OMG POPPING BALLOONS. POP THEM. DO IT. THEY DROP ACTUAL ITEMS AND NOT BALLOON FURNATURE ANYMORE!!!!

I don't know if it's been mentioned already, but I'll say it anyway ^^;
I visited the campgrounds at night, tried to interact with the bonfire, and my mayor did a cute little dance thing! I love it!

For anyone wondering, I think the update prevents any moves from happening (or have happened). I hadn't played in 9 months and everything was still exactly as I left it, villagers and all. I only had 9 though so that could be why nobody moved.

While I can't say for sure, I have read online reports of at least 10 mayors (myself included) who haven't played in awhile and no villagers leaving.

I did lose my 1000 weeds I was planning to get my other mayor's gold weeding badge

If this is a feature I think it's a really good one. I know so many people are frightened of opening their town but so far it doesn't seem bad

So Wolf Link finally gave me the option of inviting him to move into town. I asked him, but he said that the town was at maximum capacity already. Confused, I left to go and check and it was true that I only had 9 villagers. I went wandering around and eventually found a PLOT that had POPPED UP DURING THE DAY. I'm not sure if this comes with the update, but that plot wasn't there an hour ago. :/

Maybe you can wait tomorrow and just kick out that new villager to get Wolf Link.

Just tried, I can't kick out a villager that hasn't "settled in" yet.

 

[Pokemanz]

Okay so I remember hearing that when you kick out a villager, the new villager takes their spot and plots right where they were? Yeah, that's not true. I skipped ahead to kick the offending villager out then went back to the correct date and Wolf Link plotted right where my beloved Roscoe used to be instead of where the other one was.

I'm actually glad because even though the other plot fit around the flowers and path perfectly, I had already turned that into a little flower garden when Chief moved out. I hadn't done anything with Roscoe's old space so this helps fill the emptiness.

I am in an odd situation, my 3DS needed to be repaired twice in the past both times the system battery needed to be removed, when I got it back both times my system date was like in 2010 or something, I feared my villagers would move out due to time travel years to the current date, but none of them where gone.
Recently I stopped playing the game for two months and when I started with the update nothing had changed everyone is still here, so I am wondering if I am just extremely lucky because I have never lost a villager because of inactivity or involuntary "time travel" or I am unaware of something

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

*screams* Going to have to go home and charge up my DS and become obsessed again, been on haitus from it for a while but now I want to start a new town and play with the new features!

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm relieved that wasn't true!

Fml I've popped 3 balloons and they've all been balloon furniture LOL. Unlucky.

 

[Heyden]

I just realised, amiibo card activated villagers tend to move into spots of your old villagers, unless it's just a coincidence that it happened like 20 times lol

 

[shoegal1203]

I kind of like the update more than I thought I would It felt a bit overwhelming at first, but I'm finally getting the hang of the daily challenges.

There is just one challenge I don't quite understand. Maybe someone can help out and explain it to me. I am supposed to make more house exterior available but Tom Nook doesn't give me any hints about this...

 

[Crash]

Nope both today and yesterday I got special characters (Wendell and Blanca) without the use of any cards.

ah i'm sorry, i didn't add that in. you get a different special NPC each day, but for characters like isabelle, lottie, etc you need the amiibo for.

So.. When ''kicking'' out a villager, they go into boxes right? They don't just.. Vanish, right?

While I haven't tested it out, I remember someone specifically mentioned the villager they kicked would be in boxes afterwards.

This new update made me want to play it again and it makes me happy! Also stressed because I left it when I've just restarted, so I have to unlock things from the start again ��

And I've just remembered that while these new features are nice, villagers still have very repetitive dialog so I'm worried I'll get bored fast again

 

[DLGR]

I am so so sorry if this was already answered but I'm in too much of a frantic panic and crying mode that I just need an answer ASAP. I bought WAY too many valuable villagers in the past and I see that the update is taking me to when it's snowy....I left off the game on THANKSGIVING...TWO YEARS AGO! (I TT, lol)....will some of my villagers be moved out? Or will it preserve them? I am WAY TOO SCARED TO EVEN TOUCH THE GAME NOW. T___T Someone help!! Thank you!!

 

[Cascade]

Have you guys notice that Blathers is yawning after you talk to him lol.

 

[GuerreraD]

As stupid as this question may seem, it's actually very important to me and my frustrated decorative plans, so please someone answer me! Just to know if this update of the game resolves any of those frustrations...

Cabana dresser, confirmed to work now!
Kitchen island, confirmed yes!
Exotic chest, confirmed yes!
Gorgeous chest, confirmed not...
Blue bookcase, confirmed yes!
Classic bookcase, confirmed yes!

There are some furniture that look like you could put things on them, but you actually can't (like dressers, short wardrobes or libraries). Can someone check this out for me, please? Ones that I remember right now were the mush closet, patchwork dresser, sweets dresser, regal dresser and picnic table. Thanks in advance!
