This happens to me. I was looking today and came across Norma on an island who I thought was really cute but then I snapped out of it. I'm glad I didn't take her because Poppy ended up moving in instead and she's one of my dreamies!

Yeah it happened a lot hahaha
My villagers are far from the dreamies I imagined in the beginning but I'm happy to discover new characters too.

I was searching for Zucker, Audie and Coco the first time I did Island hopping, I took Tucker, Flora and Caroline.
The second time I was searching for Cyd, Kabuki, Coco and Tiffany and I took Audie.
And the third time I was still looking for Cyd, Kabuki, Coco and Tiffany and I took Kiki !

One of my plot has been taken randomly by Elvis because of a canceled transaction sadly... I managed to get Cyd from someone but too late so I opened a new plot.
I have only one house remaining that I can place on my island, so I'm planning on a new island hopping trip as soon I have stocked some NMTs.

Are you still looking for Zucker, if so I can trade him to you?

I probably got 30+ dreamies, I don't look for specific ones, I just want one of the ones with a personality I'm missing.

I always try villagers out. If I don't like them, I'll just wait for them to move, no big deal. I have my dreamies amiibo cards so I'm fine to play around with other villagers. I'm glad I have this outlook because I fell in love with Puddles and intend to keep her.

What is the campsite trick?

Basically TTing to try to get the villager you want through filtering out campers. You can find a detailed write-up about what it is and how to do it here.

Yes but I got rather popular villagers, like Audie, Julian, and Zucker. Still waiting to sell/trade Audie and Julian but I let Zucker go. A bit of a waste, though it was funny seeing the moonlight shine off of his shiny head lmao

I believe this has been answered already above. If you’re okay with TT, I vouch for this method. It’s also dependent on RNG and luck but I found this to have more favorable results than island hopping especially if you’re looking for ONE specific villager of a personality you currently don’t have.
