Animal Crossing: New Horizons NPC spawn rates discovered

Leave it to dataminers to dig up the details we want. Wondering what's up with the NPCs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Want to know when to expect their arrival on your island? Dataminer Ninji took a deep dive into the game and came up with the following info.

- every week, players are guaranteed to get Saharah, Kicks, and Leif on one weekday (Mon-Fri) each

- this will happen so long as the Able Sisters tailor shop has been built

- the remaining two weekday slots will be randomly filled by Gulliver, Label, CJ, Flick, or Redd

- special characters which did not get picked for the current week will be given a higher priority for the following week

- Celeste will appear on days where Meteor Shower weather patterns are present, separately from the other special characters

- Wisp will pick a random day of the week to appear

Of course they don't give you details on how to reach her/him/it.  Typical!

In more serious news (well, a bit more serious at least): I bought a grand piano yesterday for an eyewatering 260k bells.  Today they have a piano to place against a wall in classy white for about a fifth of the cost.  Damn you RNG!  Damn you Nooks!

I bought a spectacular kimono stand for 220'000 that ruined me as the only money I have left is in turnips

Looks like Redd is going to be visiting me soon then because I haven’t seen that guy in weeks now.

I had someone visit my campsite today. A wooly mammoth! I managed to convince him to stay, but Curlos had to move out. I had no option to chose anyone else. Curlos, you will be missed, you crazy sheep.

I’m kind of curious as to how this works as well. Before some of my residents would tell me that they were thinking of moving and I’d usually just tell them to stay. Now they don’t tell me that anymore and a guest that I had a little while never gave me the option to ask if they wanted to live on my island.

You basically keep pestering them untill they ask you to play a game to help them decide if they should move in or not. If you win they'll pick an animal that will need to move out to make room. You can't ask for anyone else, let alone pick yourself. I have 2 villagers I'd like to be rid of, but Curlos was cool. Sob.

Well I can certainly pester them. That shouldn’t be a problem then. LOL

Went to Travos house and its still a one room hobo house. La, his wife says he plays PS. So what rooms do you guys have in your house? Proud of anything in particular? I set up a dark lava room that is turnip free. I made an American diner which is cool. Also set up a basement kimono tailor shop today. Pretty cool robe designs in this game, they are my weakness. Outside I have this flea ridden apes house. I set up a squat toilet for him outside with biohazard sign and ants crawling about.

Also upgraded my upstairs Asian room with gold screen wall and imperial bed. Also got a giant bear that is as big as the monster statue. Oh and an astronaut suit.

Yeah, I have a resident from the family town of New Verdem as well.  Seeing as it was someone they bullied untill they left, it's not an animal with the most sparkling of personalities, and now I'm stuck with him.  Hrm

Well that’s pretty cool. Never thought that you could get residents that have lived elsewhere.

I thought getting all the fossils would take longer.  As of today, my fossil collection is complete.  Also, now that my house is completely paid off(thank you, scorpion Island!) I can focus on personalizing my town more.  I have 126,000 nook points to burn through.
