Tent almost every day during Cycling?

[Dizzie]

So Im cycling trying to find some characters and move some to my main game and I have run into a weird little exploit... Im not sure how easily reproduced it is but I've been logging my passed 2 cycles to try and see if there is a pattern of some sort.

First Cycle I didnt mess with time, just the day.
9/3 Begin
9/4 Tent
9/5 New Neighbor
9/14 Neighbor packed
Next Cycle

Cycle 2 (I began moving the time to 1:30pm every time)
9/3 Begin
9/5 Tent (1:30)
9/7 Tent (1:30)
9/9 Tent (1:30)
9/10 New Neighbor / Tent (1:30)
9/12 Tent (1:30)
9/14 Tent (1:30)
9/15 Tent (1:30)
9/16 Neighbor packed
Next Cycle

Cycle 3 (starting now, will continue with 1:30 and post results)
9/3 Begin (1:30)
9/5 Tent (1:30)
9/6 Neighbor announced move (on 11th)
9/11 Neighbor Packed
Next Cycle

Cycle 4 (Starting again as I want flo out)
9/3 Begin (1:30)
9/5 New Neighbor (1:30)
9/6 Tent (1:30)
9/7 Tent (1:30)
9/8 Tent (1:30)
9/11 - 9/12 Think I might have broke the cycle by telling a visitor not to move here (fairly sure this is true)
9/15 Neighbor packed
Next Cycle

Cycle 5
9/3 Begin
9/5 New Neighbor
9/9 Tent (1:30) (Freya Convinced to Move in) (this will probably alter the tent cycling as well)
9/11 Freya Moved in
9/14 Tent (1:30) (Its marina... dammot I want her)
END

Cycle 6



Not sure if this is just a coincidence but I'm getting a tent almost every day just by TTing day by day at 1:30 every time. Some days there is no tent but it comes back a day or two after which is sooner then 1-2 times a week. (Also yes every tent has a NEW resident)

Note: I reset back to 9/3 on the day the neighbor is packed as the time skip from the pack day backwards doesnt seem to count. Can move an entire month or two without the game noticing.

Had to stop cycling for a bit as my other town is full. Though I think its triggered when you spawn a tent the first time, you need to set it to that same time for the next day. Round to the closest 00 or 30 in the time.

So say you start the time at 2:20 and theres a tent, then keep starting it up at 2:30 for each day.

Once you talk to the camper though and play any game, invite or deny a move request it stops working though, so be careful and just use wiki to see their personality. Once you change the time get through the login fast before it is 2:31 (or what ever time) Most of the times the tents didnt appear I had idled with isabelle too long.

that's pretty neat! i had a similar situation in that i was TT-ing back and forth (the 2 day TT trick) to get unwanted villagers out and i hit some kind of hotspot in that i had a full tent almost half the time i was TT-ing

only problem is i got ugly villagers in the tent

Thanks, I might try that :3

 

[Dizzie]

Thanks, I might try that :3

If you have any success in figuring it out further, post results, maybe we can get it to work every time if we can figure what is exactly triggering it.

That sounds pretty interesting, I may have to try it at some point and see

Wow, interesting. I'll probably give this a try. Hmm, I had a camper yesterday, wish I could remember what time I started up!
