Will rando villagers show up?

[th8827]

I would like to plan ahead for some Amiibo villagers.

If I set out plots in advance, will randos move in while I am working on their 3 camp visits?

Yes. Don't set up the plot until the third day they are camping and you go to invite them.

I think a random villager will only move in if you set a plot and don't invite anyone from either the island or the campsite. So, the next day, the plot will be "sold" to a random villager.

But if you set a plot and them ask someone from the campsite or island to move in, the next day it will be sold to them.

I put one down already because I was expecting it to be immediate...

I guess that I will have to relocate the rando once they take the prime spot.

Spend some Nook Miles and get a Nook Ticket then visit some islands and see if you can look for someone more desirable.
That way at least you won't have a total random moving in.

Its a good idea to set the plot up the 3rd day to make sure randoms won't move in and take that plot!

Because the tutorial camper moved in right away, I was expecting all campers to work that way...
