[SOLVED] TTing 1 Year Ahead?

[HeyPatience]

So lately Ive been lazy with playing ACNL due to work being so busy and hectic. To avoid losing any of my dreamies Ive been using the technique of setting my DS clock back to the approximate time I had last played. However my game is 1 year behind, and I want to TT a year ahead, but Im worried of losing one of my villagers. If I use the DS clock to advance a year will I lose someone, or is there another way I can do this without losing anyone?

yeah... if you play day by day while catching up... whenever a villager pings that they want to move... say no and then you're free to time travel! (i think)

There is a way to TT a year ahead without losing someone. Just wait for someone to ask to move out and tell them no then no one will be able move out until you load up a new day.

I actually read that on Tumblr, but I wasn't sure if it was a thing or not. Im about ready to put it to the test since someone pinged me, and I told them not to move. Ill post my results!

The results are in! Nothing changed, except I got bed hair, but that's an easy fix!

This. It works for me. Anytime I want to take a break but want time to "continue" on normally, I wait until someone asks to move, deny their request. Next load up, even if it's "real" time, no one has moved. Good luck!

I skipped forward a year at a time and played my birthday(and a few days after, til I found a mover) til 2050. Of course then my birthday was ignored. Good thing it was my cycle town.

You're safe to TT til whenever as long as you save after someone pings and then TT. Even moving one day forward after a ping and then TTing might make you lose someone. You can have movers two days in a row.
