Does anyone know about the effects of Time Travelling backwards? Specifically if I have an empty plot right now, will time travelling back a few days cause a villager to move in?

from personal experience, a new villager will definitely move in regardless of whether you time travel forward or backward

Since they allegedly patched the amiibo moveout glitch, could I keep swapping amiibo cards for two popular villagers and give them away/trade them every 3 days?

Nook's has just opened for the day, so I've visited and the stock hasn't changed from yesterday? Exact same stuff for sale, and the one thing from the limited availability stand that I purchased still has a SOLD sign on it. I've never had this happen before, is it a bug? I haven't TTd.

What kinds of clothes can make a villager change their yoga/excercise attire? I want to change some of them.

Anyone see any discussion about what last night's patch actually did? Have the most recent duping glitches been patched? What about any other bugs people have had issues with? I haven't seen anything yet.

is there any real detriment to not having every personality type on your island? i don’t particularly want an uchi or a smug.

I started playing acnh on my bfs switch so when I got my own switch I had to start over. The account and island is still on my bfs switch so will it mess up my new island on my switch if I use the old island on my bfs switch? Probably a dumb question lol but the items I got from pocket camp are on that one and I wanted to use the sign on my new island.

It won't mess up your old island because the saves are stored on the Switch console, so each one has a separate save file.

If you can't redownload those items on your new switch you can always transfer them. If you have a digital copy of the game, make a 2nd player character on your old island on your bf's switch and pick up the items. Then visit your new island on your new switch (playing under your account) using a Dodo code (you can't use local play). and drop the items off at your new island.

If you have a physical copy of the game, you'll need another person to help you do the transfer. You simply play the old Switch and visit a friend, drop off the items at their town. Then you transfer the cart to your new Switch and visit that friend to pick up the items.

By the way, after all that you might want to consider changing which switch is set to your Primary Console. Keep in mind you can only change it every 6 months iirc. Your non-primary switch always needs an internet connection to play your games. Your primary switch can play games offline and any account on your primary switch can play your downloaded games.

You sure you didn't TT in the past? Going back to a day you already played will do that. I've seen people say that a fix is to TT back at least a week. Then TT forward day by day to get back to current date.

Yep it patched the mail dupe glitch, though some people say the 1x1 physical item glitch is still active. There was a discussion about it late last night apparently.

Yes, you won't get all the emotes and you'll have trouble getting all the diy recipes if you don't have them all. For example, having seen people offer up their towns for crafting villagers, I believe that Smugs make decoy ducks, while Snootys make palm tree lamps and coconut juice, and Jocks make beehives. I did get the coconut juice diy in a bottle though, so you're not entirely sol if you bar em from your island.

oh i didn’t know that...hmm i could just buy missing DIYs but no way around the emote thing :T thank you so much for the info!

What is the cooldown for when a villager asks to move out? And when does the cooldown start? The last time someone asks and you say yes or when the last new villager move in?

 

[marea]

How many DIYs can i get from my villagers in a single day? and what times would be best to check on them so i can get as much as available per day?

I don't think a specific cooldown has been datamined. Average seems to be about every two weeks someone will ask if they should move, but I had one this week and one last week.

 

[Lars]

i have 10 villagers.

can i go to someone else's town to get a villager ( that lives there, and is in boxes ) to move to my town?

Sure! Feel free to PM me whenever if you'd like to catalog the Switch.

You can get 3 at most per day. I'm not sure if it's confirmed, but I'm pretty sure that it's linked to how many villagers you have by multiples of 3. So if you have 3 villagers, you get 1. If you have 6 villagers, you get 2. And you need 9 villagers to get the maximum of 3 DIYs per day. They seem to craft for ~3 hours from the time that you first load up the save. So when you first load up the save for the day, you'll want to check for crafters. Then 3 hours later, check again to see if they've changed, and repeat.

If my friend starts a new island & TT's back to March 20th, will I run into any bugs/glitches when I go visit them? Conversely, could traveling to my present-day island mess them up in any way?

Thanks for helping a TT newbie <3

you won’t run into any glitches - visiting an island that’s on a different dare has no effect on your island or save file c:

I am new to these boards and see some people looking/offering to catalogue items. What is this and how does this exactly work?
