Can you accidentally invite a villager on an island by talking to them? I spoke to a villager (Flora) and told her not to come to live on my island, but when I went to the next mystery island it was not a normal personality villager. I thought the first villager you invited was lazy and the second was normal, so I'm worried she's been invited just because I spoke to her several times!

heyo, so i bought raymond off someone on discord a while ago and he’s had sky wall/flooring since i’ve had him & didn’t mind that it wasn’t his original but now it’s kind of bugging me lol. is there any way to change/reset the wallpaper/flooring for villagers? ;//

Has anyone seen a good HHA guide yet? I only need 2 more HHA rewards. I'd like to decorate my house in such a way that I can get those and then I don't have to worry about HHA anymore.

The companion guide shorthand is the best I've seen yet.

I’m trying to get rid of the last villager who moved in (moved in randomly when I had an open plot). Can the last villager who moved into your island request to move out (through TT or otherwise) without having other villagers move out first?

They can, but nobody knows how, and it's pretty rare.

So I don't 100% know how the void works, but I have a now voided villager because we weren't able to find someone to take her. We've been visiting other islands pretty much daily for the past couple days for Celeste, is it possible for the people we visited to get our voided villager?

Definitely.

I'm recently only getting 1/2 wasps a day despite shaking all my trees, is there not supposed to be 5 a day or is it up to 5 a day?

Are you sure they were all hardwood trees and not fruitless fruit trees? There should be 5. They also won't spawn if you have someone over.

He might be hacked, since I've never heard of anyone who's managed to change a villager's flooring or wallpapers. I don't know if anyone could help you with that.

Thanks. I guess I was hoping for more because I still have questions that the guide doesn't seem to cover in specific. In NL the basement didn't count for HHA. The guide claims that the basement raises the minimum number of points that is needed to get each rank, but doesn't address if the basement counts specifically. Anyone know if it counts now?

When you are filling those first three plots, you have a random chance of finding any of the three personalities, assuming you haven't invited any. If you haven't invited either a normal or a peppy, then you'll find both normals and peppies on random islands. They're tied to the specific plots (it's been a while but I believe lazy is plot 1, peppy is plot 2, and normal is plot 3 - peppy and normal might be reversed though, but that's the gist of it) so you can find and invite them in any order.

Yes I'm absolutely sure because I know where my fruit trees. I also know that when you have your gates open they won't spawn, but I can't find 5 a day anymore for some reason. It'd be understandable that I'm getting 4 and missing one but to get only 1 or 2 sounds odd to me.

Like NL, is there a 12 bush rule in NH? I want to try using bushes as fence around the plaza

 

[Idastee]

Is there any villager who have an house look like this? (white clay house with straw roof)

Sorry for double quote but I just checked again today and only got 2/5. I've planted lots of weeds around cedar trees that used to spawn wasps quite regularly, do you know if the weeds stop nests from dropping?

Thanks

 

[AutomationAir]

Silly question - will your villagers pick up wrapped presents that are left on the ground? I wrapped a gift for Sherb but he was asleep, so I left it by his door to give to him this morning since I didn't want to get it mixed up with the rest. This morning, it's gone

Oops, I found it hidden behind his hedges, lol

I know that wood won't drop if it doesn't have a safe space to land, but if you remove enough items to give it a safe space to land, then it will finally drop. I'm pretty sure that in the older games, there's no "check" like this, so dropping furniture and such from trees would just have them fizzle into nothing if the area around them is blocked.

So perhaps it's the same for Wasp Nests? If there's no safe space to land, maybe they won't drop at all. It's probably a pain to clear out some space, but maybe give it a shot?

Yeah I remember in NL the wasps would still drop but the nest would disappear. I have lots of fully grown weeds around the cedar trees which took me a few days to grow so I think I'll sacrifice finding the wasps for this but yeah I think with the wood not spawing if there's not enough space, it may be the same for wasps, bells and furniture since I only found one furniture item today as well.

Is weather just RNG? On my first island it had never rained once. Since I have restarted it has rained like 2/3 of the time. Just (un)lucky?

Is it safe to give away villagers moved in with amiibo cards to other players? or is it still bugged?

Is it safe to give away villagers moved in with amiibo cards to other players? or is it still bugged?

The Amiibo-specific glitch has been fixed since March. The "Moving Out" glitch which affected all villager adopters (not just Amiibo) has been fixed as of the 1.2.0. patch a few weeks ago.

There are still some minor glitches that still exist that involve all campers (not just Amiibo), but they don't affect adoptions and only affect the island of the campsite.

I've been trying to catch that Mahi Mahi fish thing at my pier since may started. I go through about 100+ bait every day and I only seem to catch seabass.... Am I doing something wrong? Animal Crossing is new to me so I'm still learning about the game.

 

[frogpond]

If a villager with a starter house moves into a different town, will their house still be the starter house or their normal house?

If you're fishing at the pier and you're in the Northern Hemisphere, then that's just the RNG for you. Some people get it within a few pieces of bait, others take hundreds.

If a villager with a starter house moves into a different town, will their house still be the starter house or their normal house?

Their house will be their normal ones, not the default starter houses.
