Glitches from the Adoption of Villagers

[Relicum_]

So just to be clear, can I still get this glitch even if I don't play online and just invite a villager over through my amiibo card?
This is scaring me.

No, the person with the glitch is the person who adopted a villager from another person, who kicked out the villager using an amiibo or campsite villager. So if you just use amiibos yourself, it should be safe.

No, don't worry. It only happens if you adopt a villager from another player. Amiibos from your campsite straight to your island are 100% safe.

I guess I should make it clearer in the original post, huh?

part of me wants to buy some amiibo cards just to see if i get my dreamies since we shouldn't adopt from others rn but i think that's about as likely as doing islands for them lmao,,,

Okay, I know this is probably obvious or already stated but I am nervous about doing a trade with someone right now and I just want to triple triple check:

This is verified to not be an issue if the person does not force the villager out through amiibo, right? Like if they TTed just to cycle them out WITHOUT using Amiibo, would it still be a valid trade?

Also I am wondering if it is possible to tell if someone did use Amiibo (because you know, some ppl are kinda dishonest, especially when it comes to really big ticket villagers...). I feel like it could be obvious because the amiibo'd villager is still in the campsite the day that the amiibo'd-out villager is in boxes. Is this true or am I remembering it wrong?

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.

so it seems like campsite in general? whether amiibo or not. i'm not sure about the rest, though, esp of villagers who already live there and whatnot. as for being able to tell if they're amiibo or not i honestly have no clue

Yes, naturally move through TTing is fine. An easy way prior to trading is to ask them to take a screenshot of the villager with thought bubbles/asking to move out.

I assume this will naturally push amiibo card villagers to be a little more valuable for the time being due to them not being able to be instantly churned out for adoption.

Wish this post came out earlier since I owe people 4 Ankhas practically. It really does seem like a glitch than a checksum considering all campsite villagers can glitch out.

However, if anyone is willing to risk a plot to test TT’ing as a possibility to break the game PM me.

Your odds are not terrible with the island. I have been going to islands and then adopting high tier villagers to then sell for more nook mile tickets. Pretty slow, but it does work.

 

[Licorice]

Is the void still a thing in this game? I have moved out villagers using my amiibo cards and I would feel terrible if someone got them on accident anyway but especially if their plot is going to be glitched.

... i don't know why i never thought of that. you're a genius omg, thank you so much!! so adopting villagers out this way does not cause the house glitch then since it's not campsite related? i also have to figure out how to get them to leave too >_<

 

[MateosOTI]

So it seems like the fix is working for me, got a villager with two houses now, but I kinda don't know how to get one specific villager to move out, any further tips beyond the ones in the guide?

CeciliaCrescent, do you mind if I take what you wrote with credit and post it on another forum website (Animal Crossing Community)? I'd like to get the message to as many people as possible.

Oh, it wasn't originally from me. As I've mentioned in the original post, I got most of the info including the steps on the fix from someone named Barnse in the AC discord server. I did add and clarify a few things that I've learned in this forum though. If you ask me personally, you should just spread it freely, no need to credit me since it's basically third hand information and the whole point is to get this information out to people and prevent any heartaches.

Alright, thank you!

How can we report this bug to Nintendo?

 

[Khaelis]

My guess is that villagers being forced out by Amiibo are losing their data attached to them, so when invited they appear as 'null' on the player's island. Basically interacting and inviting an empty husk.

 

[Wolfgirl786]

Note on the fixing method It can also work to convince a villager from the campsite to move in instead of looking on an island

 

[BMXninja]

I got Henry to move into my glitched plot and another plot. Can I make him move out with amiibo, or do I have to do a lot of tting?

 

[Corrie]

This is absolutely horrible. I really hope they fix it soon!!

 

[CeciliaCrescent]

Updated the original post to include some information reflected in this thread such as the US Nintendo hotline and the confirmation that inviting via the campgrounds instead of islands is also viable in the fix.
