Adopting villagers to a full island?

[thedeepestdaydream]

Is there a way to adopt a villager from another town when your island is full? One of my dreamies is in boxes on another island but she won't come over because my island is full! Please help!

no. you have to be able to place a plot down, and that's impossible when you have a full island.
