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

Does anyone know how the villagers on the map are organised?

I used to think it was move in order, but then that got proven wrong when the order stopped matching up to what the map showed.

I then thought it might be friendship so when I moved 2 villagers in at the same time, I ignored one and gifted the other every day. This didn't change it.

Personality type doesn't line up either.

All seems very strange.
 
Not really an FAQ but doesn't seem to warrant its own post - has anyone else seen a reduction in villagers asking for a new catchphrase lately? It's been literally months since anyone asked me for a new one! My three most recent villagers still have their default catchphrase, and my fourth most recent only changed his because he picked it up from someone else. Has something changed here, or just another case of terrible rng?

its probably bad luck. Bianca asked me today about changing her catchphrase

I’d say it’s a run of bad luck. If you want a villager to change their catchphrase, could you not just talk to Isabelle and ask her to reset their catchphrase? I’ve had villagers pick up a few bad words from other islands. I think it’s just random.

Thanks, but it's actually their default catchphrase that I'm looking to change, I like to personalise them 🙂 So yeah, I'm always waiting for villagers to 'ping' me, but it just feels like they never do anymore. As you say, it must just be bad luck, I guess!
 
I'm only now starting to terraform my island (cuz i've been lazy lol)...but..can you not put a ramp to where Redd's ship docks? I'm just really tired of using my ladder all the time.

You can't put a ramp on the beach, but you can remove the cliffs next to the beach to create enough space on the grass south of the beach to put a ramp there.

So in other words, I would still need to use a ladder to climb down? TvT...

No. You just need to climb down once to terraform the area around the beach. Here is an example:

Alternatively, you can just flatten out most of the north part of your island leading up to the secret beach and skip the ramp altogether like this:

Completed the campsite a week+ ago. Made the mistake of talking to the first visitor and the only conversation path was to agree to let him live on the island. I stopped talking to him hoping he'd eventually time out and leave but apparently the game is hardset on having me pick a spot for his house. Any way to abort this move in or am I stuck letting him move in?

Your first camper will always be a forced move in unfortunately.
