I keep resetting to get Carmen to move somewhere near the other peppy villagers, Truffles and Peanut, and she just won't go there.
She moved near Maple once... and I was fine but I tried to reset again and ugh.. I really wanted her to move there now!! Especially since I realized that she might not be able to plop where I wanted her to.
Anyone else have problems with this? Did you eventually get the desired place or did you give up?
Tbh, I don't really care where my villagers move atm. I haven't set up paths yet, and my perfect pears are in an area that doesn't have enough room for a villager to move in, so I'm just letting them plop down wherever until I get a good town and begin to work out all the dreamies I'll rotate.
I wanted Cobb to move out because I didn't like him that much, the only thing I liked about him was his house placement. He had a really good spot for a house. A few days after he was gone Bree moved in, her house basically had the same spot as Cobbs, just two spaces backward. So that turned out pretty well for me.
I don't ever reset for these kinds of things though, I adapt easily.
It takes me a while sometimes. But other times I just put the game down and try again a few hours later and they'll move in the exact spot I wanted.
Idk if this is just me, but when I type random letters for the name, the plot appears on opposite sides of the map.
I can type "x" and they'll plop down in the bottom right of town about 8/10 times , or I can name the character "937?v" and suddenly the plot is in the top right.
I know it doesn't really affect where the plot appears, but its fun pretending and gets rid of the stress
I went on for 4 hours trying to get Deirdre's house in the perfect place...I spread out the time doing it, and I finally got a pretty good placement at 2 AM. :/ She was only once near the place I wanted her, but too close to my house. At least I got her in a decent place! It was originally going to be where I was going to have Marshal's house, but I suppose having his house near the cliff is fine, too.
i do not really like reseting, for me if a neighbor moves in a really bad place it just makes fun for me to make my town different and to make the new neighbor fit in
Yes it happened to me with both Coco and Kid Cat. They just wouldn't go in the right spot! But with persistence they finally knew their place haha. In a manner of speaking.
This morning, before school at 7AM, I was trying to get Benjamin to fill in the blank spaces in my "neighbourhood"! At one point I almost used my character by mistake and I almost exploded.
