The rarity/sensitivity of some bugs is completely out of proportion to their value too! Drone beetles and blue weevils are worth like nothing, yet drone beetles are occasional while blue weevils show up, like, never. I've probably seen more cyclommatus stags than I've seen blue weevils

I've had the same experience. I never see blue weevils but I've sold many cyclommatus already and I have enough saved for a model. Still haven't seen a scarab or walking stick.

This!!! For ages I thought Blue Weevils were super expensive because they were the rarest spawning bug for me and I was so happy every time I caught one. Then I found out it's worth 800 bells

That's pretty low. It's the equivalent to finding two sea bass.

I've also never seen a walking stick or scarab beetle, and I play at the hours they're supposed to spawn all the time.

Not sure if you mean number of bugs in the Critterpedia or spawn rates but if I run a lap around my town I'll probably hear 100 "bug buzzing away" sounds I think since New Leaf either the spawn rates for tree bugs has been raised or how flighty they are. Or I could just be imagining things...

And I only really go in the store now to sell things. I'm not even a month in but all my furniture colours are just so ugly to me that I think I need to get my stuff from balloons I pray for Cyrus to come back and make my furniture look decent!

LOL I meant in-game bugs but you 100% make a point

Except for bug-off though. The number of bugs immediately decreased that day!

That's terrible to hear. I'm either going to have to stay up late or get up early to catch the scarab.

Omg yes. There are days where I'd come out of my house and be surrounded by butterflies and locusts, like where were they all during the bug-off!

Yep, I'll probably end up with 300 tanks of Miyama stags in front of Nook's Cranny every night that I go searching for one Good luck on your hunt!

Maybe they hide when Flick is around hahaha!

I really wish the process for moving out villagers was easier or could be expedited in some way. I don't want to time travel because I feel like that's (to me) cheating. I've watched videos on it on Youtube but the process seems convoluted and I don't understand it well - you have to wait for a bubble on a villager and then...restart the game so that the bubble moves to another villager? Then there was some talk of cooldowns...idk, the whole thing is confusing but I need to understand it.

They don't want to be turned into models

They ruined Sterling’s house going from NL to NH. In NL he had an amazing ballroom! It was what introduced me to Lucky KK (I love anything Celtic) and it helped me make my own castle themed rooms. Now it’s a drab jail that plays KK Dirge. It doesn’t fit Sterling at all. It makes me want him to have the bland starter house. I love the character (though I hate the butchered jock dialogue) but his house is awful now

I feel that way about Knox's house. He had such a cool dungeon in New Leaf! Now he just has a mausoleum. It just feels bland.

what? i thought those blue weevils are rare lmao. i don't even know what they are worth because i've only caught 1 and i donated of course.

is it just me or are bugs more sensitive here than in new leaf? but then again, i always avoided to run in new leaf to not stomp on flowers.

Would it make it easier to have it described this way?

Starting Day:
1. Play normally until you find a villager thinking
2. Talk to thinking villager
3. If they tell you they want to move (and are not the villager you want to move), immediately turn off the game.
4. If you still want to play, play normally and ignore all thought bubbles.

Next Day:
1. Play normally or search for thinking villager
2. If the villager that is thinking is the one you want to move out, then talk to them and get them to move out.
3. If the villager that is thinking the one you don't want to move out, then ignore them and do not talk to them. The thought bubble should move to another villager the next day (but might not).

Repeat next day until the thought bubble is on the target villager that you want to move out.

That is how I understand it. Does that help make it more clear?

 

[AstralFirework]

Yes, that helps a great deal to have it set out in steps like that. Thank you.

The bugs are way too sensitive!!!! I have 3 beetles left and I’ve seen all of them but I can’t catch them because they fly away so fast on me

Oh my god don't even get me started on this! It took me like a month to get a blue wevile because anytime I crept up to it, it flew away before I was even close enough for my net to reach! They were rare enough to see so I'd hold my breath and tell everyone in the room to shush so I could focus lol. Finally I got one but geez.

I have a feeling they are more sensitive. I scared away one of the small stag ones (don't know which it was) by creeping up to it without pauses in my steps. I think in New Leaf they weren't that sensitive, but I could be wrong since I haven't played it in years.

What I am glad about is the butterflies don't disappear when you walk into them anymore!

You need to sneak up on them. And like Tarantulas/Scorpions, you need to stop moving when they spot you.

I've also never seen a walking stick or scarab beetle, and I play at the hours they're supposed to spawn all the time.

Just a heads up.. I caught both on palm trees.
Same with the giant stag and rainbow stag.

Any beetle found on regular trees can also be found on palms.
Palm specific beetles can only be found on palms though.

Also the colors are so dull in this game that the once golden scarab looks a dull grey.
Almost like a grey drone beetle.

Ava needs to stop being forced upon me on my search for new villagers. She's getting as annoying as Cranston was in New Leaf and I'm not even going to get started on Cranston. The last 10 times I went island hopping, about 8 of those villagers was Ava. You would think Ava is the only Normal this game has how many times she's shown up.

I really really want to give all of my villagers cute customized yards but now practically half my island is just villager houses!! I do like the look of it cuz it looks kinda suburban and cute but i wanted more room to build other things toooo :/

Okay so Elvis moved out of my town so I went to a NMT island villager hunting.

Freaking Elvis was on that island.

What even is this game I can't

I hate that villagers can pick up other villagers catchphrases because sometimes it just doesn't fit certain villagers or because it ruins a good catchphrase the villager had on their own. I liked Rosie's original catchphrase, silly, and wanted to keep it. However, I gave Apollo 'Murica as his catchphrase as a joke since he is supposed to resemble an American eagle. Rosie picked it up and now she keeps saying 'Murica and it just feels so wrong lol. I also liked Ellie's "lil one", but she picked up the catchphrase I gave Stitches, "teddy". I'm hoping I can change it soon lol.
I also wish you could take back some outfits you gave villagers. I gave Kid Cat a sporty pink crop top as a joke, and now he is walking around with a little pink crop top over his superhero outfit. I don't mind having the male villagers in girl outfits, but the crop top just looks wrong on him lol.
