To get a campsite villager to move in when your island is full without using amiibo, you need to invite a camper that comes to your campsite and complete their DIY requests for three separate days, after which you can invite them to move in permanently. This process allows you to replace one of your current villagers with the new camper, giving you a way to refresh your island’s population without needing amiibo cards.
Understanding the Campsite Feature
The campsite is a feature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that allows villagers to visit your island randomly. These visitors can potentially move in if you convince them to do so. The process of getting a campsite villager to move in involves talking to them repeatedly until they express interest in moving to your island, which can sometimes involve playing games with them.
The Process of Inviting a Camper to Move In
When a camper arrives at your campsite, you can start the process of inviting them to move in by talking to them multiple times. Initially, they might ask you to play a game, and if you win, they will consider moving to your island. This process can take several attempts and requires patience, as the camper needs to be convinced that your island is the right place for them.
Key Steps to Invite a Camper
- Talk to the camper multiple times until they show interest in moving.
- Play games with them if they ask, as winning can increase their willingness to move.
- Complete any DIY requests they might have, as fulfilling these requests can also make them more inclined to move in.
