I tried googling it, but most of the guides I found were pretty confusing. I wanna try and get into the swing of it and maybe give people their dreamies, but I don't know where to start. Any tips for a newbie?
Warning about that guide, you have to start with someone in boxes for it to work, you can't do it randomly. So just tt one day at a time until Isabelle announces it and you can go super fast. My advice is to get a picture taken and a campsite right next to your house as well.
I've also tried tting 2 years and then 5 days, tting it all at once- NO combination works, you have to do 1 year 1 year 5 days or nobody will be in boxes.
Finally, if you want to plot reset for a villager, the day of the 2nd year is when a villager will have their plot set up.
