I've got a question. It's something I've been curious about for a little while now but since I'm no good at finding answers on my own I'm still curious. I've been curious about what will happen to a villagers "memories" if they have a house on your island and the archipelago but eventually u decide to let them move away from your island and replace them with someone new but they still remain on your archipelago?? Will they still have "memories" of your island??
Just to give a bit of clarity to what I'm asking lets say you have Bluebear on your island and you decide to use the chocolates to invite them to create a vacation home in the archipelago. You create a vacation home and every time you go there bluebear is there. Later you decide to let bluebear go from your island and replace them with lets say Rolf. Would the Bluebear on the archipelago still remember things from her time living on your island or would those "memories" be erased cause she's no longer living on your island?? I'm just using 2 villagers at random, the first 2 names that came to mind.
 
I have two questions.

1. I recently restarted my island, and tomorrow (New Year's Eve) my Resident Services will be closed so it can upgrade to a building the next day. Does this mean that I will not be able to participate in the countdown?

2. I got the DLC for Christmas and am wondering when to buy it from EShop. I have heard that you just have to upgrade to a house, but I have also heard that Resident Services must become a building first. Which one is correct?

1. i bought acnh on december 31st, 2020. obviously, new years' eve. i wasn't able to participate in the countdown because i didn't have resident services built, so as far as i know, you won't be able to experience it firsthand. however, you can most definitely fly over to a friend's island and experience it with them! i'm sure that would make it super fun and you still wouldn't miss the wonderful countdown.

2. i'm not entirely sure, but to be safe, you should make sure you have a house and resident services built. after you download the dlc, you'll get a call from tom nook asking you to meet him in the airport where you'll find lottie, one of the main characters in the dlc. i'm not going to go into more detail on what happens next because i don't want to spoil things for you. i'm sure this would still happen even if you downloaded the dlc right now, but i would still wait. rather be safe than sorry, you know?

my best guess would be no, because when you chat with your villagers on the archipelago, it's mostly about the house or the vacation life. however, i haven't experienced this myself, so i'd say go right ahead if there's a villager you're wanting to kick out that has a home on the island. although if you really value said villager, i wouldn't, because if they forget everything, that would be sad. hope this helps! <3

it's a very pretty place for a rock garden in my opinion! before you set it there, though, just make sure you're fully clear about the instructions for spawning a rock garden because messing up wouldn't be fun. good luck, and please show us the final result! <3

I checked this thread to see if this had been answered before I'm really sure it hasn't
So about the campsite villager rewards, when I amiibo invite a villager to my campsite for the sole purpose of trying to obtain new DIYs, when I craft the item a villager wants the reward they give me seems to always be a new item not in my catalog(unless I'm mistaken and they gave me an item I already had but I don't remember that) Is the reward they give you random or is it guaranteed to be something not in your catalog(provided yours isn't complete)
 
Are there any guides out there that show all the fencing options and all their different customizations? I noticed villagerdb does not show them customized.

Go to Nook Plaza, select "Island Development" from the drop-down menu on the left, then select the "Fencing" filter. If you want just the ones that can be customized, you can also select the "Customizable" filter.
 
how do we sign up for the fishing tourney?
any time that it's the day of the fishing tourney (the second saturday of jan, april, july + october) you just head over to the plaza and talk to cj who will tell you everything you need to know! no need to do anything before the actual day :)
 
I missed what the tutorial said for taking photos of the HHP designs. It said there was a way to hide a character when taking the portfolio photo after designing the vacation home. How do you hide a character (such as myself) from the photo?

press down on the left joystick - also when you’re in camera mode through the nook phone there should be a little image to remind you of this just in case!
 
Is treasure hunt with villagers still a thing? I just realised that after almost a year on my island (I did some breaks but I'm playing on a very regular basis) no one ever suggested to do a treasure hunt... I remember on my previous islands I was quite often asked to take part on treasure hunt with villagers...

Yes it's still a thing, one of my villagers asked me to participate in one just before Christmas.

Thank you! Does this work with the Joy-Cons when playing handheld or only when docked using a controller? I was trying the left joystick and it didn't seem to work…I wasn't docked though, I was using the Joy-Con handheld.

i have a lite so can’t say i know for sure, but i see no reason as to why it would be any different between handheld and docked - it may have just been a glitch?
