[TUTORIAL] How to get your dream villagers faster

[Rosalie1991]

Good point, baroqueout. Its a good thing to make this guide for people which want to try it, I think this will help a lot of people

It was not my fault to say anything against the help!

I just want to make sure, after you've finished the setup with your new character and saved, can you directly start the game with your new character again and demolish their house, or do you need to go on your mayor's save file first before deleting the new character?

Yes you can delete the new character first, it won't change what's already been saved. There is no need to go through your mayor first.

The only thing about this trick is that you really need a lot of patience and luck. The rate of a camper showing up is not very high..

Thank you! I'm not really using it for the camper trick actually; I just convinced a villager from another town to move in and used this for their house placement. But they luckily put it in a good spot on the first try!

So I have to try this BEFORE playing with my mayor?

Yes xD
Every day the camper resets, so before playing your other characters you have to do this trick for it to work

Resetti should not show up

I've heard of this and I plan on doing this. But I thought there had to be someone there in the first place? This can be done on any day as long as you start with the new villager?

Yes, it can be done any day

 

[ForgottenT]

I just gave this a try now, sadly no one was in my camp! I'll try again tomorrow, thanks for structuring the trick step by step! It's less confusing ^ ^

Well the trick is that you can try unlimited times, just keep making new characters until a camper shows up
No problem

Excellent job! I've been using this tactic for awhile now, but I have yet to see a thread as in-depth as this one on the subject!

This is almost sticky-worthy. It's explained very well and I can see people asking this question time and time again.

Does anyone know if this can "force" a camper to show up? I've done this trick last weekend. The first time I loaded the game for the day with the new character I created, there was a camper's tent. I checked it out and reset. The next time I loaded the game, I created a new character, there was another tent, I checked it out. The camper was different, but not to my liking, so I reset again. The next three times I reset, there was no camper. Then there was a couple of restarts where there was a camper.

All told, in about twenty restarts, I had maybe six campers. My point is that the first game load of the day had a camper. If the first game load of the day does not have a camper, will one show up if I reset enough times? Or are there certain possible camping days and if the game isn't on one of those days, there will never be a tent that day no matter how many times you restart?

I have Pippy moving out on Saturday (if anyone's interested) and I plan on resetting for campsites on Sunday morning once she's gone. I'm just trying to find out if it's worth my time scouting for potential villagers if I load up the game with the new character and do not see a campsite the first time.

Every time I have done the trick it worked, so I doubt there?s any day where you can?t get a villager, I use this trick every time a villager just moved out, and it have worked wonders for me, I got my Favorite villager in a few tries, and yesterday I got Lolly after a few tries too ^^
but it is random when a camper shows up.
So yeah it?s all luck/patience, just keep resetting and eventually a good villager will show up.

Thanks!

Thank you, I didn't know about this! I'm going to try it as soon as a spot opens up in my town!

No problem, and good luck

 

[Violit]

Thanks for the advice! I never thought about doing this.

No problem, you should try it out

 

[Stevey Queen]

You can also use the trick to move them into a spot in town that's convenient for you.

I already mentioned that in the post
I even linked to the thread explaining it.

Not sure if this was answered yet or not, but when I tried this trick for getting the neighbors I wanted in my old town, nearly all of the villagers were either Uchi or Smug. Does this vary depending on the type of neighbors you already have in your town? Or. o.o

 

[ForgottenT]

Does this work when you haven't got any space for new villagers? Or does one of the other villagers need to be be moving out?

Just tried it today, and yes it works just fine, I met Vesta, a blue pig, a Mouse made of cheese, and some other one, still reseting, because I want Lolly?s house to be in the perfect spot ^^

I can?t confirm this since it haven?t happened to me, I have 3 Peppy, 2 normal, 2 Jocks, 2 Lazy, 1 Smug, and I still meet all kinds in the tent.

 

[Littlemyuu]

I will try this once I got my 10th villager out, then...
hope for Stitches!
