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.

Thanks. I'm trying to plan things out before I set up certain projects on my island, and I began to worry, because I already put an incline up and I really don't want to have to destroy it after paying for it. I wish you could cancel projects.

I doubt it's what you mean, but just to be sure... You can cancel a project by asking Tom Nook not to build it, but the donations will be lost forever, unlike the payments for move kits.

When do place a plot for a villager I’m moving in from another town?

I currently have 8 villagers, so 2 lots left to place. Do I place one before talking to the villager in boxes, or can I do it afterward?

If I place it on the same day I invite the villager, will that ensure that they—not a random one—move in the next day?

How long does Rocks take to re-spawn in your island? I didn't know that you can just uproot a baby sprout (money tree) w/o having to eat a fruit, but i had eaten one, and i went to hit a rock, and i cracked it TT...

What are the exact shape requeriments for a pond to become a river? I'm trying to build a lake around my museum but the game keeps making it a river! There are no waterfalls or river mouths involved, and obviously I can't change my museum placement without wasting 100k and two days.

Before; if the villager says yes, there's no way a random villager will move in instead, so you should place it right before you go to the other person's island.

One day, but only one rock can spawn each day, so if you break five rocks in a single day it'll take five days.

I think it's size, not shape. I made a little pond today and expanded it just a half-dozen tiles to the right (keeping the shape) and it switched to river fish. I made a lake that I don't really like and it has river fish, but I don't notice a difference otherwise? Do you just not like that the water is not still, because I don't know that you'll be able to overcome that.

Ooh, no way around it then. It was going to be my only pond, but I guess I'll have to find another place to get pond fish from. Thanks!

Yesterday Maddie asked to move out and I accepted. I also had someone in the campsite, and they asked Anabelle to move (she accepted).

Anabelle's house has gone now and the house is sold, so that's fine. But Maddie is out and about and acting like she never asked to leave. Yesterday all her chat was about how she'll miss the place but it's time to go etc, but today it's just the usual dialog.

Has something glitched here, or does the game only process one move at a time?

Do you think if you invite an amiibo camper today that you are less likely to get a random camper the next day, or is it probably not related? I want to get some DIYs from amiibo campers, but I want random campers, too.

 

[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.

Okay, so, I just experienced that my first amiibo villager changed his request, but he didn't give me a recipe. He chose another recipe I already knew. I don't really know what changed, maybe inviting in another amiibo villager changed his request? Or maybe it was the days inbetween.

You should look at your camping spot before inviting an amiibo. Campers can show up randomly, but if you invite an amiibo they'll probably overwrite it if they're there. But I don't think using amiibos should affect your probability of getting a random camper.

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone saw a post on adoptmyvillager regarding a technique to look for a specific type of villager? Jock, peppy, snooty and stuff. There was a long detailed post on his technique and there were some people talking about it being effective. It involved time traveling and having certain types of villagers on your island.

since the subreddit has been closed, I have no where to find it anymore! If anyone copied and pasted it or has seen it anywhere else, please let me know!

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.

It’s Cabin Wall and it is DIY

I asked in the NNN area but it may be more appropriate here
---------

I'm cycling my first villagers via amiibo (replacing them and then cycling them back in) and the replacement villagers are going to be leaving as soon as they move in fully. I'm trying to have Cranston move out so I can move him back in via amiibo. So i'm using Lolly's amiibo to move her in Cranston's place only to be moved back out. However, somebody wants Lolly when they move out.


A couple of questions:

- Does the person receiving the villager need a plot empty to take someone who is moving out?
- Can I move the new villager (via amiibo) as soon as they are fully unpacked in my town?

Yes to both questions.

Does Nintendo want to make Tom Nook the new face of AC? They're playing him up in this game big-time, while Isabelle is even more niche than in NL, which is saying something. Nook even hacked her Twitter ):

For some reason no villagers are visiting my campsite. Is it because I have the maxed amount of villagers on my island (10), or am I not doing something right. Please help!

Campers are just super rare, unfortunately. The actual odds were released in the official companion guide. It takes a week since your last camper for your odds to be maxed out at a 20% chance of a new camper. Or you can think of it as, "At best odds, there's still an 80% chance that there won't be a camper."

Hello! This is my first time reaching out on a forum as I've come to a problem with my game...

I've finished my game a few weeks ago and Tom has not given me an option for a 10th plot....I have a 5 star rating and the other day when a villager came to my campsite, I tried to trigger the plot option with Tom but I just get the option to kick out one of my villagers even tho I have 9 and have room for one more.

I have no idea if this is just my game going crazy or if theres other people with the same issues I've come across.

And no, I do not have the "I moved out" glitch cause I have no plot whatsoever to may have caused that glitch...Just Tom has never given me an option to place a 10th plot and only gives me the option to move buildings...

Please help in any way, replies are much appreciated ^^^

I don't have an answer but I have a follow up question:
How many human players do you have living on your island?

Maybe if you have a lot of players it locks you out of having 10 animals?

I hope someone can help you, but I would contact Nintendo if you don't get any answers.​

It's a very rare bug, you can try talking about it on this thread in Nintendo's forums but it doesn't look like it's a priority for the devs, sorry.
