Mixed feelings on a villager moving out

[Underneath The Stars]

I got sad after I kicked out Tangy. I was messing with the billboard after she moved out and saw the announcement for her birthday (which I totally forgot about), I felt so bad. I kicked her 6 days before her special day, and I couldn't visit her in her new home to gift her anything. Never had mixed feelings about villager move outs but this really hit me. Talk about major guilt.

yeah that is sad, that's why i check their birthdays before i let them move out i'd rather have them celebrate first before they go if it's near. but ngl, this happened to me with maple (who happens to be 1 of my 3 normals and i want to let go of 2 of them) and when i went to her birthday she talked about hoping to celebrate next year on my island as well and i was like marina is about to celebrate this weekend too and i'm sure she will say that lol

repetitive dialogue

Yeah, I get that a lot with a lot of the same kinds of villagers.

BTW. Where did you get the cool signature!

The reason i ask my friend invite my Agnes so i can invite her back tks to Bam ( and her house upgraded!!! cause she is one of 2 starters villagers ), and now she is one of my dreamies lol

Spoiler: I cant stand this lol

Helppp this might also happen to me once Ed decides to move out lol, he's my forced camper and he's not really a dreamie + I already got his photo so once he decides to move out, I'll let him, the problem is the more days he is in my island, the more I get attached to him and it'll definitely hurt me to see him go + he's such good friends with Julian, they are both horses (well Julian's actually a unicorn)and the same color so they look like brothers to me lol, but I must not get attached as I'm still going to search for the last 2 dreamies I have for my island...

So far, I didn't have any mixed feelings about my villagers moving. (I guess their personalities didn't match my tastes.) I can easily let go of smug villagers without a second thought!

Most of them came from my friend's void anyway. I am not sure if there are any players here who happened to like villagers over time by a result of an "accident."

i do--not from a void but a random villager moved in because i couldn't find a dreamie from the islands. i remember being so upset seeing someone named "jeremiah" taking the lazy plot spot, and i was actually like, oh no i will end up being bitter towards this villager. but then he arrived and all i can say is that he is a baby. and it worked out for the better because i didn't know the starting houses back then, if i found my ultimate lazy (punchy) then he'd be stuck with that house. which i actually don't mind with jeremiah's exterior style.

Well, Fang agreed to move in, and I picked Ken. I went to say goodbye, and he is wearing the island t-shirt and I about cried. He is just lines of code!!! Why do I feel bad???? How did the ninja chicken grow on me so much? I didn't want him; he was just the first campsite villager. *sigh* Oh well, maybe one day when I get tired of having all wolves, I will go looking for his amiibo and get him back. I did like his house.

I don't mind liking a random villager at all. In fact, they should encourage that more rather than getting someone from an island adventure or from the void. Your personal experience happened to me in New Leaf. I got Skye as a random move in before. I was 100% sure of kicking her out until she won me over after a few days. In fact, her expression "airmail" did entice me to keep her. (She's still in my New Leaf game up until this day.)

I reunited with her in New Horizons yesterday while looking for my dear Felicity.

I'm having to train myself to be okay with letting villagers move out. I never really cared in the older games, but there's a certain fun aspect in hunting villagers down that appeals to the tracker in me. Probably part of why I like shiny hunting in Pokemon and mount farming in games like WoW/FFXIV lol. In the end though, I have dreamies too though and I REALLY want them... but I also always feel bad when I let a villager go. Espessially if it's an ugly one. It leaves me feeling shallow :3

Though I also run into problems where some of my dreamies are the same type. There are a total of 3 normal villagers I adore, but I want one of each personality =/

Talk about confliction!

i really like the animals in this game but i never forget they are just ai, if u let a villiger go enjoy your new one! if u let him go i guess something in u had enough of this villiger. u deserve to enjoy more villiagers in the game if u like!

i saw someone in this post talking about lopez and he is the only villiager i felt bad in letting go.
when i saw he left the camera-shirt i gave him in the residnets service trash can i felt bad and remeberded how i always hated him wearing this shirt cuz he looked dumb in it and than i was sad for abit, but after a week with the new villiager i forgat and moved on..
plus u can always get them back so dont worry about it .

I let villagers leave very frequently, judging by this forum (I am still in a stage of just wanting to meet/ experience a lot of different villagers.) No matter how much I like the villager leaving, or was prepared to let them go, I find I get very sad every time!

 

[Raccoon Goon]

I get sad when someone leaves who I happened to like. I got emotional when Anabelle left - she'd asked to leave and I let her go, but I'm still sad. I actually saw her again during a recent mystery island tour but decided to not ask her to move in again.

I've had this happen before.
Before I got all my dreamies I had Merry which was my FAV villager.
But then I got Tia in the campsite and I HAD to have her but she wanted to kick out Merry,
I kid you not when I say I sat there for like 20 mins thinking of what to do, I even closed the game and started it again to see if she would kick out someone else but she still said Merry.
Then I just did it and was super sad for a few days.

 

[loveclove]

I feel like this every single time lol

 

[Underneath The Stars]

decided to throw a going away party for him with my villagers. i wish throwing parties is an actual thing like from the sims.

don’t mind me, i wanted some souvenirs and i’m sentimental over this because i’ve had him since new leaf and i never really let him move out.

 

[Jhine7]

I feel bad letting me starters go, but after that I don't feel as bad. I will feel bad when I eventually let Zucker go, but I have his photo now so it'll be okay.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

btw guys i really appreciate the replies in this thread, didn’t think it’ll get this much replies. i like having peeps to talk to regarding this because other people just won’t understand lol they’ll be like “they’re just digital animals”

I feel bad letting me starters go, but after that I don't feel as bad. I will feel bad when I eventually let Zucker go, but I have his photo now so it'll be okay.

he is my starter so i see your point. didn’t really feel bad with the other villagers i let go before him, including the forced campsite villager.

Yuppp...
I felt really sad when Apple and Norma moved out.
They were among my first 5 villagers and I ended up replacing them with amiibos but it felt a bit like betrayal. lol...
I know I will also feel really sad when Erik and Hazel decide to move out since they've been with me from the start.
I do think it's pretty neat in a way that villagers who are not even my favorites to begin with are able to evoke these types of emotions in me... Nintendo must be doing something right.

this is probably why i feel this way too. basically, after seeing a lot of dom content online i wanna be able to island hop again and look for him. i haven’t in a long time & i have plenty of tickets to do so now. either get him from there or trade for him online. and if i fail, scan in other villagers with the personalities i’m missing. yes personalities, i don’t have snooty or sisterly because i have 3 damn normal dreamies why are there so many great normals? smh. at some point i’ll let go 2 of them so i should be used to this lol

i am ready to meet more villagers, and i’ll probably get over this in a while once i’m happy with a new dreamie that moves in.
