That's not true. If there aren't any villagers on your mystery tours, either the plot will be open tomorrow, or it has already been claimed. Could it be the plot you need to invite a camper to?

I guess it might be open tomorrow. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. It's not sold, because it doesn't have the sold sticker on it, but there was no one on the islands at night. I just remember from past experience if you don't invite a villager from a mystery island in time, a random villager shows up, and I'm scared that it will be one that is ugly or mean or that I just don't vibe with. Will my plot be sold to a random villager by tomorrow, or will I still have time to hunt for villagers?

Who is your favorite villager? Why are they your favorite? I'm new to Animal Crossing and I've met few villagers here and there. But, I've yet to "Zing" with one. So I'm genuinely interested to know about some peoples favorites and why.

question: what would cause villagers to stop giving recipes? my friends town has this problem, no recipes at all at any time of the day. i thought his game might have been corrupted, but the game seems fine other than that. what would cause the villagers recipes to disappear?

Mostly it's because of the design. For example, I love Audie and Chief because they look like foxes, Bianca because I love her colors, and Judy because of her gradient fur. Then there's Knox and Sterling, who I want because their medieval theme fits with my medieval island; in AC:NL I wanted Coco, Lucky, and most red-eyed villagers because they fit with my hell theme. And then there's Molly and Roscoe, whom I love because they were my first villagers of their respective personalities in AC:NL or AC:NH - so basically, I pretty much imprinted on them. And Kyle and Pashmina I love because of their style in both clothes and decorating back in AC:NL.

You can only invite one villager a day from the islands. I saw on the previous page that you had a few plots that were sold, so if you invited someone already then it won't matter if you place a new plot down, you won't find anymore villagers on the islands.

You can invite amiibo after the third time you've invited them, correct? So as long as I don't invite them to live on my island the third time, I can keep scanning them and invite them sometime after that?

How long has he not had any villagers crafting? I have some days when no villager is crafting. It may just be bad luck.

potentially a silly q, but do we know if additional shops/NPCs are anticipated to be added/when that might be? I'm thinking of Brewster in particular, and I know Redd recently was added. I miss that coffeeshop!!

i’m assuming a few npcs will be added with each big update but i’m not sure about shops - there was some brewster-related dialogue prior to the nature day update so maybe he’ll be added in the summer update that’ll likely drop sometime in june-july?

Is there a glitch currently where if you gift your villagers an item, 2 of it appears in their house? I've been seeing it mentioned here and there, and if that's the case I'll just stick to gifting foreign fruit until this issue is fixed.

I've been gifting every day and I usually gift furniture. I just got Tia not too long ago and I gave her her first gift which was a panda bear and noticed later she had two in her house so I thought she already had one as her default. Googled after reading this and her default house does not have one! Guess there is a glitch then? She's the only one I've seen it happen too, though!

Hey everyone!

Ever since the last update, my Player 2 can't find their wasps or item from a tree.

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[Uffe]

Not a question, but a little fact I learned today. If you look at your map in full screen, there are dotted lines that create squares on your island. Each square on your map is 16 x 16, except when they're reaching the furthest (the small sections of grass and mostly the beach) northern, eastern, southern, and western parts of your island. I thought I'd share this in case people are worried that they might be using up too much space on their island.

If your villager moves to someone else's island and then moves back to your island (e.g. to get their proper house if they were a starting villager) will they still remember you? Will the friendship level you got to still be the same? or does it reset and you have to start from scratch?

They'll definitely still remember you. I'm not sure if the friendship level is exactly the same, but it definitely doesn't reset; people who've done this have said that they were able to give gifts to their villagers immediately. Presumably, the friendship level just stays the same.

Does anyone know if you can evict a villager before they've moved in? (i.e. I recruit someone on a random island, can I evict them today with an amiibo card or do I need to wait till tomorrow?)

i’m assuming you’ll have to wait until they’ve completely moved in but i’m not entirely sure ;;

What are all the items you can give that will not alter a villager or their house?

Red Cat: the recipes have been missing for about 2 weeks now. im wondering if his other friend whos town he visits may have given him a fake item or something? he doesnt time travel, but he does visit other peoples islands that have a large number of friends and trade items. could that be the reason that maybe the other friend gave him a hacked item or something?

I just found out about the Sanrio characters. Why were they excluded from New Horizons? They look really cute. Is it something like they're going to be added in a patch? Or some legal issues?
