I don't think clicking Continue matters too much, it's only when you prepare your town that things get set in stone. I've read that some days have better odds than others for getting a camper, so you might want to find a good day to find a nice camper.
I have no personal experience with this so I can't say for certain whether this is true or not, but I've heard that simply clicking your file will set things in stone for that day, even if you didn't get to the part where Isabelle says she's loading your town. So if you're unlucky, you're not getting any new campers because your file has already loaded.I do know the tents on the plaza are set in stone. No matter how many times you reset.
I've been trying for hours and I can't seem to get a camper on the next day. I had two campers and then it stopped.
Ah, you're right, I misread. If they didn't even click their file then that can't be the problem.I thought kwark just hit Continue, and then backed out of it without selecting any character. I've done that a couple times while plot resetting and it didn't mess anything up. Didn't go all the way into my account, but I can't imagine just hitting Continue in itself causing issues.
So now I have my camper moving in. What will happen if I travel back to the present day? Will the villager still move in or do I have to make sure their house is built, first?
