Plot Resetting..?

[staeples]

ok so i have Bill moving in from a friends town and i got a few questions.

1. how long does it take for a villager from someone elses town to set down a plot in your town? i need to know what day to do this on since its Feb 23rd in my town right now. I just got Bill on 2/22 (my towns time)(i got him today[1/5]).
2. after you find the villagers plot and its in a bad spot, you can just reset and make a new character, right?
3. im wanting to know how this works for campsite villagers. do you go through the same process of making a player and deleting it?

Bill is super cute <3

1.) If they're moving from someone else's town then they should put their plot down the next day. (Be sure to time travel one day forward if you're time traveling.)
2.) Make new character walk around look for plot.
+If you don't see it, restart and make another new character. If you still don't see it I usually time travel to the next day without checking with a main character until I find it. If you don't check in with a character, the game won't count jumping around.
3.) One you find the plot, reset without saving if you don't like it until you find a spot you like.
4.) Once you've found the spot you like, take your new character to Isabelle and go through the process of buying a house until you can save.
5.) Save and quit, the switch to your mayor and it should be in the right spot : )

With the camping trip it will take 2 days for a plot to appear.

I would imagine the logic behind it is that the villager has to pack their stuff up at home before they can place a plot?
Other than that it's the same trick. For placing the campers moving in, and for checking the igloo. : )

(It might help to think of the time as just a number of days instead of actual dates. So it will take one day, instead of 'he said he's coming on ')

Today (let's say it's Monday): You win the game and invite the camper to move in.
Tuesday: Camper will be "home" to pack their stuff.
Wednesday: A plot will appear in your town where the camper will move.
Thursday: The camper will have moved in and is unpacking
Friday: The camper will be walking around town as a regular villager and can be talked to.

On Wednesday, before logging in with your mayor, you make a new character and keep resetting the game without saving (and making a new character) until you agree where the camper will move in. Build a tent, save, and load your mayor.

The resetting for plots works the same for getting campers, but you don't always have a camper. In 10 resets you may only find 2 campers in your town. It's very time consuming, but it's worth having full control over who moves into your town. I'm never comfortable when having just 9 villagers because I have flowers everywhere.
