16 villager cycle help needed. :c

[babycakes]

Hello! So, I really would LOVE Bam and Erik back in my main town. Unfortunately, I just lost Erik today. But I have a few questions about the 16 villager cycle. c:

1. Does it mean 16 villagers overall? For example, if 16 villagers moved out, and then Erik moved out, would the 16 villagers count towards this? Or will I have to start from 0 after Erik is gone to get him back? (confusing, sorry. Q.Q)

2. How long did it take you to complete it?

3. Did you lose any other dreamies while doing this?

4. Is there anyway of knowing when you're done? I've heard something about them no longer appearing in your main street? I'm not sure. >w<

Thank you in advance!

1.) Basically, once Erik has moved out, you need to get 16 villagers to move out of your town before you can get Erik to move back in.
2.) It depends what method you are using. If you're being careful because you have dreamies in your town that you don't want to lose, then it'll take a long time. Using that foolproof cycling method which someone posted on TBT recently will help you complete the cycle in less than a day, however, you can lose dreamies this way if they're in your town.
3.) I've never lost a dreamie while cycling, probably because I'm careful. If you aren't careful, then it's easy to make the mistake.
4.) They no longer appear in your main street once you've cycled 16, but it's a good idea to keep count, just in case.

Hope this helped

ahh, this could take forever. ;-; I may just ask someone to hold all of my villagers, and get it done today! Thanks so much for your help! :3

Answer: Nope it does not count. You got to start cycling 16 after Erik moves out!

2. How long did it take you to complete it? Answer: Depends for everyone! If you cycle fast or slow, or up to the person.

3. Did you lose any other dreamies while doing this? Answer: I never done so, but yes. You can lose a dreamie from doing the 16v cycle IF NOT CAREFUL. It has happened to many people, but most people who do it super careful don't lose any dreamies!

4. Is there anyway of knowing when you're done? I've heard something about them no longer appearing in your main street? I'm not sure. >w< Answer: If they stop appearing on your main street (not confirmed though!), best to do is to keep count when cycling! or you can just attempt to do a test (ask the villager you want back in and see if they say yes!)

I understand a lot better now! I've come to the conclusion I just wouldn't be careful, so someone is holding all of my dreamies while I cycle out 16, and then I will get them all to move back in. It's time consuming, but I love them so much. ;w;
