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

Hi, This isprobably a question that is asked a lot but I do not know how to search for it.
I recently started a new island and I have a question
When placing the villager houses for the third, fourth and fifth villager, is there a way to know which personality type will move into which house?
Like, I already invited a normal villager but I want to keep searching for a peppy and lazy villager. So I don't want to finish those houses yet otherwise a random one moves in. But my normal villager can already move in. I'm wondering if I can just finish that house. and if there is a way to know which one I could finish.

i don’t think so. i’ve had marty on my island as well, and he’s frequently asked to move out ever since he moved in lol — he actually just left my island a few days ago.

was he by any chance the last villager to move in, or the last villager to ask to leave and you said no to? if he was, that’d explain why he hasn’t asked to leave, but otherwise it all just boils down to rng unfortunately. good luck!

Oh my gosh, yes, he was the last villager to move in. I didn't realize newest villagers couldn't ping. Thank you, this information will save me a lot of time in the future. ><

In the (maybe far) future I want to create a game and I am wondering about the equivalence of gold, nmt, and fish bait in order to give players options.
How much gold would you say equals 1 nmt?
How much fish bait would you say equals 1 nmt?
Thx, in advance.

How many emotions are available? I don’t think I have all of mine yet, and I want to try and get the ones I’m missing before I move in my last villager.

 

[Bluebellie]

Also, is it possible to experience last years Halloween or this years Halloween? I missed the one from last year so I never received the emotions. I tried to time travel backwards, but the event didn’t pop up.

Unfortunately you can’t experience last years Halloween because Nintendo did something, I think they locked it, but I think if you time travel ahead to this years you can experience it.

I just checked but it looks like it time locked for this year as well. I hope I didn’t miss the emotions forever

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. I time traveled forward. The plaza is decorated and Isabelle is dressed up in the announcement, but no one is in costume expect me when I pull up the game.

Did you change the time to after 7pm? I think if I remember correctly from last year’s Halloween, the event started around that time. If it doesn’t, then it’s probably time locked this year like you said. Also, I’m so sorry you missed the emotes. If it is time locked, you can always change the time back after October 31st, you should be able to do it then, as it won’t be locked after that date.

Yes I made sure it was around 7 pm. When Isabelle is introducing, she is wearing a costume, however when I walked around the town, no one else was wearing the costume, and there was no Jack. I guess I’ll have to wait for this year’s event. I hope they bring the emotes back. I’ve been trying to get all the ones I’ve been missing.

You should be able to get them, as I don’t think they took those out from last year. Also, good luck! The Halloween event is new for me too this year, so I’m sure it will be a blast!

Hi, I have a somewhat specific question, but maybe someone can help me regardless
I got the 3 star rating today and tomorrow K.K. will perform. Also this morning Mabel gave me the kit for the Able's shop to find a location for. Now the spot I have in mind for Able's is blocked off by a river which I plan to remove. I had also planned to move Nook's once I get the terraforming tool. So now I'm wondering if it is possible to keep Mabel's kit until tomorrow and place it when I have the space, and to also move Nook's the same day. That would be slightly less time consuming since I wouldn't have to place Able's somewhere where it's in the way and it would also save me the relocation cost for that building - if Mr. Nook will agree to move the store while the tailors are being built.

-Plot 1 is for the lazy villager
-Plot 2 is for the peppy villager
-plot 3 is for the normal villager

you will want to only complete plot 3 to let your normal villager move in first

If you invite a villager with amiibo, and then they later leave (moving out, negotiation, or adoption), is it possible to re-invite them to your village with the same amiibo?

yep!

 

[JammerHammer]

yep!

Hmmm, so what stops people from just mass producing desirable villagers and selling them? The time it takes to get them to move in and out can be almost negated by time travel.

nothing, really - even if you just look here on tbt there’s a number of cycling threads where people will move in any villager you want for a certain price! it just depends how many materials people have when it comes to inviting in villagers and how dedicated they are to take the time to do it

Hi!
I have a small question because I'm not sure this feature is in Animal Crossing or in Final Fantasy: can you change which side you place an accessory on your face? I mean the post-op patch, can we choose on which eye it is placed, left or right?
I'm looking to create a anime character I like in game and the side is quite important.
Thank you!

 

[Croconaw]

-snip-

There isn’t a way to change the side unfortunately. I think that would be useful is some instances, but it’s unfortunately not possible.

Thanks for your quick answer!
Just to be sure I don't make a mistake: this particular item is placed on the left eye, right? Try to find pictures of it but I prefer asking here also sorry if it seems dumb!
