Glitches from the Adoption of Villagers

A different rep also told me to “google a walkthrough” LOL. I even included pictures and tons of details. Yeah, I’m sure a locked plot glitch is just a challenge designed for me to overcome!

I tried the fix but it didn't work for me at all. 
The new villager just moved in the empty plot. Might have to reset my town. Hopefully this issue is fixed very soon!

Update, I just tested this and even villagers kicked out by a naturally-occurring campsite villager (not an amiibo) glitch. It seems like anyone kicked out by the campsite, whether that’s from amiibo or not, becomes glitched.

oh my god
just... i don't even know what to say at this point. i want to have a job i can be that bad at and still keep my job. i get that they may not know the answer but the correct way to deal with that is "okay i'll submit a bug report to our team since that's CLEARLY A BUG" omfg

jeez. this is really bad.
my customer support person said that they "aren't seeing as anyone else experiencing this glitch"

I've also heard theories that this glitch is a result of moving in villagers from or to someone's island whose system time settings arent turned "on" to be in sync with internet time

did you tell them you're looking online on forums and stuff and that lots of other people are reporting the issue there?? it's not hard to google and find people with the issue, i'm sure it's reported on reddit too. this is bonkers

I stopped when they told me that they documented the bug.

I just made my report with Nintendo and was helped very nicely. As soon as I said I was experiencing an ACNH bug they said "The one where the new villager won't move in?" so at least this CS rep is helpful haha. They made the report, so fingers crossed it'll get fixed soon :x
That’s good news, at least! Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.
So is this glitch from using amiibo cards? Or is it only if you get the villager from someone else's island? I guess I'm not fully understanding what's causing this. Am I not safe to use my own amiibo cards for my own town at this point?

If the villager from someone else's island was forced out (either by a 10th amiibo villager moving in or someone that randomly appeared in the campsite), if you adopt them the plot for their house glitches.
ah, glad to know it's just from someone else's island. I mean that's still not good, but I'm relieved at this point I can at least use my own amiibo cards.

Okay sorry I’m kind of confused, this happens once you have 10 villagers and then invite someone to move in from the campsite right? This would create a glitched plot in my own town, and also cause problems for the person who is adopting that villager?
Oh nvm sorry I think I get it now. Wow I was about to invite someone in via amiibo too and I have 10 villagers, guess I’ll hold off on that. I wonder if it still happens if someone doesn’t come and directly invite the villager that’s getting forced out to their town. Like in past games villagers moving out could show up in friends’ towns who have talked to them in the past, I wouldn’t want one of my forced out villagers just happening to show up in a friends’ town if it would glitch

So I spoke to the guy that wrote that fix on discord, and yes, unfortunately, the fix really doesn't work 100% of the time. Also, I updated the original post to include that this also happens with normal random campers as some of you have found out on your own. Hopefully Nintendo patches this quickly with enough people reporting it. Everyone deserves to have their dreamies~

I want to try the fix since I got the same problem, but I don't want to lose any of my villagers. Asking about step 7 in the guide, is it safe to time travel if you don't talk to your favorite villagers? They won't move out unless you talk to them?

I'm also wondering if you can kick out the glitched villager with 2 houses with an amiibo? Would that fix it? I don't have amiibos here to try but if that works I might just get a pack of cards.

According to the one who originally wrote this guide, yes. They don't up and vanish anymore unlike in New Leaf. It would be nice if others could also confirm this, though.
Funny, in the original Wild World movie, this was a plot device. But I can see why people don't like it (me included).
