This is about cycling .
I am new to cycling and I have been TTing 2 days foward and 2 days backward to move villager out . Usually I will get a ping or a rumor about someone moving . I did the same today and talk to 3 villagers until they are bored and still no rumor or ping . So is there any possiblity that there won't be anyone moving?

A while back I was holding a friend's villager in my 2nd town, and when it came time to move her out she was absolutely stubborn (coff coff BONBON coff coff). To keep myself going I started tracking all the requests I got to see if there was a pattern and it was totally random. As close as the next day, as long as 5. And the number of days away they were moving was anywhere from 2 to 7. And that was with checking everyone every day. So there's certainly a possibility that no-one is moving.

To be honest though I would not do 2-day jumps, my friend cycled that way and lost Carmen without any warning. I jumped back a week or two (or a month, once) and then came forward one day at a time until I got back to the present day. I've never had a surprise move.

Quick question about the 16 villager cycle; I lost Merengue due to careless time traveling woes. Since then, 2 new people have moved in. I have 7 villagers/slots I would like to continuously cycle out until I reach 16 villagers out. During this time, I will be checking in day to day to make sure Diana, Flurry, and Shep do not move out.

Say villager A moves out. 1/16. Villager B moves out; 2/16. When Villager P moves out, 16/16, will I need to cycle yet one more out or can I go on my hunt for Merengue again after villager P leaves?

Going to post this again.

What affect does bamboo have on the town rating? The three bamboo I planted have kinda grown out of control in the time I've spent away from the game...

They count the same as tree, as dig spots they don't count, but once sprouted they count as a tree.

Hey guys, quick question!

Say a villager is in boxes today. Someone comes to claim them, the house closes and the door says they've moved out. Is there a chance of a villager coming to move in the very next day, or will there be a day of waiting?

Only if you've invited them to stay and you had 9 villagers including them. Otherwise there is always a day of waiting/if you had 10 villagers I don't think you can invite one in until the next day anyway.

Anyone?

After 16 villagers have moved they will no longer appear on main street... Aaaand

That answers this question. I don't know whether it is the 16th or 17th villager that is counted but the sign is they will no longer visit main street.

I have quite a few questions!

-Does the bug catching and fish catching you do in island tours count towards your badges?

-I read somewhere that there are two Toy Day sets; Jingle and Festive, but have seen nothing else about festive anywhere. Is that just a mistake?

those are only a few I can remember off the top of my head. more to come, I'm sure

-If my house's general theme is fairy tale, but I want to use one room for seasonal sets that may not have the fairy tale theme, will that lower my HHA score?

- If it says my lucky item will be "glasses" can it be ANY kind like pilot shades or silver frames or does it have to have the word glasses in the name?

Island tours don't seem to count towards badges.

As for toy day -- there is a series of Jingle furniture, and a group of festive items (tree, big tree, candles, dress, flag) -- perhaps that's what the person meant? There's not a furniture set though.

Bugs and fish (and diving) on the island all count towards badges, same as done while in other peoples towns.
EDIT: Oh, tours wise, if it is a bug/fish hunt tour then bugs/fish won't count, but if you catch fish while doing a tour like scavenger or hide and seek they do.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the festive stuff is just the trees and candles that are also sold in the Nooklings in December. ~ but I haven't played December yet, so I could be wrong there.

I believe you need 80% fairytale items, so as long as it's less than 20% non-fairytale stuff you should be okay. ~ I've not experimented with this yet myself though.

And not a clue on lucky items, though I do know Sunglasses can be an option, so they might count separately.

What if I accidentally load onto a secondary character, and see a plot where I don't want it. I don't save. Can I still do the reset trick?

They have to be brand new, meaning you go through the whole choosing your name, ect. stuff.

 

[mapleshine]

So it's too late, even if I didn't save?

Oh, forgot to mention that I deleted that character (had no importance) and tried doing the new save file from there.

Having some issues with the search function, how do you trade villagers with another player?

It's too late if you loaded that character up once—the game saves right as your getting on. That's why the new file trick even works, because the save doesn't happen 'till you get you TPC.

Came back with a new few questions about cycling . Few are stupid but just want to make sure .
-If a villager is not in boxes but they will move out tomorrow (expamble 11st of August) , if I TT'd a few day back would they stay until 11st of August come?
-If a villager is already in boxes can we do anything to hold them as long as possible?I have heard that if I TT'd as early in the morning or at night when they are asleep they will instantly move out.Most likely rumors but want to check it out.
-How many Gracie Check do you to do to have Gracie store as my Town Project?Also will it be on main street or in my town?

If you TT while they're in boxes, you need to stay on their boxes date, so you can TT back to 6:30am (i always do 7am just in case) to keep them in town longer, and the latest you have til they're gone is til 5:59am the next day (be sure not to get to 6am of the next day or they'll be gone!).

You need to pass 4 checks, her store will then automatically be begin being built atop your T&T w/e store it is. It will be on mainstreet, obviously c:

there's a third "Toy Day" furni series, the Ice Series, which you can only get during winter when you've built the correct snow-person and trade them snowflakes you caught. Not really on Toy Day, but i digress.

If my town is full of paths and flowers and I want to make snow people, will the snowballs grow or shrink when I roll them over my paths? and can I "complete" the snow people on a square with a path?

They shrink over paths. They grow over flowers if there's snow underneath (which there should be if there's grass there).

No idea on the path question. I've never tried completing a snowman on a path. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

No. When a villager gives you a move out date, they are really giving you the number of days until they leave -- if you do not tt then the moving date will be the same. But if you tt you have just changed the date because what really matters is how many days you've loaded on the game.

For example. say it is the 10th, a villager says they are moving on the 15th. This means they are moving in 5 more days of gameplay. If you play to the 14th, then tt backwards, they will be IN BOXES the day you tt to. It's a little confusing but basically you load 5 days and then they move -- remember that forward jumps load all the days you skip, backward jumps load one day no matter what. So:
start on the 10th, tt to 15th, you've loaded all 5 days and they are in boxes
start on the 10th, play normally to the 14th, tt back to day 5 and they are in boxes
start on the 10th, tt back to the 5th (this is now day 1), play normally for 4 more days to the 9th, and they are in boxes

If I start a new game when can I start having villagers from other towns move in?

I believe you can start right away. Let's see if someone else can confirm this~
