How long after a villager asks to leave?

If a villager asks to leave and you do not persuade them to stay, they will pack their furniture in boxes five days later and move out two days after that, resulting in a total of seven days before they leave your island. After they move out, they will send you a goodbye letter, marking the official end of their stay on your island.

Villager Movement and Interaction

Understanding the dynamics of villager movement and interaction is crucial for managing your island’s population effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some key questions and answers related to villager movement and interaction:

1. How do you make a villager stay after telling them to leave? To make a villager stay after they have decided to leave, you can log out of the game, create a second player character on your island if you don’t already have one, and then use this character to find the villager you want to stay. This method allows you to essentially “reset” the situation and prevent the villager from moving out.

2. Will a villager ask to leave again? A villager will not ask to leave again for a while after you’ve intervened to make them stay. If they do ask to leave, it often means your friendship level with them is very high, and the game is attempting to cycle them out so you can befriend new characters.

3. Can villagers stay on your island forever? Yes, villagers can stay on your island indefinitely as long as you maintain a good relationship with them and check in regularly. They won’t move out if you’re actively engaging with them and ensuring their happiness.

4. How do I get villagers to move out with a super easy method in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? To get villagers to move out, you can ignore them or give them undesirable gifts like garbage or spoiled turnips. This method can encourage them to leave more quickly, typically within five to six days.

5. Why do none of my villagers want to leave? There’s a 15-day cooldown period after a villager moves out during which no other villager will want to leave. Additionally, you need to have at least 9 villagers on your island for the option of moving out to be available.

6. What happens after a villager asks to leave? The day after a villager asks to leave and you agree, their house will vanish, and an empty plot will be left in its place. You can then either visit Nook Miles Islands to find a new villager to move in or wait for the plot to auto-fill with a random villager, which usually happens within a day but can take up to three days.

7. How long can a villager stay at your house? A villager visiting your house will stay for around 5 minutes, and this duration can be longer if your house has multiple rooms. They might express interest in seeing other rooms, indicating their willingness to stay a bit longer.

8. Do you have to talk to a villager for them to move out? Yes, villagers always need to ask for your permission before they can move out. You cannot ignore them into leaving without them first initiating the conversation about moving.

9. How long does it take for Isabelle to kick out a villager? Isabelle does not directly kick out villagers. However, repeatedly discussing a villager with Isabelle might eventually lead to them leaving, but this is not a guaranteed or quick method and could take several days.

10. What happens if you ignore a villager who wants to move out? Ignoring a villager who wants to move out will eventually lead to them leaving, but it’s not the fastest method. It’s more about building a strategy to encourage their departure, such as reducing interaction or giving them unwanted items.

11. Do villagers get mad if you keep talking to them? Villagers do not get annoyed if you keep talking to them, but there’s a limit to how many times you can engage with them in a row. After a certain number of conversations, they might decline to talk further, with some personalities responding more rudely than others.

12. Will villagers ask to leave on Saturday? No, villagers will not ask to leave on a Saturday, but they can ask to leave on Sundays.

13. Do all villagers eventually leave? Most villagers will decide to stay on your island if you maintain a good relationship with them. However, if you ignore them for a long time, they might request to leave, allowing for new villagers to join.

14. How do you get villagers to move out? To encourage a villager to move out, look for one with a thought bubble and agree to let them leave. If a villager you want to keep has a thought bubble, avoid talking to them and wait for the next day when another villager might have a thought bubble.

15. Do villagers sell out forever? No, villager trades do restock as long as the villager has access to their workstation. Each villager has a limited number of trades per day, so you cannot trade with them indefinitely, but their inventory will replenish over time.
