Friendship Affects Move Outs! (Villager Move Out Datamine and Calculator)

Yeah, so I guess we will see villager abuses skyrocket.
Really if you want a specific villager to leave, using an amiibo is the best way, if possible.
That’s what I’ve been doing since I already had a bunch of Amiibo cards leftover from half a decade ago when I played New Leaf but if you want one of the new villagers like Raymond, Dom, Audie or Sherb or something, you really need an empty spot :/
Thanks. That was helpful. I must have a few at max, but no pictures yet. My 10th resident is at the lower level and the other three in the middle.

One thing to note is that Ninji said that the friendship mechanic is RNG based on the friendship levels of the villagers on your island. So if you are equally nice to everyone, the odds will remain roughly equal. If you don't want to be mean, the easiest method is to just play normally and ignore thought bubbles when they are on villagers you want to keep.

thanks for sharing this info!
Am I the only one who kind of has an issue with just hitting and being mean to the villagers - especially considering I have some of their photos up in my house and they've been on my island since the start?
I know that they're not real and it's just pixels behind the screen but I think it kind of would ruin the game for me especially since I decided to be more open to villagers I wouldn't usually go for this time around.
I think I'd ONLY do it if they were literally like "okay, you hit me. I'm moving now, "b**ch".
What I'll do instead is start ignoring them from now on until they move.

ngl, I'm a bit upset that friendship levels affect move outs after all, because it means people are gonna feel justified in hitting their villagers lol. I know they're just pixels and lines of code and it's not that deep etc etc but it still bothers me :<

Same. Tom asked to move out when he was the most recent move-in. I told him no obviously. But anyway, just thought I'd add that lmao

I feel the same. I'm too empathetic so I feel bad even if they're like SUPER ugly. I had Rodney (acne face hamster) and though I hated him I almost got depressed seeing him sit alone by the pond watching bugs and singing to them then huffing softly and staring into the pond with a sad frown... i had put him on a cliff with no incline so he was practically stuck up there.. it made me feel horrible lol.

Have a lovely day!
When non-amiibo campsite villagers move onto the island, does that reset the 15 day wait period for villagers asking to move out?

In my experience, no. I had a campsite villager move in, then I had a villager request to move five days later.
No, amiibo villagers don't affect natural move-outs.
Some thoughts:
Villagers get thought bubbles for different reasons. Here is a list:
- they have a non-moving concern they want you to address (multiple sorts)
- they have a favor to ask
- they want to give, sell, or trade something
- asking about moving
And first 3 reasons aren't bad and can improve friendship! ... Of course, it's also possible they'll ask about moving.
Now, suppose you're unlucky and the thought bubble keeps sticking to a villager you want to keep.
Could the constant ignoring of the thought bubble end up being detrimental if you're still in the process of building up a good relationship with them?
I ask because I've had two thought bubbles to move, but all the rest were positive friendship influences.

You're not suppose to ignore the thought bubble and people who frequently cycle villagers can usually tell what kind bubble a villager will have. Ignoring a villager does nothing to friendship.
If you just logged in for the first time today and see a thought bubble and it has been an appropriate amount of time since the last moving bubble, then that villager will most likely ask to move.
Very rarely do the moving bubbles occur later in a play session.
I thought this was totally random so i just went ahead and started talking to everyone and giving them stuff daily. Now that i think about it, when i was trying to do the campsite method, the ones who asked me to move out were two of my last three move ins who i unintentionally ignored almost since they moved in, because i was busy tting.
