Question About Random Move-Ins

[koopasta]

So, I have a question regarding villagers moving in at random (not adopting them from other towns). Let' say you have one of every villager type except cranky villagers. Would the game be more likely to randomly move in a cranky villager because you don't currently have one in your town or is the villager completely random? I'm asking because in my second town I'll be letting some villagers move while some are permanent, though I'd also like to keep the villager types decently balanced.

Nope, it isn't. Completely random. But because of the vast amount of villagers in the game and each personality having a decent respectable amount for that personality, it is likely you'll get a personality you may need.

With random move-ins the game will send you the personality types your town doesn't have unless that particular personality type is the one that just moved out.For example,if you had nine villagers and your only lazy moved out,the game will send you random personality types but no lazies.

I should also mention that after someone else moves out, the game will almost always move in someone of the personality type that moved out before them. In this case it would be lazy. In remember taking advantage of this when reseting for specific villagers before I had amiibo cards.
