Hi! If you're wondering whether you can go back to your home island and add second floors to your villagers houses, then no, unfortunately not!

You will be able to redesign their spaces with any furniture you've catalogued, but unfortunately you won't be able to change the size of rooms or add additional rooms. Hope that helps!

Very helpful, thank you ^_^

Actually I think you can. I have done 30+ homes and remodeled most of them, and I was always able to add a second floor.

After you have completed 30 HHP vacation homes, you unlock the ability to remodel villager homes on your own island. I think Smolcutie was asking about adding a second floor to villager homes on their own island, not on the Happy Home Paradise island. Hope that makes sense! 😊
 
Hi, ( not sure if this is the right thread for this question....) Um i have Bam...and I've had him since day 1 and i would like to get someone else in his place. I have someone that wants him but i can't seem to get him to want to leave. I've read plenty of articles and discussions on the topic of what works best when trying to get a villager to move out...some people have said ignoring them, sending them mean letters (idk how...do i just say mean things to him in the letter?...idk if i would want to do that) or sending or gifting villagers trash works best ( like rotten turnips and old tires and stuff) buuuut other people have said constantly talking to a villager non stop works better...so which is it? Completely ignore him or annoy him to no end until he wants to leave?

It’s pretty much just RNG. There are methods with time traveling to get him to leave. That, or you could use the Amiibo method, which is my personal favorite. This requires an Amiibo card, however. Treating them poorly or sending them rude letters doesn’t matter. It would just be a waste of your time.
 
Wasn't sure if this question would have been thread-worthy, because it can technically go here... but,

Since I am starting up my new island on March 1st and plan on playing it daily for (hopefully) a full year like I did when the game first released, I was considering making an island journal thread, but I'm not sure if I should or not. I'm creative, but not with writing. My writing skills are... atrocious, at best.

My creativity is more aligned with creating things (such as landscaping and house interior, etc), but I'm not sure if this would be worthy of making a thread for since the content would be rather lacking in most areas until I at the very least unlock terraforming. But at the same time, wanting to have things ready for the thread would likely make me rush landscaping, leaving me little to do later on.

I don't know if its just my brain focusing on the negatives, but I'm just having a hard time convincing myself. I know I could do daily updates of things going on, etc, but... eh.

Anyway, going to be away from the screen for a little bit, so excuse any slow replies. Feel free to DM me if you feel the reply to this might get too long.
 
Okay this maybe a weird question but is it possible to close your game if you get a Fortune from Katrina that you really don't want and reboot the game so you can get a different one? Kinda like what you did with the Campsite villager where they would choose someone by random but if you close the game they pick someone else.

I think it might be determined for the day, unfortunately. I vaguely remember trying this and getting the same result a couple times in a row before moving on.

Hmm so I guess its not possible. Guess I'll have to use additional users to get different fortunes.

I guess I would try to differentiate would the content fit within the screenshot thread for progression or you want a journal where you can look back on your progress. For example my island journal is just for my own entertainment. It's just a creative outlet for me similar to an art dump. The nice thing too is you can let it die and come back to it whenever you want. I was updating mine once a week and I dwindled to once a month to now whenever I feel like it.

There's no reason to apply pressure to yourself to get things out in a timely manner. It's just for yourself and you enjoying the journey of designing your island.
 
Hi.
A few days ago i plant a tree behind a tree so this one don't grow.

Stay that way for a few days and today it was a full grown tree? Anyone know why?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you using a fruit sapling? Only fruit saplings can be used to prevent tree growth (other saplings won't work).
 
Okay this has been driving me crazy so I need to ask this question. How do you get wallpaper from talking to the villagers at the Resort? I talked to all of them who I did homes for and none of them gave me wallpaper. I've heard that its suppose to increase your rank but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

What designer rank do you have and did you spend at least 20 minutes decorating their home?

I forgot what it was but it the one where I got 15,000 Poki and it hasn't changed since then. I designed like 60 homes so far and maybe I was relying too much on the Room Sketch app to go so fast. Maybe I have to take it slow.
