When trying to move in a villager via an amiibo card, do you need to scan the card every day or will the villager just appear by themselves after the first scan?

If you invite via the campsite (the only way?) then yes, you need to scan and invite them back for 3 days to get them to move in.

I would like to know this as well. I had 2-3 days pass and I was good but I did have an empty plot and it was occupied by a villager from someone else's void. Boy was I disappointed. I had invited Lobo to my island. Decided to continue hunting and found no villager on the island. I thought oh maybe only one villager can move a day but no. I went over to the empty house plot and it was already taken.

I'd also love more info about this when people can get it. I saw someone earlier in the thread say they got a rando after 2 days? I wonder if there's a range of days past or if you gotta make sure to scan an amiibo or find someone on a mystery tour within those two days. I'm also a bit confused by your reply Noctis? Are you saying you invited an animal from a mystery tour but someone from someone else's file came in instead after the fact? Did you visit someone else before or after inviting Lobo?

I already bought 4 house plots, meaning I have my 6th villager (camper) moving in and already took care for the rest of the houses. Will be house plots be sold one per day or is there a chance that all of them will be sold the next day to random villagers?

They'll be sold one per day. If you don't yet have 9 villagers, and don't invite anyone, each day a random villager will move in until you have 9. If you build a 10th plot, that one will remain empty until you invite a villager. (I think--Mine was empty for about 5 days until I invited Goldie)

hi! do i need a plot to invite villagers into my town? i want to get my villagers through controlled methods (campground, island) and would rather see and invite them first before plotting.

second question: is it true that whichever villager comes to your campground first will move in? is it possible to just reset that day until you get a villager you like or is it locked?

thank you!

1. For villagers you get through the island, you need a plot first to invite them.
For villagers from the campsite, it should be possible to put a plot down the day you have them so that you can invite them (I'm not 100% sure about this though)

2. It is not possible to reset, you have to invite them

The villager Marina has a pink claw-foot tub in her house, but the crafting bench won't let me customize my black claw-foot tub at all? Anyone know how she has a pink tub but it won't let me change the color of mine?

I'm guessing that it's because some items come in different colors. You cannot customize to get these different colors. Instead you have to collect each color variation of each item. Once you add these different color variations to your catalog, you are able to order as many as you want from Nook in the color you want. Hopefully that makes sense!

This is so helpful, thank you so much!! ^^ That makes sense!

Why did my mystery islands stop spawning villagers? I have an open plot. Does it have something to do with the fact I have two of them waiting to move in already?

From my experience, you can only invite 1 villager from the islands per day

Is there only a singular upgrade to Nook's Cranny in this game?

At this moment, yes.

 

[yukimin]

Is it confirmed that we can use an amiibo for a villager more than once? I.e., if I were to have a villager move in, and they were to move out on their own, could I use the same card to bring them back in again?

So I invited Dom to my island and he is plotting his house. I tried going back onto islands to see if I could find anyone I wanted, but there was absolutely no villager at all in the two islands I went too. Is there a certain amount of time I need to wait until they start appearing? I also went ahead and bought another plot before I started this search. I have Chops coming in from the forced campsite invitation today as well so I’m not sure if he and Dom are the causes.

 

[Envy]

Do we absolutely have to plot a new place for a house to get more villagers to show up on the islands? I'm just asking because I'm afraid that if I do and I don't find a villager I like on the islands in time, the game will invite someone I don't care for by RNG. It seems safer to not have the plot of land, but that may be the only way to do it. =/

There needs to be an open plot in order to have someone show up on an island tour.

Thank you! I was very happy to discover only one plot has been purchased, so buying all plots at once is not a disadvantage.

How much is the current rate for TBT ? As in how much IGB could I get for TBT ? I'd be looking to sell 1000 TBT.

Can you use another player's ABD ? Similar to New Leaf where you could deposit bells in your bank account, even if you were in another town ?

How many villagers do you need minimum to get a 3 star rating ?

Thanks !

You cannot use another player's ABD anymore, unfortunately.


IGB used to be 1mill to 100 TBT but I'm waiting to find out myself. If someone answers me I'll let you know.

You can only invite one villager from the island per day. After that one, villagers will stop spawning on the island. Likewise, you can only invite one villager from the campsite per day (because only one ever spawns per day). But no, Chops did not affect the fact that no one is spawning. It is only because you already invited Dom. Villagers will start spawning again the next day!
