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

[WordKnight]

One of my villagers mentioned someone new moving in, but the plot doesn't say it was sold. Will this effect anything, or is this just something that villagers say if there's an empty plot? It's a little concerning to me because I was hoping to get Marshal from someone but I don't want to waste any money (or their time) if he can't move in.

Did the villagers specifically mention a new villager's name in that dialogue? If not, I'd say you're safe.

From my experience, villagers will specifically mention a new move-in by name once the plot is sold. I'm guessing that before the plot is sold, they may have generic dialogue like, "I wonder who will move in next? I can't wait to meet them!" Things like that.

They didn't, so that's good. He just said something along the lines of "I hear that someone new is moving in"

Ah that makes sense.

Thank you for the help ^-^

No worries! Yeah, that dialogue is a little confusing. If it'll make you feel better, I know I took a picture of the, "I heard someone bought the plot. Their name is [x]," dialogue, and I can find that and upload it for you if you'd like.

But I think as long as you invite Marshal sometime today/this in-game day, you'll be fine!

It is. Ah you don't have too, It should be fine as my villager didn't say anyones name specifically and I think I have some memory of another villager talking about someone and mentioning a name moveing in after a plot was sold.

Ok ^-^
I just got a little worried when that dialog showed up, since it hadn't happened to me yet

If I move in a villager with amiibo and my friend wants the villager that's being forced out, is it safe for her to take that villager in this patch (1.2.0a)?

 

[Sid]

So I'm going to do a complete restart and wanted to know if there's any way to more easily transfer my bells from one name to another . Other than asking someone to make several trips for me. Is there any item that can be bought that can be resold for the same amount or close to it? (So that it can all be done in one transaction? )

my ideal scenario would be to fill my inventory up once with my higher value items then give everything to someone then them give everything back to me in one easy trip.

people do that kinda thing right?

Are the RV amiibos able to be scanned into the game? I know the Sanrio ones can't (just their posters).

yes! all the amiibo villagers (besides the sanrio + other franchise collab villagers) can be scanned into the game ;u;

are uchi villagers extremely hard to move in from the campsite or does deirdre just hate me personally
for context, i'm doing the trick where you close the game if they suggest replacing a villager you want to stay. most of the time when the prompt comes up where i can invite her she declines, and i haven't won a single of the chance games. the only times she's agreed to move in is when she decides for herself without the card game.

Yep!

Items sell for 20% of their value. The only thing more space-efficient than using 99k bell bags would be to buy NMT from someone; each NMT is valued around 200~250k, and they stack in tens. But that'd mean finding a seller, having them do multiple trips, giving the NMT to your holder, restarting, getting the NMT from your holder, finding a buyer, and then doing multiple trips to sell all your NMT. Basically it's space-efficient, but not time- or effort-efficient in the slightest.

Villagers can be extremely hard due to pure luck; I was doing that trick with Soleil and the first time, when she suggested replacing one of my dreamies, she was pretty easy to convince. Then it felt like she got progressively more difficult; she rejected me three times in a row. I'm not saying something got added in the newest patch, but it's definitely something normal.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but how many villagers can buy a plot a day? I have Raymond unpacking, Kabuki randomly moving in to a plot today, and I invited Freya on a mystery island tour. I made the mistake of laying another plot again. I can't do mystery island tours, but can I visit someone else and invite a villager from their town to mine? Or am I stuck hoping no one randomly moves in tomorrow morning?

If I create another character on my island, can I delete the character later without deleting the profile on my Switch? I just need some mules to buy art from Redd.

 

[Puddin]

Hi, I have one question I spent days looking up with no answer. I know you can have another switch user join you on the island, but most people add them on day 1/early game. Does anyone know what happens if you want to have a second player character live on your island while all the 10 plots are filled? I have a couple villagers I would be too sad to lose so I can’t try it myself. Please let me know what happens if you add a second player character when you already have 10 villagers

yes, you should be able to. once you go to the start up screen, hit the minus button and there should be an option to delete the side characters. just make sure to read everything carefully as tom nook guides you through it!

The player characters are separate from the animal villagers. You can always have up to 8 player characters at a time regardless of how many animal villagers you have.

Players do not take up plots for villagers so you can have the maximum amount of players with 10 villagers at the same time. I'm not exactly sure what the maximum amount of players is though.

How long do you guys play Animal Crossing per day? Even though you have acnh, do you still play New Leaf each day? I’m getting new horizons soon, but i still enjoy new leaf, so i’m concerned that my family will never see me again

Mine pretty much didn't, I play all day!

I haven't touched NL since sometime last year, but even if I was actively playing it, I don't think I'd want to play it simultaneous with NH. Not only would that potentially make me burnt out (TOO MUCH AC!), but I feel like I don't have time for that either. I already spend a lot of hours (probably too many) per day playing NH.
