Can I Invite Two Villagers in One Day?
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, villagers can be a great addition to your island community, offering unique personalities and services. However, with a maximum of 10 villagers per island, you might want to know the limitations and rules surrounding villager invitation. In this article, we’ll answer the pressing question: Can I invite two villagers in one day?
The Basics of Villager Invitation
To invite a villager, you need to have an empty plot of land on your island. When you meet a villager from a mystery island or interact with a camper on a mystery island tour, they will ask you if they can move in. After accepting, they will eventually move into the empty plot.
The One Villager Per Day Limitation
According to the game mechanics, you can only invite one villager from a mystery island or a camper on a mystery island tour per day. This limitation also applies to inviting villagers to your island through online communities or other means. When you invite a villager, they will stay at the campsite on the mystery island until the next day, at which point they will move to a vacant plot on your island.
Exceptions and Considerations
There are some cases where you can bypass this limitation:
- Resident Services: When opening Resident Services, a representative will move into the newly built building, regardless of the number of villagers on your island.
- Villager Births: When a villager gives birth to twins (a rare occurrence), this will count as one additional villager moving in. However, you still won’t be able to invite another villager immediately after.
Why the One Villager Per Day Rule?
The developers designed this system to balance island growth and management. This limitation ensures that the introduction of new villagers doesn’t overwhelm the island and players. It also gives players time to settle into a routine, get to know their villagers, and complete tasks before welcoming another one.
How to Meet Villagers
You can meet villagers in several ways:
- Mystery Island Tours: Take guided tours to mystery islands and interact with the villagers residing there.
- Free Play: Play as friends or join online communities and participate in mystery island activities.
- Furnished Campsites: Check mystery islands for furnished campsites, which often attract travelers and villagers.
Common Misconceptions and Limitations
Don’t rely on the following common myths:
- My Villager Will Move Out: Villagers will never move out without your consent or due to their personal choice.
- I Can Invite Two Villagers Per Tour: You can only invite one villager from each mystery island or camper. If you accept, it will count as one villa
