What are my options for my original Island Villagers?

[Bazzlin]

My first ones were Agnes and Bam. I love them both and they will stay forever!

I'm ok with Bam's home but Agnes' house.... I looked up what her home is SUPPOSED to look like and it's just so pretty compared to what I have. What are my options to get Agnes with her natural home? Is there an easier way than kicking her out and then trying to find her again with NMT? That's the only way I can think to do it. Sorry I'm new to all of this so if the answer is really obvious, I apologize! I'm including photos of what I have VS her natural home so that you can understand my plight. lol

While you can always gift her furniture and stuff to try and help, her house won't ever look exactly like the image on the right unless you either reset your island or kick her out and move her back in. Even if you gift her lots of furniture and stuff, she won't use walls or floors you give her, and as far as I know she wouldn't use a rug and probably not wall decor either. It's very unfortunate. I went through it on my previous island as well, trying to change out furniture I didn't like...

Edit: You could also kick her out and ask someone to hold her for you and that might reset her house but I'm not 100% sure. You could also get her from a member on here if you kick her out on your file. There is no 16 villager cycle.

The only way to get YOUR Agnes back would be getting her to move out and have a friend invite her to their island, and then they get her to move out and you invite her back. I did this with my Rudy and my friend's Genji. It might be easier for someone who has Amiibo so they can choose to specifically get Agnes to move?

There are no "options". They will always have a basic interior.

Does her home change when she gets to a new island? I thought they take their stuff with them.

I have the same problem, also with Agnes. Maybe we should swap agneses lol

I don't mind the starter houses myself, shows some commitment and dedication you have for your first 5 if you keep them. But I have entertained this notion myself, so I can see why people are bothered by this. I hope there is an option to upgrade them in the future for those that want to.

I do have a major question though. The first 5 hang out in their houses and give DIYs at certain times of the day. If you replace them do you lose access to gettting those DIYs?

Once she goes to a new island her house will upgrade so when you get her back she will have upgraded house

The benefit to this method is you get YOUR Agnes back, you don't start from scratch with a new one.

Not only the first 5 do that! Every villager has the potential to give you a DIY ^^

That's great! Thank you! I will be doing this as soon as I can convince someone to do this with me! lol

If you have a friend to hold her, you can have your Agnes back and she should remember you! I think it's better than trying to hunt for her, because unless it's the octo villagers, it's really difficult to find a particular one
