Guide: How to reset "I've moved out" plots and/or move any villager out!

I think it showed up for me, but to be honest I didn't paid so much attention to it as I skipped as fast as I could through the opening just to get into the game real quick and check out if the plot was gone. :/
Okay wanted to check as I really want to get rid of the glitch

Yeah, I also made that mistake at first. I kicked out first Lucky (as he wanted to move out), used then the free NMT my alt character got from Nook to get quick a new random villager from a Mystery Island (it was Al), TTing till said villager was fully moved in and then started with following the guide. Took me about 5-8 minutes and the problem was solved. Good luck!

I double messed up
 
ahhh how many days does it generally take to get a specific villager in question to move out, in your experience @alget ? asking because i am on day 23 of TT forward one by one and i've only actually seen one single thought bubble, on a villager i wanted to keep, the whole time? ackk 😅

Te same villager over and over could mean that at some point while you were looking for villagers it autosaved and kept that one villager as the one that will always ask to move out. The reason you try to avoid autosave is to have it re-roll who's moving out each time you TT forward.

I'd give it a shot again! Make sure you talk to everybody before starting this method to reset the "I haven't talked to you in at least 7 days" comment when you get back into the game.

I was able to take anybody out in less than 30 minutes each time (average around maybe day 10?). At the end of the day it's a 10% dice roll that (technically 11% if we're assuming villager #10 doesn't get to move out) the one you want will move out. My girlfriend was able to take out 5 villagers she wanted to rotate for her dreams in one day.

Best of luck!
 
It worked for me, villager 10 doesn't work, so I had to do this twice and it took me 45 minutes to get a villager out, put a villager in that plot, then do the whole process again

thanks a bunch ! it didn't autosave bc a new villager had the bubble next time i saw it. i think i'm just rly unlucky and sly just hated my guts, lmfaoooo. i ended up force switching who was moving the next time i saw the bubble with the [reset villager method] and lo and behold, he was the next one. all's well that didn't start well 😝
 
Thank you so much for posting this! My plot is empty now!
 
Ok so question about the whole TT to fix the “I moved out “ glitch.

if I go forward in time to fix this, after it’s all said and done, the glitched plot is back to just ropes, the “moved out” villager is gone, CAN I go back to playing in real time.? Or do I have to keep playing in a time traveled timeline basically ? Thank you. Sorry if this question is confusing.

The plot is not purchased yet when the glitched plot resets. However, if you time travel back to the past, it counts as you going forward one day. In that one day it is possible that someone may purchase that plot.

So if that's not a big deal to you, you can time travel backwards to present time and there will be no repercussions. If you want to avoid that, I would get a villager you want to purchase the plot first (island hopping, amiibo, purchasing from somebody else) AND then time travel back.

There are no repercussions for time travelling in ACNH as opposed to New Leaf where somebody could just up and move out without you knowing.

Yeah no that’s fine if the villager is gone, I can get them again that’s not a problem. I’m just basically wanting to know is if I unsync my clock on the switch ( so I can TT) and then I fix this glitch am, able to RE sync my clock and start playing again on the present day. As in right now lol. Instead of a few days in the future on the game clock.

Yep you're fine! Although time traveling back to present day would reset the day (Nook-miles and villager plot wise). However, the stuff on sale in store would be the same and your villagers would have been talked to already.

holy crap it worked!! BUT when I jumped the month and a day, there was another NEW villager who moved into her space. Now do I just have to TT forward to try and get rid of someone to get a new villager that I had before ?
 
Did the autosave icon come up when Isabelle was loading because that is happening to me and is worrying me as I am trying to fix the glitch

This will happen to recognize it as a new day. You only need to worry about autosaving once you leave your house which is the 2-3 minute marker noted in the guide. You'll be okay if you look for that one!
 
Hi. I have a few questions.
I've tried doing this method before, as I saw the same thing posted on Discord. I've been trying to kick my newest villager for the past few DAYS doing this method. Hours wasted. Are you supposed to get an Isabelle announcement when you TT one day forward after backpedaling? Or does that mean it autosaved and I have to restart? Should I be exiting from my house every time?

Also, If it isn't a problem, then is it impossible for your newest villager to want to move out with this method? I've tried resetting multiple times, going years then back. Many variations of many other methods including this one.

You should get an announcement every day as long as its new. So when you TT back a month you will get an announcement for that day, and so on and so forth as you TT forward to get your villager out.

Please keep in mind this method will not work on villagers who are the newest to move in. They have to have someone move in after them for it to work.

I don't get announcements when I TT a month back. TTing backwards only counts a pseudo day so you don't get an Isabelle announcement, or at least in my experience. TT forward makes sense though. Thanks for letting me know it doesn't work on the newest villager haha I can stop wasting my time with Patty for now then...

So... everyone that claimed they were able to move their newest villager didn't?

Not sure if I got one the first day when I went back but if you don't get them going forward in time its best to start over. Hopefully you can move things around some to get Patty out soon!!
 
I can't figure this out.

1. Talk to everyone
2. Jump 1 month 1 day
3. Enter game, save
4. Go back exactly 1 month
5. Quickly look for thought bubble to boot someone. If are person you wanna leave, talk to them. If you dont, exit game without saving. Move forward 1 day and repeat.

Am I missing something? Not 1 character has a thought bubble
