[TUTORIAL] How to get your dream villagers faster

If you demolish your player's house, do you get a patch of dead grass where the house was?
 
Sorry if this was answered already, but how is creating a new character different than using one already made?

I'm just curious :D

Nevermind, I figured it out already XP
 
Thanks so much for the detailed walk through. I never understood this.

Will you always have a camper on the same day?

Say I made a new character, and somebody was in my campsite, if I didn't like them and reset the game, and made a new character again, would it be that I'd still have a camper, just a different one?

It?s random, a camper might be there, or might not, I heard that some days have bigger chances than others.

Not necessarily. One scouting journey may encounter a camper, while a reset my yield no camper. Just keep trying. You'll likely find that some days you'll get a lot of campers upon each reset, but other days, you'll get fewer campers. Keep in mind that if you get no camper on your first try, doesn't mean you won't get a camper the next try. It's all a matter of how patient you are and how much time you have to keep pressing the A button during the Rover sequence on the train--it can get very boring. However, the reward can be worth it. I spent a good couple of hours looking for Merengue in my campsite and I finally found her and now she's a villager.
 
AHHH omg okay so I was doing the trick for a camper and I wasn't getting any so I went on my main character and TT a day and see a plot set up in the worst possible spot for the worst possible villager. If I go back in time to 5:55 on the same day and open with a new character will it move the spot?

Nevermind I TT'd back to 5:55 and he's already moved in. Actually so upset. I dont understand. So every day I should start with my mayor character and TT to 5:55 and save then open with a new character? Also does anyone want Rocket?

No, the first thing you do is to make new characters, don?t play on any existing characters.
If you go to a day with your mayor or an existing character it will automatically save.

Only do the TT to 5:55 to start a new day.

I've tried this a couple times, still no campers. I'm worried I'm doing something wrong...
 
so do this on a day that I have a camper right?

why do I have to delete the new character I make? that would take soo long to keep making them again and again.
 
ill have to try this when one of my villagers decides to move after a billion years >.>

the only way to get a random camper is for it be a "fresh day" and the only way to farm the same day as if it is a fresh day is to create a new character. Every day the game rolls a die and decides what will spawn. Flowers, campers, mushrooms, retail premiums, etc. Once it is chosen its final. UNLESS you use a new character. Only thing is it is a very annoying process to start a new character so you have to be really determined to do this

/edit

forgot to mention, you can not check the campsite on your characters before trying this. it has to be this first on a new day. to make it a new day without starting the game you can change your 3ds clock

i was doing this yesterday for about 2 hours. what i discovered was some days are more likely to produce campers than others (for example, i did this for the 6th and 8th august and got more campers than normal). however after about 10-12 resets for a specific date, i eventually stopped getting campers... but i'm not sure if it was just a long long spell without campers.

i was wondering, since the new characters is not 'saved', does that mean the game doesn't keep track which characters you did get versus which ones you didn't? i thought that the game goes through all 330 characters before going back to the start. however i got some campers twice (ugly ones, like boone and peck... haha no offense). i was hoping that once i got some ugly ones i would never have them camp again... :/

Like you said, the game isn't being saved so it doesn't know that you already had certain villagers. Either way, it's still possible to get villagers twice. I had Rose in my camp once. While resetting my game today (I did this a lot to move the house location of a new villager) I had Rosie again (the day I had Rosie previously I saved).
 
My question is, once I make a new character, start the game and say I get a good camper, after I go through everything with my new character, does demolishing my house mean I'm actually ruining my house, or just the characters house? And will my villagers talk about the new character as though they moved, later on? Or will the character I made just be gone as if I never made it?

It means that you remove the character and the house.
it will be gone as if it was never made.
