i accidentally let myself get down to 8 villagers. i really don't want a random move-in right now, especially when i'm getting so close to having all my dreamies. today is the day they would move in, is there any way i could change the date so they don't move in? i was thinking change the date on my ds? camofrog moved out yesterday (9th villager), will the new one be coming the next day (today) anyways?
 
Changing the date won't do anything because you would still have 8 villagers, and the game is going to have a random move in, regardless.

Typically the next day after a villager moves in, you won't have a random move it. It's highly likely tomorrow you will though. In my town, Kyle just moved out yesterday, and I'm down to 8 villagers too, I didn't have a random move in today.

My only guess is to get a dreamie today, so they take the place of a random villager? That's the only thing I can think of :| Otherwise, just plot reset so the random doesn't move into a terrible spot.
 
The random move in will usually come in 2 days after your villager moved out. Sometimes 3, but you can only prevent one from moving in by adopting a villager.
 
You could stay on the same day until you find a dreamie to move in for #9 as long as there isn't a plot yet. Just don't let the clock go past 6am.
 
i have two dreamies reserved and i was going to wait so i can get one. so i should stay on this day until i get a dreamie so a random move-in doesn't happen?
 
You basically have two options:

1) keep the date the same. Ensure you're date hasn't changed before loading up the game. Stay on that day until you receive your dreamie.

2) load up the game with a new character and look for a plot. If ou don't have one, make a house with the new char and save. You can now safely play through the day. Bear in mind though that the 7th day after having 8 villagers is a 100% move in rate if my sources are correct, so don't go too far if you plan to do this.

I think the easier option is to stay on that day, but if you wanna play a few days for your game because you're bored or really want to play, you should be okay for a day or two so long as you use a scout first.

Good luck on your dreamies and I hope you get one soon :3
