Anyone have any good TTing advice? My boyfriend let me use his copy as an extra town and I wanna do some TTing to try to get some dreamies of mine!
 
TT day by day. That's all the advice I can give~

Once you get your dreamies, talk to all of them several times a day to see if anyone's ever considering moving out.

Advice:
Accept that you might experience change that you strongly dislike, and that things might not turn out as you had hopped.

That too. TT'ing isn't for everyone.

Accept that you might experience changes that you strongly dislike, up to a point where you regret ever thinking about TT'ing.

Things may not turn out as you had hopped for. Villagers might leave without you knowing.

At the moment I am okay with that because I don't like any of his villagers any way. This is one of those towns if I royally screw up I don't mind resetting it.
 
That last part "Villagers might leave without you knowing" is completely untrue, as I gave advice on how not to have someone leave all of a sudden.
 
Ok. But there's also another side, new villagers putting their houses inside your flower fields. Your turnip prices will become low for a while and, if you didn't set Beautiful Town ordinance, weeds will grow and flowers will wilt. If you are okay with all of that feel free to experiment. :D

New villagers putting their houses inside flower fields? That can happen wether you TT or not. Your turnip prices will become low for a while? In the past versions of AC, yes, New Leaf? Nope. Nothing to say about the Beautiful Ordinance as that's left up to each individual.

Anyways, since arguments always arise when TT'ing is being discussed, I shall stop myself from commenting any further. v-v'
 
If you stop a person from moving, you can jump a long period of time right afterwards without anyone moving out. (I've jumped a month ahead and more using this method to regrow grass. It's def worked.)

But if you are cycling, talk to your villagers every day to see who is moving out. I usually follow this kind of guideline.

Villagers talk about repercussions of rumors and how you should see it for yourself before judging = no one is moving

Villagers mention someone is moving = said villager is thinking of moving.

Villagers will ask to move about every 2-3 days. Once someone asks to move, you have five days to stop or let them move out.
 
Didn't mean to start a fight between people :/

Like I said, I don't mind losing anyone or anything. I have no emotional attachment to this town. Already considered resetting once. Thanks for the advice :)
 
I think what you're intending to do is what I'm doing on my alt town. I TT day by day, as in see if Isabelle says anything about anyone moving, check the campsite and TT ahead to the next day and repeat. I can often make a camper appear again by TT'ing back or forwards and back again to the day I had a camper. Just like the trick for getting all Gracie checks done at once. It's not as infallible as Gracie, though. But it works pretty decently.
I don't have any villagers I want to keep in that town, so it's entirely irrelevant who moves out, except for the ones I do want to move out - so I can scoop them up with my main mayor.

Holy crap I did not know about the villagers talking about repercussion of rumors meant no moving. This is going to save me some time, thanks! Trying to figure out who's moving is not as painful now. uwu

Well, don't entirely trust that theory yet because I'm still testing it out. But in the time that I've been harassing my villagers, they do talk about certain kinds of rumors. Taken from the Animal Crossing wikia:

In addition to player rumors, villagers will also have rumors concerning them.

Cranky villagers will state that rumors can be frightening.
Jock villagers may ask to spread rumors about their latest world record, or complain that others say that they are a prince from another planet.
Normal villagers will comment that they will only spread rumors they have seen themselves.
Smug villagers may remark that they have done things with other villagers, but refuse to elaborate on the details.
Snooty villagers will use fabricated examples to show the player that simple rumors can spread very quickly.
Uchi villagers will complain that rumors are circulating that they are known for one sport, when it is in fact another.

Most of the time, you hear these kinds of rumors from villagers, but when I find out about someone is moving from another villager, they will only talk about the rumors of someone leaving instead of the village ones. I'm still trying to get more evidence for this method however. But it is the guideline that I follow along with talking to villagers a lot 2-3 days after the last person asked to move.
