Tips for TTing out villagers?

[Saturn]

hello,

I've been trying to TT to get rid of 3 unwanted random villagers and no matter what I do they won't budge... no one has asked to move yet. I've starting TTing years at a time now and nothing yet -- are there any tips or tricks to this? I've complained to isabelle so many times but so far nothing...

thanks!

Based on other things I've read I get a feeling villagers won't actually move out unless you personally go through the dialogue with them. Someone came up with a method of TTing 15 days at a time between 12-3pm since that's when everyone is active, and looking for every single villager for the bubble. If no one has a bubble, advance one day and repeat.

What i do is talk to them once and then don’t talk to them, 5 days later they move out and has worked like a charm for me. My problem is a new villager taking their spot too quickly before i can find a villager i want haha

Well, I actually talked to Monty and Quillson once and time traveled after that, never talked to them again. And after some days Monty had a Bubble and wanted to move out. So I’m trying the same with Quillson and letting you know if it works. I just think that if you ignore them long enough, it’s more likely that they want to move out.

Edit:CJ8080 just confirmed it.

How many days did you time travel? And did you have to time travel multiple times?

How many days did you time travel? And did you have to time travel multiple times?

It could not have been more than a couple days. Don’t know the exact number anymore. Weirdly enough I traveled backwards to my original date. That’s when I started the Game and Monty had the Thinking Cloud above his head.

And I only traveled once there. I hope it can be of some help.

If we have more People confirming it, we can be 100% sure about that method.

ohh thank you all so much for the input! I tried the talk to them then TT 5 days later based on CJ8080 's suggestion -- it took maybe 3 or 4 tries but it worked ! I still can't seem to target one villager in particular (two villagers I like ended up asking to move before my targeted villager) but as long as it's someone I can cycle through until then one I want moves out, theoretically.

When you say 3 or 4 tries, does this mean you TT-ed 15-20 days total? I.E. TT 5 days into future, check for bubble, TT another 5 days if there's no bubble/the wrong villager has the bubble, and repeat.

Or did you just reload the same day (5 days into the future) without saving (I'm not sure if autosaving prevents this)?

I have 3 villagers I want to get rid of so I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to boot them

I'm also curious about this. Did you talk to them and them TT one day at a time until you got to 5 or just 5 days ahead in one go? If it didn't work, did you talk to them again and then TT other 5 days until the method worked?

You don't have to talk to them at all. They will indicate they want to move out even if you never introduce yourself to them. I personally don't TT day by day because that takes way too long considering villagers can go weeks without asking to move out.

I would love to know, as well, if you just went back 5 days and repeated until it got it right, or if you did a total of 15-20 days!

I did a total of 15-20 days, 5 days at a time. some villagers wouldn't be outside so I'd continue to progress forward 5 days. not sure if going back 5 days and repeating would do the same thing or not, but I'd be interested to test that out. I also only tried this once to get one villager out so I'd like to keep testing this method!
