Some people are probably going to think I'm insane, lol. But I have a feeling some of you can relate.

Like many others here, Audie is a super dreamy of mine. When I first started playing NH I was not aware of how the mechanics of moving in the villagers worked. If I had known I would have done things differently. I had only invited one villager from a mystery tour by the time I completed my first 3 plots for Nook. I thought I'd still be able to continue inviting people and I didn't realize I'd get random move-ins at that point. If I would have known, I would have invited a Normal and Lazy and then just kept going on tours until I found Audie, lol.

After moving in my first camper (Raymond!!), I used all my Nook miles on tours looking for Audie. I think I used 33 tickets, lol. But obviously at that point my chances were much lower because I was encountering all personality types and not just Peppy.

So, then I came up with The Plan, lol. We have two Switches and two copies of the game because my fiance eventually wants to try the game out and play with me. He has not started his game yet, so I used our other Switch to make a "junk town" that will be deleted later. So I did what I said I'd do before and invited a Normal and Lazy, and then I just started grinding miles for tickets until I found Audie! Finally got her today and it didn't really take all that long since I was only able to encounter Peppy villagers at that point.

Now the plan is to TT in my junk town until I can get her to move out and then I'll steal her for my real town, LOL. After it's all done, I can just delete the junk town so my fiance can start whenever he's ready.

So...I'm hoping for some fun stories from you guys. What's the craziest thing you've ever done to get a dreamy?
 
Bangle is literally the cutest tiger ever, and she was a strarting villager for my current New Leaf town and she's been there ever since, so of course I want her in New Horizons!
So, the other day I island hopped for 10 hours to find her...
It was horrible but at the same time, kinda worth it?
While island hopping I ran into a bunch of fan favorites like Coco, Julian, and Chrissy.
I honestly wish I knew how much tickets I bought/used but I didn't count because I thought it was gonna be a quick hunt, but boy was I wrong TwT

I bought the Nate amiibo card. I don't tt so I'm on day 2 of trying to getting him. It's so tedious, but WORTH IT FOR NATE.
 
I’ve really been debating spending $35-45 on a Lucky amiibo card for about a week now... LOL I literally had a dream last night that I bought all of the series 4 amiibo cards on Amazon and still didn’t get the Lucky amiibo card... I think I’m either obsessed or going insane trying to get him to move to my town!
 
Paid $100 to get eighteen series two card packs in their original box just to get one particular card
 
I reseted over 60 times for Fang when I first got new leaf x.x literally got every possible cranky villager (some 4 times over) except for 2 others by the time I finally encountered him. Still don't have him in NH but despite my avi and signatures I can wait lol.

I used all in all 65 mystery island tour tickets (130K worth of miles all in all) including the two free tickets from Nook to find my dreamies. I ended up with 5 dreamies (Molly, Zucker, Audie, Rudy & Chief) who are never leaving and 2 tolerable ones (Sprinkle, Whitney) who are staying for quite sometime. The remaining three islanders are the 2 starters (Deirdre and Billy) and the 1 forced camper (Ed). All in all, it’s not too bad. But grinding for those miles...that was no joke. The next time someone moves out, I’m working towards getting Marshal and Maple. I have to stack up on miles, until then. Once I get them, I’m all good. No more dreamies needed and the remaining 3 slots in my island could be for anyone who wants to move in.

I have not... YET! Raymond is not a dreamy atm but I am still interested in having him in my town for the sake of getting to know him. The same for sherb. Craziest so far is spending 30 tickets in one day since I had an empty plot. I hoped to see Raymond or Sherb but nope! Cus Chevre is stalking me. I saw her 3 times in those 30 tickets I used.

On the side not, i've done some stuff in new leaf thats probably considered cray cray.
Bought a second copy to sell/auction popular villagers. Get paid in my main town. Then use those millions of bells I got to bid or buy dreamies ;-; This was before amiibos was released.
 
i’ve used 20+ tickets just to try and find a dream villager or at least a villager that i don’t hate - it’s hard lmao
 
Nothing too crazy lol. Although I did buy Rocket’s amiibo card on eBay because my island will never truly be complete without that fierce gorilla.

Does anyone have a link or more information about forcing the type of villager from the islands? I haven’t heard about this yet and would like to know more!
 
i have over 100 amiibo cards from ebay so yea basically all my dreamies were a chore to get. now i'm all about collecting every amiibo card :)
 
Well, I bought a Wii game without owning the console because it came with two figures and three amiibo cards including one dreamie and two very nice villagers. I would have used my dreamie, but he was actually on a random island, so I used another card to prevent random move ins.

My second dreamie I found on a random island again. I usually travel like five times a day.
 
Probably not as ‘crazy’ as some stories here, but I once got up at 4am and sneaked onto the family computer to bid on an auction for Marshal. Wouldn’t be too outrageous now I’m an adult, but I was 16 at the time and my mom would’ve killed me if she caught me :’)

I won the auction though!
