The highest amount of residents you can have at any time is 10.
Sounds like something that's written right after the game was first announced and detailed were still unclear.
I also say 10 villagers, because according to Isabelle you need to own a house (or a plot of land) before you can be registered as a resident. A camper doesn't own land or a house. It only utilizes that what is provided by the mayor. If you count the camper as a full resident than every special visitor who sets up a tent at the plaza should also be considered a full resident.![]()
Well, that's not entirely true. When a campers in your town, and if you have 10 residents, that's technically 11 "residents".
Technically, yeah. And then you can have 4 human characters. Altogether that's 15. And then special visitors make 16. So technically you could have 16 villagers at one time.
But anyway, false![]()
Well, 10 villagers max
So if you had 10 villagers, 4 people living in your house, 14 so far
Then 3 people came over, 17 people in your town
Grab a special character, max is 3 [Badge man, joan, katie]
