How to keep residents from moving out on Animal Crossing: City Folk?
January 102010
Ok I have this favorite character and they are wanting to leave is there any way i can keep them from going. I know in Wild World you can talk to them is that the same for City Folk? Please help me out on this Thanks!
It’s different in Wild World, the animal doesn’t speak to you about it in advance as in Let’s Go To The City [City Folk]. You can presuade an animal to stay by talking to it continuously until they say something like "Well, if you want me to stay this badly, then I’ll think about it. But no promises!"
Or anything along those lines. This usually means they will stay after saying something like that. I’ve never had a case where that hasn’t worked. All though sometimes you can’t get an Animal to say they will think about staying. And they just move away. Sometimes they will send you a letter just after they move.
Now, back to your question;
I’m not sure you can’t stop an animal from moving in CF, so when an animal talks to you about moving, just keep saying "Don’t Go!" or "Th-That can’t be!" or whatever, and this may cause them to change their mind before they actually pack up their boxes. Try sending a letter with a gift attached.
But you can stop them by moving (Before they decided to!) by:
Pulling up weeds
Planting Trees and flowers all over the place
Picking up furniture you’ve dumped on the ground (I do this, my house is cluttered, so stuff has to be left out side while I sort out my old rubbish, to put them into my house or storage, or to sell)
When you’re asked to deliver a parcel/letter NEVER open it! The animal will never let it go. (My favourite character Drake left after I did this and kept bringing the subject up and getting upset. Also never say no -there’s Bells and Prizes if you deliver them!
Make daily visits to everyone in your town. And whenever they ask your opinion, flatter them! Some will soon become your best friend, and regularly give you gifts and maybe even their photo (I have Drifts, Lily’s, Gwen’s, Sally’s, Aurora’s, Pierce’s, and Bluebear’s)
Send them letters! In AC, everyone loves getting letters. I try to send one each day, with a gift attached. This not only keeps them happy, but they will always send a gift back. This is especially good for getting rid of old shirts, seeing as they are worth next to nothing!
I’m sure you knew most of this, so it’s just for people who don’t know so much about it.
Sorry If I went on a bit. Hope this helped.

IIRC, they all move out eventually.
the only way to prevent this, is with cheats.

in wild world you just have to keep talking to them until they say something that makes you think they will stay but sadly in city folk if they decide to move and pack up their boxes in their house you cant do anything to stop them but you can prevent them from packing up their boxes by:
1. talk to them often (every day is recomended)
2. send them letters
3. always be nice to them
4. never open deliveries or packages that they gave you to deliver to another resident
5. keep your town free of weeds plant trees and flowers (make sure to water your flowers)
If you do these things they shouldnt try to move away. Hope i helped!

I read on another question that was posted on here that you have to give them a letter with a present attached although i am not sure this will work..

just be nice to them and make them want to stay. If they talk to you about leaving tell them not to
