New villager kept old villager’s house exterior?

[irl Raymond]

So Audie moved out the other day and I welcomed Phoebe... her house is very fiery on the inside as it’s supposed to bek but the outside remained like Audie’s. Is there a fix? The nameplate on the house updated though and properly says “Phoebe‘s House.”

Did you TT to get this villager to move in? I have had this bug, and also replicated the bug to make sure I knew what was happening.

According to my experience: this bug happens when you TT backwards while your old villager is in boxes and your new villager is trying to move in. While moving forward in time only, this bug was impossible to replicate. Only moving backwards triggered the bug for me. So, what I did was only TT forward in time until my new villager had moved all the in. This worked for me 100% of the time.

As far as I know, there is not a way to change their exterior to the correct one without moving them out. But, it also seems like the villagers are fine to keep except the weird house exterior.

No, as far as I know, there hasn't been any backwards TT here. I've only moved forward!

This happened to me yesterday, I got Camofrog in boxes after inviting Pecan to move in. I TTed backwards and the house had not changed, but it said "Pecan" on the door while she didn't appear on the map. I TTed forward and it was fine, she was there, but kept the same house as Camofrog. It's reassuring to know it's a common glitch. I'll be more careful next time!

If you TT forward a day (or whatever) and then go back to the actual real time, then that’s considered TTing backwards. By going back to the actual date, you are still going ‘back in time.’

Yeah, it’s seems there a lot of instances of it online. You are definitely not alone on this.

Enjoy the new update!

So theoretically, we can have all 10 villager houses look the same?
