Do you ever feel villager regret?

So far no villager regret in my game.
I almost regretted moving out a villager, but it was worth it.
 
I don’t know if I’ve felt regret, but I’ve definitely been sad about replacing some of my neighbors with others because if fit the theme of my town more. I almost wanna make another island just to see if I can add some of those other neighbors in, but alas, I only have one. 😭

That's actually one of the reasons I jumped the gun and bought a second Switch... I had both Graham and Rodney at the same time, which is a no-no. So when I moved out Rodney, I got him back on my second island.

I am worried I am about to have regret! I have willow in my campsite, and am considering letting her replace fauna. I always meant to let fauna go eventually, but she’s been with me a long time and because I’ve given her clothes and little decorative items she feels very personalized. So I am worried I will regret letting her go and not able to recreate my feeling for my particular fauna even if I were able to get a new one.

I know this is a very silly concern, but just something I am wrestling with today.

I know this is late, but I'm wondering if you ended up moving Willow in? If so/not, how are you feeling about it now?

I ended up having totally different regret, in that despite the fact that she asked to be invited by the second time I talked to her, she never chose either fauna or pashmina (the other option) until she suggested fauna so late at night that I was just too tired to deal and just let willow go. It’s a shame, in a way, because she one of the villagers I remember being interested in when I was looking through them for the first time. But at the same time, I’m still enjoying trying out different villagers (willow would potentially become permanent) and I like my funny personalized fauna for now, with her green skull radio and cute dresses.

I would definitely have had more regret letting fauna move out of desperation when I was half asleep than I did letting willow go.

(but still may carry a slight grudge against willow until we meet again...)

That’s crazy! I mean, my brother and sister have separate switches, so I can always just design their islands and move some of my missing neighbors in for fun 😜. I’m too lazy though, and just one ACNH island is enough to handle! Haha.
 
I wouldn't say I've had regret, but I definitely have felt sad letting my villagers go. The first villager I let go, Prince, I was okay with since I already had 2 other lazies and needed a snooty, but after that I've definitely felt the pain of letting go of Sandy, Angus and Gwen. Even though there's only 2 villagers who I want to keep permanently and I do want to try and slowly rotate through villagers to try and keep things fresh, I definitely can't help but get attached to anybody who does end up on my island, and it always sucks to let them go, knowing they'll no longer be a part of my group of villagers.
