I?ve seen soo many dream villagers on peoples signatures, and also i?m the trading post board, but i?ve always wondered why people have dreamies? Like how would someone find out exactly which villagers they wanted. Doesn?t that take so much time? I love my villagers that come whenever I move in haha so idk. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
 
For some its looks, for some its preference. Sometimes it's both. For me it's a little of both, but I have a pretty special connection with Skye so I always have her in my towns.

The way I see it is having dreamies gives me a goal to work towards to. I'll often pick a set of villagers I can't live without (Skye, Wolfgang and Vivian in my case) and pick and choose villagers I've never had before and like their design.
 
It is really just preference. My preference is dogs, so all of my dream villagers happen to be dogs. For some, it is whichever villagers may fit in with their town theme, or if they simply like their design. Some people just pick villagers they like. The reasons vary; it is simply preference.
 
At first I just looked at lists of villagers by type or species and decided which ones looked cute to me, but now as my town’s progressed I’ve also changed my preferences and tend to lean toward blue animals and animals with half closed lids. Also, cats

This explains it a little better than my post.

My dreamies are often based on three things:

1. Their design (and personality, to an extent).
2. Have I had them in a town before?
3. Their birthday's month.

I try to have as many personalities in my town as possible. In my current town that I'm currently creating, I have all personalities except for Peppy, because I find Peppy villagers annoying. On top of this, I make sure my dreamies have a birthday for as many of the months possible. I've also tried to include species I've never really had in many of my towns.

Vivian (Snooty, January 26)
Skye (Normal, March 24)
Phoebe (Uchi, April 22)
Jacques (Smug, June 22)
Erik (Lazy, July 27)
Boots (Jock, August 7)
Whitney (Snooty, September 17)
Elmer (Lazy, October 5)
Wolfgang (Cranky, November 25)
Carrie (Normal, December 5)

Including my own birthday, it covers 11 out of 12 months of the year so every year has at least one 'event' for the Town outside of holidays. It also has species I've never really had in any of my towns being Kangaroo, Alligator and Deer.

It's a pretty fun and unique way to pick and choose villagers.

In my older town, I chose 'dreamies' based on the villagers I already had or once had, and kept moving the ones I didn't want out until I was satisfied with the ones I got. That is a pretty common way for most beginners who don't care about popularity: Just playing the game, and decide through the experience of having them in your town!
 
hmm i've never had a set list of "dreamies." i do have villagers that i like a whole lot and enjoy, but i found them from meeting them in the game. the perk of my most recent town is trying to see more villagers! if i hadn't done that, i would've never met felyne, erik, or poncho. though i plot reset and stuff, i really do enjoy the organic nature of acnl.
 
I usually pick one from each personality based on looks. Cause I'll see them everyday that I play, so they have to be visually pleasing. The last two I choose based on which personalities I like best.
 
I choose ones that look good and viable for headcanons. I like most of the monkey villagers, but I’m not willing to have Monty(moved out), and Big Lips into my town.

I’m trying to get all personality types on the other hand and having less Monkey villagers(only four).
 
i connected to some villagers.
when i was young and had wild world, i grew attached to static. even had a weird crush on him?? i was a weird kid.
but that never left me. i just always loved em.
and as for other villagers, i just like the way they look for the most part!
