Plot/Campsite/Villager Reset + Cycling Chat Thread

I was so confused about the whole plot reset thing at first, since even with following a guide and a friend on hand to give me pointers, I couldn't seem to get it to work. I'd set the clock on my Mayor file to 5:58AM the following day and log out, then make a new character and look for the plot. But I couldn't find one and it was frustrating me.

So the thing I realized was, it never works with the first character that I make to run around, apparently because 6:01 or 6:02 is not early enough for the plot to actually be set out yet. I discovered on my next try that I found it just fine, having made the character technically after 6:05AM. So it never works on the first try for me. I have to make a new character, quit, make a new character again and THEN the plot shows up.

Did anyone else have that issue with plot resetting? I suppose I could just take longer talking to Rover, though the one time I attempted that, it still didn't work out on the first try. It always takes until the second attempt at making the new character for the new plot to exist in my town for some reason.

Maybe after logging out at 5:58 you pressed new character before it actually hit 6:00? So even if you only got into the town at 6:02 you still made the character too early. So basically you have to wait till it's over 6:00 in the menu

That could be it. I figured it would be from when I arrived in the station, but I'll give this a shot next time. : ) Thanks.

Also unless you're plot resetting for an invited move in the chances of a plot appearing isn't 100%.

They were all invited moves, in my cases, so I knew they would show up the following day. I know that normal moves and campsite moves take a different amount of time. I haven't tried plot resetting for one of those yet, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
 
I've been plot resetting for Beau for maybe a week now (or so)...............
He's only got near the area I want him once. So super frustrating -_-
 
adopted Chief from someone, and then TT'ed forward the next day. However, even though it's 6:10 am in-game time, I can't find his plot.

Do adopted villagers not always set up the day after? I thought that they do, but so far I'm 3/3 for not finding his plot. :|


Also- I'm 95% sure that he agreed to move in. I was speeding through the dialogue, but he said my town's name and the person I adopted him from saved after I spoke with him. Hopefully nothing went wrong with the adoption, but I don't know why I'm not finding his plot...

Look for his plot, check every corner and when you're 100% sure he's not there, save and quit your game.
TT to the next day and see if his plot is there by using the new character method. (if you still don't see it, saved and quit & TT to the next day, etc)

Sometimes they don't appear the day after you invite them
 
So I should check with my Mayor before I TT forward a day?

And thanks for answering! Every seemed 100% sure it's the next day, so I was starting to worry I had messed up somehow. c:

I would recommend checking with a new character, in case he does show up and you don't like his plot location.

Messed up. I've been doing the villager plot reset trick with Tangy for the past 2-3 days - it's been horribly frustrating! This whole process had got me into the habit of pressing A over and over again so I can get past Rover. I got distracted during a conversation and I look down afterwards to see that I accidently booted up the game with my mayor. Arhhh, I'm so pissed at myself! If I could I'd strangle Tangy for not settling in the spots I liked sooner :mad:

(puts hand on shoulder) i know that feel bro.

i remember that when i was plot resetting bud, his plot came up to a spot that was 1 above deena's but after i reset, i realised i liked it. luckily, a few resets later and it was in the same spot.
 
DAMN YOU FANG.
Everytime you plot which is so freaking rare for me, you always go in the worst places omg.
Is it so hard to move 1 or 2 spaces to the right? HUH HUH HUUUUUUH?
Aaaaand breathe.
 
Just started plot resetting for Mira. So far, she's put her house directly on top of my violets twice, to the left of the flower clock right on the cliff, and right smack on my paths near one of my bridges. Not one plot is anywhere NEAR where I want her house.

This is going to take a while... :/
 
I'm still cycling for Jacques in my main town but stopped for a while to map hunt in my second.
 
Try #10: Mira moves in right to the right of where I wanted her, taking out an apple tree.

It's not perfect, but it might be as close as I can get...should I take it? :confused:
