"Controlling" where houses appear.

[chriss]

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...

Yup, after you ask a villager to move in, you'll always get that villagers plot when resetting.

Alright, thank you! c: Good to hear!

If a villager moves in the middle of an orchard or flower garden while using this trick, will the trees/flowers be restored when you reset and make a new character?

Yes, the reason the trick works is because nothing is saved, unless you complete the setup.

Okay, thank you so much for answering! I figured that the trees/flowers would be restored, but I don't like assuming things, hence the stupid question. lol

Just did this tonight and it worked like a charm!

How it happened:

• Greta

Because of this I got Ankha in my town.

THANK YOU!

Currently resetting for my sixth villager
Had Prince, Drago & Chaddar & Katt so far..

I had a villager move out yesterday and I've been TT for this method. I'm still not getting any plot of land! Do I have to save my new character each time because when I see no plot of land, I just quit the game without saving my new character. >___<

Yesterday(28th) I found and convinced Phoebe(Tent) to move to my town. Rory is in boxes today(he said he was moving on the 29th). Can a new plot show up on the day one of your villagers is boxed and ready to move?

 

[Gizmodo]

Have done this perfectly for Vesta, Freya, Muffy & Stitches ^_^

I'm pretty sure yes I believe I had something similar to this happen before.

I've controlled every one of my villagers move-in's (besides Ribbot, who needs to leave, and Walker who moved in randomly a couple days after I got the game and I love him too much to ever let him leave)

Dream code in sig for reference They don't line up perfectly but a few of those placements took me hours and I got lazy ;_;

 

[Teacup]

Sooo, I asked a villager from another town to move in yesterday, and I'm using this method to try to place his house now. Why does he keep alternating between two placements? There's tons of other space around town. :c It's been the same for roughly ~10 resets.

I have a feeling that villagers like to be near to the river/cliff/town hall or re-tail. I've a huge empty expanse in my town and in all my resetting for plots (~ done this for everyone one moving in since my 7th/8th villager) only 1 plot has appeared near the edge of it. though 1 of my starting villagers lived in the middle of it.

Otherwise it's just random or PWP detering them.


@Peekabear, you've done the same as me in my alt town I see. xP I have 9 villagers along a little spit of land and Pinky who refuses to move out.

I seriously love this trick, I've been using it since I first read this thread, and it works great ^^ Alfonso now has a prime housing spot!
Does anybody have the link to the campsite version of this thread? I used to have one but I lost it.

I didn't know there was a campsite thread for this, but if you posted in it then it should have auto saved into Quick Links (below the bulborb/pink pikmin/new post bit up top) -> My Subscriptions for you.

I've had buttholes try and move RIGHT next to Re-tail, blocking a path to a small beach.

I'm kind of confused right now. So I just asked Hamprey to move into my town so will he appear in my campsite or will he automatically have a house in my village? Isn't relevant but gah...
