RESOLVED Read for Tips : Camper at Campsite But Island is Full

[moon_child]

Can I still invite the camper to my island? If so, will the process be the same as an amiibo camper where I can choose who to replace?

This happened to me today and I was able to invite the camper to my island, but after he talked to Nook and found out my island was full he kept asking if he should trade places with a specific islander. I was thinking I'd be able to choose who to replace so maybe I just missed something, but unless I did, I don't think you get to choose like you do with amiibo campers.

random campsite move ins will pick a random villager to replace (but it sounds like they'll ask you first? maybe?) but an amiibo villager will let you select the villager to replace.

Amiibos allow you to choose who to kick out, but if it's a random campsite villager it'll kick someone random out.

Oh. Thanks for your replies. I’m scared to talk to the camper because I have five dreamies in my island right now and I’d like to keep them. I’m scared he might choose a dreamie to kick out.

Yeah honestly I personally wouldn't take that chance. Russian roulette isn't something I'd like to play in Animal Crossing lol

If you're really worried I probably wouldn't risk it, but in my case the camper did ask first. He wanted to replace a villager I really liked and I was able to say no.

Does the same work for Deserted Islands?
If I have a full town and I invite somebody from there will it kick out a random?

From my experience they'll ask and you can say no! I once tried to move in Mint but she said something like that Punchy was thinking of moving and she could talk to him about it, so I told her no. Sadly she never asked to replace anyone other than Punchy when I talked to her again though, so it seems like it's set to the one they choose.

Don’t think they even show up if your island is full.

I think it’s unfair that regular campers don’t let you choose. If all campers worked that way it’d be one thing, but clearly the programming to pick who moves out is already there for the amiibo visitors.

Sometimes I really don’t understand the decisions made for this game. Not having/using cards already makes it harder to get the villagers you want—so why does it have to be even more inconvenient?

 

[moon_child]

OKAY!!! So I mustered up enough courage to gamble talking to the camper and asking him to move in and he did suggest someone to swap with. The one he suggested first was my only snooty so I CLOSED THE GAME IMMEDIATELY. I loaded it up again and tried to ask. He suggested another villager but she’s a dreamie so I closed the game once more. The third time, he suggested swapping with another dreamie so I did as usual and closed the game. After some time of doing the same process, he fortunately suggested to swap with a villager who’s not a dreamie of mine (plus she’s a duplicate personality as I have another peppy who’s a dreamie) and I finally gave him the go signal! With that, we finalized the deal and he’s moving into my town. YEY!

So technically, you can still choose who to kick out. It’s just more roundabout if the camper is non-amiibo.

Thought I should share.

@moon_child as someone who doesn't have any amiibo (be it a toy or a card), that's very useful to know! When I was reading this thread I thought I would be essentially having to gamble if I had one villager I wanted on the campsite, but knowing this info, I can safely deal with the situation when I come to that point (I still have only 6 villagers).

YES!!! I was so so nervous while doing it but decided to try anyway because I’ve read the campsite don’t get much use since campers in this game are so few and far between so I thought I’d take this chance and find out if something may come off it. To make sure I don’t lose any progress, I first saved my game and then quit. Then went back in just for the sole purpose of trying to get him to move in. The entire time I was doing it, I was trying to look out for the auto save icon if it’s doing its thing or not. Fortunately, it didn’t auto save while I was negotiating with the camper. Also, important to note that when he brought up the name and asked to swap, I didn’t answer him NO. I just simply quit without saving the game. Then rinse repeat until he mentioned the villager I’m willing to let go. That’s when I answered him to go ahead, he confirmed he’s moving in and then that’s when I went out of the campsite and finally saved the game.

thank you so much for this information! i'm happy now and i don't need to rely on amiibo villagers to kick a specific villager out if i find somebody good in my campsite.

Thank you for this! This will be really helpful for so many people.

Hi hope u can get back today but I read this and luckily I got someone first try who I wanted my camper to replace. But with a second camper it seems to keep trying to replace the same resident, 5 times in a row the camper has tried to replace this one resident and not any others? How many times did u try? Thanks

It's random, and I didn't read all responses, but the first few did not mention that you can quit without saving and the game will randomly pick another. So you do have some control over who gets kicked.

That’s what I had thought and I have been leaving without saving and repeating but it seems to be the same resident every time. Maybe it’s purely dumb luck that’s it’s that resident each time ? haha

Could have been patched as of v1.2.0. If you're still out of luck after a few more tries, that's probably the case.
