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

[0ni]

I'm pretty sure it's possible but i'm having a crisis of confidence here lol :

Is it possible for the last villager to move to your island then ask to move out first? I don't know if it's not possible or if my villager is just being stubborn...

Hi guys
Im new here

I recently bought Jack amiibo card and when I’m trying to scan it it says

“... it seems you can’t chat with Jack right now.”

is this because he is a special character and he can’t be invited to your island as a villager ?
also just in case I think K.K is coming to perform in my village tomorrow so maybe that’s why ?

if someone can help I would be glad

Jack, the Halloween NPC is currently not available in the game and likely won't be until September/October. He can't be invited to your town as a villager, but will likely appear at some point to tell you about the Halloween event.

Awww thank you.
pitty sins I also bought Blanka so I guess I can’t invite her neither ?

Correct, she's not in the game yet either.

You can get posters for both Jack and Blanca if you scan those amiibo while at Harv's island. So that's something!

Quick question about villagers moving in/out as I'm trying to avoid the empty house glitch!

So yesterday (before I had read up on the glitch), I told one of my villagers to move out (already had 10 total, they were not pushed via Amiibo or anything) so today she is in boxes. If I understand the glitch correctly, I should avoid traveling to anyone's island or having any visitors as that could result in me passing on a glitched villager or the vacated spot being filled by a glitched villager.

I just wanted to see what the ideal/fastest way for me to get back to 10 villagers would be so I wouldn't have to worry about getting or passing on a glitched villager. I don't have any Amiibos on me, but I assume I can just use NMT to visit islands to find someone to recruit? If I'm correct about that, what would be the earliest I can do that - like would I be able to do that today with a villager in boxes or do I need to wait until tomorrow to have an empty housing plot?

Thanks!

Oh I can ? I went to Harv’s and I scan Jack card too but it’s says that he can’t appear there, where can I find his poster then ?

thank you for helping

I manage to get Lucky and Coco in my village so I have my “spooky” team hehe
Actually Coco is sooo cute

You have to wait until it’s a vacant plot. They won’t show up on islands until then.

Yeah, it just means you can't take a photo with them at Harv's island. But after you scan them there and go back to your own island, go to the Nook Stop machine in the Nook Shopping part and there's a tab where you can order posters of any amiibos you scan in at Harv's island. You can also get posters of your current villagers by inviting them when you're at Harv's island, and they'll show up in the same place on the Nook Stop machine.

Is it possible to permanently reset a villager's clothes? I've given a few of my villagers clothing that looks absolutely terrible on them, and they won't stop wearing them in rotation with their other clothes. When I talk to Isabelle she can get them to momentarily reset but they'll be back to wearing the same clothes again pretty shortly after...

 

[Romaki]

Does anyone know if you can reset the request of an amiibo villager? I have two now with impossible diy requests and the first one didn't change his request when I invited him again for a second time.

I was about to make a separate topic, but I'll try here first. Very early on, I think you're forced to build a bridge, which is a log bridge. Every river doesn't have the same width across. For example, the left river is 3 tiles across, while the river on the right of the island is 4 tiles across. I noticed that the log bridge covers 4 tiles across, while my brick bridge covers 3 tiles. Do bridges have different lengths? Or do they adjust to the width of the river?

 

[btlboxer]

@Uffe I'm pretty sure it wont let you build it if the river is too narrow/wide.

Is it better to breed flowers in huge patches, or many small ones?

Huge patches.

I'm just wanting the name of this wallpaper and whether it's a DIY recipe or not. I'm guessing it's part of the log furniture.

Yep, the Cabin Wall is a DIY recipe.

Can the last/10th villager to move into your island, ask to leave? I know in New Leaf they couldn't, but New Horizons seems to be particularly generous this time around so...

I don't know if there's a better way, but keep giving them new clothes. It seems to eventually make them cycle out the older ones. That's what I've noticed anyway.

This might sound like a dumb question, but I've been thinking about giving away a villager so I want to soothe a worry of mine that might be unfounded.

if you give away/'sell' a villager, do they still exist in your game file/universe? like, could you run into them on a mystery island in the future?

I haven't confirmed this myself so take it with a large grain of salt, but I've heard that your last moved-in villager *can* be the next one to move out, but not the first one to ask to leave. so first you'd find someone asking to leave that is not the most recent one, speak to them and tell them not to go, then after that it's possible for the most recent one to ask to leave. if someone can either confirm or deny this I've been wanting to know as well.

I've moved out several villagers and later found them on islands (to my surprise, lol). from my own experience I wasn't able to encounter one that moved out again in the campsite, but it seems like the mystery tours doesn't take into account who you've met before/had live on your island.

The bridges adjust. I think I read that 6 spaces is the maximum distance, but I don’t know for sure and I don’t know the minimum.
