My main character can still change skin tones on November 1st, and I checked with my second player who is still able to buy the skin tones from the nook stop. As far as I can tell they're permanent, and you wouldn't need to tt for it.

Will an upcoming birthday keep a villager from being picked by a camper? I have Phoebe in my parent’s camp and they want lucky OUT but I want to make sure I’m not doing a fool’s errand (as his bday is on the 4th)
Edit: answered my own question! Lucky is going!

When do the trees actually go red? I don't want to time travel but it's Nov. 1st and the trees are still sickly yellow...><
It's very gradual and since fall season includes the month of November, there's essentially still an entire month left so they won't turn that bright red color until much later on. I just tt'ed around for you and it wasn't until around the 18th that some of the trees were that intense shade of red and the remaining ones brown with a few yellow ones left, which also pretty much corresponds to the way it was in New Leaf, where fruit trees would turn red on the 18th stat. So you'd have to wait until late November I'm afraid

Partly just as distraction, but also because of a recent disappointment in a campsite villager, I have been time traveling a bit day by day to find another campsite villager. If I travel back to today, how does that effect the count since last camper? Does it count for the number of days I skip over? Or does it go back to being how ever many days since the campsite villager I had in normal time (ie - if I had a camper on Sunday, and time travel from next Sunday back to this past Monday what will my chance of having a camper be? 0% or 20%.
I feel like I should know this, or should have read it before. But cannot remember, and hoping someone knows. Also hope my question makes sense. Thank you!

Ok quick question. Can a villager move in the same day a villager asked to move out? Like today Genji asked to move and I said yes, would I be able to invite another villager in today? thanks

no, you won't be able to invite another villager until genji has moved out and his plot is open.

Hello! I just came back to Bell Tree after a few years of playing New Leaf and I'm new to online trading for New Horizons. Is there a trading guide for newbies here ( like how to trade online, how best to protect your island, ect)?

What happens to nicknames and custom catchphrases when you change the game language? Do they stay the same?

I don't know if there's a dedicated guide, but this is something you could get away with making your own board to discuss.
My suggestion to protect your island would be to wall off your beaches (including the secret beach) if you don't trust people. With the diving update, people can jump off your dock and swim around to find an access point.
If you made a board, people who are more well-versed in trading than I am would be able to pass along their advice as well.

Ok, so this requires a bit of a story. Back in the spring when I was first starting off my island, a villager asked to move out. At the time, I didn't want him to leave and I said no. I also remember reading somewhere that when you told a villager to stay, they wouldn't be the one to ask you to leave the next time. Fast forward to now, I'm trying to get my perfect villagers. He's one of the only villagers left on my island that I don't 100% love, and I want him to move out. I've been ignoring him and hoping that he leaves, but it just hasn't been happening. I was thinking about this recently and realized that he's the only villager on my island that has never asked to move out since. 3 or 4 villagers have moved out since he asked. So my question is: do I need to ask someone else to stay before I can kick him out, or will it just happen on its own?
So from what I'm gathering, you've never asked another villager to stay and have moved each of them out? Then according to some sources I've read over just now, that particular villager you want out will not ask you again until you've told another one to stay. If you're a time traveller, you can force this to happen quite quickly by tt-ing a certain amount. If you aren't, you would have to wait organically until someone you want to stay asks to move. Do keep in mind that after telling somebody to stay, there's a 5-day cooldown in which nobody can ask to move, so that's another week of waiting if you do it in real time.
The chances of the game then choosing the villager you'd actually want to move are also determined by the friendship level, so I'd recommend not talking to them as much - but still talking occaisonally, as I've heard that long periods of ignoring will lead to them "deactivating" their pings, although I don't know if that's true - while simultaneously working on raising the friendship of all your other villagers. This just makes it more likely for the game to pick the one you want faster, which helps those who don't time travel to not wait an obscene amount.

Ok, thank you! I'm not a time traveller, so I'll just ask another villager to stay when they ask to move out.

I always write this type of question 
even though the answer is usually just bad luck. But is there anything but plain bad luck that can keep a villager from being selected to move out by a camper? I’ve had every villager selected multiple times except for one today (and it happens to be the one I want to move out). I feel like I am cursed/ going crazy

It doesn't seem like the friendship level affects which one gets picked like it does when they move out through a ping. I'm sorry for your bad luck, I was in a similar situation and it took literally half the day LOL. If you want to have another go and aren't opposed to tt'ing, you could always go back in time to keep the camper there and keep trying - that is, if you didn't finish the conversation about moving someone out already.I always write this type of question

It's just pure chance. Friendship doesn't have an impact but you can try to increase the chances of the correct villager to be picked by holding onto a villager you want to keep housing kits. The camper will never pick that villager.

I was pretty sure it was bad luck. I have time traveled to earlier in the day just to make myself feel less rushed. I have been playing (well mindlessly clicking A while doing other stuff for about 10 hours) the housing kit is a good idea! It at least increases my odds, so I will take it. Thank you! Sometimes I just need a sanity check, so thank you @Ginkgo and @Sharksheep !!
