‼️ NEW VILLAGER MOVE IN GLITCH ‼️

urally and then i got lily as a random move-in and got excited because i love lily, but now her house just says she moved out and i can't do anything about it. a friend of mine suggested that moving the villager's house fixed it for someone else, but for me lily doesn't show up on the list of
Oh man this is really scary, luckily nothing has happened to me yet but I'm afraid to kick anyone out now!
 
This isn't good. I started the process of scanning an amiibo card to visit my campsite last night, my plan was to have the amiibo villager Diva replace Pashmina. I think I'll abandon this plan now until all this is fixed.
 
Today, Wolfgang asked to move in my town (even though he's a villager I acquired from the islands). I really wanted to trade him for Zucker, but I decided to make him stay for the time being as I'm just too scared about all these glitches.
 
I have a slightly different issue, had Rhonda asking to move out naturally (no TT/amiibo involved). Got too excited and I tried TT for the first time, to two days forward just to have the plot emptied which I managed to.
However when I TT back to the current day and time, the plot got occupied by Pietro without me doing anything. Conversation with Pierto on the next day tells me that he moved from another player's island.

I had never met Pietro on mystery islands before but I did visit some other islands online for trades. Which I assume it came from their void?
Now I am stuck with 10 villagers with no way to meet new ones anymore.

I'm so sorry this happened to so many of you! :( Hopefully we can bring enough light to the issue and Nintendo is diligent about fixing it.

I personally adopted Diana and Julian yesterday from a kind soul around here and I didn't run into any of the bugs (though I was very scared I would). I was at 7 villagers, so maybe that has something to do with it? Perhaps this only happens when you have 9 or 10?

Yes, this tends to happen when you have 10 villagers and you force another villager out
 
Yeah, seems to be the case. So sorry this happened :(
It didn't happen to me at least I hope it won't, I forced my villager Maple out for Marshal who was in my campsite as a visitor (He wasn't an amiibo) I'm afraid that because I'm forcing Maple out the glitch will happen to me!

Oh apologies, I misread the thread. I guess we can only hope you don't run into the glitch!
 
I saw this on reddit and I guess it's happening with villagers moving out naturally as well. It seems to be that if you are able to ask the villager to move in more than once, that this will happen, as everyone who has this glitch has been able to ask the villager to move in more than once (at least in the reddit thread). If you're going to adopt a villager, see if you can ask them more than once to move in. If you can, then reset immediately (without saving). This seems to at least fix it so that you and the other person do not get a glitched plot. You won't get the villager, and they'll be voided, but it's better than having a glitched plot.

Oh god, this happened to me just today -- my friend got Lily in boxes for me and after I convinced her to move in, I spoke to her again and went through the same dialogue. I really hope she doesn't end up with a glitched plot, she did this specifically for me because she got her hands on a Lily amiibo and knows how much I love her 😭 😭 😭
 
Let's not put too much blame on Nintendo, their games have always been ridiculously polished but bugs are always difficult to exterminate entirely, ESPECIALLY for such a complex game as this and ESPECIALLY so early after release.

I'm sorry for everybody who got this bug, and hope they will fix it soon. They have been really effective with updates lately.

Just remember that the people who work on this game are also human, and not infallible. It's a very harsh work environment, especially in Japan. All we can do is help them along by reporting these issues and trust that they want to create a good experience for all of us.

But we are not beta-tester... we payed for a completed game, It's a shame that a game came out with these issues.
Remember when old games were released without any trouble?
btw i agree with you, with education we need to report the bug.

Anyways i adopted Flora and she is fine, 🥰 tomorrow is the turn of Cranston... fingers crossed...! 🤞


EDIT: the bug was already reported here:

No game has been released without bugs. Ever. And Nintendo, in comparison with western game companies, are incredibly thorough with their polish. Why? Because in Japan, people literally work themselves to death. All that polish has a cost, and I want people to remember that.

I'm not saying that we should just accept game-breaking bugs like this, certainly not! Just that we need to remember that game developers are also people.

I don't mean to sound harsh or anything and I'm definitely not attacking anybody in this thread, you have a right to be upset, I just want to issue a reminder that perfect polish has it's cost. 😊

It's already incredibly bad in western game companies, and those games are riddled with bugs. There is a culture of "crunch" in the game dev world, that is, you are expected to work overtime with no pay. If you don't, you'll get fired.

Trust me, I know, I work in the industry. It's not a dreamworld. A perfect game has it's cost.
 
You can find nintendo's support info here but it seems their business hours are closed rn :( their text hotline if you live in the states is 425-970-9648
Nintendo's customer support line is open 6 AM to 7 PM PST. I'd recommend calling since the chat and SMS lines tend to get pretty busy, but SMS is the best if you're planning on doing other things that day. Just keep in mind that you won't receive a response outside of business hours.
 
This also happened to me but It was with tia and fang. Went to go pick up fang and moved a day for him to move in. Then went to go check tia only for her pop up to say she moved out when she gave no indication that she was moving...I hope they fix this tbh. I keep tting but the plot remains there with the same dialogue

You are right to this point, japan works are always been polished, my concern was about to defend these even if they've got some problems = "it's fine if a game is released with bugs/glitches, they can always fix". This is a bad mindset, a game must be free from flaws, as much as possible. Take more time to develop it if necessary. ^__^

Anyways even if I would have preferred a game without these flaws, I'm nicely surprised how fast they are working to fixing!

Yes of course, but the game is nearly perfectly polished as it is!! This current bug is a very complex and specific one. It'd be another story if there were bugs all over, but as it is, the game is like 99% perfectly polished. Again, not saying we should just accept it, just to excersize some compassion and understanding. Ever played a Bethesda game? ... o_O
