"Controlling" where houses appear.

On the day you start a town, will a plot for the sixth villager be there

Nope. On the first day it'll just be your original five villagers.

That's... Weird. I've never encountered anything like this. Is Diva your 10th villager by any chance?

Yes she is. I actually had a full town and tgen Iggly moved out and then I got my friend on here to give me Diva.

Can villagers really put their houses... Anywhere? Because mine aaalways want to move in the same spot even though there is plenty of space for them where I want them to move. So frustrating

 

[Suchan]

As far as I'm aware, I don't think the answer to this is known at the moment. :/

If anyone has evidence that proves me wrong, please go right ahead! I've been asking this very same question for weeks.

Peaches moved out of my town on the 13th of this month and I stil don't have a 10th villager. One day, there was someone in the campsite but I reset because I didn't want them. Every day I start with a new character to see if any animals have moved in/ or in campsite. Still don't have a 10th, I'm on day 8. Haven't had an animal in campsite since I reset. I believe one of the friends I wifi with was without a 10th villager for a long time. Until I visited after peaches moved out >__< he didn't want another villager, but he got Peaches!

Hey I was wondering, can villagers move where there are trees? Like onto them, thus deleting them?

Yes, they can destroy anything other than rocks and PWP.

 

[SuperSpooky]

Trees, Hybrids, buried stuff, patterns yup x_x
I keep all my hybrids really close to a public works project or a house

Before i found this thread, a house moved in on top of all my persimmon trees lol ;_;

Thank you! It's really irritating because Marshal won't move next to me... I was thinking it was the tree I planted next to my house but if this is the case then why can't he move in next to me? So many others have tried to move next to me but that spot is reserved for Marshal T___T

 

[Erica]

Wait, does it apply to every tree? Even perfect fruit trees?

I saw this the other day in a Japanese players' dream town. Can anyone explain what he might be doing?

Well in the previous AC games, at least in City Folk, we were able to control where people moved if we had patterns placed around the little preset signboards. They wouldn't move in if the space surrounding the signboard was covered with patterns. I'm not sure if that works in this game though. He may have just had patterns there and someone decided to move on top of it.

It looks like the orangey patterns are the places he wants villagers to move on. Organization!

Actually, if you look at the house examples in the back it appears as the orange is the space between the houses, while the white (3x3 which is the size of a neighbors house) is the one he actually intends for people to move into. I don't know. It looks fishy. He might be trying something out that is outdated.

 

[pocky]

villagers can move onto patterns, it happens all of the time in my game

Just did this; got a fence for Friga. Eh, don't really want her. So I reset, and go through rover again, and then-- eh? There's a house where the fence was. It's Friga.
Eh wot?
D:

EDIT: Decided to just go with it, so I made it back to the normal day, no more TTing for real now 2.2

But then
Friga's house is a fence again
Still for Friga though.
I'm so confused?????????????????????????????

 

[ChaosKitten]

I had the same thing happen to me, Tsuki. One day made a new character over and over and it was Violet every time. The ONLY explanation for it was I got her from a Streetpass. So that might've happened for you, or you visited a village with Friga moving and she still decided to move to your town without you talking to her.

Are you sure you didn't load any existing characters before resetting?

Or maybe it was just a coincidence?

Say I went to a town when an animal was moving, and convinced them to move to my town. Whenever I do this trick, will they be the only one that tries to move it? I swapped her with another villager, and I would hate to lose her...

Yes, they will be the only one who will try to move in, if that's what you're asking.
