How do you kick out villagers?
To kick out villagers, players will need to ignore the villagers they want gone, observe them, but refuse to speak with them, whilst going out of the way to talk to other villagers nearby, perhaps even send them mail and ignore their reply, or cook without them. The actual method to get villagers to leave is by completely ignoring them while talking to the other villagers, and it’s essential to note that hitting them will make them more likely to stay, as it counts as attention, even though it’s negative attention.
