Since TT-ing backwards any amount of time equals one day, does this mean it is risk free?

Another question: I'm getting close to a complete dreamie list, and I wanted to know how to not risk losing those dreamies I've accumulated. I unfortunately lost a dreamie of mine and I hope to never make that mistake again.
It is for the most part. I've heard people say villagers can move out, but I've TT'd weeks backwards and everything was fine, like nothing even happened.
Err... Don't let them move out when they ping you? Oh, and talk to every villager a couple times a day to see if they mention someone's thinking of moving.
I would say it's very low risk. But it's still a new day, so just like going forward a day, if you've missed a moving villager they could pack up. Just be sure that you've checked with everyone every day and you should be fine!
Is there a way to prevent villagers from putting their house down in a spot you don't want them to? I'm trying to plan an orchard and I'm afraid some NPC will plop their house down in the middle of it before I am finished... or even after I've made it perfect.
Are there things I can do to discourage villagers from settling in certain spots like dig holes or plant bushes?
I've also never TTed before. If I turn on my game and someone has put their house in a bad spot, how do I roll for a new one? (step by step please, I'm kind of a dummy
)
Are there things I can do to encourage villagers to settle in a certain spot. (Keep X by X land open and fill the border with flowers?) Some villagers have lines up their houses! ... but one is off by one. Maybe there is a way to make the next one that moves in line up with the others? <3
Thank you for the replies.

1) The only way to prevent a villager from moving into an unwanted spot is to place some sort of PWP on that spot, since they can move on top of paths, flowers, trees, bushes, holes, and even furniture. (don't place furniture on the ground thinking you'll prevent someone from moving into that spot; they'll move over it and it will be put into the police station in the lost and found. If you don't have the police station, I believe the furniture disappears.)
2) So there is this thing called the villager plot reset trick. What you do is, if you are expecting a new villager to move in, log into a NEW SAVE FILE. Loading onto your Mayor or any other character will not work, since the game saves when you log into any of them. Anyway, once you are on the new save file character, roam around your town to see if there are any house plots. If there are not, no villager is expected to move yet. If there is a plot and you are satisfied with the placement, continue playing the game. Talk to Isabelle and Nook, and establish your house until you can finally save. Is you are NOT satisfied with the villagers house placement once you find the plot, turn off your DS and load again on a new save file. Since you are a new character and you are unable to save, the game does not save, allowing the house plot to appear in a different location. Once you are happy with location, play the game until you are able to save.
3) Like I said, the only way to make a villager move into a spot where you don't want to is to place PWPs. You cant control the EXACT location a villager puts his house. When you said something about the aligned homes, those people have done the reset trick MANY times to get their villager homes aligned straight across. I have tried to get my villagers to line up perfectly, but it took way too long, and I never got it aligned. You need lots of patience if you want to align your villager homes.
Hope I helped! ^^

I'm sure its safe. You saved it and that's all that matters.
Yes, it's safe. The red power button just means low battery life. o;

Should be. As long as it's done saving if/when it has run completely out of power.
I'm back again with more questions:
I was wondering how trading is usually done. I mean, I don't see how it works - I've seen people sell the super-popular villagers for 10+mil bells. How exactly does one transfer that much money? Even when you load all your pockets full with 99k pouches, you don't even reach two million bells. Do you have to litter the town with all the money then?
Also when two or more items are traded - how is it done, normally? Do both people drop their items at the same time? Bury them? Put them into Re-Tail? I'm scared that if I ever trade something, I'd do something wrong and make people angry because I don't know any better. X_X
And I'd like to know if there is any faster way to change your hairstyle and color than through Shampoodle because it needs sooo long until it finally opens. I know there are wigs, but I'd prefer to change my hair and wear the hat I like on top of that.

I can only answer this question.
You do need to go to Shampoodle to actually change your hair. But you could visit a town of someone who has already unlocked Shampoodle
I've heard people will put items like flowers into re-tail and price them for 999,999k or something like that and the person giving money buys those items. I've never tried it myself, so I can't say if it works good.
Thanks.I can only answer this question.

Seems like I have to ask around then and hope that Wi-Fi won't fail me.EDIT: Thanks, Lunatic. That actually makes sense and sounds reasonably easy.

I can answer these two!
Anyway, I've had to drop lots of bells one time and the only way to do drop the money is to either set x amount of items to 999999 bells at Retail that equal the total amount. The other way is to just simply keep track of the amount of bells you set down. Its not very efficient, but its the best way.
And when you trade items, just drop them; the person your trading with WILL set them down. If your afraid of people scamming you, check their Wi-Fi rating.
Ooh, things make more sense now! One more question, which is probably a dumb one: When you go to someone else's town to get a villager from them, you obviously can only take so much money with you. Does the ATM in other people's towns work for you as well or how do you get all the money you need over there then? Like, if you have to pay 5 million bells for the villager, you would have to make three trips to the town.
