Sick villagers?

[Seastar]

I haven't played in a long time but I had this saved on my computer. I was very random with catchphrases, so this just sounds silly.
I'm going to miss this feature because of things like this.

I'd sometimes (very rarely) get other villagers telling me that someone's sick, I check their house and they're perfectly fine or playing outside this really was a cute feature, I hope it gets brought back.

Maybe the sick villagers somehow interfered with amiibo move-outs? Because sick villagers couldn't move? That's my guess. I don't think they'd remove a feature like that unless it broke the game.

That's the best explanation I've heard! Most likely this is the reason. A real pity, though... I've never played before the update and as such I'll never see a sick villager... sounds really cute, too.

Can someone explain to me how this event went? There were rumors that the villager was sick and then you'd go to their house and they'd be sick... what else?

I also have no sick villagers anymore. I did not noticed this untill this tread.

The other way is that I'd notice I hadn't seen a villager wandering around outside for awhile, so I'd go check on them, find them fallen ill, immediately feel guilty for not catching on sooner and take them medicine for three days. Once they got well, they'd send you a gift for taking care of them. Often enough, I'd forget to bring medicine on the second or third day and then feel guilty again for not taking care of them.

You'd go into a villager's house and they'd be doing the sad purple cloud emotion, or the shivering emotion. They would say a lot of lines about how awful they felt and how they had no energy to buy medicine. They would be happy when you gave them the medicine, but would remain sick for a day or two, I forget.

As you kept bringing them medicine they would get progressively better and more back to themselves. Finally, once they were all better they sent you a card with a gift thanking you for taking care of them. I'm pretty sure if you missed a day they would just send you a letter saying something like 'I thought I saw you in my fever-dream' or something. And if you missed their illness entirely they'd either say something to make you feel really guilty for having missed it or they would send a letter doing the same thing.

It was a fun if sometimes inconvenient event that gave the game an additional random element and helped with bonding with your villagers. I'm sad that they couldn't get it and the WA update to be compatible.
