I think every time I'm doing it..the villager changes..

I think I can use this to my advantage..
 
I think most people know this. It rotates on villagers in a personality group. Occasionslly, it will change. Example - I was getting uchis and down the line after many rese ts, it changed to normals. Weird. But it happens

OOooh it does?
I thought it just kept the villager instead of changing it..-late-
 
When you have 8 and the game is giving you a random move-in the villager will change each time you restart. So you can reset for a new villager - but when you get a villager you like you have to accept the house location! But when you adopt a villager or get one through street pass or visiting another town, you will just keep getting the same villager. Then people will plot reset for location. BTW, if you keep reloading a new save file, it will also change whether you are getting a camper or who is in the campsite. So that's another exploit to try:)

This. Oftentimes the latter part of that post is the case, so I think it's more of a misunderstanding than a glitch.

Oh, I don't have 8 yet more like 5 aha but oh thanks i get it now
 
Like Gracelia said, it's rotates upon personality group.

In-fact, it's an easy way to get Villagers that you really want.

Personally, I don't do it. Because I'm afraid that I'm going to lose another villager from plot resetting (WHY SPRINKLE WHY?!) but it's a good method nonetheless.

Oh, gosh, I think it's even more specific by type of villager when you are getting your starting 8 :) You should look for some threads here and pay close attention if you have some dreamies you really want! Good Luck!
 
Has it still been giving you house plots? It happens when you have 8 villagers. Usually 3-5 house plots appear then it stops. From my experience with 5 villagers the game wouldn't stop giving me house plots from uchi, peppy and smugs (mostly uchi and smugs) until I picked a villager. It was extremely annoying but I got 2 of my dreamies this way. Their house plots are not the worst places, but they're just okay decent.

Yep, still giving me house plots, it takes a long time just to get a dreamie using this,

I heard someone recommend getting the first 7 with no smug. Then the game will start throwing smug villagers for the eighth, and there are relatively few of them.... I've not tested it. I had my towns filled long before I heard about this trick, and I haven't seen much discussion about it.

Hopefully one of your dreamies shows up soon. I had to deal with this twice. First when I thought it was a great idea to TT a day foward to start working on getting my approval and second after I adopted Fuchsia. Hopefully you don't have to deal with this.

It actually is. When I had 8 villagers I didn't have a single smug villager and honestly it was way easier this way that by the third house plot I got Marshal.
 
Oh yay, I got Fang! ^.^

Congrats! I have yet to obtain him. You can always have someone hold him for you if you're up for cycling 16 villagers.
