I am picking up a villager in boxes from someone else's island today. I got my villager into boxes but do I have to wait (TT) until she's totally moved out or can I visit the new villager while mine is still in boxes? I am worried that letting her move out completely will allow someone else to move in.

You'll have to wait until the plot is empty to invite a new villager. You should have one day where the plot is empty until you invite someone, and then starting the day after that, you'll have a chance for an RNG villager to take the plot. So as long as you only TT to the next day, you should be fine.

Thank you. So I can plant one bag of bells per day but I can have multiple bell trees scattered all over then?

Yep, that's correct. After planting the Bells, you can even pick up the tree and move it around if you'd like, so you don't have to leave them scattered around.

Thank you for replying. It didn't occur to me that I could move the trees so they are together! I was 'marking' them by discarding a conch nearby. I'm 20 days into this game.

Hi! Just wanted to report on two things happening in my game and wanted to see if this happens to someone else... and if anyone know where I can report this in order to fix it:
1) since the beggining my bamboo wont produce shoots, I’ve plantes bamboo, let it grow, and it’ll sprout one shoot once it matures but never more, unlike in past games. I have planted bamboo from mistery tours and from Daisy Mae and this happens with both.

2) shining spot not spawning, it’s been now three days that a shining spot has not spawned on my island, I have looked everywhere and even dug every single spot and it wasn’t there... it’s been the first times I habe moved a building so I’m wondering if it has anything to do with that...

thanks!

i’m afraid i can only answer the first question but unfortunately, bamboo will only sprout one shoot now due to players complaining about how frequently they sprouted in new leaf ;u;

Oh no well at least its not a bug

I know that the probability to encounter a new villager in the campsite depends on when you had your last camper. The question is: do amiibo campers affect the probability?

Someone just pinged me to move out, how long do I have to wait before they're in boxes and I can hunt for a replacement? I don't want to accidentally pick up a void villager

Your villager will be in boxes tomorrow. After tomorrow, the plot will be empty, and you can invite a new villager. You'll have to find a new villager by the end of that day, otherwise you'll have a chance of getting an RNG villager (and if you visit/host others while you have the empty plot, you'll obviously have a chance of getting a void villager).

Exact response I needed thank you so much!

Is there a list of clothes by category for Label?

Can you cycle out villagers by going back in time? I want to move all my buildings for a new design, so I'd love to make good use out of picking a random day so it'll be moved instantly, but I don't want to travel forward.

I just got around to testing this one for myself, and it works. I went back to the 10th, talked to some villager, and then traveled to the 26th (to have some time for them to travel out) and one of the villagers I didn't talk to was thinking about moving out. Not the one I wanted to, but at least it does work.

This way you can also grind fossils, money rocks and clothes without having to go forward in time and spoiling your experience going forward to many different months. I wonder if it'll work the second time around, but it's not like I played those days for the first time either.

Is Flick's visits to your island completely random? Or does he visit at least once a week? Flick hasn't visited my island since the first time he visited. However I've seen C.J 3x already... I have wayyyy tooo many tarantulas occupying my beach

It's just random unfortunately. I literally haven't seen CJ for all of April except for the Fishing Tourney, and I saw Flick, like, once.

I'm sure that if you give up waiting for him and just sell your Tarantulas to the Nooklings, then he'll show up. : P

Hahaha, that is my greatest fear! I don't know how many times i've been tempted to just sell them all just so I can call my beach a beach.. and not a hoarding ground for tarantulas . Would you happen to know how many NPC's can visit your island at the same time? Because i'm always paranoid that Flick is probably hanging around my island probably hiding from me...

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that you will generally only have one special NPC at a time. The exception is Celeste and Wisp, who can show up at night even while another visitor from the day is still on the island.

I really wish that a feature like the Police Station from NL was in NH... If you didn't play NL, you could find out what NPC was visiting (if any) once you built the Police Station. I've seen the villagers occasionally talking about visitors, but it's obviously not a guarantee that the dialogue will show up.

Maybe you should just own it and make the Tarantula Beach a thing. I'm sure Flick would be delighted. : P

When are you suppose to get the golden slingshot recipe? I gotten the 300 balloon achievement and my next balloon wasn't the golden one.

If I miss the golden balloon, do I never get the recipe?

The golden balloon isn't always the very next one, but it usually comes soon, so you'll find it in not too long. Just be sure not to shoot it down over water or where there's nowhere for the present to land, because I've heard that you have to shoot down another 300 balloons to get another one to appear.

I had Label, Celeste, and Wisp all on my island today. Celeste and Wisp can both appear with other NPCs. I think the others are only one at a time.

Do we ever get the opportunity to buy items from villagers' houses? That anybody knows of, of course. A few of mine have some items I like...

i don’t think this is possible, unfortunately. maybe sometime in the feature if they implement retail or the flea market?

Can someone explain how watering flowers work? I heard if friends come water your flowers, higher chance of hybrids. But does it matter how many people water your flowers? Is one person watering once enough or having more people water each flower increase the chance?
