Plot Resetting?

[Bellrich]

Soo, I made a thread like this a while ago but I can't find it, so heck.

I just got Fauna, thanks to the amazing Crash. (Thank you so much, you're a very kind person)
I want to plot reset her, but it's been a really long time since I've done this so I forgot the ways of the plot reset. Anywho, onto the question.

So, after I got Fauna, I knew that it takes about 1 day for the villager to move in after you invite them. (Thanks to Crash again) I set the time to 5:58 am on that day on my mayor and then saved the game very quickly. That way, it would be the next day when I load up the new save. (A new day starts at 6 AM) However, when I made the new save file, Fauna's house was already set up and would not move. (Luckily, its not in a bad spot!)

I want to know what I did wrong so I don't mess up next time. Thank you!!​

Maybe it's because you loaded onto your mayor when you changed the time. Their house plot becomes permanent when you load onto your mayor. I personally use the other plot resetting method.

Start game with a new file on the day the villager is to plot.
Find plot, if liked go through the registration with Isabelle.
If not turn 3ds off without saving. Then repeat till house is where you want.

I never did that loading up with the mayor first, it's always too easy to make a mistake. On the day I know a villager is moving in, I always start off with a new character.
I'm not sure what the problem could be, unless you made a mistake with the timings perhaps? For firture, I would just start a new save file on the day, wouldn't even bother to load up with the mayor first

Oh, I thought it wouldn't matter because i loaded on a day when she wasnt gonna come in yet? Also, I tt'd to the next day because im too impatient to wait until the next day irl XD
Still a bit confused, but probably because im an idiot.

Maybe I should change the time via 3DS settings?

Yes that's how I do it! Changing time in the settings is the only way I know how to do it and it seems to be the safest route.
