Anybody else ever feel bad about changing villagers?

[SmoochsPLH]

I'm an extremely indecisive person and after not playing for awhile I've come to not like quite a few of my villagers. And idk why, but I always feel guilty about this especially if I got them from someone. I know I have no reason to be, but I just am. Is anybody else like this or is it just me?

I was only like that for one time. I wanted to keep Sydney because l got her from my sister, and she will visit my town to see Sydney. My sister liked her a lot but she didn't fit my sister's theme of her town. But Sydney kept on asking to leave and l had to keep stopping her until one day l got on the game and she was gone. I was little bit upset because l liked Sydney and my sister won't see her again. But if l ever get a chance to play NH without bossy boots controlling me, then l will move in Sydney.

I always feel bad letting villagers go, even if I don't particularly like them! It always feels so final, like you'll never see them again and like you're letting them down somehow. I get oddly sentimental about villagers moving. Most times I can't bring myself to actually do it!

 

[joey ^_^]

the only villager i felt bad about letting move away was hazel ;A; i know she's a strong independent squirrel and she can take care of herself but she's so smol and i miss her :<

everyone else i had already come to terms with because idk i felt like we had drifted already so it was alright for those villagers to go away and hypothetically go chase their dreams? though when rosie was getting ready to move i had to avoid her the whole time because i was scared i'd lose my resolve but! i was doing it for her! she needs to go out there and be a star!! so i didn't feel bad about her leaving really, it's more of i'm a softy and if they say "tell me to stay" i might cave y'know?

Only if I haven't gotten their photo yet or if it was someone that I wanted as a permanent resident. I won't let them leave until I get one, now. It sounds messed up when one reads it typed out. I guess I am cold and detached.

Part of the fun for me is letting villagers come and go. It refreshes my town and gives it new life, plus I get to meet new villagers. I admit that I may feel bad about it if I paid for the villager and then got bored with them, but as long as I didn't pay an exorbitant amount I still wouldn't feel too bad. And maybe you can pass those villagers on to other players who would love them dearly.

I do feel sad when villagers leave because I get attached to all of them, but then I get excited about getting a new face and I'm okay with it. Personally, I have to let a villager leave on their own terms, though. I'm not really the type who can just Amiibo a villager out because that would make me feel bad. I know it's weird, but it just doesn't sit well with me.

i don’t necessarily feel bad about it but i always feel a bit sad whenever a villager moves out. even if i wasn’t super fond of them, i’m still used to seeing them around and so once they leave, that’s the end of something, which is sad for me aha. but if i’m able to get the villager adopted rather than having to send them to the void, that makes me feel better as i know they’ll be going to someone who wants them

that being said, having a villager move out is always exciting for me, too; i love experiencing new villagers and having a new friendship to form + a new face to see aha

 

[Dunquixote]

I kinda feel bad and sad letting villagers go - at least the ones that I have grown fond of like Tex (he came from a friend’s void who I didn’t like until I found out he was from their island and then gave him a better chance), Lily especially since she has become a dreamie but I didn’t like her starter house or flea she had and I had plans to get Lolly eventually (but now I don’t have room for Lolly to be a permanent resident ; will be hard saying good bye when I cycle her). I felt bad when I kicked out Rudy two times when I messed up his house twice. and the first he had a starter house anyways (gave him a bunch of furniture before I knew I wanted him to stay), second time he put the viking helmet on display that I gave him . I also felt bad the one time I kicked out Merry because of a fish and delivery gift, and Roscoe when i gave him an iron shelf on his birthday before I realized I wanted to keep him origibal.

I don't really like letting go of villagers honestly. I mean, it is a part of Animal Crossing, but it's just kind of sad. The villagers seem to be happy at first for leaving but as the days go on, they seem bummed about moving. It makes me feel bad for letting them move, it almost seems rude, especially when they decide to stay after all on their own. If it's a villager who I really like, then I definitely won't let them move. But I already have a lot of villagers who I don't want to leave so I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with that.

 

[eseamir]

I always get super attached to my villagers even when I don't choose or particularly like them, it feels like having them want to move is because I've let them down somehow and done a bad job running things

 

[RedPanda]

I feel incredibly sentimental about my villagers. I find it very hard to say goodbye even though I want the chance to meet and experience new ones. I wish we could have them stay seasonally or something to give us a chance to get more villagers without it being so final.

 

[AlyssaAC]

Yeah, I kinda feel bad when I let my villagers go, but it's nice to see some new faces on my island once in awhile. It keeps things fresh and new for me. Though there is an occasional time where I grow attached to a villager I wasn't fond of before and once they leave, I do get very sad. I'm actually thinking of keeping my first ten villagers on my New Horizons island, but I'm not sure yet.

 

[Rowbowkid800]

Just recently Kidd asked to move out and I agreed but it kinda hurt I wish I could have like 15 villagers because there is so many good ones but I got a super hero to come and live on my island

 

[Seastar]

Yeah, I have this problem with New Leaf right now. This is partly why Cece and Viché are still not in either of my towns. It's going to hurt when/if I kick out Erik... The other reason is both towns are a mess and I can't let anyone move their homes on top of random items.
I also already miss Kid Cat a little bit in New Horizons. And speaking of New Horizons, Keaton keeps talking about friendship and things even though I'm waiting for him to move away and it hurts.

 

[absol]

I feel so guilty that I can't even let them got most of the time
kinda sucks bc I often change my town aesthetic but then I still wanna keep Dom and Merengue in an egyptian horror town lol

 

[oranje]

Usually I don't mind letting villagers leave, especially when I'm making room for ones that I like more but there are some especially the normal personalities that make me a little guilty about leaving. I'm having this debate with myself about having Cally leave (who's been with me since I've started my town in NH). I think I will let her leave, but I still do feel a little pang of guilt anyways.

 

[Annika.]

Honestly I feel more bad about sticking to the same type of villagers, especially since they're like more valued so my taste is pretty much about how fancy and rare they are. I don't mind letting them move out because there'll always be better ones for me out there. x:

 

[Cherry Tree]

I did on my first move out especially being one of my starter villagers but if I'm honest I've had so many people move in and out now it's just normal . I am pretty much set now though so I cant see anyone else moving out for a while

 

[--Maya--]

Oh yeah. Marina just moved out and I MISS HER. I wish we could still write letters to moved-out villagers. I love all my villagers and it breaks my heart when they have to move out. If I had their amiibos I could still invite them to Harv's Island and the campsite but my parents would probably never let me buy any amiibos.

 

[LoyalDragonfly]

I actually feel more relieved than anything when I know a specific villager is moving out, because it means that I don't have to be worried about any of my dreamies thinking about moving for about a week, at least.

I don't feel too sad about my villagers moving out. It helps that I regularly visit my boyfriend's town, so I know they'll just move in there whenever a space opens up.
