Nate the lazy bear!
Long story if you are interested:
I cycled almost every ACNL villager and he never showed up. Then the cycle began again with repeats.
When that happened last year (!) I was so bummed. I even stopped playing for awhile. Everything seemed so impossible.
I was going to get Nate from someone but they voided him.
Then I realized he could move from my other town!
So I started the cycling method just after his birthday.
Who is first in the cycle? NATE.
Nate and Tutu are sweethearts. Now Tutu is in my other town in boxes. Waiting.
Now Tutu's town is on hold until one of the Bears in Rumble on the other side of the river move out so she can move in...
Ah. The struggles of a theme town.
For the moment, Rumble is back into 2016 and I am so happy!!
Tutu will be waiting!
For now I building Rumble up as much as I can so she will be happy to live with her beloved!
TL,DR: Getting villagers you want is hard work but worth it!
