Villager Hunting General Thread

My experience yes you’ll have to wait until tomorrow. When then the plot will be open.

Awesome, thank you. I did make one trip to check, and there was no villager. Posted here to ensure I wasn't glitched.

OUCH. But I know how that felt. How? After the last smug showed up, I had to go through 9 different campers of different personalities before Raymond showed up. By that point, I was convinced my game was irredeemably glitched or I had somehow missed Raymond and hadn't realized it.

9 campers of different personalities? I would have never managed! After those 4, I got really annoyed at the game, and then Phil showed up, which lightened my mood and gave me strength again!

But at least, after all the suffering, both of us found him, which is the essential!

I went island hopping today, and on my first ticket I found Raymond, one of my dreamies! Obviously, I invited him!

Damn! Took me 329 NMT yesterday LOL

Someone moved out, so I'm back to hopping. My targets are Maple, Diana, Coco, Genji and Cherry in that order. But I'll accept any of them.

Good luck! Hope you find one of them

For the people using the campsite method, how long does it usually take to get a camper in the campsite?

I'm thinking of using the method to get Ankha, Diana, Whitney, Vivian, or Judy, since I currently have no Snooty villagers.

It honestly depends on your RNG. When I first started my hunt for Raymond (with the campsite) my first 4 visitors were each 8 days apart. But after that, it started being more inconsistent. I can't really give an estimation, because it really just depends on your luck. For example, at one point, when I was in August, I time-traveled 17 days DAY BY DAY before finding a campsite villager.

It can get pretty daunting, and it does get hard to stay positive, but it's definitely worth it!

Thanks for all the good luck wishes!

I'm down to my last 30 NMT atm, but I kinda regret not taking Marina and replacing a permanent villager with her, so I'll add her to the count as well. Maple, Diana, Coco, Genji, Cherry and Marina.

It's crunch time! Good luck!

For the campsite method, can we exit out on the Isabelle announcement screen?

Hooray!

Yay! Good job!

This is so weird... Isabelle said there was a visitor in the campsite, I go into the game and no one was there?

Of course. If you had to exit your house and save even when no campers, I would have given up.

I went mystery island hopping today. I have some amiibos in the mail and one of the villagers I'm about to replace asked to move out so I thought, "Well, now's the perfect time, right? If I don't find someone I like, those new amiibos will arrive right on time." Mystery island hopping usually makes me really anxious because the pressure to find someone GREAT sucks the fun out of it for me, but this time--no pressure!

And then I got pretty lucky, too--I kept running into neat villagers. I saw Hans, who I would have invited if I didn't have 3 smugs because I really like his design, I saw Poppy the squirrel who is totally adorable but I already have Marshal and want to avoid doubling up on species whenever possible, I saw Zucker who is adorable but also a cooked food. I ended up inviting Felicity, who I came *this close* to buying an amiibo for but she didn't make the cut... but now I get to have her on my island for a while anyhow. I love her design, kinda chic/girl-next-door, and think she'll fit in really well with my crew.

It's nice when island hopping goes well. I have definitely had worse runs.

I just started island hopping moments ago, hoping I'd find Marina, Kid Cat or Zucker, but on my first island I found Julian!! And I couldn't resist... I didn't want to have two Smug villagers at first but oh well. Can't pass up on this gorgeous unicorn.

I'd really love to find Marina and Kid Cat now, but I feel like I'll be sad to not have room for Zucker and so, not have all three octopi in total...
