A villager still hasn't moved in days after asking them to move in?

[ElysiaCrossing]

So, I had gotten wendy from someone on the forums and when I know that I had secured her, I deleted one of my characters so that I could start plot resetting for her. She didn't show up the next day and I thought that she would just show up the day after. But she didn't. So I tt'ed until april 8th (i asked her to move in april 2nd.) and she still hasn't shown up... What do I do??

edit: if i asked wendy to move in the day molly moved out, would that cancel out wendy moving in because molly's house would be gone at 6am the next day?

I had that happen once. I never figured out what happened, but the villager never moved in. Did Resetti show up at all while you were picking up the villager?

no. we didn't have any issues at all. i even remember her saying that the next time we'd see each other she'd be a resident of my town.

if she doesn't move in, can i still get her from another person? or would i have to cycle to get her again?

If Molly was in boxes when you invited Wendy, and you had 10 villagers including Molly, I think that might mean Wendy wouldn't move in because you were full when invited her. A villager in boxes still counts >_<

It might be due to the player having their town still on the day where she is in boxes. If the villager hasn't left the original player's town, then it won't move in because it hasn't left their town yet. Check with the person and see what they say

I had 9 villagers including molly still being in boxes... then when molly moved out i was down to 8..

Oh no! That is awful! Especially when it happens with a villager like Wendy, she is my dreamie forever...

Even if the original town is still on the day, they're still moved out. If you try to go into the villager's house after someone has asked them to move to their town, they'll have a note on their door that says "moved out".

Typically it takes 3 days for a villager to move in to a new town, unless an event falls in between those days. A day for them to "officially" leave the old town, and a day for their plot to appear, and then they move in the next day.

Did any events happen on those days by chance?

Is your mailbox full? Weird question I know. You'll figure out why when it's empty.

When Maelle, my 10th and final villager, came to my town from the campsite, it took her about 2 or 3 days to move in.

This isn't true. I stay on "boxes" day in my cycling town for days sometimes, and the villager still moves into my main on schedule.

Well Molly moved out on April 2nd, I asked wendy to move in that same day. The only event following those days was bunny day, but that was about 3 days later... I Tt'ed all the way to april 8th and there was still no sign of Wendy's plot.

I'm pretty sure it was empty when she moved out...

I tt'ed about 6 days forward and there was still no sign of her...
