Campsite Visitor Personalities?

[kuseiro]

Has anyone been keeping track of what campsite villagers that have visited them outside of amiibo? Since the game required us to move in the 6th villager, and many people got smugs, I'm wondering if the randomness of the villager in the campsite runs on a different algorithm than the island hopping one (i.e. randomizes on missing personality first, rather than on all species), where the first one was seemingly hard-coded.

This would probably help with people who are missing out on some very high demand smugs, like yours truly, and make it less of a painful process for those who are seeking a specific villager. I've seen some twitter threads swearing by spamming campsite instead of islands, but have not datamined the game to confirm.

Edit: Twitter seemed to be freaking out about the fact everyone was getting smugs, leading me to believe the 6th villager/required move-in was a hardcoded smug. This does not seem to be true, but it at least does seem to be a villager personality you don't have.

The only camper I've had except for the sixth villager (smug: Lucha) was a snooty: Gwen. My town doesn't have a snooty villager, so it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't completely random. If it does work this way then I imagine my next camper will be a snooty too because I didn't invite her.

It has been confirmed on here that the villagers that move in are missing personality’s from your island so if you have no smug you can get smug villagers in your campsite for this Raymond could move in

it’s not 100% but more likely you will get missing personality’s

I've only had Kidd so far, which was my first camper. I haven't gotten anyone else since

That actually sucks cause what if you wanted another Snooty or something? You just can't ever if you already have one in your island?

that I don’t know but I had no smug on my island and Lionel was in my campsite but islands seem to be random no matter what but you need a lot of nook tickets

Islands are random in the sense that they're randomized on species, then personality (can confirm, my records after 1400 hops is fairly close to expectation, albeit n=1400 is still fairly small for such a large villager pool).

Randomization on a limited personality pool is much kinder; you can still get extra personality villagers (ones you already have) from what I've seen though?

Your sixth villager is guaranteed to be a smug? As in the campsite one you're forced to take? Are you sure about that? I got Boris (Cranky).

I got audio on my 2nd island so I haven’t been island hopping and she was the only villager I wanted I got pretty lucky xD so I have no need to island hop

 

[spacewalker]

i just got my first natural camper after getting the 6th/smug one! its Portia, and i am actually lacking any snooties rn (and jocks), so it wouldnt surprise me if it supplies what you dont have yet, so to say.

no I was giving an example your 6th will be a personality you don’t have mine was smug cos I had no smug in my island

Oh, I haven't seen anyone that has gotten not a smug? I've been active on twitter though, so I suppose it's a smaller dedicated pool of players. I can change op so as to not misinform, but I did *hear* that if you didn't island hop, and let the first 3 villagers move in randomly, those were also fixed personalities?

Oh, I see.

That I have no idea. All I know is that your starters are always Uchi and Jock.

I've only gotten smugs (Chadder who was the initial forced move-in, Phil, and now Eugene today). I have no smugs since Chadder moved btw.

Villagers moving in your campsite seems to be really really low which is frustrating maybe Nintendo does this to force you buy there amiibos

The regular campsite villagers are able to replace villagers like their amiibo counterparts right? I'm assuming Nintendo must have done this to basically avoid giving away free amiibos then.

im assuming when a regular villager moves in the campsite you can replace your 10th like an amiibo but I haven’t had anyone move in my campsite yet since my first one that your forced to move in so I can’t really test this :c

I read that while you can pick which villager to replace with your amiibo camper, that is not the case with the regular ones. They will pick a random villager and you will have to close the game and start it again if you want them to pick someone else.

Actually, my first campsite visitor was Marshal himself, and then Boyd, a cranky villager.

My friend went Raymond hunting using the campsite trick. He was just missing a smug. The smug rate was about 50% for him and he found Raymond on the 27th Smug. He got no repeats in over 40 campsite spawns

I've only gotten snooty, Blaire and Tasha. Kinda funny they were both squirrels too!
