The dream 'snapshot'.

[Cloudandshade]

I've asked about this before over on the FAQ thread, but nobody there seemed to know. Has anyone done any experimentation into how much detail is actually captured when you save your dream to the dream suite? For instance, we know that it ignores npc visitors, and any events that might be happening. But what about what your villagers are wearing when you update your dream? Before I update, I always run around making sure nobody is wearing that dreaded jockey outfit or muscle shirt (that I'm sure they keep purely to torture me) or sometimes I'll think 'Everyone's chosen cute outfits today, maybe I'll update while they're looking good!' But maybe the dream process just ignores all that stuff, and randomises it like when you restart your game? And does it capture which villagers are inside their homes, and which ones are walking around outdoors? I know time passes as normal within dreams, so perhaps they're likely to move around or get changed in real time anyway, but I've always been curious about how accurate that 'snapshot' actually is in the moment!

I have visited the same dream island back to back and the villagers who are inside or outside are randomized.

IIRC Villagers in the dream world don't wear customised outfits unfortunately They will always be reverted to their original clothes. The villagers seen inside/outside will always be random so it doesn't matter the time of day you save it when it comes to villagers.

Oh wow, really? That's actually kind of a comfort about the clothing - I'd much rather they wore their original clothes than some of the bizarre outfits they've accumulated over the last year. I had noticed a lot of original villager clothing in dreams, but I know that most people seem to prefer them to dress that way anyway, so I'd just put it down to that. Thanks for the info!

By customized clothing, do you mean customized designs?
For example, a design I created or customized designs ( like I change the clothing go they are wearing by gifting them new clothing?)

Sorry for having to ask, this just stood out to me because I’ve been giving my islanders nice game clothing so that hey look nice in my dream once I upload

Also, what if it rains? Will they wear regular clothing or poncho rain jacket clothing.


If I remember correctly custom designs did show in the dream world in new leaf. So that’s different.

Yeah there's definitely a benefit to having them in their original clothes!

Any clothing you give a villager, game clothing or custom designs they pick up at ables! They will always wear their original designs.
