If you invited him in from another town, his plot will be there tomorrow.
If you invited him in from the campsite, his plot will appear in 2 days. Does this help?

 

[Jennifer]

Actually, it can take up to 5 days for a plot to go down. I've had people from the camp take like 4 days and people I've asked to move in 2-3 days.

It does help, though Jennifer's response complicates things. I'll expect him tomorrow and dig in for a hopefully-not-long-but-probably reset session.

Oh, if I go in as a secondary character and his plot is not there and I don't save, am I safe to load up as my mayor? Or, do I *have* to save as the secondary even if there isn't a plot?

 

[JellyBeans]

If you go in as a secondary character and there is no plot, save that character, or otherwise when you load up your mayor the plot has a chance of appearing.

Okay, thanks. I already have a place picked out for a second house, though it'll probably be demolished as soon as I no longer need it.

Do yourself a favor - leave out a shovel! The first time I reset, I had a place picked for the temporary house and there was a gem rock there, which spawned almost every single reset. I ended up having to plop the house elsewhere and deal with the huge dead grass patch.

Quick stupid question: Does Peach's parasol protect against tanning? It's so small...

I believe all umbrellas do. Several long tops/dresses and hats/accessories also prevent tanning. I remember seeing a list back in July but I can't find it anymore. :S

It would so love if instead of flat out prevention the next AC game just gave you awkward tan lines.

Something I'm wondering about; if you have no free space left (as in; your entire town is covered with flowers, trees, bushes and patterns), does the gem rock still appear? From what I understand fossils won't appear, but what about the gem rock?

I have a question, I haven't played in one of my towns in about a week (since I only have enough time/energy to bother on my 1-2 day(s) off a week :[ ) and I was wondering:

If when I start a new character to scout if someone's moved/moving, and find that all my villagers seem to be in a state of still living in town (nobody who's in their houses are in boxes), is it safe to not save on this new character and start up on my mayor?

or when i start my mayor, is there a chance someone will be moving/have moved?? D:

If you don't save on your secondary char, there is a slight chance that someone will move :3 Or, if you're a TTer, just TT to when you last played :3

Urm, I wouldn't think so.. :3

I usually do what's in bold, but idr what day it was that I last played :c
Eh, i'll just make a new person and deal with the huge dead patch. I dont want to risk losing my town full of dreamies D;
Thank you for the quick answer btw!

 

[Snow]

The activity log on your 3DS will tell you the last day you played by the 3DS clock - and even if you tt you might be able to figure it out from that.

For the villager helper badges, what counts as "doing jobs for the villagers"? Is it just the manual things (catching bugs, getting fruit, etc) or does stuff like changing nicknames and catch phrases help too?

Without knowing for a fact, I would say that all of their requests count.

I believe any request does contribute.

If I TT forward using a new character and found that curly is moving in next.
I quit and didn't save the game.
Will this also reset the villager that move in, i.e it will be another villager and not curly?

 

[Ras]

Yes, it won't be Curly unless you get really lucky and he randomly comes up again. But mostly likely, it'll be someone completely different.

Unless you asked Curly to move in and that's why his plot is there, of course.

 

[Sidewalk]

Thanks! Nope i didnt ask her to move in.

 

[Ras]

If you're plot resetting, is there any part of talking to Isabelle that's safe? Can you talk to her as your mayor as long as you don't get to the Preparing Your Town screen, or do you have to avoid her altogether? I have a ninth villager moving in, but I want to demolish my two secondary characters and I don't know if that will set the plots for good. Also, just wondering if you can change the time without setting the villager in stone.

Until I get an answer, I'm just creating a fourth character. First villager: Rodney. Reset!

Edit: I still would like an answer, but I'm an idiot. A lucky idiot, but an idiot. I decided to risk demolishing the secondaries but got distracted and loaded up the game as one. Luckily, there wasn't a plot at all. Unluckily, that means my plot resetting fun is over for the day.
