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

Is frame dropping caused by dropping too many items on the floor? Or is it only if you place them? Or both?
I can tell you from having been to several catalog islands that they'll hardly influence the framerate when dropped. You wouldn't be able to walk those islands otherwise, lol

I forgot to look for my NPC visitor yesterday (could they post it on the bulletin board?). If I TT back to yesterday, would I get the one I had yesterday, or would it be a random NPC? I don’t like to TT, but hate to think I could have missed Redd because art museum progress is slow.
I don't know your timezone, but it should be either Wednesday or Tuesday for you today, meaning you want to check the NPC of either Monday or Tuesday, right? In that case you can TT back. Otherwise, just remember that the NPCs that will visit your island each week are determined every Sunday, meaning that TTing to a Sunday will reshuffle the lineup of NPCs for the upcoming week.
 
Is there a way to rotate items on a table outside?
I am trying to place documents stacks on a stone tablet, but I can’t get it to land correctly. I want it centered on the oposite side. However when I place it, it goes to the corners instead. It is only centered if I stand on the center of opposite side, but then I place it and it’s not on the direction I want.

I don’t know. I want to be able to center flowers on a 2x2 table, but can only get it on the center of a side, not center of the table.

The direction you face will determine the orientation of the item. Can't be rotated but you can control the position anyway.

Yeah but if you place an item right in front, and you want to place an item right behind that one behind it centered, I haven’t been blue to figure out how to center it. When I place it, the game throws it to the sides rather than centered.
 
I found out recently that if a villager moves out, they will leave behind an empty plot that gets sold to a new villager, as opposed to their house simply disappearing like in New Leaf.

I apologize if this has already been asked before (I didn't read through all 168 pages of this thread), but my question is: if one of my villagers moves out and leaves an empty plot, and I scan an Amiibo card to have a new villager move in, will that new Amiibo villager start living in the empty plot that was left behind by the previous villager, or will the new villager get their own separate plot?

I'd really appreciate an answer from someone who is knowledgeable about this stuff because Google hasn't been too helpful.

Amiibos have to be scanned in for 3 in game days before they ask to move in. You also have to craft them their requested items successfully three times.

The reason the entire plot doesn't simply disappear but is just left vacant is because you specifically had to put them down yourself, which is why you're also now able to move them to a new position should the old one bother you.
When you scan in an Amiibo villager, they won't be able to immediately move onto your island, but only after you've crafted them a specifically requested item three days in a row. Meaning that if your plot is open now and you scan in that Amiibo for the first time, someone random will probably have moved in by the time the Amiibo villager actually offers you the option (it can take anywhere from one to a few days for a random villager to move onto an open plot).
The Amiibo villager will only move onto a different plot if you have 9 villager spots filled and still have to build your 10th one. If you already have 10 filled spots, they will allow you to choose which villager should make space for them. If there's an open plot, they will always move onto that one.

EDIT: whoops I got sniped lol

Thank you both for your replies. That is fine but it seems like that makes it impossible to lower the amount of villagers who live on my island...If I ever got the maximum ten villagers, then I'd never be able to have less than that, apparently.

I guess this pretty much answers my question. So I would have to scan Amiibo villager on day 1, and then have unwanted villager agree to move out on day 2, who will then leave an empty plot on day 3 which is when Amiibo villager will ask to move in? And then Amiibo villager would take over unwanted villager's empty plot?

I understand that having an Amiibo villager replace another villager is easy when the town has the maximum ten villagers, but my town only has eight, and I was just wondering if it's possible to replace one of my villagers with an Amiibo villager without permanently increasing the number of villagers who live in my town.

But it seems like it wouldn't be practical because apparently I'd have to somehow plan it so that my unwanted villager would ask to move out the day after I scanned the Amiibo villager :/

The scanned amiibo let's you pick any villager to kick out on the third day. You don't have to wait for an empty plot

Is this true even if I have eight villagers living in my town? I assumed that the Amiibo would only let me choose who to kick out if I had all ten villagers, and would otherwise add a new plot if there wasn't one already. If it lets me choose who to replace even when I have less than ten villagers, then that would be neat.

If you have less than 10 I think they force you to build a new plot. You can always try it
 
If I delete the slot where I created my town flag, will it delete the actual design on the airport or plaza? I remember in new leaf, even if we delete it, it would still show. I need space in the slots and need verification.

If it's already up as your town flag, deleting the current design will not delete your town flag.
 
I'm currently in summer getting all the mermaid furniture. I read that the game won't give you a repeat but will it give you all the clothing and DIYs if you played every day since July 3rd? I was able to get one of everything by getting a scallop everyday on my main and alt character but I'm getting close to the end of August and I don't have doubles of everything.

You can catch scallops and get mermaid stuff from Pascal all year not just in summer. You don’t have to worry about not getting everything by August. You can’t get repeats of the recipes.

Oh, that's great! Thank you! Sorry I meant I should have 2 of everything if I'm playing with 2 of my characters.
