How to Swap Villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Are you looking to spice up your island life in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by swapping villagers? Swapping villagers can be a fun way to add new personalities and dynamics to your community. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of swapping villagers in ACNH, so you can easily introduce new faces to your island. Let’s get started!
Understanding Villager Swapping
Before diving into the swapping process, it’s essential to understand the basics of villager swapping in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Villager swapping allows you to exchange one villager for another, either with other players or with the game’s NPC villagers. This process can be done at the Roam menu, which is accessible at any time by pressing the “L” button on the Switch.
Swapping with Other Players
To swap villagers with other players, follow these steps:
1. Access the Roam menu by pressing the “L” button on your Switch.
2. Choose the “Find Other Players” option from the menu.
3. Search for players who are also using the “Find Other Players” feature.
4. Once you find a player, select their name and choose “Trade” from the menu.
5. Select “Villager Swap” from the trade options.
6. Choose the villager you want to swap and wait for the other player to confirm the swap.
Remember that both players must have villager swapping enabled to successfully swap villagers. Additionally, swapping with other players can be a hit or miss, as it depends on the availability of both players and the willingness to swap.
Swapping with NPC Villagers
If you prefer to swap villagers with the game’s NPC villagers, follow these steps:
1. Access the Roam menu by pressing the “L” button on your Switch.
2. Choose the “Trade” option from the menu.
3. Select “Villager Swap” from the trade options.
4. Choose the villager you want to swap with the NPC villager.
5. Wait for the NPC villager to confirm the swap.
Swapping with NPC villagers is a more reliable method, as the game’s AI ensures that the swap goes through smoothly. However, this method is limited to swapping with NPC villagers, and you won’t be able to swap with other players.
Conclusion
Swapping villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a simple and enjoyable way to refresh your island’s community. Whether you choose to swap with other players or with NPC villagers, following the steps outlined in this article will help you introduce new faces to your island. Happy swapping!
