Does the classic gold & red Royal Throne exist in this game? I know about the all gold one.

How do I get my villagers to play more? IE I've seen people mention that their villagers play tag or hide and seek and I've never seen them do that.

I have a camper and a free plot. Can I invite someone from an island and still get the camper to move in?

I decided to just go ahead with this and try it myself, so I can confirm that it does work.

I think it's just random

Have they added a way to store DIY cards that you already have?

You can store DIYs in the Resident Services recycle bin. Put a table outside and put DIYs on it. Stand near it and go into Island Designer and Request Cleanup and they will show up in the bin.

The only game they play is Treasure Hunt and it’s very rare. They bury it, you find it and dig it up.

I swear everything I’ve read has said the mystery islands after the initial 3 invites (for the original peppy, lazy, and normal) are all random. I’ve had every type on my island before, if it matters, and had a full island for months, so not in early game play at all.

I know it is too small a sample size, etc, but I’ve been to 14 islands and seen 7 crankies. I don’t have a cranky villager on my island, as I find them boring and don’t want one. Is it just bad rng, or am I wrong about the mystery island mechanics?

 

[Insulaire]

Just bad luck. Your campsite visitors will be weighted towards missing personality types though

thank you so much! I thought so, but just needed a sanity chec! It’s so hard to resist reading patterns into the randomness

i know if a villager moves to another island, and then moves back to yours, theyll remember you and keep their clothing - does that also apply to furniture? specifically when trying to reset their starter houses to their unique ones?

(ive gifted canberra so much furniture to make her house passable, but those items would look horrid with her actual interior.)

Today is my birthday and I just wanted to check on getting all the birthday/party items. I got Mom's cake in the mail, and the birthday sign from my party. From cupcakes I've also got the glasses, the wall, the floor, the table, and the candles. However a few of my villagers have taken cupcakes and not given anything back (two were in Nook's, if that matters), and two others gave random items, and I don't have the cake or the hat yet. Are there any other things I should be getting today, besides the song from KK? Is there any other way to get the items I'm missing?

 

[Hypno KK]

I've unlocked more reactions than the ones that show up on that wheel thing... how do I see/select those? I feel like I'm missing something haha.

 

[Jade_Amell]

I've...been playing consistently for the past two weeks or so after taking a long break. How are are the other visitors? I've yet to see Redd, and I'm pretty sure I'd have to fill out a missing persons report for Wisp at this point. Did they lessen how often people show up?

When you pull up the reaction keychain, there is an option at the bottom to see them all via button press— I think it’s Y but I can’t remember for sure, but it’s definitely labeled. When you hover over each reaction in the expanded view, you can see what it looks like on your character

when you give villagers the cupcakes, theres a chance that they will give you a random furniture/clothing item or a birthday themed item so what you experienced was normal. Also, since theres multiple variations of the birthday items such as the glasses, sign, candles, and cakes, it isn't guaranteed that you will receive all of them on your birthday. If you are missing birthday items, you would either have to trade for them or time travel to your next birthday next year to trigger the event again. Also, some of the birthday items are customizable such as the sign,table, candles, and cake in case you were looking for a specific variation.

The NPC schedule was changed in the July update. This made it so that every NPC should show up every two weeks, although things may have been thrown off for last week due to having the Bug Off, Fireworks, and K.K. all in a row. Things should stabilize a little with the NPC schedule going forward since there will no longer be fireworks after this Sunday. I think Wisp usually shows up once during one of the weekdays and once during the weekend each week, but fireworks may also be altering his schedule. I'd just keep looking for him during next week since he appears on a random day and location, so he's easy to miss.

If you gift a seashell to a villager, will they display it in their house?

No one answered, so I decided to test it myself. I gave Octavian a shell, and so far he hasn't displayed it. The dialog I got when I gifted him was the same as gifting other materials, so I'm guessing that shells are treated as materials and won't be displayed.

You're right, I give wrapped shells, particularly summer shells, all the time and they've never displayed them once. I give each villager probably at least 1 shell a week and have been doing that for at least 3 weeks or more!

 

[toxapex]

So I have 1 plot open, I've invited a villager from a mystery island, and there's someone I might want in my campsite. Will asking the villager in the campsite to move in be impossible, will it overwrite the mystery island villager, or will they ask to kick someone out?

I rly like the mystery island villager (merengue) so I don't wanna mess this up LOL

—————

EDIT: I decided to go ahead and try it for science; If you have a sold plot and 9 villagers, the camper WILL simply ask to kick one of your remaining villagers

I created a second resident because I wanted a permanent tent on my island. I want to be able to unlock the nook miles hairstyles for my new resident, but it seems like i can't buy those nook miles hairstyles unless I upgrade that resident's tent into a house, right?
