Help! So my friend has Friga moving out right now in order to adopt my Phoebe. Is there a way for me to adopt Friga and my friend to adopt Phoebe? Essentially trade the two villagers?
 
When is mail delivered? I mailed someone a gift and I'm curious if that kind of mail is instant or not.
 
hi all! I am in the process of restarting my game and wanted Rudy, my favorite villager, as a starter... but someone pointed out he won't have his original furniture if he is a starter villager. when you are plotting the three houses down for villagers #3-5, do they have to come from a mystery island/random or can you visit someone's town and invite a villager who is moving out? ideally if the latter, I'll try and find a Rudy in boxes haha
 
i just got my first gold rose! is there anything i could breed it with to make another one? and to do so would it require a gold watering can?

Hello! I'm getting this game soon and am planning on buying some villager amiibos. This may seem like a silly question but does there have to be an even number of boy and girl villagers on the island, so 5 of each?

And does there need to be a mixture of personality types, so could you have all peppy for example? (not what I'm personally planning lol)
there doesnt need to be any specific balance of gender or personality type, most people just prefer to keep that balance so that theyre not hearing the same dialogue from like the same 2 personality types they have on their island.

nope, one of you would have to void the villager and get an open plot first.
 
Hey! Not sure if this question has been asked before (im on mobile and can’t use CRTL+F) but is it possible to invite another villager from another town to live in your town if you don’t have an empty plot? Could you ask them to replace someone? Thanks in advance!

you can’t, unfortunately. you’ll need an empty plot and less than 10 villagers to invite someone from somebody else’s island ;u;

sorry to hijack your answer, but do you know if you can invite villagers from other islands for the initial three house plots you put down (instead of getting randoms/villagers from islands)? :)
 
My friend has had three villagers move out. Two naturally (Rory and Ken) and one forced out through amiibo cards (Erik). When I had an empty plot a while back Rory moved to my island from my friend's island. This morning I tried to invite Erik to my campsite through amiibo (I really, really want him) and got the answering machine message saying he's moving. I assume he's stuck in the dreaded void and I've got to wait for one of my villagers to move out naturally to free up a space for him, but will I get Ken from the void first? If so, is there any way of avoiding this?
 
I have a question about item customization. It seems you can customize items you craft, but can you customize items from the Nook store? I tried to customize some of them, but I wasn't able to. Do you have to do something different to customize them? Or is it not possible? I know you buy color variations of items from the catalog as if they were separate items, but can any store-bought items be customized at all? I tried looking at the customization section of the FAQ at the beginning of this thread, but I didn't see anything on this particular subject. But maybe I just missed it. ^o^;>

So, it's kind of complicated. There's a ton of non-DIY furniture with color variations. A few can have aspects that can be customized, but those customization options generally don't include the "main" color variations. It's kind of like how you can customize, say, a Wooden Simple Bed two different ways. You can customize either the wood paint or the bedding, but only the different wood paint colors show up in the catalog as separate items.

I'm not sure if there's an easy-to-use list, but I'm currently using Nook Plaza as a reference for these items. You go into the Furniture category, then use the Customizable and DIY filters to only have items that can be customized that also aren't DIY. I'm not sure if the list is 100% complete/accurate, but it's the best I have.

As a general rule, for non-DIY items, you can customize aspects that are "paper" or "fabric," but you can't make huge changes like different paint colors. For example, a Paper Lantern item has different wood color variations. However, trying to customize it just lets you change the paper patterns. If you wanted a Paper Lantern in Dark Wood but you only have Natural Wood, you have to buy/trade for the Dark Wood variant. There's a few exceptions, like some non-reorderable items, such as the Fishing Tourney items. Those can be customized, and those variations are indicated in the catalog. Also, apparently I can just customize the Joy-Con colors of the Nintendo Switch? Okay, sure, if you say so.

It really depends on the item. Some items you buy from the store can be customized, but others can't. You can use a website like Nookplaza to search up the item you're interested in and see if it's customizable. Be aware though that the website shows other color variants. Customizable items will have a paint brush icon in the top corner. Also be aware that you might not be able to customize all the color variants. In my experience, you can customize an item's fabric or pattern but not its body color.
 
Do gold roses breed more gold roses? Or is it only come from using gold watering can on black roses?

If it’s raning do I still need to water my flowers?
I don't think so!
Raining = you watering yourself which is 5% breed rate. But if your friend comes water your flowers it will still be 15% more chances each friend until it's at 80%!

You need to get them from mystery islands, sorry! You can get Rudy as a starter, ask someone to hold him for you, and cycle his house out.

I imagine the only way would be to adopt him from another island.

Gold roses don't breed gold roses, sorry!
 
I'm massively uncomfortable with a villager that I have no choice to invite into my town. What is the fastest way to get them out? It's the first campsite villager and I've tried TT'ing forward and back and it hasn't changed.

Have you tried going forward one day after TTing? TT one month back, open the game, save and quit, one month and a day forward, open the game, check if the villager wants to move out, if not close without saving, TT one day forward, check if they want to move out, close without saving, and so on and so forth.

The fastest way to get them out is to use an amiibo, but if you're posting here you don't have one.

That's what I'm basically doing, I've TT'd to a month in advance everyone pings me to move except that one. I don't want to use Amiibos because I'm not sure if they're still bugged. ><;
