Second villagers

[Autumnia]

Today I for the first time started a second save file for my town because Redd was in town and he had two genuine statutes that I didn't have in my museum and I thought maybe if I had a second villager they could buy it and it worked!!
So, I was wondering what other perks are there to having a second villager? And how often do you play with your second villagers?

It's like an extra space for patterns and stuff like that.

I only play with mines when I get really bored of the other one.

Second villagers can hold patterns, too. Like, path or dress patterns. If you have a 2-wide path with corners, you will likely need a second file to hold all of the path patterns. I personally don't play my 2nd file much, but it's handy for storage.

Can you get more mannequins and things like that with the second villager?

 

[vodkasmizmar]

Yep, you can. Each player can get up to 4 mannequins, but can't be traded. I am working on getting my 3rd mannequin for my 2nd character.

I only used my second character for storage purposes in my old town, but I didn't want her house to be boring so I gave it a theme<3

I finished decorating my first house, so it was fun thinking of ideas for a second house. I ended up turning it into a hotel for my town.

1) extra storage
2) more housing themes to try out
3) getting rid of unwanted villagers

I have 3 characters and they stop me getting too bored as my town is pretty much finished. Having boy and girl characters gets you different responses from your villagers and you can always try and finish their catalogs or encyclopedias etc
