tbh i think mine is doing whatever im doing atm.... or taking a vacation
Like what i mean is... one time i was on a side character and i went into my mayor's house... she wasnt in any of the beds like she would be in CF/LGTTC...
Walking around stopping, getting tools out, putting them back up, walking around some more, going to the cafe, walking around some more, going into their house, walking around some more, sitting on a chair, walking around some more, leaving their house, walking around some more, going to main street, walking around some more, going back to the villager, and walking around some more.
Hmm... Maybe doing all the stuff we can't do in-game? Like lay on the ground, and watch clouds, or soak in the ocean, or reading one of the thousands of books I have in her house, or attempt to scale the cliffs or the fence for the train tracks and go exploring! Hahaha...
Messing up my town by planting unnecessary flowers all over the place. Or when they suddenly left, maybe they went looking after me. Maybe some throw a party because I, the stalkerish mayor, is finally gone.
I thought you mean the villagers and not your playable character at first lol.
I assume they must be doing something.
Maybe they're off playing a game similar to Animal Crossing.
Except you play as an animal and you live in a town with people.
