Thanks so much! I'll have to see if Nook finally agrees with the spot I picked anyway (this is like...my third try to place my alt's house and each time I had to wait until a villager moved out, only to then learn that Nook didn't like my placement). I'll try to go with four spaces, just to be sure, even if three would look better. *tests* Hnngh he doesn't like the temporary bridge that's there right now. All of my rage, Nook. All of my rage. >(

That's probably not a good sign if Nook doesn't want to put your house that close though. Normally a bridge needs more space being put down after than something needs to be put near a bridge. :/ - though I never checked that case with houses. :s
I wish my Dream code from my very first town still worked, the houses were left in place after so I'd be able to give exact measurements.

Oh no, the temporary bridge is different, it's placed diagonally. Have two pictures:

Spoiler

The horizontal bridge is supposed to go where the path I quickly put down leads to. The Cobblestone bridge will get demolished. The house will go above the path, though I'm not sure how far to the right yet since it's all difficult with Nook and I only get the bridge comment so far, though I have the idea he'll also complain about the river once it's gone (I ordered the demolishing now).

 

[Jinglefruit]

Ahkies, well if Nook ends up fine with that bridge, you're definitely in the clear. That looks good to me though, though yeah, that cut off corner of river on the otherside might cause an issue. :S
You also might want to consider if you fully expand a house there you might not be able to see the river when fishing from that side.

It's all an issue, hah, no matter what. Nook always finds something to complain.
But you have a good point with the fishing there. Still it cannot be avoided, I absolutely want a house on the island, but the plaza covers most of it, so there isn't much room:

Spoiler

(This is an old version; the leftmost house of the island is gone now so that's where the pictures were taken. There also is a horizontal bridge to the right of the mayor's house now. I could put the alt's house under the plaza, but I don't really want to since two big houses in a line is kind of cramped-looking, I think. So I can only hope that I can put my house where I want it to be tomorrow. *shakes Nook* Thank you for your help, it's much appreciated!

I just talked to Isabelle and she said something about the villagers getting ready to sleep, but to come see her later when it's quieter and she'll have something else to give away. Any idea what this is? And, will it be before 6am or will it be any time tomorrow? I really hope it isn't tomorrow for I have PWPs to do.

It is tomorrow (or well later today). She gives out a Chinese Zodiac item (Horse this year).

Edit: As a quick note, Isabelle leaves the plaza to go to Town Hall at midnight. As long as there is no other event person (Like Redd is out during the countdown and Fireworks), you can build a public work then for that day and it'll be finished at 6AM/when the actual next day starts.

 

[Ras]

Thanks. Poor thing never gets a break!

Exactly what and how does the "voiding" process work? I hear people complaining about getting others' voided villagers all the time, and I'm scared of accidentally doing that to someone without meaning to. I know it has to do with passing on a villager that's moving out of your town, but when is it "safe" to visit someone again after a villager has moved out?

 

[Ras]

It's my understanding that if you visit someone with 10 villagers after voiding a critter, they are then gone for good. It tries to pass it on, can't, so erases. I don't know if that's 100% proven, though.

To define it better, voiding is when a villager moves and no one claims them. You can pass them on if you visit someone with 9 or fewer, someone with 9 or fewer visits you, or through streetpass under the same conditions. It happened to me. A friend of mine tried to get me to take Mott, I said no, but I visited his town. One Sunday, I was buying turnips and shocked to see Mott's plot. At least he ended up in a good spot and I don't mind him.

 

[juneau]

I see. So there is no way around it other than visiting someone with ten villagers first?

 

[Ras]

That's the only thing I know. There's probably an amount of time that could pass when it would no longer happen, but I don't think anyone knows exactly when that would be.

 

[juneau]

Ah, okay, well I hope Yuka doesn't move in with the person that let me sell turnips at their town earlier today, not sure how many villagers they had. Thanks!

 

[Jennifer]

It is honestly kind of random. I've had villagers move to friends' town even after moving out MORE villagers. Similarly, even when someone has had 10, I've had:
1. Them appear in their town once one left
and even:
2. Had it appear in the first town I went to that didn't have it/first person who came to visit me.

Heck, even I got a villager after a friend moved out several since right after my 10th villager moved away early on.

Does the amount of bridges affect whether or not PWP suggestions can be bridges?

Yes. If you have 3 bridges, villagers cannot suggest bridges. I think :3

 

[TerryMartin]

Does the Vacation Island or Tropical respawns the thing's you take from it? Or will it have different thing's each day on it?

 

[JellyBeans]

Well, no, cause if you like chopped down most of the trees for beetle hunting, it'll stay like that. So, it'll always stay in the state you leave it in. Unless it's CT, then it respawns.

 

[TerryMartin]

Ahh thanks, Luckily i didn't chop them down.

I am back with my dumb bridge issues. =/ I demolished the diagonal bridge I had so I can now place my alt's house where I want it to be. However, I can only place it three steps to the right of where I need to build a horizontal bridge; not four. Does someone definitely know if it's three or four spaces that I need?
Isabelle is unhelpful as always; she just tells me the bridge can't be build because of some villager's house on the other side. I KNOW that, which is why there is no bridge there yet until Papi moves out. But yeah, don't want to pay endless home expansions just to have to demolish then, so anyone knowing if it's three or four spaces to the side of a horizontal bridge?

Thought I'd check this for you with my cycle town.

If the bridge is built first you can build a house with 2 spaces between the bridge and house. ~ this was a pleasant surprise. - though my proof pic doesn't show the bridge as a 2D image, but here it is anyway.


If a house is 3 spaces away it doesn't let you build a bridge. (from either side of the river)

4 spaces away also didn't let me. (Sorry to bear bad news! Also from either side of the river. Proof pic too)


But it did allow it 5 spaces away.


I think if you're dead set on layout it's far better to build the house after the bridge. unless you can see a way to may it happen? You might have to move everything forward a space or 2. :s
