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

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

You need to make sure you exit the game as SOON as you see who they're going to kick out. If you had the unfortunate luck where it autosaves just as they choose who to kick out, then unfortunately quitting without saving won't help you.

I can confirm it works because I've done it twice now with two different campers. I haven't done it since the new patch however so they may have patched this exploit out... Not sure. I'll have to try next time.

To piggyback off what Krissi has said, I've successfully got Raymond to switch the villagers he was going to replace after I've updated to the latest version so you might have missed that period before autosave kicked in to quit your game.

I’ll give it a couple more tries and see. If it’s patched that’s unfortunate

i think I may have missed the period unfortunately. I must not have paid attention enough so to confirm it does autosave nearly immediately after they pick the random resident? Also thanks so much for all the replies and how quickly too, this is my first time on this and I’m really pleased at the response and helpfulness here!

It auto saves after you say yes or no to the villager they asked to speak to. So do not wait for the conversation to finish. Just look at the villager name and if it’s not the one you want booted then reset your game.
I can confirm it’s not patched as the camper I’m trying to move in is choosing different villagers.

Glad it isnt patched! You may just be getting unlucky with who the camper chooses in that case haha

I’ve read the campsite don’t get much use since campers in this game are so few and far between

I've had three campers after my first forced move in, which I think is the same number I had in almost a year of playing New Leaf. So far it's been my experience that there are way more campers in NH than in NL, but this is anecdata. I'm not time traveling so I've only got like 5 or 6 weeks of play in.

The campsite was patched with the latest nature day update so there’s an increase in campers. We get campers now almost every two weeks.

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

I was just doing the campsite trick today to get some villagers and they still change the one they choose to boot out as long as you exit the game without saving before they finish their sentence. The moment you see the name just exit the game quickly. Don’t wait for them to prompt you for the yes and no answer and never answer them no because then the villager they chose will never change.

Well, I got the first two campers before the patch, so that was already trending "way more frequently than my NL experience." Which is exciting! I'm trying to be more open to letting villagers go this time around so more campers helps. I don't really have "dreamies" so even though I have a ton of amiibo cards, I don't want to scan amiibo in to get that churn.

Yes, the patch was a blessing. Before the patch, almost no campers show up after the first two. But with the patch, they show up pretty frequently. That’s why it’s faster and easier to do the campsite trick now.

Wish I had read this first, I went through the conversation and now feel like I'm stuck. Stitches keep proposing to replace Lily and there's 4 other villagers that I wish were gone... that's too bad.

If I create another villager, and that villager talks to him, might that work? Will he propose Lily? Can another player even invite someone from the campsite?

Sorry but I don't know how it works with other players.

 

[chibi moon]

this is just a theory, but maybe the villager you want to move has to be awake? that could explain why some people keep getting the same villagers being generated.

It seemed too tedious so I just replaced Lily with Stitches. I'll be able to get her back from a friend though!
Thank you for the thread it's really going to be helpful!
