Does anyone else try to come up with furniture items that would fit really well with different villagers' personalities and then send them a lot of gift mail? I recently got into doing this because it dawned on me how much I ruined my villagers' houses with fish, bugs, and other poorly thought out gifts. Even for those whose homes weren't ruined, sometimes I find their decor... lacking, and want to try out my own ideas.
I'm curious about a few quirks about giving your villagers furniture and what they do with it.
I know that at least most of the time, they'll take your item and use it to replace something that's the same size. Is this a constant, or are there exceptions?
If you, for instance, buy a bad furniture item off them and then gift them a piece of furniture they originally had in the same spot, will they put that item back where it originally was? Or is there a chance it'll go somewhere else, like in an empty spot in the room or replacing an item that was the same size?
Do villagers only replace existing furniture if you give them something, or will they put it in the room if there's an empty space for it?
Is there a set order in which villagers replace furniture (e.g., I give them a 1x1 item, they have several 1x1 items in the room, so the 1x1 piece they've owned the longest is the one that is replaced)?
If I buy an item from them while visiting their house, and then send them an item that is the same size as the thing I bought, will that definitely be the placement of what I give them?
Or is this all, frankly, random?
Thanks in advance for any answers. I haven't done a whole lot of this yet, but if I'm able to learn more about this so I can plan on my strategy for redecorating a villager's house, that'll obviously be helpful.
