Okay. So after someone moved out, and I was left with 8 villagers, I was expecting someone to move in. I started doing the reset method. I would fast-forward day by day to 5:59am, save on my mayor character, and then create a new character to check for plots. I did this for 3 days and then on the 4th day, after I created a new character, Rocco had already moved in. I couldn't have missed his plot, it's in a wide open space. Did I do something wrong?
