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

Is it random whether Pascal shows up when you find a scallop? I found my first scallop of the day but he didn't pop up. I've had him every other time though?

He usually shows up on the first catch but it's not 100% guaranteed. He appears between 1st to 4th scallop for me.
 
So in the game I was doing something in in game my house, and when I exited I had to do something, so I put the Switch in sleep mode. I turned it back on, and its been loading for 5 minutes now (confirmed by screen dimming), I don't want to corrupt anything, so what should I do here? Should I keep waiting for it to load, or restart the game?
 
Edit: Nm. I’ll just make a thread and ask. Sorry ><.

Will the update being coming out at 12am tonight? On previous it's been 9pm for me, so I was wondering if the update would come out at 9pm tonight (my time) or sometime the next day? Probably a silly question, but thanks!
 
Hello, I was at my campsite and saw that Lucky was there. I want to get him but he wants to kick out one of my favorite villagers. Is there a way to get him to kick someone else out (preferably Jitters)? If not, could I get someone to hold him until I get a spot?

(Also sorry if someone already answered this but I didn't want to sift through pages and pages for this question :p)

There's a way to choose which villager moves out, but it requires save scumming before you talk to the camper. Basically, you wait until the game saves, then talk to the camper until they choose a villager. If that villager isn't what you want, you have to exit the game immediately before leaving the convo. When you load the game again, the camper will eventually pick a different villager. However, if the game saves after the camper picks a villager, that villager is locked in. So you're probably too late unless you're still in the convo.

If you want someone to hold a villager, I'd recommend checking out the New Neighbor Network board to see if you can find someone who can help you.

Ah looks like I'm too late then :( but thank you for the help, I'll try to see if anyone will help hope him so I can get someone out in time.
 
Hi,
Sorry if this is discussed somewhere but I didn't see it in the FAQ: my original jock character, Sterling, is still with me. Love Sterling! However, he has a crappy starter house. If I get an amiibo of Sterling, can I have amiibo Sterling move starter-home Sterling out? Thanks for any help on this! I would like Sterling to have his nice jail, lol.

You won't be able to scan amiibo-Sterling in while you have a Sterling in your town. So you'll need to let him move out if you want to scan in your amiibo. Alternatively if you don't want to lose the friendship you have with your starter Sterling, you could let him move to a friend's island and then invite him back.
 
Hi! I don’t know if this has been asked before but I was wondering if it is possible for villagers to give you furniture from their house? I know Marshal likes to change his small furniture around but one time he gave me a coffee grinder and I’ve never seen him display it in his house since then. He now only displays his music player (along with the espresso maker, stovetop espresso maker, cream and suger and kettle). I know this was possible in New Leaf not sure about in New Horizons. I’ve only experienced this with Marshal so far so I’m not sure.
When a villager moves, they can give you a furniture from their home through the recycling bin, but if you over gift them with bugs and clothing then they will give you that instead. From my experience, Diva moved and a golden casket from her home, and Lucy gave me a bug and a clothing article (I gave some clothing to her.) From other online user experiences, they got at least 1-2 items from a moving villager.
Furniture that are given when you give them an item are not from their homes. I never heard that happen before, perhaps you gave him a furniture item and he placed it in his house, then he gave you the item that was in place before the new item was present, or it was a random furniture item that is the same as his. (This is my first post, I tried my best to help you)

EDIT: I remember now that she gave me a wooden bed and a bug instead of a bug and a clothing article.

Probably the same time as the previous ones. The Japanese Nintendo twitter account just tweeted the times and we'll see it on the English one soon. NVM it's happening in half an hour.

You can try it but it probably won't work. You need to amiibo someone else in to kick Sterling out and use the Sterling amiibo to get him back

Oh hello! First off, welcome to the forums and thank you for answering my question! :) I don’t give my villagers any bugs or other furniture (I just give wrapped fruits). This was one of those events where I talked to him and he gave me his coffee grinder out of nowhere and then never seen him display it since. I just wondered if they still gave away their furniture. Thanks so much though. I am guessing it isn’t from his house and just doesn’t put it out anymore since he has a lot of other little furniture in his house.

It's rare but it happens. Villagers can give you certain items in their house. Usually the "None" types and the stuff that placed on surfaces. Reneigh gave me a magazine and it was never seen again.

They can also give you clothes from their wardrobe so you have a chance of getting rid of that delivery mishap.

Ooh! So it does happen. And yes it was a furniture placed on the surface. Thanks for sharing your input! :)

Why. Now I have to worry about Audie messing up her house by giving me stuff? At least if it’s tabletop it should be replaceable.
 
kind of silly question, but if i set my island to a specific date + time to upload its dream address, will visitors always see it at that date/time, or does the dream island's date change in realtime? i'm assuming it stays static until you re-upload an updated dream but...???

(i want to set the time forward a few weeks to get the snow on my island to clear up for dreams, but i don't want my dream island to perpetually be a fortnight ahead of the real date...if that makes sense)
 
Does anyone know does glitch where a villager picks up the wrong house front fix itself when they move out and are picked up by somebody else? Or do they carry that glitch with them? Stitches has the wrong house front annoyingly - the interior is original but I don't want to trade him to someone else if he carries that glitch with him.

Yep, you're correct. Dreams are just a snapshot of your island whenever you choose to upload it; it won't update until you re-upload it.

The exterior glitch doesn't carry over when a villager is adopted, so you don't have to worry about that. And I believe the bug was fixed in the previous update anyways.

Also, I like your town name! My island is The Shire. :'D
