I'm not necessarily sure if people have seen this and there's a thread on TBT about it already, but this seemingly harmless glitch just happened to Bob's house!
So I was doing the time travel Campsite method to find Bob, and it worked. He said he would ask Flora to leave and that he was moving in. I then saved and ended, time traveled a week in advance so I could forego the Move out/move in process - i did NOT check in on Bob - then I saved, quit, and time traveled back a year to todays current date. When I went to check in on Bob, I first looked at them map, which had Bob's name and house located, but his face was GONE from the side list of villagers, it was just an empty house in the middle of my villager list. I freaked out a little bit and went to his house and it said it was Bob's House and he was out and about. I then Time Traveled a day forward to make sure the game maybe needed a day of forward travel to load the moving in, and sure enough Isabelle announced that Bob moved in. He was inside with his furniture in boxes.
Fast forward another few days and he is seemingly acting like a normal villager. Except his HOUSE looked familiar, so I did a little research, and he's living in Flora's old house, instead of his supposed house exterior. His furniture is his normal furniture, just the outside is not his.
Is there a fix to this ? I don't personally mind at all, just kinda curious if someone found a way to fix this glitch : P
{answer found, you need to let them move out, then invite them back in to fix!}

. Always TT forward during moves until you see their house plot and to be even safer another day when they're out and about.
He finally moved in but he was blank on the map and I legit freaked out thinking I’d glitched him permanently
