The precision of villager plot-resetting

I'm thinking it only applies to when villagers move in. In the screenshot, you see some acres of land with 4 building centers in it, so I'm guessing that when you build PWP or character homes, as long as they meet the spacing requirement, then you are allowed to build. But if one of the villagers in the acre moves out, then the next villager that tries to move in won't be able to move into this acre
Wait there are no acres with 4 building centers in it though :c
The only two are examples of villager houses that can't move in (marked with A and C)

omg so many questions XDD thank you for asking!
as long as you can fit your house (all the space requirements are met), you can place your house in that area. that's why if you look at Case A, there are four red dots (centers) in one acre. (two villagers, cafe, and possibly the police station)
If there are, the chances are extremely slim.. I have tested 4 towns and so far, none have violated this rule
good luck <3 grizzly keeps plotting his house in only 3 areas in my town lol probably because i put a whole bunch of pwps to block villagers from moving to that spot XD
I saved the picture from a tumblr post on my dash 5 months ago, then studied it before posting it here
can't really say for sure, I'm guessing this came from a Japanese ACNL magazine o.o

I've been plot resetting for three hours now and I was just about to give up on the spot I wanted but this just gave me hopesince the acre only has one villager in it so far hehehe

In the 2nd row, the 2nd and 3rd cell seem to have 4 buildings (unless I'm reading the picture wrong!)
The 2nd cell has 3 villager's homes + a PWP, and the 3rd cell has 2 villagers home, 1 PWP, and a player house in that acre!

Aw man! Thank you for this finding though! Otherwise I would have been resetting forever thinking that I was just being unlucky (even though I was already skeptical since I've been plot resetting for two days and it never appeared in that area...) I knew it was a bad idea to try to surround the planned spot with PWPs to guarantee that he moves into that spot xD.
pwp's don't count as permanent buildings! xD
only buildings with a red center dot count (villager house, player house, and permanent buildings uvu)
the pwp's that count as a permanent building is the police station, campsite, and resetti center.
for instance, if you start a new character, you're allowed to build your house on top of a pwp and the pwp will be removed (although villagers can't do this).

edited the OP tl;dr part, i have forgotten to mention that if there are already 3 permanent buildings in 1 acre, no villagers more will move into that same acre. however, you are allowed to put 1 or 2 more PWP buildings as long as it fits the space requirements.

omg... Ragdoll can you confirm this? If this is true then I do have a chance! (I only have one villager home and 2 fountains in this acre atm)

answered and said i don't really know, i am guessing this came from a Japanese ACNL magazine/article so it's missing another page/part >~< sorry!!
Paty I am 100% sure that pwps do not count as permanent buildings. xD
In her first post, she wrote "More specifically, the "centers" (red dots) of any three of those buildings is the most that can be allowed in any acre."
PWP's aren't marked with a red dot
I hope you get your villagers in the right spot haha.

comfirmed that it's true ^.^ PWPs don't count as buildings, they can be demolished whereas PWP buildings cannot c:
Oops! I didn't see your post, sorry uvu
But thanks for all the useful information, it's really great!

Hmmm if any of you can read japanese, maybe this post will answer our mystery B section? http://privespa.org/tobimori/diary20130415.html Translating the page didn't make any sense to me at all, but B is mentioned twice in this !

Okay, I got it.
The author posted this image too:
And talked about Vladimir moving into location B.
(if you compare the PWP blocks in the map and the picture, this is definitely spot B)
(If you read the translated text, it says Gabi, which is Vlad's japanese name)
They talked about how although space A and C were open, he could not move into those spots due to 3 existing buildings in those acres, and was forced to move into B no matter what. ("it was inevitable and not an accident")
edit: in other words, B is not an off-limit location, but rather the only location that Vlad could move in.
