So I've been TTing to get rid of some people, and today Mott asked me to leave, so I said yes and then he said that he was going to stay because he didn't trust me to keep up my training or something...this is the 3rd time this has happened with him, and I don't know how to make him leave. I've tried being friends with him and I've tried ignoring him, and neither seems to work - what else can I do?

How many items can you buy from a villagers home that you're visiting? Is it only one per visit?

If you're good friends with him then he shouldn't be changing his mind on you, though maybe how long he's been in your town is a factor too.

Your other option is to ignore his "pings" and talk extensively to other villagers to find out when someone's planning to leave. If you think he'll change his mind on you if you talk to him, continue to not respond to his "pings" until Isabelle notifies you on the day he's moving out, that he's leaving. This way he can't change his mind.

Loviechu: I'm guessing yes, because I've only ever been able to buy one per trip.

Apparently it's a random chance that it'll happen, and it doesn't have anything to do with how close you are with them.

If you're still on the day that he asked, and you haven't saved after he changed his mind, you could close the game without saving, open it up again, run to him, and see if he changes his mind again. Keep doing this until he doesn't.

Alternatively, as mentioned above by Filly, close the game without saving, open it up again, ignore him when he 'pings' you, and he'll be certain to leave.

Thank you, I'll give it a try

Will villagers move in over top of patterns placed on the ground?

They might. Patterns don't stop anything but things that grow on the ground or appear underground.

When's the first day snow can start falling in Animal crossing new leaf? I know the sites say early December but I was hoping for an exact date unless there is none. xD;

Second this. Mint moved ON MY PATH :c Also Divo, you haven't seen the wide amount of pictures of roped areas on patterns?

I'm sorry. I just really liked that area of your town. ;___;

It might be random, sort of like how it can rain in my town, but not someone else's town on the same day.
It may have been the second week in December though, but I can't remember. Dx -had the JP version at that time-

Oh well, it's not very important anyway. Just wanted my 4th char's birthday to be the first day of snowfall...

People always say that in order to get a 10th villager, they have to be obtained in one of the following ways:

- Invited from campsite
- StreetPass
- Wi-Fi

However... does this mean that the 10th villager specifically must be obtained this way, OR does it mean that just *one* of your potential 10 villagers must be invited this way? The latter would imply you can get a "random" villager as your 10th as long as one of your first 9 was obtained in one of the ways listed above.

Last night I TT'd to this morning to reset for campers, and I had 9 villagers. Then suddenly on the title screen, I see a plot... I check it in-game, and it's Nan. The only town I've visited recently was my bf's, and he's never had Nan. I haven't StreetPassed anyone in days, and I certainly didn't invite her from anywhere.

It's not a big deal or anything, I just don't know where she came from

 

[Snow]

That is weird! As far as I know you can't have a random villager appear as your 10th, but who knows? If she did somehow come from another town she'll tell you, so you'll be able to figure it out.

Besides running to the catalog every single day is there a simple way to see if you already own an item? It really sucks having to remember, this seems like a small oversight on the developers. Every day I have to either remember (which is unlikely and most the time I just waste money and just buy everything) or run to the catalog when I go shopping cause my memory sucks so I know if I own that item or not. Is there not a simpler way? Sounds like a dumb question sorry, but it seems like this should be a lot easier than it is.

if you play near your computer you can use the catalogs at moridb; if you have a smartphone you can use the ACNL Guide app; and you can always get the guidebook and use it as a checklist (although the prima guide is really unwieldy -- I have one of the Japanese guides and it came with a detachable booklet that is a checklist). I am usually just up and checking email when I log on to the game in the morning, so I open up my moridb catalogs when I shop.

 

[Filly]

It would also make sense if she's random because I had no Normal villagers in town before her. Maybe it's someone I Street Passed the other day, and it just took a while to actually happen...? I'm not sure how the "passive Street Pass/Wi-Fi move-ins" work anyway. I visit my bf's town basically every day, and I once had one of his villagers move in like a week or two after he moved out of my bf's town (I probably didn't have room before then).

It's all very mysterious o.o; I'm just going to take this as a sign that it's good to do the reset trick every day, even if I'm at 9 villagers and am not expecting anyone.

 

[Punchyleaf]

Plot reset question:
I've seen people say that you get certain personalities when resetting for villagers. And that it has something to do with the least personality you have being the one that shows up?
So if I let my 1 smug villager (only smug in town) move away, will another smug replace him?

 

[Filly]

You will never get a random villager that is the same personality as the last one to move out unfortunately. That's the exception to the rule.

 

[Punchyleaf]

Ah ok, that's good. I'm tired of seeing Hazels Unibrow in each of my towns - since she likes to pack up and move to each new town or town I have - so I'm dying to rid myself of her, but I didn't want an unwanted Uchi taking her place

Which town ordnance is the best to grow Hybrids becuse i heard that beautiful town makes it harder to get them! and how should the flowers be placed?

 

[Sour of Abnaxus]

Which town ordnance is the best to grow Hybrids becuse i heard that beautiful town makes it harder to get them! and how should the flowers be placed?

I think the mistake some are making is not watering the flowers they want to hybridize while having beautiful town active. So it seems like it's harder. But it's not. I have beautiful town and no problems making hybrids. Just water them

EDIT: As for placement, I put mine in a diamond shape, so there's plenty of room for hybrids to spawn in.
Like so:
OXO
XOX
OXO

 

[kyasarin]

I've got a red nose for running around too much and falling on my face. How can I get rid of it?
