Trick To Transfer Thought Bubble

[Bk1234]

I saw this trick in a YouTube video (I think it was TagBackTV). Olaf asked to move out, I pressed the home button and exited before the dialogue finished. Did I do it right? Will someone new have a thought bubble tomorrow?

 

[ForgottenT]

Yes.

 

[Fisher]

Yeah if you exit out of the game before the game can save having the moving out conversation, then the bubble has a chance of moving to a new villager the next day.

Also talk to Tom Nook and tell him you want to move Olaf’s house, and then cancel the move. Doing this supposedly makes the move out bubble not be on Olaf and move to a new villager the next day. It worked for me anyway.

When does the game save the conversation?

 

[Fye]

Yup, but you don't have to talk to the villager with the moving out bubble. The moment you see the bubble over a villager you don't want to move out you can go ahead and exit the game and TT one day forward

 

[Fisher]

When does the game save the conversation?

The game saves every 3 minutes I believe, but if you exited the game before convo with Olaf ended your good.

Ok, good. That's what I did. Will Olaf still have the bubble if I load it back up?

 

[Fisher]

Ok, good. That's what I did. Is Olaf supposed to still have the bubble if I load it back up?

Yeah he should, just make sure to ignore him rest of the day then it should move to a new villager tomorrow.

Why didn't I see this yesterday?
I've been waiting so long for someone to want to move and then it was Kiki and I was like, no, not you. Will I be waiting another 15 days or something now?

 

[Bk1234]

Yeah he should, just make sure to ignore him rest of the day then it should move to a new villager tomorrow.

Right now he's sitting down and has no thought bubble. Is that normal?

I think it's less since you said no, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Tomorrow I'll see if it works.

My only worry with exiting the game this way is that won't I risk corrupting my save data?
Also, I talk to my villagers a lot so like 90% of the time thought bubbles have nothing to do with moving.
Like today I had a move out request from Henry and it happened so late into me playing that I had no clue it would even be a move-ut request.

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't autosave, till the conversation is over. Also, there will always be a random villager who wants to move, every 15 or so days.

@Fisher I just loaded back in and he has a thought bubble. I guess it was just cause he was sitting.

 

[Fisher]

Yeah sometimes takes them a little bit to get the move out bubble back if they’re sitting or doing stuff outside.

Should be like 5-7 days until someone asks to move out again since you told Kiki no, based on my experience.

I've been testing this today, if you see the thought bubble within the first 1 minute 30 of firing up the game, you can reset via the home screen and go back in immediately and the thought bubble will transfer. You just have to get the reset in before the game does its first autosave (I timed it and it could be anything from 1:30 to 3 minutes.)

However I will add if you are trying to get the bubble to go to one villager in particular it might take a long time doing it this way, so I don't recommend grinding at this for hours on end unless you're really patient.

I don't think you even need to talk to the villager to transfer the thought bubble, as soon as you see the thought bubble on a villager that you don't want, you should be able to just hop a day and the bubble will transfer to someone else!

 

[Bk1234]

Ugh... I really want to time travel, but... I won't, I'll be patient.

Is worth talking to them just to find out if the thought bubble is about moving away or if they just want you to get them a bug or something. But if it is a villager who you want to stay is asking to move away, hit close via the home screen before ending the conversation to void the fact that you talked to them. The next day, the bubble will transfer to a different villager. But I think (and i could be wrong here) ONLY if the previous bubble was never answered at all with either a yes or a no (if that makes sense)

No, so long as the saving icon isn't showing in the top corner, there's no risk of corruption. The Switch and the game itself are built to be portable. Most of us are playing at home 'cause of COVID-19, but if that wasn't the case we'd be playing it on the bus and so on. A game like this must be able to withstand sudden unexpected shutdown due to a (normally) high risk of power depletion/failure

i wish i knew this trick for the last 4 times that my dream villagers asked to move out lmao

Really depends on if you are hardcore time travelling to move out. If you are time travelling a bunch, the thought bubble will never be about anything but moving from my experience. They can only get the thought bubble for other stuff if you actually interact with them daily.

This is what I thought.
But then I tried it and got bug requests.

Could be because I was trying to get a 2-in-1 and water the black roses daily as well.
