Read on Twittera thread from someone who has been picky about who gets to live in their town since city folk
first of all, im gonna start this thread with some common myths and misconceptions/things you DON& #39;T wanna do
1. reporting them to isabelle
this does absolutely nothing to achieve ur goal of making them move out! the reporting system is for things like offensive catchphrases or clothes that other players have given villagers, NOT the behaviour of the villager themself!!

2. hitting them with nets/axes, bumping into them, making them angry: while it& #39;s funny as hell to bully them with all your friends, this wont actually make a villager move out! it& #39;ll just ruin their day lol
3. digging holes around their house/building walls around them: villagers just spawn wherever when you start up the game, they dont follow the same rules as actual players lol. ive seen some people who Actually believe this makes them move out but i can assure you it does nothing
now to what you SHOULD be doing! theres two main ways to get a villager to move out so ill start with the simplest method: using another villager& #39;s amiibo card!
when you invite a different villager to your campsite on three different days and complete every request they have, you can get them to move to your island! if theres no other plot available for them to move in, you get to choose which villager to kick out in favour of the amiibo
this is honestly the most efficient way to do it, but if u dont have amiibo cards there is another method! it& #39;s a bit more time consuming, but still very doable: just ignore the villager. heres how to do that!
ONLY talk to them ONCE: on the day they move in! this is essential! the first dialogue you have with them will always be an introduction so they cant move out if you& #39;ve never spoken to them, but after that just give them the silent treatment
make sure you talk to all of your other villagers every day though! this is very important to make this method work!
keep ignoring the villager you want to kick out and keep talking to everyone else daily for a while and you should see the villager you dont like pacing around with a little thought bubble above their head after about a week or so. when this happens, talk to them!
they will mention that theyre thinking about moving out and you should have them in boxes the next day :)
WARNING THO i personally dont time travel, but if u do decide to skip a couple days to get the villager to move out, BE SURE U DO IT ONE DAY AT A TIME skipping large periods at once can cause other villagers to move out too! thats why talking to everyone else daily is important!
and thats the end of the threat! hope this was helpful and have fun with your new improved Better villagers, ya bunch of bullies
