So Wolfgang moved out. I could care less, but I spent 3.5mil bells on him, so I decided to do the trick where you get them back. I TTed back to September 21st, and Wolfgang's house is back, everything is perfectly normal; but I can't find him ANYWHERE. At all.

The megaphone is useless; if I say "Zell" or "Molly" it works totally fine, but if I say "Wolfgang" absolutely nothing happens. Not even the "No response, maybe they're not nearby!" thing it always spouts out. I've saved and quitted about 5 times, but Wolfgang refuses to show up, not around town or Main Street or in his house. Is there some reason he's nowhere to be found?

I've tried this trick twice before, so I'm sure I'm doing it correctly.

He might be in the shops or in the museums

Btw I love your avatar pic, I have her in my town ^0^

Try TTing to a later time or something, because I think maybe he's out visiting possibly another town, but basically he's just not there at that time and maybe he will come back then. Try 8 pm.

Does the sign on his house say "moved out"?

 

[moonchu]

if he hasn't moved or anything, i'd also say just try a different time.

 

[LambdaDelta]

just save and quit and reload until he's in front of/in his house

impossible

houses go with the villagers

If someone from another town collects a villager when they are in boxes, there will be a sign on the door saying "Moved out". I don't know why this would be the case though, since nothing was mentioned about Wolfgang being taken from the town by someone else.

He might be in the museum/one of the shops. When one of my villagers disappeared and they're not in the main street or one of the shops there, I always find them in the museum. You might have to check every room/exhibit to find him.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait. Waitwaitwait. You decided to do WHAT trick? O___O Please tell me more!

 

[Praesilith]

That's my question O_O

You have to load up a new file and then check the map to see if anyone's houses is gone. If a house is gone, you TT back some amount of time (like 6 days? Something like that) and then you find them, stop their ping, and that's essentially "getting them back".

 

[Skyfall]

Yes, I was also about to ask, whats the trick? Other the new save file one that fire ninja just outlined, i dont know of any other. If its something else, could you let us know.

 

[Gummysaur]

It's pretty tedious. If you haven't logged in in a while, you log on with a new file, check if anyone has moved out, then TT back until you see them back in your town. Then you have to slowly TT back forward until everything is normal again. Depending on how long it's been since you've played, it could take an hour or so.

Thank you all for the advice though! However, does anyone have an idea why the megaphone wont do a single thing?

You actually don't have to slowly TT forward. As long as you have Beautiful Town Ordiance set up and convince someone not to move out that day, you can TT as far as you want without anyone moving or any weeds.

sometimes mine doesnt do anything (not even the 'no response' dialogue). typically i just have to speak louder or closer to the ds. i think it just isn't registering your voice if nothing happens.

 

[Ayaya]

The megaphone won't work if they're in a building/different area, so if they don't respond then they're most likely inside or in the main street.

ugh i shoulda did the trick with daisy

Are you sure? I tried that once and I saved Molly but ended up kicking Erik out (luckily I got him back pretty quick)

 

[Ankhes]

Wait, so you don't really "get" the villager back, you just started with a new file, saw Wolfgang was gone, and then loaded up again and TT'd back, right?

Because I don't think you can ever get a villager back if your town was truly created by Isabelle when you started up, unless you go thru the 16 villager cycling.

Why did you have to kick him out?
