Has anyone discovered an effective, new, cycling method?

[N a t]

From the looks of it, Crash's original guide can no longer help us

Anyone have a method that actually works? I just TT 5 days after a ping, and look for someone to ping me again. If no one pings that day, I TT 1 day at a time until they do. A bit time consuming. I found my other copy of ACNL after thinking I lost it in a parking lot or at my friends house, so happy it's back, and I wanna cycle in like 3-4 villagers for my main town. For now I'm going to reset my spare copy until I get a town with at least 1 starter that I want, and then make a second character to reset the automatic move ins afterwards. That'll still be kind of time consuming. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

i use that one method where i tt until i get a ping, then i save and time warp backwards 1 year and 5 days. save. then jump forward 1 year, save, and then tt 5 days forward and the next villager is in boxes. sounds time consuming but honestly the hardest part is just getting that first villager into boxes. everything else takes maybe 2 minutes to get a new villager in boxes + a new villager in town.

only thing is you dont wanan do this in a main town bc you have 0 control over who goes into boxes.
if you're looking to cycle in a main town i get a ping, if i want them to stay i say no, then i tt to the day they said they wanted to elave, and then i get a new villager ping almost instantly. :')

I'm definitely going to take my time and tread carefully in my main town, but cycling in my spare town could take ages lol! Thanks a lot for this. After I get a starter I like, I'll try this method! I'll have to wait for the town to fill up though, and also build my house I believe. I'm pretty sure no one will leave until your house is built lol.

her method still works, you just need to tt 7 days instead of 5. they changed the time it takes for a villager to move to a full week. so let's say your boxes date is 11/10/2016

then tt backwards 1 yr 7 days to, 11/3/2015
then a full year, 11/3/2016
then 7 days, 11/10/2016 and a new villager will be in boxes c:

So it does still work? I tracked the thread down, and was reading all of these comments that said the old method didn't work, even when they accounted for the update.

Thats what I do but just for a regular town and not a cycling town therefore I dont go back a year and I just TT the 7 days forward

i thought time traveling 1year, 5 days backwards, then 1year, 5 days forward didn't work anymore??

yeah, as long as you use 7 days instead of 5, it'll work c: that's how i've been cycling since the update

i'm so glad someone figured out a new way! i'll have to edit the guide and add this in there. :')
