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

[Saah]

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. ><;

They aren't bugged anymore, it's safe to use them. If you don't want to use them anyway, you might have to TT until you get a campsite visitor. That way you can be sure that villager will be chosen sooner or later (ask the visitor to move in, win the game, they'll choose a random villager, quit without saving if it isn't the desired villager, rinse and repeat). You could also let another villager move out and then try to move your villager out, the issue might be that they were the last one to move in.

I'm on my second day, and I've just been to a mystery island and invited someone to live on mine.

I know it's another couple of days before anyone can move in, but can I go to more mystery islands and invite the other 2 islanders in the meantime, or do I need to wait? Nook isn't saying anything about the one I've invited.

Just don't want to waste NMTs if there aren't going to be villagers there!

i believe you’ll have to wait - you can only invite one villager per day ;u;

You don't need to wait. I invited all three on the same day, although they will move one at a time regardless of if you already crafted all the furniture for their houses or not.

Is it possible to move out a starting villager to a friend's town and then move them back in? Do they keep the starting furniture after they move out or do they get their proper house?

I have Zucker in my town but he has the dirt floor and I was wondering if I could move him to a friend's town and back to fix it. Same with if my friend wanted to keep the same villagers but with better interiors.

They'll have their regular house interiors when they move back in, thankfully.

I don’t know if this is answered yet, but can you actually change a villagers exercise/yoga clothes? Im just curious.

 

[Lars]

I am just gonna ask this since it was not entirely clear to me.
but once you placed ( and build ) the campsite, can you move it to another location?

Yes, you can relocate the campsite in another location for 50000 bells.

Will a fake painting change its name once you have tried to donate it to blathers? I'd like to get the 4 cursed forgeries with their correct names but would also like to get the miles.

 

[usa-chan]

does anyone know how long it takes redd to reappear? he hasn't shown up since the first time. i already bought and donated the first painting from him, but i've seen no signs of him since. if i buy genuine art from someone else and donate it, will he show up?

 

[courtky]

I moved in Rosie via amiibo, now she wants to move out and I'm kind of tempted to let her go so I can move someone else in since she's the first to ask in almost 2 weeks. If I move her out but want her back, can I scan the card for her again?

Yep, you can always just scan the Amiibo if you want Rosie back. There's no 16 villager cycle like in NL.

The only thing is that this will be a "different" instance of Rosie. She won't recognize you and your friendship with her will be back to zero.

I have a question about the mom's knapsack gift:
My little sister got the pink one and I finally got mine this morning but I didn't notice. (the patchwork one) ^^
My question is, the next year, are we gonna have a different knapsack from mom or it's the same one so we need to trade with others players?

Thank You ! ( ' v ' )

Hey, i am new to animal crossing, i've seen so many videos, when you can use emotions, but i don't have them, how do i get them? i am sorry if someone has already asked this question.

Your villagers will teach you how to use the emotes! They're called Reactions in this game. If you see a villager try to talk to you (you'll hear that pinging sound effect and speech bubble pop up), they may randomly decide to teach you a Reaction. If you just started playing, it may take a few days for the first Reaction to be taught.

Reactions are tied to what personality a villager has and your friendship with them. You can see a reference here. So if you want to learn more Reactions, you'll want to have all the personalities in your town, try to build up your friendship with all of them, and pay attention to when they want to talk to you. Usually after some amount of time passes in-game, new villagers will want to talk to you, so every now and again, you can just try walking in front of a few villagers to see if they'll ping you.

no, they actually don't! you can even try to donate them to blathers again, even though that'll just end in him calling it fradulent, but the game doesn't rename them, nor grey them out when you try to donate to blathers, unlike with duped fossils.

does anyone know how long it takes redd to reappear? he hasn't shown up since the first time. i already bought and donated the first painting from him, but i've seen no signs of him since. if i buy genuine art from someone else and donate it, will he show up?

apparently he appears at least two times a month, but on completely random dates - unfortunately it's just a gamble of luck when he does or not. one thing i've noticed though, is that his little gingko symbol shows up on the not-so-secret-anymore beach when he's there so you save yourself the pain of checking daily.

mom items seem to be randomized (meaning, you get the items of one set (trees, patchwork, etc.)) for a year and seem to change to a random one the next year. there are no guarantees you'll get a pink one next year, but a different one for sure!

Does it matter whether you write long or short letters? For example, will villagers comment negatively in their replies if you only wrote a little?

I used to be able to write every villager long daily letters in past games due to the touchscreen, but because I have tendonitis, writing them key-by-key with the joycons is extremely painful.

So, I haven't been writing my villagers letters and have just been giving them presents in person. However, I'm worried that not writing is keeping their friendship levels from raising, and keeping me from getting any villager pictures. Is it still worth sending a letter if I just write a few words?

I am not 100% sure if it applies to the knapsack, but those who have TTd have said they got different Mom items every year (ie. different tissue boxes, cakes, etc.). So my guess would be that we'll also likely get a different knapsack each year.

considering i wrote rodney a letter that contained nothing but "get off my island" and he loved it, you're good to go, even with short letters. also, not sure if it's any relief to you, but the keyboard accepts input via touchscreen, so you could try tiping like that if you take it out of the dock!

Can you take villagers from another player's campsite?
