How do you move in a villager when your island is full?
As your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to grow, you may eventually reach the limit of villagers that can reside there. However, you can still invite new villagers to move in, and this article will guide you through the process.
Method 1: Talk to Campsite Villager Multiple Times
One way to move a villager into your island is to invite them through the campsite. To do this:
- Talk to the campsite villager multiple times until they invite you to play games.
- Keep trying even if you lose, as the villager will eventually agree to move in.
- After playing 2 or more games, the villager will say "if you win, I’ll move in."
Method 2: Create a Campground
Another way to invite new villagers to move in is by creating a campground. Here’s how:
- Upgrade Resident Services to a building.
- Talk to Tom Nook again about more plans for developing your island, and he’ll have to look into crafting a Campground.
- Check the Campground for random visitors, and invite a villager to stay on your island.
Timing
Keep in mind that the villager’s decision to move in may be subject to timing. According to some players, a 15-day cooldown period applies to villager movements. This means that no one can ask to move in during this period.
Filling an Empty Plot
To move a villager into an empty plot, you can use the following method:
- Check for an empty plot on your island.
- Talk to Tom Nook to inquire about the availability of plots.
- If an empty plot is available, Tom Nook will tell you to invite the villager to move in.
Villager Behavior
Villagers may visit your home without scheduling a visit, known as an "unscheduled visit". During these visits, they may give you gifts or engage in small talk. Unscheduled visits are random and can happen at any time.
Common Misconceptions
Here are some common misconceptions about villager movement:
- Villagers can move in randomly. This is not the case. Villagers need to be invited or recruited to move in.
- Villagers will leave your island randomly. This is not the case. Villagers can choose to leave your island, but this is usually because you have reached the island’s capacity.
Summary
Moving a villager into your island when it’s full can be achieved through various methods. You can either invite them through the campsite or create a campground to attract new villagers. Remember to keep an eye out for unscheduled visits from villagers and don’t be discouraged if it takes some time to find the right villager to move in.
