How to get Bob in New Horizons
Getting a villager you want in New Horizons is particularly tricky, as there is only one surefire way to do so, the rest is up to luck. There are two primary methods of getting Bob in your village, the first is using Nook Miles to fly to an island and see if he is there. Keep in mind if you do this you’ll have to have an open plot available. The next is to wait and see if he’ll appear on your campsite. Either way both methods are luck based, so it’s completely up to chance.
Role of Bob in New Leaf
Bob is a villager again in New Leaf, appearing randomly by chance with the opportunity to invite him to stay in your town. New Leaf was his first appearance in the Animal Crossing games.
Role of Bob in New Leaf
Much like in previous entries, Bob is a villager you can encounter, through time you can convince him to permanently settle into your village, talking and building up your friendship with the cat.
Amiibo
A guaranteed way to get Bob on your island is to use his Amiibo card. Simply scan it with your Switch on the Town Hall. Keep in mind in order to do this you need to have both the Town Hall and Campsite constructed. Once you’ve invited him to your campsite, you simply need to do this three times and he’ll be part of your island!
