Has anyone ever noticed a missing villager? The resident service building is being constructed today, all day my villager Celia has been missing. When trying to visit her home, it says she is not home. But she is nowhere on the island, and hasn't been all day.

Would appreciate any help or advice

When visiting Nook Miles Islands do you have a higher chance to encounter villagers of the personalities you don't have in your island or not? I heard that was a thing but I'm struggling to find a good snooty villager (which is the only personality missing in mi island).

Usually, you'll have a villager or two in either the Able Sisters' shop or the Museum. Have you checked there already?

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that the Island Tours give completely randomized villagers, but the Campsite leans towards personalities you don't have.

I believe the only time that the Island Tours give specific personality types is at the beginning of the game where you'll always find a Normal, Peppy, and Lazy for villagers 3-5.

I changed my mind about moving one of my villagers houses but now I'm stuck with their kit in my inventory. Tom won't come up with an option to take it back and I can't drop it. Am I forced to move their house in order to get rid of this?

 

[millefeuille]

Do you visit other people's islands? There's a glitch with some villagers causing this issue. She may have been a random move-in from one of the islands you've visited.

Yeah I do visit friends islands and I think this is what happened. Her house is still empty but I still have the option to send her mail and talk to Isabelle about her clothes / catchphrase.
Does anybody know how to fix this or do I just have to wait until they patch it?

 

[Khaelis]

With the glitch going on with them, I'm a bit anxious to visit other islands for anything... My question is, am I at risk of any of the villager bugs if I do not have an open plot built?

Terraforming has been exhausting my ABD faster than I anticipated, and I am running VERY low on Bells, so I'd like to do a little trading (even though I'd rather not sell NMTs... bleh) to boost my bank a bit soon.

To have 2 islands, do you have to have 2 systems? Or if I have a digital copy and a physical copy will it let me have 2 islands? Not sure how the saves work so sorry if that's a dumb question.

Two consoles. Digital and Physical will always share the same save data on a console.

If I have 10 neighbors already, how do I "choose" which neighbor to replace if that's possible?

Well, if someone visits your campsite, they will randomly select one of your current villagers to replace. It might be possible to change which villager the camper chooses by closing the game before it autosaves and starting again, although I am not too sure on that....
As for amiibos, when you invite them 3 days in a row, you can select which villager you want to kick out so that your amiibo villager can move in.
Other than that, you can try ignoring the villager you don't want. There have been different methods on how to get rid of them but I wouldn't take them as accurate.

Still looking for an answer on this, thank you.

Can there be a one unit space between Able Sisters and Nooks Cranny? I don't want to make any rash decisions before changing my layout.

In general, buildings can be one space apart horizontally. I haven't tested specifically with those buildings, but I don't think it's any different. You need at least two spaces between buildings vertically because of the entrance space, but I assume you are not planning on putting one behind the other.

Actually Tom gives you the option to change your mind. Try harder

Hey. I have a question.
I played online with some people and added them as friends per switch menu.
They accepted my friend request and some of them are online, but i cant see them in my app. Not as best friends but also not at all. Is there something i have to do inside the game so it shows me all my friends?

And another thing: i always loose stuff when i come Home from visiting another island. Is there something to do?

Thank you all♡

So, I want two villagers bounced out and brought back to get their “true” home interiors. A number of questions about how this would work:

• Can I scan the amiibo of a villager I already have in my town and have her bounce the old one out?
• If I instead have my current villager move out to a friend’s island, will that set my relationship with the villager back to zero when she moves back?
• Same for if I have her move out and then encounter her on a mystery island, would she be the same villager with memories and a relationship, or a fresh out of the box?
• Can villagers be invited via amiibo more than once? if someone I recruited via amiibo is forced out, can I rescan the same card to get them back?

 

[AccfSally]

Is it safe to kick out a villager with the amiibo card? I'm trying to move in Marshal by kicking out Graham.

No he doesn't actually, he gives me the option to move someone else's house and gives me their kit just fine. Maybe read my post before you make a rude response.

Can visitors get villagers from the campsite if I can't or aren't willing to have them move in?

Unfortunately no.

 

[Sharksheep]

Is there a database for all the items and their various colors yet?
