Enter house, see him/her, leave. Fence him/her in. If they are outside, hit them with net. Don't talk to them until they have thought bubble.
thank you but I heard fencing in doesn’t work my method is so much more work but it does work if you follow it.
1. Remember your original date before TT. Time travel a day forward around 12:30ish pm that’s when most are outside. Check for bubbles. If no bubbles, change system clock to next day, back to game - save, go back into game without closing out.
2. If no bubbles on second day, skip 15 days. Forward the clock by one hour so 1:30-1:45pm. I use this time because usually most villagers are outside. If they aren’t outside this is a waste of time. If the bubble is on wrong one, go back to your original date (save, change sys clock, restart) then go back to the date when you saw the bubble. The game should cycle thru different villagers every time you go back to the original date and go back to bubble date.
3. If you don’t see bubbles on day 15 then skip a day forward with the 1:45pm time and the save reboot thing without closing the game completely. You’ll eventually get it on the right villager.
note: * every time you go back to your original date, go back an hour (your original time) it seems that this affects when your villager is inside or outside. But your villager has to be outside with the bubble. Bubble doesn’t appear when they are inside for some reason.
with all these time consuming steps, I have no idea how people are transferring villagers this much to sell $$$ rares like Raymond.
