Do you play the “Dreamie Game?”

[Croconaw]

Most of us have dreamies. Most of us have ten villagers we want in our town. Some may have nine dream villagers, but the fact is, we have dreamies. We love our dreamies, and we do not want our dreamies to leave. I totally understand that. There are certain villagers I have attachments to and I would love for them to stay in my town. However, something about having the same ten villagers seems stale to me?

That is why I try to keep my dreamies to the amount of, maybe, five? For example, my town in New Leaf had Bones, Mac, Shep, Butch, and Lucky. Those were my dreamies and I wanted to keep them. However, I let the other five villagers rotate out, so there is more of a variety. (Yeah, says the person with five dog villagers...) Hey, I just love dogs, alright?

At one point, I want to create a town where every villager is actually a dog, but I’m saving that for the next Animal Crossing game.

How many of you play the “Dreamie Game?” Do you have ten dream villagers? Do you have a few dream villagers, and let the remaining villagers rotate? How is your town?

I'm trying to get everyone's photo then I'll let them all cycle through again until I have the perfect set.

I'm aware this will take about fifteen years hahaha.

I use to limit myself to how many dreamies I had. It started with just wanting Skye, Wolfgang and Chief.. but I kinda just came to the conclusion that having more kinda gives me an 'end-game' goal of sorts. I like A LOT of villagers, so I tend to adopt villagers I like anyways, so I may as well call them dreamies in the end.

I don't really have dreamies. I like to meet new villagers I have not had before. If I like them they stay for a while but then I let them go so I can experience new neighbours. I too would like to have all the possible villagers in my town at sometime.

My last town was about trying to reunite the favorite villagers of my 2 failed towns before, so it may have well been the dreamie game in that regard. After that, I did not want any of them to leave, and my town projects were fully set in stone. After that, it was 'complete,' and game play was getting stale after over a year of playing...

Thus, I decided to make a final dream and deleted the town to build a different one. This new town has a special ruleset called a Zenlocke that allows villagers to come and go as they please - and this makes for an ever-changing town that is much less stale!

I decided a few weeks ago to stick to a color scheme, which includes villager exteriors, so it depends on if you would count a list of villagers with fitting exteriors as dreamies or not. The older personalities have quite a few, but the newer personalities are a bit more of a problem, especially Uchi, which only has three that fit, only one of whom, Phoebe, I actually really want.

I think the idea of Zenlocke is really cool, though, and if I ever restart my town, I could imagine playing with a modified version of Zenlocke (basically, with full landscaping, so only really the rules about letting random villagers move in and TT'ing).

unfortunately yes!! ii play the dreamie game.. @ 1st when ii knew you were able to do that get exactly who you wanted ii was like OMGGGG and then i ifound this forum, bc 1 day ii was Google'ing how to get them, how much do their cards cost, where do ii buy them from and it was all beginning to be too much, then ii was like 'oh no ill never get them' then my 1st Dreamie on my list to show up was Skye!!! all on her own in my Campground! ii was super happy! then this forum came up and ive been hooked ever since!!

My Dreamies Originally were to be March Pisces Bday Villagers, and their bday had to be around the week of my Bday!!! ii found out which ii them and ii was on a mission to get them, to which ii did get all of them, bht then ii sadly had to let a majority go, bc ii realised ii wouldnt get any PWPS bc they were almost all the same kind/type like Peppy/Normal..

ii kept like 2, Merengue and Julian (who has the bday the day before lol)

ii to want to get every Villager Pic, and Bunny Day/April Fools Day was my 1st Event on AC, and ii learned we get every Pic after we help them, so once ii got my Dreamies Pics, and had to rotate them out to get new Villagers for PWPS ii go back to April 1st to get their Pics lol

Usually most dreamies I have, are ones that I have experienced having before. So I'm all for seeing what all the other villagers are like. For a while, I've been making notes for 4 towns, mainly for which villagers should be in it, and over time while looking at all the villagers, I felt like trying it least all of them to see how I really feel about them. Cause they are all seem interesting to me.
Reading your thread though, I though for an idea for a town would be changing villagers everytime, like not having the same villagers for a while.

I like switching them out a lot. I mean, I have dreamies in a sense, there's a few villagers that will prefer over others either due to personal attachment or I like their design. Still, getting my dreamies and then just keeping them makes the game go a bit stale to me. I did eventually wind up with all the ones I wanted in my old town, but, grew bored of it. Felt a bit like it all was "done".

So yeah, do have dreamies, but I prefer seeing them come and go. I do however want to make another "perfect" town at some point, not to actually make it perfect, but to have a really good dream address showing exactly what I like/want. Thankfully I have two cartridges
