Plot Glitch PLS HELP

[meggtheegg]

So I have a glitched plot on my island now and i have no idea how to fix it.....

I pushed Hazel out via Genji's amiibo while TTed a few days into the future, traded her to someone, and then resynced my clock. i feel like in hindsight i should have continued TTing forwards until genji was moved in soundly instead of resyncing my system clock but here i am

upon resyncing my system clock and loading up my game, hazels house was there but locked and dark and with a message from genji upon interacting with the door (i didnt read the message bc i panicked) tted forward a few days and genji moved in fine, interacts with my island fine, but still has hazel's exterior.

so i figured i'd push his glitched plot out via another amiibo, and just push him back in. so now i just pushed him out with mathilda, TT one day forward, and the plot doesnt even go to sold, mathilda just instantly moved into it and is already unpacking boxes the next day? like just skipped the plot sold day? and still has hazel's exterior.... what the heck do i do to fix this. am i just cursed forever for genji to have hazel's exterior

This is a known glitch with all campers that occurs when you miss the "plot sold" day. TTing forwards and skipping the day, TTing backwards, or just playing naturally but not loading the save will cause the glitch.

Nothing bad has been reported from the glitch; it's just cosmetic. But the only way of "fixing" it is by moving Genji out, then inviting him back while properly moving through the days one by one.

Edit: Wait, sorry. I glanced over the last paragraph. Are you absolutely sure that you moved just one day at a time when moving in Mathilda?

Yeah i moved exactly one day forward at a time while moving in mathilda and she skipped right over plot sold. I was super confused when isabelle told me mathilda had moved in already. Im gonna try with another villager amiibo, going forward one day at a time, just to make sure i didnt mess up. But in 99% positive

if you don't load the empty plot (ie it doesn't render the plot bc you s&q too quickly) then it will glitch as well

Im about to push mathilda out tonight again to see if i can fix this issue, and youre welcome to have her for free if you have a plot open, but as i said in my original post her exterior in my game rn is hazel’s, i doubt the exterior would follow her to your game at all but idk

Sorry, my bad. This glitch has been reported a lot, but your case is the first where a glitch has persisted over three villagers, essentially (the original one with the exterior, the camper, and then another camper).

I'm not entirely sure how TTing works since I'm not familiar with it (and I think you use the system clock unlike previous games?), but I'd suggest to make sure to force out the villager, save and exit the game entirely (don't just stay in the game), then TT. Then go back in the game to the "plot sold" day, confirm that the plot is empty, save the game, exit out, etc. I think I've seen some people TT while the game is still loaded; I'm not sure if that changes things.

The AC day begins at 5 a.m. in case you weren't already aware, in case that's messing something up. If all else fails again, you can maybe try going hour by hour to move into the "plot sold" day?

Yeah you have to save and exit the game entirely every time when TTing otherwise it doesnt work. So this is something i already do. I really thought replacing with another camper and making sure not to skip the plot sold day would work, and i was so confused to see mathilda immediately in boxes already.

Ill try another time, just in case i missed something, and then report back....

You're safe to adopt Mathilda out, at least. The glitch only affects the island of the campsite.

And yeah. That has worked for other people who have had the glitch, moving the villager out and then going day by day. The goal is to see the empty plot, essentially. So if you're definitely TTing day by day, then I'm not sure what's going on. It sounds like you're doing everything right.
