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

[Khaelis]

I actually came here to ask about this...

I've seen videos where that was the case, but when I invited Fang over to my campsite and asked him to move in yesterday he gave me the choice between all of my villagers.

I've seen both scenarios play out in videos and I'm wondering what the criteria is for which one occurs?

Random camper = randomly picked
Invited camper (amiibo) = choose who is kicked out

 

[Yoshisaur]

Yes, but the villager that is forced out is entirely random.

Oh that stinks! Thank you!

Apologies if this has been asked alot, Can people visiting your island pick up the turnips in your house?

no, they can’t. nothing in your house can be picked up by visitors

 

[Supernova]

no, they can’t. nothing in your house can be picked up by visitors

Ah thank you! Didn't want my first experience going online to be having my turnips stolen!

I saw someone on twitch a while back had used the Send Gift option in Nook Shopping and it had the option to send to a resident/neighbor.

What is the criteria to unlock that?

 

[Lemons]

Sorry if it's been answered, couldn't find it! Does calling an amiibo to the campsite affect the natural chances of someone appearing randomly? If I call an amiibo, does the chances of someone appearing the next day return to 0 or amiibo doesn't count?

Does anyone know when you're supposed to get each of Mom's gifts? I've gotten the homemade cake (on my birthday) and the tissue box (I'm guessing this is a Spring gift for allergy season?) and none of the others. Are any of them random?

I'm not a vet player and I recall having this option ever since I accessed the Nook kiosk.

When I was reading an in-depth guide on time traveling to get specific visitors, using Amiibo does indeed reset your "pity" count to 0. Unless something changed recently, when you're over 7+ days of having 0 villagers at your campsite, you are at a 20% rate for having a camp visitor. 3 days is around 10% chance. Note that it caps at 20% so every day after the 7th of NO campsite visitors, you have that same amount of chance/percentage.

I have Mitzi in my campsite and want to invite her to stay, but every time she asks Resident Services she says Marina is thinking about moving and I don’t want that. Isn’t there a way I can pick the villager who gets to move or will another villager be “thinking” of moving if I persist?

 

[Mannykama]

If a villager is in boxes can I invite someone in from an island that day? Or do I have to wait til the villager moved out and it’s an empty plot?

 

[Dewasa]

If it's via natural campsite visitor, no, they will pick at random. I've read ways where you have to exit the game the moment the campsite villager says the name of the current resident (Assuming you didn't want said name) so that the game doesn't save. In your situation, it might be beyond that, so someone else more familiar can jump in to comment and say if there are any other options.

If you go the Amiibo route, you will get to pick which villager your campsite visitor should be talking to.

Non-Amiibo campers will pick a villager at random. There's a way to save scum this, but it requires waiting until the autosave happens, talking to the camper immediately and speeding through the text, and if they pick a villager you don't want to move, you have to reset immediately before the next autosave. If your game hasn't autosaved yet, you can reset and try your RNG luck again, but if it has autosaved, then that villager is locked in and you can't reset for a different villager.

If a villager is in boxes can I invite someone in from an island that day? Or do I have to wait til the villager moved out and it’s an empty plot?

You have to wait until you get an empty plot to invite a new villager.

Based on what I know, you won't be able to see any villagers at Islands if you do not have a free open slot in your island. The day the plot is empty, you have that day and that day only to find a replacement villager. If you don't, Tom Nook will sell the plot.

Apologies if this has been answered a lot already, but does anyone know how the game handles default villager houses when they pack up and move to other people's islands? Sylvana is moving out and she was one of the first three I built plots for - if she went to somebody else's town would she go there with the generic normal-personality house or her "real" house with the cherry blossom furniture?

I can confirm that once they move out and goes to somebody else's town, they will get their REAL house. Example, Megan was one of my wife's first 2 villagers. She had the standard basic house. Once she moved into mine, everything was upgraded, wallpaper and all. She even remembers my wife's island.

Anyone know what the smallest speaker is? Or even know a list of all stereos in the game as of now?

 

[courtky]

How many days does it take for someone to ask to move out and how many for another campsite villager? Feels like it's been a week and no new campsite visitor yet

[whoHOO]

Please help y'all, I've done a dumb thing lol I didn't buy Redd's painting the first time he came to the island (I know...) Does he come back and try to sell again or have I really blown it? (Blather's still asks for art...)
