Bridge Drama

[PrincessAurora]

After I finally settled all my villagers into my town, I decided to remodel one of my bridges into a fairy tale bridge. I looked up a guide to make sure my villager's house - Julian's house - would not be in the way of rebuilding the bridge after I tore it down. However, something went wrong. Isabelle refused to let me put my bridge back into the exact same spot.

Maybe this wouldn't seem like such a big deal, but I've looked at it from every angle and I would not be happy with my bridge in any other way or place. Three of my villager homes were designed to line up exactly with the path that stems from that bridge. It's my second bridge and I only ever planned to have two.

This experience was so very frustrating to me. I spent quite a while getting the correct villagers in my town into the correct places, and now I'm stuck with this dilemma. The only solution I see is to move Julian into my cycle town, go through the 16 villager cycle, and eventually move him back into my main town - if this even works.

Does anyone know if the exact same villager that moves out of your town can eventually move back in? I really hope so, because it's the only thing I think I can do.

If you go through the 16 cycles, they can move back in. What you can do is have someone hold him for you whiel you cycle. that way, you get the same Julian back~

Yes. Recently, I started up the game (on separate days) to find Beau and Diana packed to move, so I moved them into my boyfriends town. While they were in his town I cycled out 19 villagers just to be safe. Every time I visited his town both Beau and Diana remembered me & my town, so I was skeptical if I would be able to move them back. Eventually Beau pinged and I went to pick him up and sure enough he moved back. I'm still waiting for Diana as my SO doesn't TT.

That's really good to hear, thank you for the detailed info. It will take so long to cycle through that many villagers while making sure my dreamies don't move out T_T
