Full Guide to Kicking out Villagers

This is the in-game mechanical way of removing your most annoying villagers in #AnimalCrossing New Horizons, and it’s all about #RickAndMorty’s Mr.MeeSeeks.

Every Way to Kick out a Villager

You can watch the full in-depth look how the in-game mechanics of Animal Crossing works for Villagers Happiness in-relation to moving out, but if you don’t have time here is a quick guide to kicking out/moving out villagers from your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Villagers you ignore, hit, or isolate will not leave your island. The reason behind this is because they are trying to hit their Best Friend Status in-order to leave the island. Just like Mr.Meeseeks, their mission is to be best friends, and they won’t stop existing until you are best friends.

Friendship Guide

If the Villager does not hit the Best Friend Status, the game is assuming you are still trying to progress with the villager to get their photo/ become best friends. So the game will select other villagers that have reached best friend status to remove from your island and making those villagers eagerness to move out.

Friendship

Now, while that is the reasoning behind the villagers you love wanting to move out, and the villagers you hate, are staying, here are 3 methods to kick out a villager with or without increasing your friendship with them.

  1. CAMPSITE
Campsite

Once you have 10 villagers, a new villager can come to your island every 7–14 days
You have to win a card game for them to move in, but if you don’t, just keep talking to them and eventually they’ll want to move in
They will select a random villager to kick out, if it selected a villager you like, go to the home menu, close Animal Crossing New Horizons, and reopen and the villager will be reset to another villager.

2. Amiibo Cards / NTAG215

You can purchase these on ebay, but its a better investment if you
purchase NTAG215 Stickers/ Cards (you can select the villager you want for a fraction of the cost

3. Villagers Leaving Naturally

The current the Para Guide has been the most well known for the Animal Crossing online community. My only issue with this guide is it focuses on Time Travel RNG vs. Relationships with the villager so RNG is very iffy in Animal Crossing on which villager wants to move out.

But again this isn’t perfect, you need some luck on your side… like for me it usually kicks out everyone else except the villager I want to kick out because I wasn’t close enough friends with them compared to other villagers.

How RNG works

Note — The graph above basically explains, let’s say its 5 Villagers. You had 2 of them. It is a 25% change for Raymond to want to move out, 25% change for Marshall to want to move out, 25% for Marina to want to move out, and a 12.5% for the ugly villagers you want to kick out. While you have a chance to kick them out, its just significantly lower compared to the other villagers each day.

Now what I found more successful for myself (because the RNG gods hate me) is to become best friends (150 points), and then stop talking to the villager. If the villager wants to change a greeting or catchphrase, they’re ready to move out

If you are not too fond of becoming friends, this is the framework of how to encourage a villager to move out

i. Build a fence around a villager (easier to find the villager daily)

ii. Talk to the villager everyday as much as you can for 7 days straight (Giving a gift helps out with this process)

Talk to Villager

iii. Ignore the villager completely until you see the thought bubble.
Took me personally 4 days, but it could take longer for you. Again this isn’t the perfect solution, but it makes the most sense in the in-game mechanics and this works out for real-time players to focus on other things during the day

Villager moves out

That’s it. That’s all I have to say.
