What will happen if I TT backwards like 2 months? I got a bit carried away with TTing lately and I ended up so far forward and I'd like to go back to the proper date but I'm mosly worried about my villagers moving away and my trees/bamboo dying. Should I do it in one go or gradually? And if gradually, how many days at a time?
TTing backwards?
- Thread starter xoeffy
- Start date
Trees don't die (I don't know 'bout bamboo since I don't have any 
), but it's still a lil risky to TT that far back all at once.
TTing back a day or two at a time may be a lil tedious.. maybe you could do it 4-5? Maybe even a week at most?

This. I heard that time traveling back more than 7 days can kill your turnips.
If I were you I'd just go ahead and time travel back to the two months date. Just talk to all of your villagers before you do it. I used to time travel back and forth by months in Wild World and I always did this, none of them ever left.
Also, I don't think your trees or bamboo will die if you change the time

If you are concerned about losing villagers, go gradually. Villagers can leave within a two-month time travel even if you're going backwards--those still count as days. Go a few days at a time and make sure you walk in front of villagers you don't want to move to see if the move urge is triggered. There is always a risk of losing villagers when time traveling, so take it slow. From experience, the only thing I see that could prevent unwanted moving is if you time travel while having only eight villagers. I could be wrong, but nobody asks to leave if you have only eight villagers. TTing in huge leaps (forward or backward) messes up your hairdo and you'll get an unexpected ninth villager, but I don't think you'll lose anyone. Still, better to go gradually if you have a must-not-lose villager.

Is that so? It could be, but I don't know. I've lost villagers unexpectedly while TTing, but I'm not sure if I lost them on the forward leap, or the backward leap. I have had days when a new plot shows up in town and then I'll go back several days. When I load the town, Isabelle tells me someone new has just moved in and wouldn't it be nice to go say hello--as if it had been only one day. I'd need to experiment more, keeping that in mind, but my experimental town now has too many villagers I don't want to lose (either I want to keep the villagers or I've promised them to other players).
That actually kind of scares me ._.

I'd really like to try that, but I'm too paranoid about losing villagers in the time warp.
All I know is that I've time traveled backwards when Drift was moving out. I TTed back several days and he went from telling me '*sigh* 4 days until I move' to only '*sigh* 3 days until I move'.
