If you see a villager that has moved out at a Mystery Tour island, will they remember who you are? Or are they reset?

 

[Clock]

Is there a chance of a specific personality or species by time or something? I'm going island hopping because one of my villagers moved out recently and I'm looking for a decent or favorite villager.

They don’t remember you. They can only remember you if you send them to a friend and get the very same one back.

Ok this has to have been asked a ridiculous number of times I'm sorry but

I have 10 villagers. I let one move out. How many days will it take for the open plot to have a random move-in? Or does a tenth random move-in occur when you have 9 villagers? Just want to know how badly I'll need to rush to do nmt islands/campsite should I go looking for new villagers! (Y'see I'd prefer not to time travel...)

I thought so. I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the response.

How much does time travelling/not speaking to your villagers for months damage your friendship with them?

Unfortunately, it seems like there's nothing that influences anything regarding the Mystery Tours. It seems like a species is chosen at random, then any given villager from that species is chosen at random without regard to personality. If you look through that thread, this was also confirmed through datamining.

You're only guaranteed one in-game day where your plot will remain empty. Afterwards, you have a chance of getting a RNG villager or void villager (if you've done multiplayer); it seems like this is true even for the 10th plot. Sometimes the plot fills immediately on the "second" day, other times it takes a few days. This is similar to how RNG villagers worked in previous games. So you kind of have to rely on the Mystery Islands/adoptions from other islands and not the campsite (unless you get incredibly lucky).

I wish you the best in your island hopping! I spent all day yesterday island hopping, so I totally get that it can be stressful, haha.

Conveniently enough, it doesn't change friendship at all! You can check out this document of datamined info.

I got a camper, but it stuck and he keeps talking how he's waiting for me to talk to Tom Nook about him moving in, but there's not dialogue with Nook about that. What should i do?


haha don't reply, i figured it out, i found a housing kit in my inventory

Hello, not sure if this has been asked before, but just wondering if wasps drop or scorpions/tarantulas spawn when your gates are left open? I know they haven’t in past games and don’t when you have someone visiting your island I just wondered if they would if you left your gate open without visitors. Thanks ☺

iirc all of them spawn

How do you find someone trustworthy enough to help you move islands if none of your IRL friends play AC?

If they have more than 100 reputation points, they're trustworthy.

Is there a list with all the possible player island layouts?

 

[Adamno11]

If a villager is moving out for an incoming campsite resident, do they go into boxes that day? The day after? Not at all?

They go in boxes immediately that day. They'll be gone the following day.

Perfect, thank you!

 

[LCookie]

Alrighty then, thank you!

Does anyone have any numbers on how much feng shui affects your game?
Also is it just for your hha score, or does it make a noticeable difference in game mechanics?

 

[Mu~]

I want to restart the game and have some questions.
Currently I have Molly and want my husband to keep her in his island for me. Once I unlock those 3 houses at the beggining, can I immediately invite her to 1 of them? Or at least can I invite any random villager I see in a deserted island?

It's just for the HHA score. You get 500 points for every section with items of the right color (e.g., your living room's right wall has a red wall-mounted tv), meaning the maximum amount of points you can get on your house is 9,000. And that's by making every single room in your house use an ugly color palette.

They have to be invited from mystery islands!

Okay, so I have these two recipes... That require each other to craft. Which means...I can't craft them? What gives?

The Document Stack is actually both a craftable item and a regular item that you can buy at Nook's Cranny, and I believe it's the only one like it. So once you buy that, you can craft the Scattered Papers, and once you do that, you can craft the Document Stack, and once you-

I think the infinite loop is just a silly joke from the devs. You "craft" some Scattered Papers just by knocking over the Document Stack and making a mess. You then "craft" a Document Stack by making everything neat again. : P
