Villager Hunting General Thread

YOU CAN DO IT!

I lost like 50 times (I had such bad luck choosing the suit and the colour of the cards).

Eventually, the game will take pity on you if you keep losing and will suggest a villager... Only that for me, it was someone I wanted to keep, so I had to keep playing.

I kept picking the black card and it was always red, now I am picking the red card now its been black.

I think this game hate me

Yeah the game sucks but you just need to keep at it. There’s also a chance that he might ask to move in without playing a game but it’s pretty rare

 

[KittenNoir]

I won but he wants to kick out Buck

Don’t continue the dialogue and reset right away

So do I just save the game ? or turn it off and go ask him again ? cause he wants to kick out buck but that's a big no no haha

 

[KayDee]

Dont save. Just reset the game and then you have to win again. Keep doing it until he picks a villager you want to kick out

I read (never tried this myself) that if a villager keeps picking an animal you want to keep, say no. Go to Nook and ask to relocate that villagers house. Keep the moving kit in your pockets (you can return it later I'm pretty sure). Now they apparently don't pick that villager anymore.

I have to leave for work in 30 mins and I am trying so hard haha

I give up he is still asking to kick out buck

it’s fine I guess I just really want Muffy anyway

 

[_Rainy_]

Oh sorry you couldn’t get him in time they make things so difficult. I’d rather craft for them than play guessing games to get a villager to move in.
He was more forced camper.

That’s too bad. Maybe it autosaved, which is why he isn’t changing his pick.

Yah, I've read that if they suggest a villager you don't want to move you MUST immediately turn the game off. You can't actually say "no" or the game with auto-save and lock in that as the villager they want to replace (but maybe the "have that villager move" trick someone else posted might work?). I can confirm that, as long as you don't reply and simply reset the game, it CAN work- I had Maple as a camper (the first villager I ever encountered in an AC game, in the GC one, so she's super special to me) and, it took a bit of time, but she eventually asked to replace the villager I was hoping she would.

Yeah once I see the wrong name I reset the game right away in case the game decides to suddenly autosave at the wrong time

[Dunquixote]

Looking for a villager that I don’t have an amiibo for to start cycling through now that Lily left (a tough decision but she had starter house and flea and need the two spots for Ankha & Marshal or Lolly).

Today’s island hopping finds:

1. Sly
2. Rex
3. Scoot
4. Angus - not looking good. So far, all four villagers were qfrom species whose designs I don’t like.
5. Drago - :|
6. Greta
7. Apollo
8. Piper - almost said yes since I thought I didn’t have her amiibo remembered that I now have the card, so passed.
9. Knox
10. Sydney
11. Nate - not a fan of the bears either but I am tempted to invite him since I’ve been starting to think that he actually is kinda cute.
12. Cyd - invited him; don’t care for his or a lot of elephant villagers’ designs but maybe he’ll grow on me.

 

[nammie]

Today was such a bad day lol. I'm not even that picky, just looking for basically anyone cute, preferably in a natural colour.
Specifically I was hoping for Poppy, Shep, Purrl, Katt, Daisy, Joey, Pekoe, etc.

Instead I ran into:

Spoiler: Unfortunate island hopping

1. vladimir (had him in acnl)
2. monty
3. ninja chicken
4. green unibrow koala
5. piper?? a white bird with a big head
6. reneigh
7. horse with star on horse
8. some alligator
9. nerd lion
10. another damn chicken
11. green mouse
12. some aqua or green anteater
13. creepy panda baby
14. alice (had her in acnl)
15. that damn anteater again wtf
16. rosie (i dont like her unfortunately.. had her in WW though)
17. blue koala
18. tipper
19. nerd lion again

in the end I gave up and bought poppy off nookazon for 5nmt lol. I saw that she had new clothes so tmrw I will see how... weird her house is I guess lol, I adopted henry from someone and his house and wardrobe are still killing me lol

this is prob the worst luck I've ever had island hopping, usually I run into a few cute villagers within 15 tickets, I've never spent this many before! I was also hoping to get an island with waterfalls so I could catch a char since they never spawn on my island, and in 19 runs I saw 0 islands that had waterfalls large enough to have fish on top, though I did get bamboo island 5x so I guess thats not rare anymore?
