How many Dreamies do people usually have? There's so many cute ones! Also there's WAY more villagers then I thought. Lol

Lots... It's very tragic when someone has more than ten dreamies. Like I do. But I think most people don't have more than 15?

Will flowers grow on spaces with designs on the ground? I placed clover designs inbetween all my flower X patterns but... I think that may have been a mistake.

Nope! Placing custom designs is actually the best way to curb flower growth.

Is there a beach umbrella ITEM? I know there is the beach umbrella umbrella but is there a furniture item that is a giant outdoor umbrella? I thought I saw one somewhere but now can't remember where and don't know what exactly its called!

thanks

Ok soo after reading a lot of character profiles and watching videos. I decided who my Dreamies are. Most of these characters are probably pretty popular already... Anyhow! Here is my list.
Dreamies:
Merengue
Sherb
Dom
Julian
Judy
So how do I go about finding these guys? My village is full. Except Merengue. A friend gave me her Amiibo and she already lives on my Island. Do villagers move out randomly? Etc. Sorry if I'm asking a lot. There's probably some place to find this information.

first off, that's a super cute dreamie list! yes, villagers will have a "thought bubble" above their head and they may tell you they want to move. i've found that this happens about once a week in my game, sometimes more, and sometimes less. when you agree to let them move out, the next day they pack up their house, and then the day after that, you will have an empty house plot. once this happens, you can use NMTs to go on islands to find your dreamies or trade with others that may have your dreamies - they may ask for bells, items, or NMTs in exchange. "trading" for a dreamie involves a trader who has a villager that is packing up their house. you would drop off the items and then go talk to the villager to convince them to move to your island. the plot will change to 'sold' and the villager will start moving in the next day! hope this helps and good luck with your dreamies!

You need:

• to have had the shop for at least 30 days
• to have spent at least 200,000 bells in the shop
• to have had Mabel visit

I didn't even get offered to build the shop is what I mean. I paid off the first house installment and blathers has his museum built but still cant get nooks cranny

When does Jolly Redd show up? Or is he random like other vendors?

 

[moonolotl]

Hes pretty much random! Although ive noticed he seems to show up a lot less frequently
I've heard there are a lot of glitches around resulting in him just deciding to not spawn at all (i experienced one where i missed him the first time he ever showed up and so he glitched and never showed up again until i bought a real painting from someone and donated it to the museum).
Basically wait it out for a little while, since these glitches arent insanely common so you shouldnt have to worry too much!
If he doesnt show up and you dont have the art section open yet, ask someone if you can buy some real art from them

Are there any shelves in the game that hang on the wall, and let you place items on them?

Here is the forum link that have people selling/trading villagers https://www.belltreeforums.com/forums/new-neighbor-network.244/
Villagers do move out randomly but there is a way to move them out if you're willing to time travel. Don't worry about posting too much. We're all here to help. But you can dm me for questions if you want.

You paid off the miles, but did you ask Nook to build you a house?

I wish! But sadly no, although when you place shoes or hats on the wall they show up on a shelf.

If you have a villager move to somebody else, then you get them back from that same person, that villager is supposed to remember you.

My question is: If that villager had one of the starter houses when they lived with you, if you get them back, will they still have the starter house? Or will they have their real house?

I imagine they would have their themed house, not their DIY house.

To add to what others who have replied to you have said, regarding the thought bubble method of moving villagers out, if a villager you like has a thought bubble just ignore them until it goes away. From what I've read, move out requests are rare, if not impossible, the day after denying a request, but your chance of getting one goes up slowly with each passing day. But if you don't interact with a villager who wants to leave, then you won't reset the timer, and there's a good chance the game will pick a different villager to want to move out the very next day.

Usually if a thinking villager doesn't want to move out, the thought bubble is just to sell you clothes for inflated prices so it's not like you'd be missing a whole lot. Happy hunting!

I can confirm that they'll have their real house.

How does everyone get so many NMT? Why is it a currency for trading now? Like literally how do you get so many?? Do you just save up the miles or..?

 

[kiwikenobi]

I have a few questions: what makes items appear in the recycling bin? Is it just building things like bridges? And how do you get rusted parts other than finding them in the recycling bin? Or is that the only way? And do the rusted parts only have the one use:

Spoiler

making the robot hero

or are there others?

 

[JKDOS]

I don't recommend any of these as I am against NMT currency, but obviously this is how people get NMT.

1. Sell a villager you own. Depending on the villager, it can be worth as much as 2000 NMT, and as little as 10 NMT
2. Host a turnip selling party on turnip exchange. Depending on your prices, you can charge 1-5 NMT per visit
3. Host a cataloging party - Charge NMT per visit
4. Host a town with Celeste - Charge NMT per visit
5. Host a town with Sahara - Charge NMT per visit
6. Host a town with villager crafting - - Charge NMT per visit
7. Buy 300 NMT for $10 on Ebay
8. Hack NMT with save editors like the Ebay sellers do
9. Buy NMT with bells gained by duplicating glitch, or with hard earned bells (much slower)

I've poked around turnip.exchange and based on the sheer mass of users I see, you can make a few hundred NMT per day for just letting people buy or sell turnips.

I have 10 villagers on my island and 3 of them are anteaters, which I love. So I want to get the other 4 as well. Suppose somebody has one of those 4 I'm missing in boxes and I go over to their island and invite that villager to live on my island, will I get to chose one of my own current villagers to move away, similar to how you do it with an Amiibo card (after you have invited them to the campsite 3 times)? Or do I have to have a plot available already by making sure one of my current villagers has already moved out, before I invite the new anteater villager?

 

[udinafrog]

If you buy a piece of art from Redd, and other person comes to visit, they can buy the same piece?
Thanks~

And it seems the answer is: no, they cannot.

You'll have to wait until a villager moves out and the plot is empty before you can adopt a new villager. Only campers can force move-outs.
