I managed to obtain Lolly last night, and I've been practicing the reset villager plot trick (where you enter the game on a new save file to see where they're putting their house, and if you don't like it, you can reset and try again) and I did this a few times... but then I got distracted and was talking to my Fianc? and I was absent-mindedly button mashing - and I looked down at my 3DS only to see Isabelle setting up my town ! (For those who don't know, this means it was too late to do anything about where Lolly had put her house). So I bit my lip and walked around town to see where she was... and luckily she had pitched up somewhere not
too awful, it could have been a lot worse!
About a week ago, Erik moved in. And this was before I knew about the reset trick... he moved right in the centre of my town. I have the town map which situates the plaza in the centre of town, and the river runs in a square shape in the middle of the island. I like all my villagers to be on the other side of the river, near the cliffs. Erik is in the WORST place ever, he's also right next to a bridge. Yeah. I'm moving him on very soon. xD
