New Horizons F.A.Q. – Ask Questions Here!

Do you have too be best friends with someone on acnh to send them a letter with a gift?

you don’t! you just have to add them on the switch but rather than their name being under “best friends” when you go to send them a letter, you’ll have to press R and their name should be there!
 
Help! I finally got a campsite visitor and she's so cute! Problem is that I can't kick out any of the villagers I want to kick out yet because they haven't given me their pics. If I keep tting forward till I get one of their pics and then tt back to today will I still have the same campsite visitor, or even a visitor at all?
 
It's been 4 weeks since Flick last visited my island, is it normal? I saw a picture saying you get either him or CJ and the next week the other one will have priority, which hasn't happened here, because I got CJ 3 times in a row.
Btw did they nerf the daily villager crafting? It used to be 3 per day and the last 2 days I could only find 2. I even changed the time to check if I missed 1.

i’m not sure about the crafting but flick seems to be a rarer npc and doesn’t come very often ;;

Flick, CJ, Label, Redd, and Gulliver only have 2 possible days of the week they can show up on (yes, 5 characters for 2 slots) because they are weekdays (M-F) only and Leif, Kicks, and Saharah are guaranteed to show up on the other 3. So with 5 characters for only 2 slots each week, that means you might have to wait a while for RNG to go your way. I've noticed Gulliver seems most likely of those 5 to show up, at least for me. The other 4 somehow feel rarer.
 
Hi, I have questions about the campsite.
On a day that I had a villager visiting the campsite, I forgot to see whoever was visiting, and eventually the day changed...
Am I able to TT to meet that camping villager? Trying to find a particular villager and worried I have been super unlucky and missed meeting them in this one encounter. On that note, even if I don’t enter the tent and see who the villager is, are they already locked in from the moment Isabelle makes the announcement? And if I didn’t visit them, is it possible they may visit again?
Thanks so much for your help!

Unfortunately, if you TT back to that date, you won't get the same camper, and that camper is locked once you load the file for that date.

Also unfortunately, it's very impractical to see villagers in your campsite who have already camped on your island. Essentially, the game keeps track of all villagers you've either had live on your island or had as a camper. The game will avoid giving those specific villagers to you as a camper, and the only way of getting repeats is by encountering all villagers/all villagers of a given personality, at which point it's pure RNG which villager you see.

That's the basic summary (there's some specifics depending on whether or not you have all personality types on your island). You can see these details about how the campsite works here (scroll down to the highlighted text on the second to last page).
 
I have a question regarding friend's "rejected" villagers.

So, a friend of mine mentioned yesterday that there's apparently a chance for you to receive a friend's "rejected" (I think forced to move out due to a campsite villager moving in?) villager if you have an empty plot that you haven't filled yourself. Is this true? I can't seem to find any info on this when I search it up.

Yes, this is what's commonly called the "void" mechanic. All villagers that move out of a town that don't get specifically adopted by another player (not just forced move-outs from campers) get "stored" in a move-out queue. When another player interacts with that town through multiplayer, then villagers from that move-out queue have a chance to move in to that new town either by taking an empty plot or by occupying a slot in that town's move-in queue and then moving in once a plot is empty.

When you have an empty plot, you're guaranteed one day to find a villager yourself. If you don't invite anyone, once 5 a.m. hits on the following day, that plot has a chance of either being filled by a pure RNG villager, or if you have a voided villager in your move-in queue, that plot will be taken by them. So it's best to take advantage of that one day if you want to find a villager yourself.

I appreciate the response! I've been hunting all day for a villager to take up my last plot but I'm being kind of fussy with the type, and another one of my friends has been evicting villagers with amiibos that I'd really like to avoid taking in, lol. But this info is good to know!

Best of luck! If you're willing to TT, you can technically create a never-ending day where, if you're running out of time to find a villager, you TT backwards a few hours (making sure to not pass 5 a.m. as that's the start of an AC day), and then you can indefinitely postpone a void move-in. Also, if you're island hopping, the new day won't roll over if you're still in the airport, so as long as you don't leave the building or exit the game, even if it's 5 a.m., you can continue to island hop until you run out of tickets.

I also forgot to mention. You'll know when you get a voided villager when, if you talk to them while they're in boxes, they mention coming from another town.
 
Never seen this before...I was in Nook's cranny with Goldie and she was looking at a table in the back, without me talking to her she got an independent thought bubble above her head saying 'I could use something like this...'
So I bought it and gave it to her, but she didn't seem to react any differently from any other gift I've given her. Was it just some random flavor text, or was it to show what her favorite style of items is? Or Was there something else I was supposed to do. I looked up that phrase and it had never been mentioned before online.

I'm fairly certain that stuff is just for flavor; I've seen my villagers do it too. I do like your theory that these larger reactions are to items that are colors or styles that villager likes. Will have to keep my eye on that!

Great thanks for the help!
 
Does it really matter if I don't have an island with at least 1 of each personality type? I'd assume it does due to the game seemingly forcing you into starting out your islands with, from what I've been told, a fixed order of types you get. I'm planning to have an island with all female villagers but it seems I'll have 1 snooty amongst a sea of peppy and normal.. but does it really matter at the end of the day? What will I be missing?
