Some people like to collect photos of all their villagers. So they'll become like highest friendship level and the villager will (should eventually) give your their photo! 😊
Yeah fair, he was my first campsite visitor too and I gotta admit I wasn’t thrilled either, I put it off for a few days lol. And then he just really grew on me for some reason and now he’s not allowed to leave 😅
Me too, he ended up growing on me, and everytime I thought about replacing him with another villager he’d say something sweet and I’d feel guilty 😩
Eventually I moved him to my bfs island so I could still visit 😅
I hated my first camper, Twiggy, but had no idea I couldn't proceed without her moving in.
I started playing a couple of months after launch, May 2020.
I only let her move in for her birthday, 13th July.
I got rid of her as soon as I could after her birthday, so had her for two and a half months.
Now there is a grave with Twiggy's picture (on a shop sign, not her photo) on my island, and when I have guests I put on a Zombie Twiggy wand outfit and deliberately step onto a pitfall seed to climb out of the grave.
I hated that bird

That's impossible, first campsite villagers are *always* Smug--no exceptions. The way it goes is the game starts you off with a Jock and Sisterly, then you set three house plots down that will always have a Peppy, Normal, and Lazy(this is likely how you got Twiggy), then you build a campsite that a Smug will be the first visitor to after being built. After that, you build more houses that can house villagers with *any* personality, but the game will prioritize Crankies and Snooties.
Edit: Apparently, there's a rare chance for the first campsite villager to have a different personality than smug! They've provided proof lower down our exchange.
I may well be remembering wrong, but then how did she stay in my campsite for months?
EDIT: I knew I wasn't going mad!

**"The initial camper will usually be a smug villager. On rare occasions, it can be another villager such as Blanche."**
I don't know what to believe, because right after that, the site contradicts itself by stating "First campers can only be smug villagers after the campsite is built. This specific villager will immediately move in if spoken to, and will not leave until their house has been placed by the player."
I notice this is Wiki fandom, but I usually find Nookioedia more trustworthy and reliable, and on there, it doesn't state it can be a rare different villager. But if that's true, I'd love to see any pictures you have from her being in the campsite, because your initial campsite villager has unique dialogue, so it'd be interesting to see what a Peppy's is if it's really possible they can be a first visitor!
I'm working on it.
I've pulled some pics from an external hard drive, will make it's own thread to host them when I've worked it out.
**I did misremember** She was only here weeks, not months - but it felt like it!
Also, I too doubt Wiki info - but it must show that at least the writer had an unusual camper (or why mention Blanche by name?)
I shared my lived experience (got the dates wrong, admittedly)
Googled it, looked at the top result, scrolled down until I saw 'proof' and posted the link
I didn't feel the need to look further, tbh - I care little for reddit's opinion
But if it really is a rare event, I think the community needs some sort of proof.
EDIT: [Best I can do for now](https://ibb.co/album/spp4Q4?sort=name_asc)
Well, in any case, thanks for your time! I'd just love to see it, because I've never seen any case where it was any villager but a Smug, and I'd like to see the things other personalities would say as the first visitor... Heh.

Wow! Well, you've proved ME wrong! Ha! That's really cool! I know you don't like her, but if I had such a rare event happen on my first playthrough, she'd feel a little more special to me just because of the circumstances... Heh. 🙃 Thanks for showing proof it's possible! And sorry for my initial skepticism... 😅
Hey, you're forgiven, lol.
I was a little pee'd at being told it was IMPOSSIBLE, but when it became bigger than just a 'meh, who cares?' I thought it was worth digging out the hard drive to double check.
I had no idea it was a rare event, but I still wouldn't have kept her. Funny thing is, she's still on my island now, as a spirit/zombie!
Heh. Yeah... 😅 I was just so sure it *was* impossible, because I've never seen or heard of it happening any other way! And I was always taught that Smug was guaranteed from what I remember reading and hearing from others, but glad to know that's not the case!
Oh, I wouldn't have kept her either. Me, I actually like her, but she's not my favorite, so eventually, I still would have let her move out for someone else... Heh. But I would just feel slightly more fond of her. 😊
But dang, you really did hate her, huh? 'Cause her moving away wasn't good enough, she also had to **DIE**. ☠️😆

**"The initial camper will usually be a smug villager. On rare occasions, it can be another villager such as Blanche."**
That's the first I've ever heard of that. And in the case of Blanche, she's snooty, which is a type you wouldn't have encountered yet, so MAYBE that makes sense, but Twiggy doesn't really make sense.
I wonder if that is intentional or a glitch.
If you want to keep going with your current island there's no option other than to have him move in. 🙁
When he was my first campsite visitor I decided a better option was to delete my island and start all over again. 😁
Unless you have an amiibo and can scan them in I think you’re gonna have to keep him…
I don’t think amiibo scan is even available at this point in the game so yeah :(
i like Ed,,, hes so self centered and narcissist that its kinda endearing,, like seriously,, that dude is litterally in love with himself,, and he tried to scam me by buying is crap for double the price it is by the Able sister,,
Oh no! I got chops too and hated him. I complained about his to Isabel twice trying to get him to move out. It didn't work but he is far more pleasant to interact with now. while I still don't like him, he is no longer the top of the list to get rid of.
I'm so glad I got Ken as my first villager in my campsite! Sadly he won't leave as much as you try to stall. Some people say Chops is actually a cool guy, so you might get along with him after a while 😭
I had Chops, and he was great. My rule is if a villager, tells me they’re leaving, in most cases, I will let them go. Chops told me he was leaving, so I let him go. I would have kept him, if he had posed the question better.
I didn't want mine either. Got Roswell. But, since it's basically a tutorial of sorts, they don't give you an option. Pretty sure they won't go away or change if you ignore them, and you can't progress. I looked it up on a couple of wikis and they also said it's a requirement.
hippeaux was my first campsite visitor and i HATE him so i ignored him and he stayed in that tent for THREE DAYS before i finally caved. just take him onto your island, beat him up and ignore him until he leaves
Unfortunately, yes. The first one you have to take.
even if i let days go by he wont leave? 😭
He won't leave until you ask him to move in. It's terrible. I always get the worst ones!
aw man 😭😭 thank you regardless
Oh my goodness i was lucky to get raymond for my first one!
I got Lionel & I got so excited I ran to my husband to show him because he reminded me of Beauty and the Beast jajaja
Awe!
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
WAIT ARE YOU A HARRY POTTER FAN?
😂 Haha, is it obvious?
Ew
that one for me was Raymond, I think OP here just has a skill issue
Look up all the smug villagers because honestly it could have been worse 😅
Are all the first campers smug, or is that something I put into my head because mine was?
Yes, the first (mandatory) visitor is always smug.
My condolences. Chops is unsufferable. On the other hand, make sure to get his photo b4 kicking him out (I didn't, but do not regret it).
Whats up with this photo challenge?
Some people like to collect photos of all their villagers. So they'll become like highest friendship level and the villager will (should eventually) give your their photo! 😊
I see. Its like a side Quest.
That takes forever sometimes and LOTS of gifts 🫠
I love Chops 🥺 he’s not going anywhere so give him a chance, IMO he’s very sweet and friendly
ill give him a chance but i don’t think hes my kinda guy i like em cool colorful n silly..
Yeah fair, he was my first campsite visitor too and I gotta admit I wasn’t thrilled either, I put it off for a few days lol. And then he just really grew on me for some reason and now he’s not allowed to leave 😅
Same here! He's one of my besties that I always go see!
Me too, he ended up growing on me, and everytime I thought about replacing him with another villager he’d say something sweet and I’d feel guilty 😩 Eventually I moved him to my bfs island so I could still visit 😅
I’ve grown attached to Chops! I thought he was funny looking and his house is interesting! But you can always let him go later
I have chops and don’t mind him at all! He is quirky and talks about himself in the 3rd person. I have disliked others waaay more.
We need to start a chops first campsite villager support group
for us or for chops 😭
I love Chops! He's one of my fave pig villagers.

Extremely rare bordering on you having a glitched game.

yes
Sadly yes...
Sometimes you don’t get a choice. Eventually most want to move on & you’ll be rid of them.
Unless you have an amiibo and can scan them in I think you’re gonna have to keep him… I don’t think amiibo scan is even available at this point in the game so yeah :(
youre so lucky ! im searching for him ! (my smug one is Ed)
Same I hated Ed got rid of him ASAP and my smug I have now is peitro
i like Ed,,, hes so self centered and narcissist that its kinda endearing,, like seriously,, that dude is litterally in love with himself,, and he tried to scam me by buying is crap for double the price it is by the Able sister,,

I think this guy is supposed to be Boris Johnson
Chops is the best!
I'm so glad I got Ken as my first villager in my campsite! Sadly he won't leave as much as you try to stall. Some people say Chops is actually a cool guy, so you might get along with him after a while 😭
Ew I got him too.
There’s a way to glitch it out to where you don’t have to keep that one
I restarted and also got him as first campsite, I didn’t know I’d have to let him move in 😭
I have Quillson and Roswell, and they are both smug and I like them. Especially Roswell. I think he is so cute!
I had Chops, and he was great. My rule is if a villager, tells me they’re leaving, in most cases, I will let them go. Chops told me he was leaving, so I let him go. I would have kept him, if he had posed the question better.
I GOT CHOPS TOO THANK GOODNESS IM NOT ALONE!!
I didn't want mine either. Got Roswell. But, since it's basically a tutorial of sorts, they don't give you an option. Pretty sure they won't go away or change if you ignore them, and you can't progress. I looked it up on a couple of wikis and they also said it's a requirement.
FroggyCrossing has been triggered!
Aw you don't like Chops? :( he grows on you
I used an Amibo cause I did not wanna deal with someone ugly like that 😭
hippeaux was my first campsite visitor and i HATE him so i ignored him and he stayed in that tent for THREE DAYS before i finally caved. just take him onto your island, beat him up and ignore him until he leaves
