People have been doing a lot of testing on this and it doesn’t seem TT related, TTers are just the only people who have gotten it because other people can’t trade yet.
To clarify, is this happening to the 10th villager for everyone, or any villager after the 6th villager? Maybe that information would be helpful to have too.

Adding on, does it seem to be related to villager adoption in particular? If so people should be cautious of adopting a villager for the time being.

for me, yes to both. it was my 10th villager and one that i adopted.
So a villager adopted from someone else or one that was move on with an amiibo?

I thought the OP said another island meaning an Island tour but I guess it could mean another player.
Which means it could also be related to TT'ing after adopting the 10th villager.
Is there anyone who was able to adopt the 10th villager successfully but that didn't TT?
hi all!! i'm crawling out of discord and into this ancient account of mine to share a fix that was discovered!
well... it's less of a fix and more of a reversion. and you won't have the villager you tried to have move in, in the end
but at least it frees up the plot, i guess. you end up with 2 empty plots

SOLUTION TO VILLAGER PLOT BUG
STEPS
1. Ensure you have 1 bugged plot (Lets say this belonged to Apollo) and 1 plot open to any resident (If you cannot place a plot you will need to get another villager to move out, this can be done quicker with Time Travel)
2. Go on an ISLAND TOUR (Randomly moving villagers does not fix, tested)
3. Find a villager on the island and invite him to your island (Lets say its Wolfgang). I'm unsure of the frequency/rarity of villagers on island, perhaps other means of villagers moving in such as amiibo work but this has not been tested
4. At this point Wolfgang will now move to your island and occupy the BUGGED plot, however his house will look like APOLLO'S house
5. In addition to this another house will appear in your town this one looking like WOLFGANG'S house. This house will not be enterable and upon trying to enter you will be told WOLFGANG is out
6. If you were to check your map it would look like this

7. Now you need to get *WOLFGANG (i.e the newest villager) to move out. This can be done with time travel quicker and do not worry, villagers will not move out without you being told by them themselves.
8. You will need to check that he is going to move out by visiting him, he will either ping you with a "!" and run towards you or will have a bubble above his head and a sad expression.
9. Upon WOLFGANG moving out both houses will disappear leaving 2 empty plots.
I STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PREVENT THIS GLITCH FROM HAPPENING OR WHAT CAUSES IT, HOWEVER WE DO NOW HAVE A MEANS OF REVERTING IT

tried this, doesn't seem to work for me :/
thank you so much for this!! ^^ i am going to try it out within the next few days to see if it works.
it’s definitely been reported on the nintendo support forums already, but apart from that, i’m not sure!
just wanted to give an update! since posting, the bug has sort of fixed itself randomly. someone eventually moved into the bugged plot, and spawned 2 houses (one of which had the design of the villager i initially invited, and the other an empty one). long story short, it was triggered by forcing an amiibo villager out inorganically. read more about it here: https://www.belltreeforums.com/show...-villagers-if-they-were-forced-out-via-Amiibo
fixing it (or waiting for anything to happen for that matter) took a lot of time and patience, but at least we now know how to prevent it. super random and inconsistent, definitely would not do again
(and yes, after almost 8 hours of TTing, i ended up getting the villager i wanted from a trade!)
