hi everyone! i'm Tab. i recently restarted my ACNL game after not playing for nearly 2 years. i've never participated in any kind of animal crossing online community before so i'm hoping to enjoy my time here.

that said, i was wondering if i could get some help. i'm really hoping to achieve something special - i want to get Mitzi to move into my new town. long story short: she was one of my original villages in my copy of ACWW... which i got for christmas in 2005 at the young age of 10. i had her in my town for 9 years, from 2005 to 2013, when a mistake on my boyfriend's end led to her inevitably moving out. fortunately ACNL was released soon after this tragic mistake, so i was able to invest my time in that and forget about my loss, but... i'd love to have her back again. since i'm new to trading/gifting/etc., it would be great if i could be sent to the right place/right person or whatever.

thank you so much for even reading this, haha
 
Well, you should probably go to the Villager trading plaza here and ask for her or look for someone to be selling/trading/giving away her.

If you want my advice, I would use the resett plot trick if you don't have a normal villager and haven't got all your 9 villagers.

Hope it helps.
 
HI there, welcome to the forums! Now, I really suck at explaining things, but I'll try to help you the best I can.

When somebody is looking for a villager, they'll post here: http://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?112564-The-Official-Looking-for-Trading-Buying-Thread. Whenever you're looking for a villager, always post there. Making a separate thread somewhere else will always result in that thread being locked.

If somebody who has Mitzi sees your post, they might contact you, by either leaving you a message on your profile (otherwise known as a VM, a visitor message), or they'll send you a private message, which you'll receive in your inbox. Now, if you're lucky, the person might give you Mitzi for free. But usually people on here either look for IGB (in-game bells) or TBT (this forums currency, which you earn by posting and being active on the forums) in exchange. I can't really give you an estimate as to how much she'd cost, however.

Another way to inform people you're looking for Mitzi is to put it in your signature (the place where you currently have 'dreams' written). That way, when you post around the forums, doing whatever, people will see your signature and become aware that you're looking for Mitzi.

Also, the link I provided for you is posted in the villager trading plaza. There, you'll find a bunch of cycling threads. Cycling threads are from people who have copies of acnl with the full intention of moving villagers in and out. Some people give villagers away for free in their cycling thread, but others have set prices, so if they ever come across Mitzi, they'd already have a price set out for her, so you could get an estimate on to how much she'd cost. Also, most cycling threads allow lurkers. Which means if you left a comment on one of the cycling threads, asking to lurk for Mitzi, they'd add you to a list and if she were to ever move in, you would be sent a message.

So, long story short, the villager trading plaza is the best place to look when looking for Mitzi. But as I already mentioned, stick to asking to lurk for her in the cycling threads, or post about her in the thread I linked you to. Posting a separate thread of your own asking will her will only result in the thread being locked.

Also, if you check out a cycling thread that has set prices for their villagers, you may see the prices listed as this:

Tier 1: -insert price here-
Tier 2: -insert price here-
Tier 3: -insert price here-
Tier 4: -insert price here-
Tier 5: -insert price here- (although typically these guys are given away for free)

So, obviously the tiers won't actually have -insert price here- next to them. The tiers come from this guide: http://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?354714-Villager-Popularity-List It's basically a popularity guide. Tier 1s are the most popular, with tier 5s being the most unpopular. It's based off of how often a villager is looked for, usually. Mitzi is currently in Tier 2, which means if a cycling thread has a set price for tier 2 villagers, then that's what you're looking at. But, keep in mind that prices may vary from cycling thread to cycling thread. But really, your best bet is to just look at any and all of the active cycling threads there that give villagers away for free. Also, some people who don't own cycling threads and aren't apart of them may post about villagers moving out, so keep an eye out for that, as someone may post about Mitzi one day.

And also, when the time comes for you to get Mitzi, in order to get her to move into your town, you must have less than 10 villagers. Nobody can be moving out when you go to get her, and nobody can be moving in. When you go to get her, go into her house. She should be in boxes. She can only be convinced to move in when she's moving, and in boxes. Talk to her. She'll talk about how she's moving, and how she has nowhere to go. If all goes well, an option should pop up where you can tell her to move into your town. And if everything's good, she'll agree and her plot will appear in your town the next day.

From this point, not sure how much more information I can tell you, considering this post is already extremely long. But I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask c:
 
Welcome back to animal crossing! Since coming to this forum I have had a whole new perspective on animal crossing. I hope you learn lots of new stuff too!
 
Remember we are going to get the (free) update to acnl in November this year - which will (if current info is correct) will allow you to bring in a villager from its amiibo card

- given who is in the packs is random, its no mean feat in itself to get the villager you want - but it is a another way of getting Mitzi/an other villager.
You can trade for a particular amiibo card or buy via say ebay.

(Scroll down a little for info on acnl, 3rd one down)

Worth keeping in mind, particularly with popular so called tier one villagers
