So basically I connected online with my friend and got his rubbish void villagers. The plot hasn't been put down, but I can see that she's (it's Renee) is moving in without a doubt when I boot up a new character a couple days later. I'm still in the process of trying to get all my dreamies so this is really bad for me! Is it possible to override her pending move in with a fresh invite to another villager? Can I go into my friends town and invite over one of her moving villagers to void out Renee's forced move in?
Sorry for the really noobie question, I haven't played ACNL in so long that I don't remember anything. Thanks again! :lemon:

edit -
question has been answered. you can!

If I remember correctly, a fresh invite will have priority over Renee, but she'll still be lurking. Here's a suggestion, place paths all over your town so Renee can't move in. Once you have a dreamie ready to move-in, create a 3x3 space, and keep doing this with each move-in.

Edit: Whoops, I didn't see you had edited your post while I was typing this. Sorry about that!

I'm sorry to say, but this won't prevent a villager from moving in. You can use paths to force their plots into spots that you would like, but you can't stop villagers from moving in with them. If the entire town is covered, the villager will just move in over the paths as if they didn't exist.

I'm not certain, but I have heard that if you invite two villagers in the same day the most recent invite will take priority. So I would think that it would work the same in this case and if you invited another villager they would take priority over Renee. But I can't promise anything since I've never tried it myself. Of course, you would have to time travel to the last day you played when you accidentally picked up Renee.

Why don't you get a dreamie instead? I have Bea, Zucker and Diana's amiibo cards if you want me to scan one in for you?

I can confirm that worked!! I invited Admiral over to my town and it overwrite Renee's move in. I'm not sure if she'll be pushed in later but for now its all good! :lemon:

No problem, glad you got your dreamie sorted out! I've had villagers move in unwanted, it's not great :) :)
