PLEASE help - Dreamie moving out

She said that because I tapped in Lopez and told him to move to my town but it was full so he replaced Merry.

Huh, that is super weird then - I don't have any amiibo access so I didn't get Flo in with amiibo nor did I move anyone else in. I got her from someone else who ammibo'd her in, but I doubt that would have any effect once she's in my town-

Dragging this back up because I have another question!

The tenth villager requires collecting them from someone else, i.e some form of online play, yeah? Is there a rule like this for the ninth villager if the tenth has been obtained? See, I just got Bill to move out and my original plan was to put Stitches in his place - literally since I want their houses to be in the same spot, but would a ninth move in without me having to go online to get one? So I can relax with furiously lurking on the Villager Trading Plaza and use the ninth (and eighth) spot for my cycles? I have other villagers I am okay with moving out and I know the last one to move in rarely pings, but having both the ninth and eighth spot cycling with ones I don't care much for without having to actively collect them would be a big help for me.

I didn't see anyone reply to this, so if you're still looking for the answer, yes, if you have 8 villagers the game will give you a random 9th even if you never go online. Sometimes it takes a few days, I've heard of people that went with 8 for more than 10 days. But someday the 9th will come for sure. If you don't want to start everyday plot resetting so their house doesn't ruin everything (it's a pain...), I'd advise you to quickly adopt a 9th villager, at least this way you can choose who they are and where they'll go, since you'll know when to plot reset.

Once Bill moves out I'll be sure to set out the paths and like the up for where I'd wanted Stitches to go when I do finally get him. That'll give villagers who are moving in two places to go - the Stitches plot or the Flo plot. The rest of my town is covered with my flag atm aha. It's a right mess but it's handy for plot resetting. Thank you for the tip!
