How Many Villagers in Your Town?

[Luke1287]

Hey all,

Wanted to get a general consensus on this. Right now I have a perfect town, and not including myself, I have 9 villagers. I've read that the max is 10, and have seen other towns with 10, plus the mayors house and a secondary character. What gives? Do user characters count towards that 10?

 

[desu]

No. The maximum amount of villagers you can have is 10,
the maximum amount of playable characters you can have is 4 (the first one being mayor)

User characters do not count, only animal villagers do

I have 10 plus myself and a second character

Hmm, interesting. Despite having a perfect town for the past month or so, I still am stuck at 9 animals. Maybe this means I could go to another town where someone is in boxes and ask them to move in? Or the campsite? Normally another house would just pop up, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

You have to get the 10th villager from the campsite or another town

Yeah, the 10th villager is one you need to invite in, either from camp or someone in boxes ((or if you're unfortunate, from someone's recent void))

Wow, you'd think I would have learned that after about two years of owning the game. Thanks for the responses!

I currently have 10 and I'm imprisoning them all to stay in my town for all eternity. ;w; Although I'm not very fond of Ankha it would be such a hassle to replace her.

I currently have 10 villagers, my mayor, and will be bringing in a 2nd villager once i get all my dreamies in place

Ive got 10 villagers, a mayor and three residents

I have 10 villagers too. If you're planning on putting a path/bushes thoroughly in your town - it's best to get a full 10 villager town just so that a random 10th villager from someone's void doesn't unexpectedly move in and destroy paths/bushes xD. I also have 2 players in my town - my main and a player I use for extra path slots and to have a permanent tent for ^^.

I haave 9 villagers. Oh wait, I forgot about Rosie (she moved in two days ago ). I guess that makes 10!

 

[Luke1287]

Man, I need to get on the ball with adding a 2nd character! I didn't realize it was so commonplace. Do you just add them for more designs? Or do you split time between your mayor and 2nd character?

Also, I had Camofrog in my campsite yesterday, so it was the perfect opportunity to test this out. I finally got him to agree to move here (after about 20 games, 10 trying to convince him, and another 20 random comments on camping). I just walked my town to assess the damage of what trees/flowers/paths his house was going to destroy....but nothing! Not even a roped off area. I know he said he was going to go home first, so maybe this will happen tomorrow? Can anyone provide any insight?

I have 10 villagers, but that will soon go back down to 9 tomorrow since Velma is planning on moving out tomorrow
