Sad over villagers leaving?

[Cherry Tree]

When I started the game I got Diva and Mott as my start up villagers. Over time different villagers asked to move but I made them stay . I decided though that the next one to ask I would let go so I can get new villagers.....for me though Diva was the next one to ask. Even though I didnt really like her at first I changed my mind and I felt a sadness especially seeing her all packed up. Not sure where I'm going with this but just had to say it somewhere. Today I've found the new villager Hamphrey and he will be coming tomorrow

I had the same feelings when letting go of my original 2 - Buck and Phoebe! I didn’t reroll at the beginning of the game and I really grew to like the both of them. Later on I adopted a different Buck but it just wasn’t the same anymore, so I let him go

I get what you were trying to say, sometimes you wanna get villagers out ASAP so you can get some new ones in, but villagers moving out is usually always ends up being at least a little bit sad when the time finally comes (except for a select few certain villagers >.>). I like to think of it as them leaving for another island so they can make someone else happy instead, and I know a lot of people throw little going away parties through harv's island, or even write going away letters to them.

I'm sure you'll be much happier when hamphrey arrives at your island tommorow though, interacting with brand new villagers and decorating around their houses has always been so much fun to me.

My two starters, for a Jock and Uchi, were Teddy and Katt. The three who came afterward were Normal Nan, Lazy Erik, and Peppy Bonbon.

Teddy and Erik are still present.

But I will be letting them go.

The generic houses they each have feels very unrewarding. And I like these islanders.

I am not going to feel sorry to let go of islanders because, unlike “New Leaf,” it is more expensive to set up numerous islands. So, I have a different mindframe. I intend to make a point of keeping islanders who are personal favorites—and then let others come and go.

No matter who the villager is and how much I dislike them, to see them in boxes ready to leave makes me feel sad or even a little guilty at times. I've definitely felt the pangs of regret after letting some go!

Still, I don't let that sadness preclude me from enjoying the company of whoever moves in next!

I didnt realise how their little goodbyes the day they are packing would make me sad...apart from the fact she did say that it hadn't always been fun but mostly . Still love her though.

Whoever I found next I was going to try and get them to move in. I feel like the villagers that appear are the ones your meant to have at that time . I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like this.

I was sad when I told Antonio to leave cause he was a starter and I never got his picture, but I did need some change around the town so a new neighbor would be nice

I wish they would eventually upgrade to their normal houses though

I haven't got the photo either but I just want the chance to explore different characters as alot of mine have the same hobbies.

I get especially sad when villagers that I don’t want to leave ask to! It makes me feel like they don’t want to be in my island and that I’m forcing them to stay haha!

Especially how I'm sure she was classed as one of my close friends on there

I've had bittersweet goodbyes before. Like, I had Graham for awhile, and while some people hate him (IDK why), I really liked him. But, then I got Julian, and I like him more, and I didn't want two smug villagers... so, when Graham asked to move, I let him go. It was a little sad to see him go, but I don't want to hang on to villagers I'm hesitant about keeping when I could be looking for villagers I really want!

Right now I'm debating whether or not I wanna let Chevre go... I'll probably let her go if she asks but, at the same time, she IS a cutie and I have memories with her from... WW, I think? Plus, her house next to Julian's is PERFECT. And I'm unsure about Freya- again, I'll let her go if she asks, but she's grown on me... and she and Dobie seem pretty tight, so he might be disappointed if she leaves!

I have that bond between Tex and Ozzie. Found them both just running round the plaza the other day and it was the sweetest thing . I dont think I would let either of them go just for that reason

So true
It feels weird to say “no stay here” like I’m not gonna be the one to control their life lol

I always feel a little sad when villagers move out, but I was really really sad to see my starter jock, Kid Cat, go! I wasn't really into him at first, and was initially just happy he wasn't someone I didn't like such as Peck or Stinky. But overtime I actually grew to like him a lot I decided to let him move out after all so that I could get other villagers I wanted and also because I didn't like his starter home heehee, but I made sure he went to a loving home.

My sister on the other hand, gets super attached to all her villagers and has only ever had one person move out from her town ever, which was Tom who she gave to me.

You have pretty much done what I've done then

All our villagers so far are forever residents in this game. The only one to move out so far was Flora and we were ok with that cause she went to a friend's island who absolutely loves flamingoes and had been trying to find her.

New Leaf was a different story.

Olaf and Bunnie left cause I took a hiatus from the game two separate times and either forgot they were thinking of moving or left cause of how long I was away from them.

Hippeux moved out from being a casualty of time travel sadly.

Phil was ready to move in from the camp site, but when I time travelled the next day to get him right away into the spot of town I had spent my afternoon readying for him, it seemed I forgot to put designs over a section and instead he wedged his house between Coach's and the beach cliff by the waterfall, taking out Coach's yard and be way to close to do anything with. So sadly I had to force move him out.

 

[Duckling]

It was the same when I moved out Muffy! She was one of my starters but I never really vibed with her (I don’t like purple or her “goth” or spooky look or whatever) so I accepted when Vivian asked to kick her out (campsite villager). I don’t really regret doing it, as I’m glad she’s off my island, but I did fee a little sad as she ended up being voided haha

I did cry a little bit when I finally led my two original villagers go, specially because I spent like two months with them.

Aww bless you

I still have my first two villagers. I wanted to make sure I got their photos before they moved out and since I got their photos they haven't asked to move out yet.
I'm going to be sad when they do end up moving out. I loved Fuchsia right away and Coach grew on my so quickly and now I love him too. It'll be sad to see them go.
