In my house, when I press up on the dpad twice when the lights are off, the light turns blue. What is that supposed to be for? Can you change that color?

It's a choice between warm and cool white (yellow/blue, incandescent/fluorescent lamp). You can't change this, because they're not really colors, just warmth.

Did anyone remember seeing a fairus wheel in the trailers for the game?

I have a villager in boxes today.
Does that mean I can island hop today for a new villager? Or do I have to wait until tomorrow?

 

[TinyPrincess]

I was wondering if a villager will remember me if they move out but I bring them back with a amiibo card.
Does their memory of me just restarts? I have a villager I started the game with (Billy) and his house is the default interior. I want to keep Billy but I don't like his wallpaper and flooring. I want him with his original layout without him forgetting me... but I probably will have to sacrifice either way.

When Sable gives me fabric, it doesn't appear in my inventory, is this supposed to just be for conversation or does it go somewhere?

If you have the maximum number of residents on your island, you won't see any villagers on mystery islands.

Link that has a list of items in New Horizons that I have isn't working. I did not know if anyone happened to know (or really have a list of pictures) the variation colors of the soft serve ice cream lamp?

How would you usually charge for DIY recipes? Bells? NMT?

Other DIY recipes seem most fair to me unless you're not looking for them.

You have to wait until tomorrow (or, well, today), when their house turns back into an available plot.

It'll appear in your customization options when you customize an item whose fabric can be changed.

Unfortunately, the villagers won't remember you if they move out and then move back in. You'll have to choose which is more important to you.

I have a question about the glitches surrounding moving in a villager from another person's town.

At what point am I "in the clear"? I got a villager from someone yesterday, and today his correct house is there and he's properly inside and unpacking. Should I wait a day? A couple of days? I don't want want to visit other towns or have people in mine until I'm sure it won't cause an issue.

Does anyone happen to know if we may get more buildings in the future with DLC/updates?

I think you should give it until tomorrow and see if he starts acting like a normal villager (i.e. you can go into his house, or you see him walking outside like normal) to be on the safe side. I haven't personally seen any stories of villagers acting normal and then glitching, so if he's normal tomorrow I'd say you're in the clear.

Yes! There have been hints in villagers' dialogues that the Roost Cafe will be back (it's a coffee shop where villagers and NPC sometimes come have a drink and where Keke usually holds its concerts), the museum will probably get an art section at some point and many believe there'll be more shops coming (in previous games there were a beauty salon, a gardening shop, Kicks had its own shop, etc. so there are many possibilities)

I use this spreadsheet, I did notice a couple of item colors missing but it was literally only two. No pictures, though.

If I place down some paths and then move a villager house on top of it, will the path remain under the house? It kills me slightly you can't place paths all the way under villager houses and I was wondering if I could cheat the system by first placing the path and THEN putting a house on.​

Nope! They even remove the path in front of their houses / beneath the stairs (most transparent tile row), that you can place back once the house is built.
