[Guide] Fool Proof Guide to Moving Villagers OUT

This guide is phenomenal. I need to cycle through 12 villagers so I can get 1 that I accidentally let go. Here comes the struggle..hope I don't mess this up lol.

Thank you.
 
Another tips to add in:

Currently I am doing the 16 cycle and MOST of my dreamie ping me on moving out! (I have 2 slot that I am doing cycle in and out) so in order to get the villagers I don't want to move out instead of my dreamies, I whacked my dreamies with net after spoken to them (to find out who moving) and talk alot with those villagers I want them OUT! IT WORKS LIKE CHARM!! Although still time require but this is much better than speaking with the villagers once and ignore hoping them to get out quick.
 
When you convince a villager to stay and not leave. Do we still advance 4 days from THAT day to activate another villager?
 
I just lost Derwin :(

I TT 4 days after someone moved in. And Isabelle already said he was in boxes. What the hell :(
 
Sorry if this has already been asked, but the guide says if you dont greet the new villager on the day they move in, then it will take forever to get them to move out... Does anyone know how long it takes? I messed up with TTing & skipped a day when a villager moved in.. I haaaate where their house is and just wondering how long I'm gonna have to deal with it. :/
 
how do you get a villager to move out if you have 10?

It's the same process, it's just that you will have to move out two villagers to get a new villager.

It isn't exactly dependent on time; just luck that a certain villager you don't like will move out. I can suggest trying the tip sn0wxyuki gave though.
 
So Kabuki was one of my first villagers to go. 19 villagers moved out of my village excluding him. He's still in my strip mall. My question is does the cycle period start as soon as he moves out or does that not matter at all?

Well..it took 17 for some to completely move from the high stree for me but i think its 'cause i miscounted. I counted their goodbye letters it's how i keep track when i want them back hehe. Anyway to answer your question, it's when they first move out or well the day after (on the safe side) then count how many have moved out AFTER he has.

Yup I thought as much just wanted to be on the safe side and confirm it. I probably need to void maybe 2 or 3 more villagers until I can get him back

Edit: another question, I also plot reset to make sure the new move ins don't mess up my town, does the game pre determine which type of villager you're going to get? I'm pretty sure it does, I've been getting nothing but jocks lol, also anyone know how rare Bam is? I've resetted like 40 times and never got him lol.

I'm trying this to get rid of two villagers. I've been jumping ahead 4 days, finding out if anyone is leaving, talking said animal out of it (sometimes the same animal twice), then back to the 2nd, then forward to the 6th again. So far, I lost a villager I didn't want to lose, simply because I was never pinged, and they never told me.
Shep is no longer part of Junes. :(
I'm afraid of traveling too far ahead. Once (and if ) my two unwanted villagers say they're leaving, can I just take a major jump back to April 2nd and not lose anyone?

I almost don't want to keep going. If I lost Shep even when I was careful and spoke to him a million times, I could lose my other favorite animals. If I don't TT for the reason of getting rid of animals, how long will it take them to leave if I don't talk to them at all? (I introduced myself on the days both moved in, and haven't spoken to them since. I did make the mistake of hitting one of them with the bug net repeatedly until I read I shouldn't do that, or it makes them want to stay rather than leave.
Cherry and Apollo have ruined everything. I want them gone.
I've been at this for 6 hours, and still failing to get rid of them.

this guide is great but it leaves out so many key points. in the future you should use this guide too

Also I'm not sure why you're tting backwards, it just counts as TTing a day forward.
If you're TTing just go day by day until you get someone ping about moving, from that day you can TT any amount of time, 5 days, a whole year it doesn't matter- nobody will move. but doing this youd also have to make sure you're on speaking terms with them all. you will get a ping, or a moving rumor though.
 
Thanks. I'm going to go ahead day by day, talk to everyone until my unwanted villagers ping me (I am on speaking terms with them, as I've introduced myself to them on their move in day), then when that character says, "I'm leaving on the (whatever day)," I'll say, "Ok, bye!" and then go all the way back to April 2nd in one giant jump.
You are sure no one will leave with that giant jump after I say, "Ok, bye!" to the unwanted villager?

...If all else failed, I was thinking of destroying my house and restarting my character --saving all of my stuff and bells with another character, of course--and placing my house somewhere else.

Well, if the villager that's moving is one you don't want to keep, then you would need to TT to their move out date or after... I've never tried going backwards so I'm not sure what exactly would happen if you did to be honest.
To answer your question though, yes you can TT forward any amount of time once you get a moving ping. Even if you say "no dont go" you can still jump 5 days. I do this when I want to move out multiple villagers at once, then I'll just jump back however many months I need to in one game load.
Sorry I hope that makes sense.

Also, if it's your mayor you want to delete, you would have to delete the entire town. :c unless you have two 3d's and a way to transfer items.

also.. going day by day is always your best option. time consuming, tedious, but safe. so if you don't want to jump a few days at a time, forreal don't. either way works.
