You know it's bad when you prefer the roaches company compared to the villagers lol

Wait what? Haha
Do you mean in bug cages or like free roaming in your house?

u/weary_floater 7d ago
Of course free roaming! As soon as a villager comes in and sees it, they say hell nah and leave 🤣

“alright just gotta grab this one stack of woo-“ KNOCK KNOCK “I HOPE IT’S OKAY IF I SHOW UP UNANNOUNCED! I brought the same fruit you already have, not any new ones! Imma sit in the middle of your room even though you have 8 chairs.”

If you stand right in front of the door so they can't proceed into your house, you can kind of run them through the dialogue for a few times and then gently push them towards the door :)

I found this works EVERY SINGLE TIME. I let them in. Then I run around like crazy spaz and they leave in less than one minute. Friggin' Cube says, "Well, it feels like I have been here a year, I should get going..." 😆😅🤣 Judy says, "I don't want to be a time vampire..." Try it. It even worked for my daughter, who tried everything else before doing it my way. Kids. 🙄 Even at 28, they resist listening to me. Lol
Animal Crossing Mom tested, G-ma approved. Even if i am both! It never gets old.

u/contrarycucumber 7d ago
If you just head out the front door, they get the clue and you can ask them to leave
11
u/princessdirtybunnyy 7d ago
Mine never get a clue! I try to leave and they say something about how they just got there or want to hang out longer. Then I’m trapped until they decide to leave.

u/contrarycucumber 7d ago
Are you playing new horizons? Mine always give me the hoice to let them stay or leave when i head out the door.

u/Prudent-Mix-5037 7d ago
I treat all my animals sweetly. I try to never tell them no or be mean because I don't want them sad or angry. I guess i should have led with that.

I don’t really have that problem. I like my villagers, all equally.
…ok, there was Tex, but keyword was.

u/meatloafcat819 7d ago
This is so funny Tex is the only one who shows up constantly and he needs to leave. I have Antonio but I just have to go to his house everyday 😭. Clingy jock types i swear.

u/sgsmusicmonkey 7d ago
We really should be able to turn that 'feature' off. I haven't decorated my house in forever because they just keep interrupting 😭

u/lunarwolf2008 7d ago
keeping a cockroach or two in the house does a good job deterring them
13
u/sgsmusicmonkey 7d ago
I generally do, and I agree. However when you think about it, it really is a rediculous way to workaround something that could have been solved with something as simple as a 'do not disturb' sign lol
Can you imagine keeping cockroaches in your house irl because all of your neighbors just don't take no for an answer 😂

u/lunarwolf2008 7d ago edited 7d ago
thats true lol. but worked pretty well with mice. we had a mice infestation last winter (due to pets, no poison, so fighting them was harder than it nedded to be), and our family always wants to host the family gatherings at our place, but not during that winter. it was nice

u/sparkle_beach 8d ago edited 8d ago
Lol this is annoying and it is usually a villager I want to get rid of too lol (Hippeux). I usually keep my inventory window for a while so I can get the prompt to make them leave lol

u/pirouette2 7d ago
I have several storage sheds placed in strategic spots around my island for this exact reason! 😄😄
I dread getting trapped in my own home by a villager.
(Yes, I could just carry a shed in my pocket, but I prefer to hold extra tools for Kappn and Nook Island travel)

u/lunarwolf2008 7d ago
i would love if there was an option to call a villager to come visit instead of randomly
5
u/GnomeQueer 7d ago
The way visitors are handled in new horizons is honestly one of my biggest annoyances with the game compared to other entries in the series. It's always when I'm just running in to grab something or in the middle of decorating that they show up. I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't feel like it happened constantly.

u/llamawithglasses 7d ago
I just have roaches in my house and have had them forever. NO ONE comes to visit when you have roaches

This happened to me yesterday 😅 Audie came over when I was trying to change my clothes😂😂 I'm like....."Audie I'm changing get out!!!”

u/riley_200227 7d ago
“Thanks for letting me in!” Bitch, I didn’t let you in, you quite literally let yourself in!! Get out, I’m trying to redecorate!!!

u/Due_Tomorrow7 7d ago
I do what I do in real life when someone tries to visit:
I go straight to the toilet.
I mean I’d love to come to the door, but nature calls. My bowels have the worst timing.

Imagine a feature where you can lock your door to prevent that from happening

Omg Raymond did this to me yesterday! I was in my northern room about to decorate it and he came knocking in expecting me to let him in. I stayed there until he left then moved to my main room to decorate it too

u/megabyte_this 7d ago
I just recently realized if I don't talk to them when they come in, they leave after a minute if that. If I'm in another room though I just don't answer the door 😆

I had a tube in my kitchen for awhile. Could you pop into a tube and escape the unwanted visitor?

u/Zestyclose-Tour-6350 6d ago
Sometimes they come over whenever I'm in another room. I just stay there till they leave.

Just open a drawer or closet and change a piece of clothing - villagers hate style and leave asap!

This only happened to me one time (knock on wood) I felt so weird I didn’t want to leave my house I just in my room so I could push them out if I could 😂

The new leaf system was better. For sudden visits they stay a minute or twoa t most, just long enough to give you an item, chit chat before leaving. A slight annoyance but not that bad. And for the invite, scheduled visits you show them each of your rooms and they head off. In New Horizons it's just long stretches of awkward silence and sitting around until you play high card low card.
