Villager reset trick?

[Hypno KK]

I have some questions about the villager reset trick (the one where if you're down to 8 villagers, the next move-in will be of a personality you don't already have, or if you have one of each, it'll be random).

The guide I read stated that the villager of the personality I'm trying to get can't have moved out recently. Does this mean being the last one to move out? If I move out that villager and then move out another one (so that I'm down to 8), it'll only count the last move out, right?

I'm also wondering what happens if you have two missing personalities in your town. Does the personality of the move-in change with each reset or do you get locked into one of the two at random? I'm already missing one personality and if I move out the villager of the personality I want to change, I'll be missing two. How does the game choose one?

Thanks for replying.

I don't think it guarantees that you'll get that missing personality, you simply will have a higher chance of that type moving in. I know I read this somewhere...

I don't know about the first one, but hopefully someone helps you on that part.

from what I have experience it doesn't reset. when I had 8 villagers and I was missing a certain personality the game gave me up to 5 different villagers from that same personality and if I didn't pick one the game would stop giving me a move in and I would have to wait 3 days later for the same personality or a extra random personality move in to appear.

but basically the game will give you a villager whose personality you don't have.

Thanks. Is the new personality locked in? I don't mind resetting a few times if there's a higher chance of that type moving in, but I don't want to accidentally end up stuck with one of the missing personalities that isn't the one I want to change.

About the first part of your post, thanks, that really helps. I don't mind waiting the few extra days since I'd be TTing anyway.

I know the game will give you a villager of a personality you don't have or make that personality more likely, but I'm asking about what happens when you're missing two personalities.

You only get one personality choice per day. That's it. You should get at least 10 different choices.



If you don't like your choices then time travel ahead 1 day on your system settings and you'll get more choices.

Thank you so much! This helps a lot.
