It seems that more often than not there are some villagers that are around every time I turn on my game and I see them every day strolling about, but there are some that I have to search every Nook's and cranny (bad pun is bad) before I manage to stumble across them in the last place I look. Since Colton moved in from the campsite I have only seen him in town twice in the past couple weeks while on my main, and Sparro is fairly elusive as well. I swear this one time I was looking for Sparro I checked the town, Brewster's cafe, all the stores, all the museum exhibits, villager houses, then I went back to Brewster's and found him (not the first time a jock teleported around town, this one time I ran past Bam on the way to the store and when I walked in he was already there). I know some villager types aren't even awake at certain times but I don't have these problems with Julian and Sterling so I don't think it has anything to do with personality type. There are even times when I log into my alt character and they suddenly appear in town after I was unable to find them, I swear they're avoiding my mayor or something.
I think it might just be bad luck but it seems odd that it's always those two that I can't find unless I hunt them down (there have been others in the past but currently it's just them that do this). I think it's hilarious although a bit annoying since I'm trying to be friends with Sparro, does anyone else have this kind of thing happen?
I feel like that happens to me sometimes. Like for example, Molly is definitely my favorite villager, but she's always no where to be found!
Very rarely do I ever find her right outside of her home. She's always hanging out in other places.
But I don't play enough for it to become a nuisance for me, lol.
I wouldn't say "avoid" but some special villagers tend to ignore me more when I need them, like Freya for example lol (damn just gimme a pwp suggestion). In other hand Keaton pings me all freaking time!!! So really, I dunno.
yes, Lobo. which is sad because he's my second favorite villager
it's very hard to find him when he's not home and he's usually not home and when I finally find him and talk to him he almost never say anything interesting and doesn't ask me for tasks like the other villagers...
his situation was kind of tedious when I first got him but now he's a little better I think, there is hope lol XD
Not that they avoid me, but Fang tends to stay inside a lot and that's probably because he's cranky, but I love seeing him outside so I'm just emo about it
Julian is hard to find. MIA most of the time. Before my town Glitter got lost Chrissy was always never anywhere but when I would log on as the ahjussi of my town she would always be there! Talk about frustrating. In my town Random, MArina shows up very infrequently and Muffy is always in some random void.
I don't think villagers are programed to ignore you. I rreally don't. II have been playing on and off for a year now while TTing (sooo four in game years almost ^^. I have noticed villagers tend to disappear and go places for a few days at certain times. Liiike one time Octavian was at retail at 1pm for three days. But I really thing it is something that just happens and it cycles out. All I can say is if anyone can't find a villager is to turn the game off for a few hours and check again.
Zell and Klaus would always avoid me it seemed. Zell would be in the museum's bug section, and Klaus would be in the aquarium. Which is minutely annoying because they were so fun to talk to.
Yuka now seems to do that too. She's always hiding in either the art gallery or in Retail. But it's not so bad, she usually gravitates towards the plaza around 5pm.
Sterling used to do this to me all the time when he lived in my town. I would always find him in the fossil or fish exhibit.
The more I talked to him and the more I befriended him, I saw him in town more often, though he still often went to main street, more often than other villagers.
He moved, sadly, but he left me with his picture so I will always remember the fun times I had with him.
Knox in my mom's town is ALWAYS somewhere else whenever I visit her town.
All the time... even today. I was looking for Pekoe and save quit multiple times to make her pop up and ping since I wanted to change her catchphrase, she was no where to be found for 3 tries. She was always either in the museum or shopping. When I save quit the 4th time, I finally found her, in her house. Ugh, I love her so much, but omg whenever I wanna do something, she's never there. I took a pic of her sitting with Walt on the bench a few hours later though, so I guess that makes up for this morning's mishap lol
