Glitched Game -invisible villager house

Wow, just read through this whole thread. Do any of the villagers say "Oh someone new moved into town, I'll go visit them later". I presume they wouldn't say that though.
I hope Nintendo patch it though.

The villagers never mention him at all, he doesn't exist in my game as a character.
Dizzie was kind enough to donate her Wolfgang to science. I invited him to move into my town and he accepted. Next day I got a letter saying he was not going to move in. It did not trigger the invisible Wolfgang house to appear.
I want to publicly thank Dizzie for dedicating her time and Wolfgang at the slim chance it might fix my game. I really, really appreciate it. Sadly it did not work though.
Looks like I am completely out of options other than restarting my game, which I refuse to do! Instead I will dedicate my town to the invisible house 
It has also been several days and none of my villagers have asked/talked about moving. By now usually one would want to move. I am starting to think that no one will move out either!

That's a bit of a bummer / kind of a blessing as I seem to remember you saying you had nearly all your dreamies. (or am I being dumb and confusing you with someone else?)
On the other hand, it did occur to me randomly earlier today that if this is a digital copy and you backed it up before this glitch occurred you can apparently delete your town and then put the save back onto your SD card to continue playing from the back-up. ~ as deleting your town means it can't do the last played date check anymore which causes your back-ups to fail if you load the town again.
I've never tried it before so I can't promise that would work ~ and it relies on you needing to have a backed up digital copy beforehand, but if this is a possibility for you I would be willing to attempt this on my spare town to confirm if it would work or not before you try for you. - will just have to wait a little bit for my friend to collect a villager from that town.

Sadly, I cannot even attempt that solution because I have the physical game card. I think that there would have been more chances for my game to be fixed if it were digital. Digital games have the repair tool, but the physical game does not

Hey on the bright side you could become a famous town.
Make your town horror-ish and then base it of the story I wrote (check it out peeps
)
And then you could be a famous town!!!

Wow, this was an interesting thread to read. I'm sorry about your glitched town, although it does make it very unique! I admire that you aren't going to restart over it.
To me, it almost sounds like Wolfgang isn't even in move-in limbo technically. Only because, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, you should be able to send mail to a villager who has a plot up. I think this is what I did before Mira moved in. Although the villager conversations and such sound like he's about to move-in... very weird.
I hope you're able to get a fix for this issue but I understand being pessimistic about Nintendo doing anything about it. Like you said, it's going to be hard to get the attention of the Animal Crossing developers for a bug that only affects one person so far, and was discovered nearly a year after launch. Not to mention the devs are part of Nintendo of Japan, and you're contacting a different division for the problem. Maybe try posting on the official Nintendo forum as well; while you probably won't get a solution, it might help with some exposure for your problem. Good luck! I'll be checking out your town as well.

Hey, um...
Just so you know, I bet you were worried or concerned Wolfgang wasn't plotted to your town yet, so what you did I'm sure anyone else would of done.
If this happens to someone else it would be a big problem! I'm going to ask Nintendo about it today as well, and let them know this is a pretty horrible problem. I hope your town gets sorted out! What a bummer to have a perfect town have such a weird glitch -_-

This thread is about 5.5 months old, but I'm really curious as to what happened. Is your town still glitched?

Last I heard (which was a couple months after this thread died) they had kept the town and just accepted that no one can move in or out of the town. The glitch never solved itself.
They have a 2nd town anyway though.

A second town, and a town with an unique glitch that no one else on record have. All is well.

Is the Dream Code still legit? I might check this out. It can't mess up my town, right?
It will crash your game
But it is safe.

It will crash when you touch the house or open the sidebar on the map I think.

If you touch the plot where his house is on the map the game will crash
