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

Is there a way to duplicate or copy and paste custom designs on the switch? Trying to make a path design and the colors are annoying to reproduce from scratch.

yes! hover over the design (don't select it with A) and you'll see options on the bottom of the screen for copy/swap etc

Hope this isn't asked before, couldn't find info from the listed ones.

I now have 10 villagers, and island trips no longer spawn new villager for me.
Does this mean the only way for me to be able to meet new ones is to wait until someone moves out voluntarily from my island?

Can I turn auto save off or avoid that feature?

Villagers wont appear in islands if there's no empty plot available. Indeed you have to wait for someone to move out. You can force villagers out via campsite or amiibo, however.

Did you add any inclines or bridges?

How does one make a village desire to move out if they don't posses amiibo cards? I have 2 random move in villages who I am not thrilled with and would love to get rid of. I find conflicting information on this topic when I google it

1 log incline
1 log bridge
2 stone bridges ( one of them I just got the kit for)

a few. How about I pm a dodo code so you can help?

 

[AccfSally]

Does anyone know how often the villagers mention about moving? Flora was the last one to mention about moving away, I think days ago.

I'm getting worried, I don't want someone moving without me knowing.


Also how many ramps can we have on the island?

How do I modify the river bed?

 

[Ehingen Guy]

How long does it take a flower to bloom after you plant a seed from the shop?

About 3 days. Since they bloom on their own, watering sprouts is unnecessary. Use your watering can on fully grown flowers instead.

How do I modify the river bed?

You need to unlock the Landscaping app (get K.K. slider to visit your island one time and get a 3-star island rating) and get the landscaping permits from Nookstop.

I am able to get a villager in boxes from another island if I have 10 villagers and one is in boxes?

 

[Signatelli]

Does ignoring a villager to make them move out still work? I remember in New Leaf, you could talk to a villager once and then ignore them for a week and they would usually move out. Does anyone know if that still works?

 

[Lotusblossom]

Can you make more rivers going out to the ocean?

Any ideas on how to stop crickets from spawning on a mystery island?
Trying make a scorpion farm but dang crickets are the only thing popping up

 

[baroqueout]

same happening to me, idk what to do

For what it's worth, I time traveled ahead two weeks, and the problem fixed itself. Suddenly the villager was present, their icon was fixed, etcetc.
