Glitches from the Adoption of Villagers

[lucydiamondz]

So, up until this point I've scanned 3 amiibo cards and they all moved into my town successfully with normal house exteriors. However, I just scanned Rosie's card and forced Sprocket out of his plot for her to move in to. On the in-game day I did this, he went into boxes without problem. I then time traveled back a few days and noticed his house exterior was still present, but Rosie now lives inside. I can interact with her fine, but the exterior is glitched. Wondering if this overall glitch has something to do with time traveling. Additionally, Isabelle never gave the announcement of Rosie moving in.

Did you have Rosie fully move in before you TT'd back? Or TT'd back when Sprocket was in boxes? I am curious if it still glitches the exterior/interior if you have the amiibo character fully moved in after forcing someone out first.

Yeah, I just said that at the top hahah, you wanna basically kick them out organically without any amiibos or such. That’s the only way to completely reverse the bug.

Oops sorry! Do you know if you have to cycle through a certain amount of villagers to reinvite one back to your town, like in New Leaf?

No, Rosie was not fully moved in. This seemed to be what triggered the glitch to happen. I know for a fact though that if the amiibo character is fully moved in, they won't glitch if you TT back or forwards.

You can invite them again directly after letting them go.

So, happy update! The fix worked for me, and I'm back to 10 villagers and no glitched plots or duplicate houses. I basically followed the guide, though with some little differences, so for the record I'm still gonna put up what I did:

-Skye's house was glitched

- I used Nook miles to find Twiggy on an island and had her move in

- Twiggy occupied Skye's original house AND the empty plot, so 2 houses belonged to Twiggy at this point

- I used a villager (Gladys) that naturally occurred in my campsite that then moved into Twiggy's house. This left 2 empty plots in the meanwhile.

- I used Nook Miles to recruit a 10th villager to test if none of the empty plots were bugged anymore, but everything went as it should have and my 10th villager (Renee) moved in normally.

I still hope Nintendo releases a fix for it, but at least this worked for me. I hope y'all can get rid of your glitched villagers, too! ;;

Did skye end up moving in or no?

Just had this happen to me. The weird thing is that I saw the character's name initially when the plot was sold. The day after, it showed that blank. Does fixing it take long and a lot of TTing? I'm so bummed out about this.

Anyone know the result of amiibo kicking these glitched villagers?

Yeah this is basically what happened to me with Goldie- I ended up inviting another villager from the campsite (in this case Wolfgang) and kicked Goldie out, and then I kicked Wolfgang out with Goldie and her house exterior was fine this time.

Wait, so repeating the cycle twice fixes it?

Let me get this straight.

You had a glitch villager (2 homes)

Scanned the amiibo(we’ll call this amiibo 1), kicked the glitched villager out.

You had the amiibo 1 villager with the glitched exterior.

Used another amiibo (we’ll call this amiibo 2) to kick amiibo 1 villager out

So now amiibo 2’s takes over amiibo 1’s glitched exterior?

Cause from what I’ve heard if you try and kick out a glitched villager using amiibo will ultimately put them in a state where they never move in. It just says they’re in the process of moving in no matter what.

Please confirm when you can, thanks.

Does anyone know what the shortest time frame for organically kicking a villager out is without amiibo to avoid the glitch? This assumes you are hitting constantly with the net, avoiding, push in holes, etc.

 

[StarryTumble]

just wanted to share this guide that helps to move out villagers super fast. hope it helps someone.

For anyone using this guide, do you know if you have to TT 15 days again once you get a villager who wants to move out but it's one you want to stay? I feel like none of my villagers have been wanting to leave after one of them tried. orz

Yep, you need to restart the cycle.

May I ask how you got that guide to work?

Do you save between each TT day after the 15?

Thanks

Ah no wonder no one has been wanting to leave anymore LOL.

I am saving between the days. So after the initial 15 day timeskip, I check every day to see if any villagers wanna leave. I do a quick scan around. If no one has the bubble, I save and close app and TT +1 day. And even though it will be rarer, you can have villagers want to move out in the rain. Rod wanted to move out while it was raining.

Have you initiated any sort of convo with the villager you’re trying to make leave?

It seems random honestly. I didn't have much a method but talked to everyone just so that they wouldn't need to get reacquainted with me after 2 weeks and activate the bubble right away. Most of my villagers were free game to leave though so it went quickly for me.

Sorry for the double post. Has this happened to anyone yet?

My bugged villager was to be my 10th resident, so I needed to make someone else from my town leave. I was able to do that and got someone in my campsite and had them move into my town. He did not move into the bugged plot though and just moved where the last resident used to live. So I still have my bugged plot.

Is my case a lost cause. Could I try again by having another villager leave? This is incredibly frustrating as I have been trying for hours to try fixing this. I hope a fix comes along soon.

You’re basically trying to hit the bugged villager.

 

[StarryTumble]

Right. Is it just random that a villager move into the bugged plot? I'm trying again right and trying to get someone else to move out. Just wanting to make sure that it's still possible to be able to fix it.

No, I meant, stop kicking people out. You want to kick out the glitched villagers.

Hi all, hope some light can be shed on this situation.
Recently Shari moved out from my town, and Fang moved into her plot through the campsite (not amiibo). He then moved out on his own, and someone came over to adopt him. However, the person ended up with Shari's plot which became stuck in their town, apparently the house says that Shari has moved out, and she is there on Resident Services.
Anyone experienced this before/know of a fix?

 

[StarryTumble]

None of the villagers are glitched. The issue I'm having is that no one I'm getting to move in is moving into the bugged plot so I can then kick them out. The villagers that end up moving in just move into the normal empty plots while the bugged one remains untouched.

So the villager that was supposed to move in is Wolfgang. He was going to be my 10th resident. His plot glitched out and did that "__'s new home" thing.

I was using the workaround guide but since I had 9 villagers already, I needed to make someone else move out. I had Dora move out. I went ahead and did that so I could have 1 empty plot and then the bugged plot.

I then got a villager to move in through the campsite/island tour (I did both since I had tried doing this twice already). So I get Patty to move in via island tour. According to the workaround, she should have moved into the bugged plot, right? Patty moved into what was Dora's plot (the non-glitched plot). Wolfgang's plot remains.

I got this to happen twice so I was wondering if it's just a coin toss whether the new villager ends up moving into the bugged plot. Or is this a case where I can't do anything about the bugged plot?

i really hope everyone who has this going on is reporting their situations to nintendo. this HAS to be fixed ASAP. i keep praying that it's fixed before my amiibos come in the mail in a few days but i sincerely doubt it lmao
