Okay, so I have a voided villager I've been trying to get rid of for MONTHS (real life and in-game/I TT as well), and I just can't get him to move out!!! And it's driving me crazy to the point I wanna quit playing :( I have 10 villagers, 9 dreamies, and it's so risky for me to TT, and I've been TT'ing for 3 months in real life and about 9 months in-game. I try to be careful so I don't TT out my dreamies. However, everyone else has asked to move but this damn voided villager. :mad: I looked up tricks to moving out move-in villagers, and I've been doing those tricks even before I got this voided villager, I TT out a lot and never have this problem unless they are from void. And now I got a hold of my last dreamy so many times and never actually got them because I just can't get rid of this freaking lame ass voided villager. :mad: And so yeah, any tips? :(

I talked to him first day he moved in, and never talked to him again. I heard this was the best way as it puts them in the category: to be friends (talking to them a lot as if I fricking like them), neutral (talk first day, ignore until hear rumors that they're planning to move-- which is what I usually do and never had a problem), or to be enemies (hitting with nets, pushing, etc.) And so yeah, I put them in the "neutral" category, usually the villager pings me about moving in like a week, but not with this one. And like I said, everyone else has asked to move. I thought if the rest/9 villagers ask to move, the 10th will ask as well? Or what? Should I just start talking to this damn villager? Befriends with him like normal? Ugh, I wasted 3 months of my life :mad:

If anyone can explain or help me with this, thank you so much!




I asked this on "Ask AC: NL Questions here!" thread and Ras kindly answered me:
Someone started a 10th villager guide where they claimed a voided villager will never leave until you move someone else out and someone else in. I can't say that's absolutely true, but I got Mott from visiting someone who voided him, and he never asked to move until months later when I let some others go. He never asked for a catchphrase, either, even though I talked to him all the time. I think voided villagers are emotionally damaged and cling to their new towns with a death grip. We don't know what the void's like, or maybe we'd understand.

And I would like to get a confirmation? I have read something familiar to this before, but it's still better to get an actual explanation before I move on and move out one of my dreamies from the 9 I have. And not many people really check that thread tbh, so I'm sorry for making this thread. :[

Also, thank you so much again Ras for always always answering my questions. And I hope someone can confirm or explain it to me clearly, please. Thank you!
 
From what I know, these are the methods I have tried, although I did not have 100% success with them.

1. Introducing yourself then ignore
I did this with Rocco on my main character. Introduced myself when he moved in with boxes, then I did not talk to him. I can't remember if I TT'ed during that week, so I think that might affect the method?

2. Two days forward and two days back
I used this method to try and get Rosie out as soon as I can. This method will guarantee one of your current villagers wanting to leave. Unless you TT 2 days ahead to an event day (I TT'ed 2 days forward and back to Festivale I facepalm'd so much). Takes a long time, and you'd have to find the villager which will move...

3. Befriending them
Since the game wants to move the villagers you like the most, try and befriend the hated villager (bear with them). May take some time depending on how much you try and be friends with them. I suggest talking to them everyday, send them a letter with a perfect fruit, visit them when they are in their house and give them unique items when they ask for them. I'm currently doing this with Friga and she gave me a throne in return .-. And then Tammy pinged me yesterday, but I did not talk to her that much and she moved in probably a week and a half before.
Not quite sure if this helps, but if you hit your Dreamies with your net/hammer, it will make your friendship with them stay the same, therefore not allowing you to advance in the befriending categories. Using this, constantly talk to the villager you want out. This triggers their friendship level to go higher, therefore the game will try and move them out.

4. (Rumored) Spam talking to them
There was a thread with this, which says that if you spam talk to the villager, to the point where they will have the speech/dream bubble above their heads. Did this with Friga, she still has not moved out yet

5. Using the system clock
I'm not 100% sure on this method, but I think it requires you to set the game a year (?) ahead, then go onto your game with a new save file/character. Once your new character arrives in the town, check the map to see which villager moved out. If it is someone you wanted to keep, close the game without saving and change the system clock back.

6. TT'ing method
Or you can use this: http://bamdom.tumblr.com/post/57682343411/alternatively-titled-how-to-get-your-dream

Hopefully this helped >.<
Friga why you no move ಥ_ಥ but thx for the throne

I got Hazel from someone's villager pool, and after some time she pinged me to let me know she will leave.

I was pretty surprised because I had heard the same thing you heard.
Also I spoke to him everyday, but his friendship level wasn't super high cause he didn't give me his picture when he left.
I really think it's totally random. And it doesn't cycle through all 10 one by one. The same one can ask you multiple times and one will rarely ask.
Sucks but it seems like you've just been unlucky :(

I do the same steps. D: I never had problems TTing or moving anyone out but this one is just ridiculous, it's been months, literally both in-game and rl :( Also, was Hazel your 10th villager move in? Or was it before then?

Thank you so much for answering.

Seems like I'm pretty unlucky.. Way too unlucky as it's been far too long and how everyone has been asking, but him. I think everyone asked at least four times already. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that just because they're voided and my 10th villager, doesn't necessarily mean that I have to move someone else out first, thank you. I'll keep trying again. Anyway so do you recommend me just talking to him and befriending him?

I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I speak to each of my villagers at least three times a day even if I don't like them to try to catch rumors of anyone moving. It makes friendship go up pretty fast.
 
That's what happened in my main town with Tex mex. At that time Peanut was slated to move in and I had to alter my plans by letting Freya move out first.

With 8 dreamies, I TTed cautiously (1 day forward, 1 day back) and checked for pings and rumours. It was hell of a tedious process as many of my existing dreamies pinged instead which was really nerve-wrecking. Finally, Tex pinged to move but I'm pretty sure I had at least 15 pings from dreamies before his.

As long as someone pings to move, the immunity is removed from the 10th villager. You need not agree for that said villager to move.
