So I've been plot resetting for 5 hours now, I have the perfect spot for Maddie, it's a perfect place 3x3 open for her and every inch of my town besides that space is covered in patterns and items. The place I have for Maddie used to be filled by Snake so I know it's an actual working spot, I even went to Isabelle and saw I can build 3x3 Pwp's in that spot so there aren't too many houses in an acre... No matter what I do Maddie keeps moving on top of my paths and patterns and I just don't understand why. Sigh, I would upload pictures but I'm not at home currently so no internet. I just don't get it.
I feel your pain! Hopefully, you aren't like me and will give up and make it work, but don't give up! Also, I thought the update prevented villagers from moving on top of paths or am I remembering incorrectly?
Maybe you need to free up some space in town, have like 2-3 open 3x3 spots that the game can reset through. I know you said someone had a plot where you're planning on putting her before but villagers will only move on paths if there's no "space"... so many the game just needs another open area to trick it into recognizing the other area? If that makes sense? good luck!o
You need more than one space. If you have multiple characters, you have to log on to them as well before the villager moves.
Not a plot resetting expert lol
also! there can only be three buildings within a respective 16 x 16 area, so make sure your villager houses arent too clustered! the middle cell in the villager house's 3 x 3 size is the cell that the game looks at to make sure houses arent too close. buildings include: villager houses, character houses, retail, the campground, town hall, and police station! villagers won't plot in the same 16 x 16 area as the train station and plaza stone!
i had a big struggle with fang until i heard the 16 x 16 tip from someone and realized that the spot i left for him was in the same 16 x 16 area as boone, biskit, and the campground- meaning a fourth building couldnt be put down. i opened another space for him elsewhere and he moved there within 3 tries.
