How to make villagers leave in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

There are many different reasons why Animal Crossing players might want certain villagers to leave. Some personality types clash with others, and some villagers are more annoying than others. Either way, there's a simple solution to removing them that doesn't have to be unpleasant.

Players simply need to stop interacting with the villager they want to evict from the Animal Crossing island. This includes ignoring whenever they call out, not responding to their mails, and talking about them with Isabelle. After a while of being neglected, villagers will move out on their own, but that takes time.

Removing enraged neighbors is a little easier for gamers who collect Amiibo figures. Amiibo scanning in the Nook Stop is unlocked after Tom Nook enables it. The equipment at Resident Services that assists players with debt repayment also aids in the scanning of Amiibo figures. These characters have helped gamers in keeping the locals on their beloved island. The Amiibo figurines can also assist in the expulsion of enraged villagers from the island.

Players must have a campsite on their island to accomplish this. After improving Residential Services once, players usually have the option of building a campsite. After constructing the campground, a villager will arrive, and players will have the option of inviting him to settle on the island.

This should also prompt Tom Nook to inform the gamer that Nook wants to welcome additional villages. Visit the Nook Stop machine after Nooks' presentation about inviting villagers. Players will be given the option of inviting villagers through Amiibo cards.

This strategy only works if the players' island is full. Once the island is fully populated, players can utilize Amiibo figures to invite their favorite locals to dwell there. Then wait until the next day to use the figure on the Nook Stop machine. On the Island campsite, the sought villager will appear. Players will then have the option of inviting these characters to live on the island.

Considering the island is already full, the game will next inquire which villager should be persuaded to leave the island. Choose a disgruntled villager and expel them from your gorgeous paradise to make way for a new villager.

Animal Crossing gamers can inform Isabelle about an unwanted villager. However, this method takes a little patience as they have to employ it for a few days before it bears fruit.

Another interesting way is to hit the unwanted villager with a net whenever they're around. This will cause them to lose interest and eventually leave.

Removing unwanted Animal Crossing villagers doesn't have to be unpleasant, and it can be done pretty easily.
