taught me about the cycling thing, but can I bypass it with trades (in case I ever get my Wi-Fi to work)? One of my starters is a dreamie of mine, but his house is in the darndest place - as in, exactly where I want the house of my secondary character to be - so he has to go to clear the space, but I want him back. Can I trade for him before I have cycled through 16 villagers or would he refuse to live in my town then?

Also, another question, to clarify: I've read somewhere in a side sentence that villagers can't suggest bridge PWPs if there are three bridges already. Is that true?

i'm not sure about the first one, but you can grow grass back by placing flowers in the area and not walking in that patch :3

How long does it take a villager to move in? Their plot is usually there the next day in my experience.

Day 1 found someone in my campsite I wanted.
Day 2 villager in boxes moving (had no idea) no plot
Day 3 villager in boxes moved, no new plot

Did the villager moving out make the other villager not move in?

Did you ask the camper to move in?

 

[Ras]

I started a new village the other day and have already had a sixth villager move in (I think the plot was there the second day). How quickly do the rest move in? Do I only get two more automatic move-ins, or is it three?

 

[Oppy]

Guys he doesn't have a house in my town what do I do ._.
Also sorry about the quality
^^;

 

[JellyBeans]

Is he a previous villager? They show up on main street after a while.

You've actually been answered twice (now three times, counting the first answer to this post that you got earlier).

Why wouldn't you want Christmas when you start playing?

You regrow grass by leaving it alone. Time will heal it

No problem
Are you satisfied with the answers? I admit I'm not totally clear on what you perceive the problem to be, regarding starting on Christmas.

I was thinking that if it was christmas, would there be disruptions? Like celebrating Christmas while starting the town?
Or if starting in Winter is a good idea at all, and start at Spring.
I know my brother is going to just keep the day legit

I can't say for sure, as I've never started the game on Christmas, but I can't imagine that Nintendo wouldn't have thought of that scenario when they coded the game. I bet there's a long tradition of people getting Animal Crossing as a present (well, for as long as the franchise has existed). You will of course have a bunch of stuff on your plate on your first day(s), so I could see how it might make sense to set the date to a few days before Christmas, so that you can properly become mayor before the festivities start. But I don't think you would be missing out from anything if you haven't gotten 100% approval.

So, I've planned out the inside of my house and what villagers I would like, but I'm not seeing any good guides that show off town layouts. And not like the map they give you, but what other people do with it. What do people do with their vast swaths of land besides cry whenever a new NPC moves in and ruins it? Can I stop that by digging holes or something? Nook told me I couldn't build somewhere, then when I move to a different spot, he lets an NPC move where I wanted and blocks my view >.<
Do people plant nothing but gardens and orchirds? Is there a strategy to it? Like having flower beds next to train tracks since you can't put buildings there etc.
Short question: Are there any online guides or showcases for town decorating and layouts?

 

[Sheba]

Shian, you get the Dream Suite at around 10 days in (one week after unlocking public work projects, which take a minimum of two days to unlock), you can use that to visit the towns of other players. They don't need to be online for that, it's kinda like a showcase. I jus got mine as well and it won't be finished until tomorrow, so I can't give a better explanation than what I read, but I expect big things from it because....I have the same problem as you. XD

How do I get a ping from a SPECIFIC villager to move?

I don't think there's any proven ways.
