Who was your first camper? Did you like them?

i think it's just down to luck tbh
maybe smugs are more likely to appear but you might also get a different personality, me and my sister got the game at the same time so she could have got a smug but just so happened to get a normal
 
Raymond. I don't really care for him though. He's alright and I like him. But I prefer Shep for my smug.
Raymond is still in my town at the moment. But I've promised him to my friend who fell in love with him. XD I have another friend who has Shep so she's holding him for me until he decides to ping her.

In regards as well to the 'first camper is always a smug' I don't think that's really the case. I do remember seeing some people get different villagers around the time most people were getting the campsite. Specifically I remember a post online somewhere about someone thinking Reneigh was a smug because she showed up as the forced camper. I think it's just an extremely high chance for it to be a smug - say 90-95%?
But maybe the rates have changed since it's been a few patches since then.
 
My first camper is Marshal. He wasn't my dreamie and I didn't care for him. Since he was forced to move in, I grew attached to him and don't want to see him leave now lolol. If I didn't have Marshal, I would have probably wanted Julien as my smug.
 
I got Shep who really isn't that bad but before I reset I got Lopez and was hoping to get him, Zell, or Raymond as my smug so I was a little annoyed haha. And then when I was giving him away 3 people flaked after agreeing to take him before I finally found a fourth person who really wanted him. So I do't like him just because of association 😅
(Raymond was my next smug campsite visitor so I've forgiven the campsite since then haha)
 
It was Keaton. I neither like nor dislike him. I still got rid of him at the first occasion :devilish:
 
Mine was Chadder. I really disliked him, but thankfully he asked to move after only like a week.
 
Really odd. Everyone was getting smugs near release date?

When did you start your island? Maybe an update changed this or something.
I got a cranky too and I started the game at release, I dont think the first camper is a guaranteed smug... I havent had any smug villagers on my island yet sadly
 
Hans! I was heartbroken because he's one of my favorites but he didn't fit with my theme so I ended up letting him move out when he asked.
 
Curlos. I hated him but he was the first villager to give me his picture.

For all those saying that's it's always a Smug, I think there was a thread here with some people reporting that they got a different personality type. It was rare but it happened.

I got Zell. I thought he was okay and could definitely be considered a cool villager by many people's aesthetics but I didn't form any kind of attachment to him so I replaced him with Henry via amiibo and didn't have any regrets.
 
Keaton was my first camper!

I was already fond of the smug eagle when I had him in my town in NL. I love all smug villagers and I would've been happy with anyone else, smug or not, but I'm really glad I got him. I honestly took him in immediately because the sentimental value is that strong. :')
 
I got Colton and I got rid of him as soon as I possibly could.
 
Mine was Graham! I feel indifferent about him, and honestly just waiting for him to move out :censored:
