Anyone know which villagers I should look out for in order to unlock more flowers/hybrids?

bob asked for a flower theme for his house so i would try to talk to him if you see him.

 

[Lily.]

You can design all three in any order you want to.

Thank you so much!

Are there certain things you can only do if you scan a villager/NPC with the card?

As said Bob is a good villager for this, and Aurora also wants a flower themed house. Quite a few villagers unlock a flower or two though. You can quit a design after starting and pick a different villager you saw on main street and see if they unlock more. (so long as you don't turn off/start a new day you can check all 4 villagers and pick the best of them each day. ;D Takes a bit of time though.

I did not realize you could switch the seasons when I was picking Carrie's plot. I have a nice plot but it is fall. Is there a way to change the season after the fact? I want summer for the yard for her joey to play in.

At the start of a day go and visit her, (On your book menu) and talk to her, pick the second option, and you can move her house (deletes outdoor furniture) or change the season but keep the same location (furniture will stay where it is.) If you've done the room size lesson you'll also be able to add a room or expand her man room while you're doing this.

I know you're supposed to talk to Digby to redesign public buildings, but when? I'm looking around and he's only in the office at night and won't do anything besides saying "good job today." I have the first set of buildings completed (hospital, cafe, school, and shop) and I don't want to make any more unless I'm sure I'll be able to redo them when I get better furniture.

Once you have the lower level of New Town unlocked you'll be able to expand your school along with the new buildings. Once you've done the school expansion Digby should start appearing in the mornings.

That's awesome. Thanks.

Take a look in the first post - the section on amiibo cards should answer your question.

Ah I read the first post and missed that. Thanks!

How do you place more of the same item without having to go back? I remember Isabelle told me or something but I accidentally skipped the dialogue.

so you place the item, hold down L or R, and then click on the item with your stylus! I skipped through it the first time too loool

 

[Titi]

Eeeeh... I'm really not sure I'll be getting it.
I can't really see the point of designing houses and shops and stuff if you can't enjoy it while playing in your town after. I wish this would be an add on to NL instead of a separate game.
Plus I'm kind of mad at the fact that the Lottie character shares my real name and is super ugly.

how do you expand villager's homes? and like add more rooms?

 

[ZeldaSylveon]

also how do you redesign houses and facilities

Hallo! You will eventually unlock a course you can take from your desk that will allow you to unlock multiple rooms and bigger layouts. It unlocked for me after I completed all 3 of the initial public buildings Isabelle asks you to design (though it could also have been after I'd designed for a certain number of villagers...or after I'd completed all the other courses). I'm not sure which condition I needed to meet, but it was definitely unlocked after some combination of the above.

also how do you redesign houses and facilities

In terms of redesigning houses and facilities, you can redesign a villager's home by visiting them from your clipboard at the beginning of a day, before you've designed anything else. When you go to visit, if you speak to them you should have a dialogue option to redesign. As for public facilities, I think you have to have completed all 3 of the initial public buildings and unlocked the lower level of town. At that point, Digby will start showing up in Nook's Homes in the mornings, and if you talk to him, redesigning the public buildings should be an option.

I recently took a PlayCoins Course that had various sized rooms as the topic. I haven't conpleted all the public buildings but now I can change the rooms in a villagers house to two rooms (one larger, one smaller) or a few different sized one rooms!

So excited!

Anyone knows who unlocks the pink hydrangea bushes? For all the time I've been playing I still haven't unlocked them and I'm going crazy

They're unlocked by Blanche or Lily.

If I scan an amiibo card in my game, then give the card to my friend, can their game also scan it too? Basically are amiibo cards a one time use thing?

*screams into the void* thank you ;__;

If I scan an amiibo card in my game, then give the card to my friend, can their game also scan it too? Basically are amiibo cards a one time use thing?

Taken from the OP:

If I scan a card and summon a villager into my game, then mail the card to my friend, can I invite that villager to other homes or buildings in my game?
Sadly, nope. You need to use the card each time you want to summon a villager to a new location. If you want to invite Peanut to Julian's house, you have to scan Peanut's card. If you later want to invite Peanut to Soleil's house, you have to scan the card again. And if you want Peanut to work in your restaurant, you'll have to scan her card yet again.

Well, what if my friend is sitting right next to me and we're both playing HHD? Can we use the same amiibo card?
If it's a friend in your neighbourhood or a family member, sharing amiibo cards is much easier! You could invite Peanut to Julian's house by scanning Peanut's card, hand the card to your friend and they could invite Peanut to Soleil's house using the same card. So the same card can indeed be used by more than one person--it just requires that if you want to summon the villager again, you need to have the card physically with you to do so.

Even if you've designed a home for a villager, so they're present in your game, you can't summon them to a party from your list of clients you've designed for--you have to use their card every time you want to invite them somewhere specific.
