You can TT back to it. Only future events are time locked; past events are not. The only exception to this is when a new event replaces an old version of the same event. So you can TT back to the Museum Day event in 2021 until a new Museum Day update comes out in 2022.

A villager of mine had asked to leave Sunday or Monday and I said yes. I said goodbye the next day (his in-boxes day) but I forgot to play the day after that. Can I TT to play my open plot day? How?

I really mean to try to buy Eugene or Wart Jr. At the very least I'd like to island hop rather than get a rando.

If I turn off the friend's app on my Nookphone, can my friends still find my island if I've opened my gates?

You can TT to play the open plot day. As long as you have not played on any day after that, the game has no way to tell that you TTed back and it will be as if you played the very next day after you last played. If you're not sure which day the villager asked you to leave, TT back to Tuesday. If the plot is empty, you can get your next villager. If your old villager is in boxes, just TT to Wednesday to open up the plot.

Do all the DIYS that the villagers craft repeat or do they change depending on the season?

i believe you press A to make all villagers (and even yourself) do their preset emotes once you leave the decorating mode.

there is a guide on the right hand side (may only appear when you have the camera app open, I don’t remember off the top of my head). It is all only in symbols, so it can be hard to interpret. But double check that, cause I may have the button wrong.

Thank you so much! Can I still "buy" my new villager from someone online - will the game know I TT'd if I visit someone else's town to invite their villager that's in boxes to my open plot?

Yes. It doesn't matter what time it is on anyone else's island but your own. As long as you don't start your game with your Switch clock on any day before or after the first day a plot is empty, you won't get a random move-in. You can indefinitely remain on the same day as long as you want; just make sure to keep setting your Switch clock back to that day before you start ACNH and don't leave ACNH in sleep mode long enough to let your Switch clock go past 5 A.M. the next day.

Thanks so much! So, I'm 99% sure, and I tried searching on this but just to confirm, say last night I played Monday's date instead of yesterday's date. If I still want to play Monday's date, do I have to wait until that time of day or later or can I play "earlier" (1 PM Monday's date, even though I've already played at 8 PM Monday's date)?

You can play earlier. TTing earlier in the same day has only minor side effects including rotting turnips, changing turnip prices, unwatering any flowers that were watered that day, and maybe undoing wishes you cast for shooting stars that day. If you don't care about any of those things, then there is no consequence to TTing earlier in the same day. Villagers will not move in or out by TTing within the same day.

Is it possible for me to get villagers from other islands and put them in one of the three starter plots that Tom Nook has you set up? I want to get my desired villagers without wasting a ton of nmt

 

[katalevitz]

I have a question! Can first two villagers move out? I mean can they ask you to a permision to leave your island? Or you must kick them out?

 

[Moritz]

I dont know at what point in the game villagers in general start asking to move out, but they are treated the same as any other villager so can and will ask to move away at some point

 

[Alaina]

Another TT question. Will time traveling into the future, one day at a time until a villager asks to move out, and then another day to the open-plot day, and filling the open plot by going to someone’s town and inviting their in-boxes animal, screw anything up if I then return to the present once I get the animal I want moved in?

Do I need to also play the day after they move in before traveling back to the present from the future?

Should I TT several months into the past to get a villager to ask to leave instead, does that work? I got a new villager today - would they be gone if I traveled to the past?

Once you have the sign on the plot saying it has been sold to a villager, there is no way to lose the villager. If you immediately TT backward after acquiring the villager, then the house may not appear on that day, but the house will definitely show up as soon as you advance at least one day forward at any point. TTing backward never undoes any progress you've made. Some of the events that trigger when you start a new day like Isabelle's announcements will not trigger the day after TTing backward, but they will trigger again whenever you advance forward in time again whether that is TTing forward or just letting the clock advance on its own.
