How do you decide your dream villagers?

[CainWolf]

Do you pick villagers you already had before and feel a personal connection with? Do you see a picture of them elsewhere and decide they're cool? Do you pick them based on a town theme? Perhaps a combination of things, that's pretty much how it went for me.

 

[Dinosaurz]

You just search up villigers that look cool xD.
But wolfmoor is because all wolfs and stuff.

 

[leahhhhaaaaa]

My first town I picked them because I remembered them from wild world. And now my second town, I picked them because they're cute.

 

[mitzi_crossing]

My dreamies/villagers are a combination. Some are from past games that I always loved, and some I just have because they look cute and fit in in my town ^^

 

[Patypus]

I start off by picking a few that I just absolutely adore and love, whether it's because of their looks or because I grew an attachment to them from previous towns. I then try to adapt the remaining villagers to a theme taking everything about the characters I choose into consideration: Their personality, their colors, etc... and then I narrow down the entire animal crossing roster to a few that I absolutely want or would consider, and keep doing this until I reach a full roster c:

 

[TarzanGirl]

I accidentally said I like popular villagers when I meant to click the theme box. In some of my towns I picked villagers to go with a theme, but some villagers I just picked because they appealed to me for some reason.

my dreamies are all past villagers that i miss c:

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

I have a certain theme for my town which is kawaii so I decided to put in lots of cats for my villagers with a equal amount of males to females with at least 1 villager of every personality~

A combination of the first 3 options basically. I probably spent hours scrolling through the wiki before starting the game to choose my villagers in my first town. I just restarted my town and this time I'm doing a winter/northern theme so all my villagers are animals that look like they could last through the winter. However I'm making the exception that a couple I'm really attached to from my old town will be making a reappearance. So I will have a very cold cat and koala in my wintery dream town.

 

[QueenOfFabulous]

I've had Chrissy(a starter villager in my current town), Francine, Olivia and Kitty in previous games. Bruce and Fauna I met in a friends town, Julian and Beau were random move ins and I had Bam and Cherry in my previous town.

 

[Serif]

I wanted at least one of each personality. I just looked through all the animals and chose the ones I liked.

 

[Awesomeness1230]

I choose using a website that shows you villager's houses.

 

[_Nightcore_]

I've gotten a few I've had in previous games like Ankha and Savannahm, while others I saw on the wiki and thought were really cool.

 

[Dinosaurz]

I fell in love with Fang but that was pretty much it, the rest were because they were wolves.

 

[starcharmer]

I choose on past experience and nostalgic memories for a few like Olivia and Wolfgang, who are residents of my original ACPG town. I actually didn't go looking for them they just happened to be a starter or a move-in and since I know them and adore them it makes for a very enjoyable experience to have them with me here in my first NL town. It's been so nice having them around I'm pretty sure they'll be permanent residents and if I ever decide to make a new town I would take them with me. C:

I also chose on who I think I would enjoy and wanted for a long time like Vesta and Snake. I've never had either of them prior but they're both really fun to have around and I love them so it's a dream come true there.

If I can I like meeting all sorts of villagers through the dream suite.
It gives me a feel of what it's like having them around before I think about moving them in for real.

Tia and Drago were theme-based and because I fell in love with their design; the latter is true as well for Bianca, Phoebe and Muffy. Julian, Freya, and Fang were past favourites, though this iteration of Fang may wind up being let go as he feels less a part of Baker than any other villager :\

 

[dudeabides]

I just try to remember the ones I can, not just the ones I have right now on the current game, and the top ten I can remember are the ones!

 

[Ichigo.]

For some of them I basically just chose villagers I thought were cutest, while others I loved after getting to know.

 

[ona272]

I have 3 towns. the first two towns are all based on the few species that i like. so one town has deer, squirrels, and elephants. the second has ducks and cubs. my 3rd town is actually my best friends town and she didnt care about villagers so i had my mice, dogs, and tigers.

yesterday, i loaded her game and Cherry, the reason i like all the dogs, MOVED OUT. now im just not even gonna care about her town </3 she decided since im not controlling her villagers anymore, she wants to have an all black and white town, so her villagers are like roscoe and whitney and kiki and lucky.

 

[RainCrossing]

My theme is Forest so I usually go with natural coloured villagers and forest animals.
