Tips

New ones won't spawn on Mystery Island, if you have 10 Villagers.

When an existing villager has just moved out, then they will only spawn.

And the house will be empty, where they used to live.

You won't be able to use this method, once an empty lot is sold.

The 7th villager you get will move in the next day.

To recruit someone else, you'll only have a 1-day window.

Depending on if you go before, the types of villagers that spawn will differ.

After the event, Resident services.

Villagers of all personality types will start to appear, after you build the Campsite.

For a specific villager at that point, it might take more time to wait.

From tests we ran in the full written guide below, you can find detailed spawn percentages.
