"i've moved out" villager glitch!

[Sholee]

has anyone tried this:

"I've Moved Out" house disappeared!

So, I lost Audie to the newest glitch, heartbroken. I had someone who was going to give her to me, she agreed to move in but her in place, Lucky moved in. Immediately the next day it said that he had moved out but his house was still there. I had TT'd a couple of days and it didn't disappear...

Seems if you complain about the "moved out" villager to isabelle, their plots will disappear eventually?

This also happened to me - a friend used their nibbles amiibo to get me her, as she is a dreamie. She came to my town and was in boxes as per normal. Suddenly later in the day her house was inaccessible and it stated "I've moved out". TT did not fix it, nor did time progressing naturally. The villager appears in ceromonies, can be complained about. can have her house moved, and appears on the map as an icon but otherwise is nowhere to be seen.

Super frustrating as now nobody can leave and nobody new can join, and I had saved up nook miles tickets to island hop (which I really enjoy) but now I cannot.

I contacted Nintendo UK and they had a very underwhelming response (although I appreciate there is little they can do if they are not the correct team to deal with this):

I have heard that using an amiibo to kick out the glitched villager works, but I have no Amiibo. Also reluctant to lose Nibbles as she is a dreamie, and there is a chance the patch can save her (but unlikely based on last time).

If anyone has any further advice or support let me know. If there is also anything I can do to ensure a faster patch (is there anywhere else I can report this to?) let me know.

That's honestly all they can do when you reach out to them as they likely still don't have any troubleshooting steps or information about this glitch. They've documented it though which is really good as they need as much information on the glitch as possible in order to get it looked into and patched!

This has now happened to me. I kicked Chops out to make way for Merengue (Amiibo). Meanwhilez Gayle was in boxes, and I sold her for 10 NMTs. Merengue is building a plot, while Gayle's house still stands.

I was hoping to go villager shopping on an island, but no luck.

This was also responded to by a mod from Nintendo here: https://en-americas-support.nintend...moved-out-animal-crossing-new-horizons-glitch

I am not in the USA so cannot report via this means but I recommended everyone who is does

Hey! Finally made an account to say I have run into the same problem as of yesterday (also with Julian), and nothing has worked to fix it on my end either. _( :'3」∠)_ Here's to hoping it gets resolved soon without losing the villager this time.

 

[ChrisNewLeaf]

Anyone have any updates on this? Has been since Sunday and lots of people now getting this, but still not seeing any major websites reporting on it and many think it was fixed based on a previous patch. It definitely dampens to game to have a villager missing/not to be able to hunt on nook miles island for new villagers.

Nope, O'Hare is now my resident cryptid, still can't talk to him directly

 

[tajikey]

Okay, so I think I fixed my situation. To recap, it was Merengue's third day on my campsite, while at the same time, Gayle was in boxes. I invited Merengue, requested Chops get chopped, and then sold Gayle for 10 NMTs.

The next day, Chops and Gayle are gone, but Gayle's house (and subsequent ghost) remained. Fast forward 3 days, and Jeremiah is in his third day in camp. I invite him, and see that kicking out Gayle is an option. I choose her without incident.

Since I don't TT, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens, but hopefully the problem is resolved.

 

[ChrisNewLeaf]

Yeah using Amiibo or campsite can fix it in theory, but not every has access to amiibo and for many the glitched villager is one they actually want sadly

 

[pocky]

Still no fix. Disappointed that the latest patch did nothing to mend this.

 

[maddycha]

bump, still no fix! have tried tt'ing, moving houses, reporting, etc. and julian has yet to come home :'(

 

[JoJoCan]

This happened to my friend, when he adopted my Bob.

 

[eminyan]

Yeah, this happened to me as well. ( Sadly, we'll have to wait till the next patch comes out and hopefully fixes this... This glitch not only applies to forced out amiibos btw

I recommend just waiting bc tting will just get rid of the plot, but you'll lose Julian unless you're okay with that.

apparently when someone else tt'd two days after the glitch, they were able to get their villager back! but i haven't seen it be repeated yet.
i think in new horizons tho villagers won't move out unless they talk to you first, but yeah i only tried briefly and it didn't work at all

oh really? I've been tting and my villager just doesn't seem to come back... I've heard more often that the plot disappears when tting though ><

and yeah, they don't move out UNLESS you tt a year or tell them to leave

I had this same issue and got no help from support. I tried maxing out my villager count to 10 with Amibo and it did fix the issue. It would seem your only option would be buying some Amibo cards (or fanmade cards/coins off Etsy).

 

[ChrisNewLeaf]

Still no fix for me either. Been a week now, I’m hoping there’s a patch tomorrow, starting to lose motivation to even play

 

[Ullaiin]

Just happened to me today! Bought Bob off of someone and instead Marshal moved in, however his house just says “I’ve moved” when I try to interact with it. I’ll mess around with TTing and complaining to Isabelle and see if it can be fixed. The seller is graciously sending me the Bob Amiibo so I can work things out if need be but I also want to a find a fix so I can share!

How do I deal with a glitched villager being in my void?
