I lost Tabby the same way, no picture either, I was in the hospital because my leg was broken and when I finally was better I went on and I cried so hard to see the letters "Oh, and Mayor! One of our resident's 'Tabby' is leaving tomorrow." I was just bawling at that point. FRICK'N QUILSON TOOK HER F****** PLACE

I went camping for three days too.I made sure to stop playing on the days that I stopped a villager from moving on both of my towns.All was well when I returned.I am really sorry for your loss.Just always make sure to do that when you plan on taking a break.I have had the same 10 villagers in my Joy town for almost a year, and I take breaks all the time.

I know it's harsh but you kind of deserved it lol. I always make sure no one wants to move before I travel and I tt back to the day and move forward 2-3 days until I get to the current day. I've NEVER lost any villager so idk how you people manage to do it xd

Keep in mind not everyone knows the tricks to keeping villagers in town (even if you do you can sometimes boot up your game without thinking after a hiatus). I remember the "stop playing on the day someone asks to move" one from WW, I was glad to hear it still works.

Aww :c I know the feeling. I lost my precious Marshal due to time traveling.

God, I miss him.

 

[Swiftstream]

You should have just timetravelled back 3 days if you were away. Then everything would've stayed the same.

I lost Rosie too because I had to study for exams. Good luck finding her.

 

[juicyness]

You didn't play for only three days and Rosie had both packed up AND actually moved? And someone had just moved before that?
... That seems weird.

Wat is dis roblox?

 

[quinnator]

awh im sorry the same thing happened to me with ankha she was my favorite villager and my friend gave her to me. i loved talking to her and going to her house and then just gone it was so depressing

 

[Halation]

Why not just keep track of the day you last played, and start from there? Instead of jumping ahead to the current day your on...which is always risky.

I'm sorry you lost your villager but don't worry, it's just a game anyway and you can get Rosie back through cycling and getting her back from someone else.

In the future, you can prevent losing villagers when you're away by doing one of two things.

If you know you will be away in advance, turn down a villager's request to move on the last day you play (if nobody pings you, just move ahead day by day and get someone to ping you about it). This means you can leave your game alone for as long as you want and when you go back, nobody will have moved because the last day you played, you turned down a request to move.

If it's an unexpected absence from your game, don't panic. Do NOT start the game as your mayor. Instead, start the game as a new character (a side character who will be in the same town, don't delete your mayor or anything). The answers you give in the train sequence don't matter since you won't have to keep this character anyway. When you get to the station, Porter will give you a town map and tell you to go to the town hall. Do NOT go to the town hall. Instead, check the map carefully to see if any villager houses are missing. If none are missing and you want to be extra careful, go visit all villagers who are in their homes (you don't have to go into the town hall to do this so don't go there) and see if anyone is in boxes.

If someone moved away or were in boxes, quit without saving. Go to the 3DS settings and set the date to the day you last played. This will trick the game into thinking no time has gone passed at all. If you can't remember the date you last played, you can check your 3DS activity log.

Now go back to your game and load as your mayor, you should be on the date you last played now. Go find the villager who was missing in the present, and see if they ping you. If they don't ping you, talk to them 5-6 times and see if they mention moving. If they don't, save and quit, load the game as your mayor again, and try seeing if they ping you, talk to them, etc. They'll ask you to move after a few tries. If they don't, go back to the 3DS clock and set it to the next day, then try that process of seeing if anyone asks you to move again. Go on day by day until you get a request to move. Say no, then save and quit. Go to the 3DS calendar again and set it to today's date. You'll now be able to safely load as your mayor in the present and nobody will be gone.

Man, that's some really good advice.
