That...makes sense. Thank you. I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't craft either one.

So my villager has been crafting the same thing since this morning at 9:30 am and is still crafting the same thing at this moment. That's not supposed to happen, is it?

Have you played for 3 hours collectively in game? The 3 hour turn over for crafting doesn't seem to be based on real time hours, it seems to be based on hours you've spent playing the game that day. That's what I've noticed anyway. So if, for example, you played from 9:30am-10:00am, save and stop, then play again at 7pm, you will still see the same villager crafting because you only spent 30 minutes in game that day.

This hasn't been the case for me. I'll often play for a few minutes early in the morning to find a villager crafting a recipe, and then come back in the afternoon and find another villager crafting later. I don't always get another crafting recipe in the afternoon, but I rarely play more than 3 hours in a day and I usually get 2 and sometimes 3 villagers crafting in a day.

This for me, I usually find 3 villagers a day crafting.

Is it possible to get Redd or Gulliver more than once a week?

Yeah, I've gotten Redd twice in a week, two days apart. Though I haven't seen him since cause you know how luck works. Also have no seen Gulliver in a while, too.

Oh that's nice to know! I guess I've just been pretty unlucky... I've only seen Gulliver 5 times since launch if it helps you feel better ;__;

I think I've only seen him three times, lol. I've had Wisp and Saharah a ton, though. Leif, too.

Wow I guess spawn rates are just super low?? For Celeste and stuff I sorta understand, but Gulliver being tied to the golden shovel is a bit tough

Alright finally got a campsite villager and kind of want to use it to let go of one of our normals to balance things out a bit, does hard resetting the game work if they select a villager you don't want to move out or if you fail to get them?

yes but you have to do it before it auto saves. as for failing to get them, if you continue to talk to them, the option to invite them will pop up again regardless of whether or not you lost the game

Oh okay thank you!

Second question because I may or may not have just learned this the hard way

When playing with a second account, do the items that the second account pick up that the first account dropped get deleted? Because I dropped a bunch of tools + clothes for the account but when I went over to them they weren't in the inventory.

they shouldn’t? i’ve dropped stuff for my alt characters from my main account and none of it ever get deleted

Huh that's strange, it might be a bug then? Or maybe it's because I did so before the character had set up their tent?

I just dropped the items on the first and picked them up on the second, I didn't check until I ended the session and they weren't there. They also weren't in the first character's inventory or storage.

So my villager Moose was making the DIY, and I have been trying to ignore him so he'll leave so I decided not to talk to him at all. I was playing for several hours, so it's not a matter of collective time spent playing. But I had my girlfriend come over and check what he was making to see if it was good and I didn't think it was good enough to warrant me talking to him. Maybe it's because I didn't talk to him at all?

Were you playing multiplayer? Like both at the same time? If so, then the stuff that the 2nd player picked up will be in the "Lost and found" box in the residents center My son and i play a lot together and we thought it deleted them too until I checked the bin the next day and saw all the stuff he picked up in there.

But if you werent then im not sure...

That looks like that's what happened, thank you!

Will villagers wear clothes I mailed to them? I mailed a villager a hat, but they didn't wear it yet.
