I don't know how the whole 10th villager thing works, to be honest. Like... I'm not sure if after the 10th one leaves, another will move in on their own or if you have to wait for a camper/a villager to move in from somebody else's town.

However, if you're waiting for a fenced plot there is a chance that Bam might not show up at all. Sometimes the game will only give you villagers from a specific personality. For instance: Sometimes the game will only give you Peppy characters. When this happens, you can spend 45454444854584 hours resetting and you'll only get peppy characters (or whatever other personality the game has chosen)

This means that for you to get Bam the game either needs to only give you fenced plots for jock characters OR have no set personality to choose from.

At the same time... resetting for the campsite is a pain. Like sometimes I'll reset 25 times and only find campers 2 of those times... @_@;;

Yeah I tried the camp thing before and just gave up after 2/10 resets giving me a camper.
Also I have NO Jocks(Bam is a Jock) So I was hoping the game would give me only jocks so my chance of getting him were pretty good. I havent gotten my 10th villager to leave yet though, but i will post results when I do get her to leave of what kind of villagers im getting on the 7th day.

Is it possible to soft reset in this game or am I forced to close it entirely then reopen it?

 

[maarowak]

I had 10 villagers
One of them moved out
Should I worry of another villager moving in? I don't think so since I have only 9 villagers and haven't wi-fied/talked with any campers but, can someone help me out?

 

[Janna]

I've done this five times and nothing has shown up. How long can this take? :x

 

[faithiefaith]

I really wish I saw this thread when my town was starting out. Bummer.

I have 10 villagers now. Anyway, when I start a new day after someone has moved out, I should try the new character method each day until I see a new villager plot? and then when I see the plot I can keep resetting the new villager until it's someone I am fond of from a sort of certain villager set?

Just want to make sure I'm comprehending this correctly.

That probably means no one is moving in today. You'll have to do the resetting tomorrow

Wait so when there is a plot and you don't like the location, what exactly do you do to change it? If you can, that is.

If I understand the guide correctly, just don't save the game with the new character you created (quit when you see where the plot is) and try again by making a new character.

 

[bittermeat]

Anyone?

If you login as mayor, and you see a plot, you're stuck with it even if you reset.
If you're on a new character and you find a plot you don't like, reset and make another new character and there will be a different plot. Repeat as many times as you need until you get a villager you want. When you're happy with the placement/villager, save that new character and you're free to delete that character and go on your mayor file.

Oh, well I started the game with my main character and saw the plot for the first time but didn't save. Then I made a new character and the plot is still in the same place.

Aw shoot. I'll keep this in handy for next time then. Thanks guys!

 

[faithiefaith]

Yeah, you have to log in as the new character first or it doesn't work unfortunately :C

Is there a trick like this you can use to cycle through villagers in the campsite?

Do the same thing, but campers will not always show up. You might reset 20 times and only find campers 3 of those times.

Could anyone do me a favor and go to the Island just before 6:00 AM, stay there until after 6, and then go back? I want to know if when you come back the game still gives you the Rise and Shine message and saves your game. If it doesn't, that means we have a much easier way to go about controlling our neighbors! I'd do it myself, but I have a villager moving in the next day and I don't want to find out this doesn't work and they move onto one of my hybrid fields or something.

It does save. Sorry to bust that bubble.

Dang. How about letting it go past 6 AM with the gates open? It seems unlikely, but I'd like to give it a try.

I can confirm this wonderful trick! It's such a useful and fun discovery, thank you for sharing it.

I woke up this morning and decided to try it. I made a new character, stepped out, and walked around town. I wanted the new house plot to be below the river, since above the river I have huge plans for PWPs. I ended up finding Sprinkle's house directly in front of mine(I didn't know they could move that close!) and that gave me a bit of a scare, since I love everything about my house location right now. I turned the game off, back on, and tried one more time with hopes that it would work with a new villager.

I found Julian(my dream villager)'s house plot below the river in a cute, cozy spot by a tiny pond. I was ecstatic, and I'm really happy I tried this.

I am hoping the villagers won't be asking about my new character after she's deleted(I didn't speak with any villagers), but otherwise, this went perfectly. I haven't noticed them mention her at all yet.
