[TUTORIAL] How to get your dream villagers faster

[Ery]

Sorry to sound rude, but why did you start another thread just to re-iterate what was already tested and proved?
You could have just added information to the original thread and we could have that stickied instead, to prevent cluttered and repeated threads.
Also the randomness of the camper makes it better/easier to control your villagers when you're having them move in instead of convincing them from camping.

1. His thread/post does not even mention campers, it?s dedicated to Control where houses appear.
2. I made this guide for people who don?t know how to do it, and explain it in an easy step by step.
3. You need to have a friend who have the villager move out then, it?s not easier, it requires planning, and luck, with this you can get the villagers by yourself, and do it everyday.

Actually the original thread doesn't require you to have a friend to have the villager move out. I don't recall it mentioning that at all anyway.
If people don't know how to do it, as i mentioned, we should be requesting for the original thread to be stickied instead of starting more and more threads on this subject, and that thread is generally on the front page anyway.
And for the camping thing, it does mention it, but like I said, instead of starting a brand new thread, (which creates thread clutter) you could just add this information onto the previous original thread, and have all of the information compiled in one stickied master post, instead of spread across a couple of threads.
I really wish you read what i said instead of just tried to argue^^;

Edit: I'd like to add, the camper thing is mentioned by several other people, just not posted in the main first post, maybe you didn't see it. Which is why you should take your information and post it there so it can all be compiled in a nice neat single post.

No, but the villagers and location changes, which makes it harder, and near impossible, it?s easier when it?s split up, choose the villager, and then where it moves in, and yes I?m one of the persons who mentioned campers in the thread, but it?s not in the main thread, people who are looking for this kind of information, won?t go to a thread called Control Where Houses Appear, if they?re looking for how to get villagers they want faster, this thread is to let people get aware that it?s possible, I see a lot of people who don?t know about this, and this will obviously help them.
There?s not really anything to discuss, because the threads are not even dedicated to the same things, his is dedicated to control where houses appear, this is dedicated to how to get the villagers you want.
I even linked to his thread because people might want more information on how to control where the houses appear after they get them from the camp.

Actually, his thread also helps you with getting the villagers that you want... as the house location and villager that is moving in changes every time. With his thread, you also don't need to reset as much because a plot will show up every time. But with your method you could reset 50 times and not find anything (as has already been demonstrated by others...) I won't post anything else other than this, but Ery is right. It would have been more beneficial to have added this to his post.

The main point of the other thread is to also control which AND where villagers will appear. so not only can you control where they might go, but which villager you'll be getting. That's like the main point of it lol. You start the game as a new character and reset/whatnot till you get a villager you like, except it's much more controlled because the game gives you a personality type. so instead of resetting for 300 or so campers, you're getting a much better/limited list and can better decide which villager you'll be resetting for. If you read pocky's post, she's clearly controlling which villager she gets, not where the villager is.

i just feel like you're reiterating information instead of taking the time to actually read the thread, and instead of working with people about it, you're trying to go off and do your own thing, using information that's already been posted. :\

And if you want to be real technical, yes, the post about the campers IS in the main thread. It's just not on the first post.
Which brings me back to my original point, it'd be much less cluttered if you worked with the original thread poster and have all the information combined into a big master post that everyone can look at for different techniques, instead of having everyone have to surf around several different threads for similar information. That's all.

If it was in his post, I would not have made this thread, but it?s not, also as we both mentioned the location and the villager changes, which makes it pretty much impossible to get the villager you want and a good location.
did you even read what I said?
you will have to reset more, because when you finally get the villager it would most likely be in a bad spot, and then you will have to reset to get him again, which would take forever, and he might be in a bad spot again when you finally get him, it?s easier when it?s split up, this is just another way of doing it, I prefer this way, that?s why I made the thread to tell people about it.
Also you should probably read the comment you quoted...

Can you seriously not ask someone if they read what you've said, when you've been completely incapable of reading what anyone has said, or even reading the original thread in the first place?
and really don't tell me you've read anything, when you've missed several points that both of us have made, and you obviously didn't really read into the original post to begin with. If you had bothered to really read it, you'd know that the original doesn't just have to do with controlling where they move.

Oh. I did read

The other method is easier in that...

There are roughly 330 villagers. Some users in this thread have already said that they've reset like 50 times and only gotten campers 4 of those times. At that rate you could reset 4000 times just to get what you want... Granted that it takes around 5 minutes to create a character, it could take 300+ hours of resetting to find something that you like.

At most, it takes me 3 hours to get the villager that I like using the other method. In those 300+ hours that someone could have spent using your method, they might have been able to find their dream villager 100 different times in 100 different locations.

 

[Gladtobemom]

Yep, tried it . . . got CamoFrog on 4th try(looking for crankies and Lazies

Also really want Kabuki, Drago and Genji .. . sigh.

Can't seem to get Roscoe, Kidd, and Erik to MOVE.

 

[BellGreen]

I think it's convenient to have separate threads. The original one was a bit crowded actually.

I think I'm going to try this soon as soon as some of my animals move out.

 

[Feraligator]

I find this thread very helpful.
But I have no more room! ;_;
Bye bye to an offer for Butch!
(I wish that ugly Flo would move out already!)

It only takes like 1 minute to make a new character lol, you don?t have to come up with a name for it every time
It?s all about luck you might get the villager in the first try, but with the other method you have to get a good location at the same time, which can be a pain.
I can understand where you come from, but I still prefer this tactic, just my opinion, it?s not like you have to use it or anything. I personally have had good luck using this so far.
Yesterday I resetted like 100 times, just to get a good location for Lolly, I met tons of villagers in the tent, sadly Lolly is my tenth villager so I could not get any of them , but if I had tried to get a villager that I liked and a good spot it would have been pretty much impossible since she kept wanting to live in bad spots, but I guess if you put public work projects everywhere except where you want them, then you could do it much faster with the other tactic, I might actually do that someday, now that I think about it, but I will keep using this for the time being ^^

Everyone, please don?t start anymore discussions on here, I won?t respond to them, I would advice other people just to ignore anyone who does it too, I don?t want this thread to become that, I want it to be as organised as possible, please understand that I did not make this thread to harm anyone, and I have nothing against AoJones: http://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?68222-quot-Controlling-quot-where-houses-appear
In fact I have had that thread bookmarked since I saw it the first time, you should all go take a look at it.
And yes I would want that thread to get sticky, but that?s no reason for not creating this thread which helps people find the information.

Could you, in theory, TT to the next day on your main character and find a camper, then TT back to 5:50 the previous day, save and quit on the main character, and still be able to do the trick?
Like let's say it was Sunday. You TT on your main character to Monday, see a camper, save and quit. Then TT back to Sunday at 5:50 (enough time to save and quit on that character and start a new one before 6:00) and when the new day starts on Monday, still see campers?

The only reason I ask is that I usually TT one day forward or one day back when I find campers (If I don't like them) and can still
do it for four different tents.

 

[Gizmodo]

If a camper doesn't appear on one day, when you reset, just save and then that day is locked in, and try on another day
no point resetting for one day..
Then the next day try again, eventually you might reach the end of the week and more campers will appear, as one needs to appear each week

That should work just fine.

 

[MyLifeIsCake]

Oh ok, thanks. I'll try it next time I see a camper, which is like, never in my town Xo

IKR? Zell is moving out in 2 days! Move out already!

has anyone claimed zell? O: I LOVE HIM!

edit: I came back to this post and noticed from your sig that he's reserved. Sorry ^~^

 

[Ryuuko Matoi]

No it isn't. "Bad villagers" are 100% subjective and even then your "bad" ones can move out on their own eventually and get replaced with someone who might be "good". Your logic is flawed no matter how you flip the coin.

i agree with attribule, its part of the game to play however you want with whatever you want, you payed for it after all
