I really wish we could chose where villagers put their houses when they move in. I mean, we already pick where everything else goes.
Like, when the mayor character loads their file the first time that day, Isabelle lets them know that there is a new person who wants to move in and that you (the mayor) should pick where to live.Then you go to the town hall or something and talk with Isabelle, and then you do like you do with PWPs and pick a spot to put that house in. The villager could maybe have a preference on where they would like to live too Idk and then you can try to plomp the house down as close to their preference as you can or something.
I have been lucky so far with villagers who move into my town. They just destroy a few fruit trees; no path destroyed or terrible place picked. But I always feel sad when I hear about where some villagers move in their town. :<
