ROM Hack WIP Tutorial on how to use the NHSE House Editor for perfect villager injection

[strawpedro]

So I backed up Cyd from an old save and I'm trying to import him into my current save. Every time I try to load him into a plot, NHSE tells me that the villager didn't originate from my game and asks if I want to update the values. I click yes, and the tool freezes until I force close it. What am I doing wrong?

you can just click no and it should still work.

Is there any way to modify clothing? I swapped someone out for Raymond and now he has a dress on lol

Need some help here. So confused. I have a open plot on my island (Last Plot), and when I load up my save in NHSE a blank villager slot shows up as Villager Index 9.

I follow the instructions and place Judy into the slot. Making sure to match the NPC1 as 9 as well.

When I load my game, Judy ends up replacing my very first villager Lyman and I still have an empty plot.

What am I doing wrong??

Probably you did not follow one of the steps, make sure you save after editing in the house editor as well instead of just closing it.
Also, after injecting Judy into the empty slot, you need to save your savegame in NHSE before going into the house editor to inject her house.

Hello everyone.

I can't figure out how to add a villager to a blank spot. I loaded the character and house data with the files in the OP.

The character will be outside the main office one time, but then they disappear. They also don't have a house generated.

I assume I'm supposed to somehow add a lot for the house some way, but I can't figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT

Just saw strawpedro's post, I'll give that a go.

EDIT 2

Still nothing. I can edit existing villagers and change their house, but I cannot make new houses show up.

If you edit a villager by loading it into a villager slot (0-9), then the imported villager will appear in your game. It will use the location of previously existing villager's house plot. Make sure you also import the corresponding house in the new villager slot, or the previous villager's house will be used.

I only have the first 5 villagers you more or less start with. Is there no way to kick up the move in process?

you need to progress more until you get the residential service center so that you can buy more empty plots, you cannot inject villagers with no open plots

Oh I see. Thank you for that info.

Do I need a Switch with CFW to use this?

Do I need a Switch with CFW to use this?

Yes. NHSE and YKSV are needed, and they're homebrew apps

 

[IntrigueR]

Hi everyone. Is Judy.nhvh tally with the actual home interior? it doesn't seem to work for mine. the walls are plain.

 

[Jiburiru]

Terribly sorry to bother you guys, but I did some research and still have some questions.

From my understanding, if we were to use NHSE to edit a save file, we should be able to hypothetically move the save from EMUnand to Sysnand, so that we can play online using the Sysnand.

Could anyone possibly explain the process in transferring the file? I have read somewhere that you could either transfer it through the computer or use something like JKSV. However, I am not too familiar with it, and wanted to know more. Thank you so much in advance!

If anyone is interested, I used the database here (with credit in the source and video) to let you inject the villagers in real-time in my app. It injects both the villager and their furniture/house.

It handles the memory migration and NPC flag switching for you, so you get a villager with the memories of the one it's being injected over. You can obviously change this in the source if you don't want this.

There's a short video on how to use it here:

Probably the wrong thread to ask about transferring saves. There are references on how to do so in the main thread:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/animal-...-engineering-glitches-bugs-etc-thread.560199/

Search within that thread on transferring saves.
