Nibbles the Peppy Squirrel has always been one of my dreamies since Wild World, so when a friend had her amiibo I jumped at the chance to adopt her. Said friend invited her to their town, and then later used another amiibo to get her out. I asked her to move to my town and she agreed.

At first everything was normal, she was on boxes and moving into my town. Later that night suddenly her house was blacked out. I could not enter and "I've moved out" showed up when trying to enter. After searching online I realised I had been the latest victim of a horrible glitch which still has not been patched since 1.1.4.

I tried everything - waiting a few days (this happened on the last Sunday, and even after almost a full week, no changes), complaining to Isabelle, holding ceromonies (of which Nibbles still attends), moving her house (which again she turned up for), and even writing her letters, which bizarrely she still replies to. Heck, she even congratulated me via letter on a house upgrade.

This is an awful glitch and it prevents any villagers from leaving or entering your town, which for those who love dreamies or villager hunting on nook miles island, can really dampen the game. I, and I'm sure many others, are anxiously awaiting patch 1.1.5 in hope that it will fix this, and with some luck, allow us to keep the glitched villager.

In the meantime to help me feel better about the situation I have created in game missing posters for Nibbles:

Feel free to download, or create your own for your own missing villager. Good luck to everyone experiencing this awful glitch!

Note: the only known solution is to force kick the glitched villager out via amiibo. Not ideal as in most cases the glitched villager is a dreamie.
 
Oh god you even made a sign for her RIP
I hope Nintendo finds a way to patch this bug cuz seeing people with it is just making me depressed

I hope Nintendo gets enough complaints about this that they're willing to patch it to begin with. This whole thing is getting ridiculous. I was thinking of buying amiibo cards of some of my dream villagers IF I can ever find lower price tags on them but now I'm discouraged to do because of the glitch. :(

I believe they've been trying to patch it a couple times now over the last couple weeks. Hoping to see a 1.1.5 patch early next week. Everytime they say they fixed it, it's evident they did not.
 
I had Nibbles in New Leaf and I loved her. This glitch needs to be patched soon, it is causing way too many heartbreaking stories 😢 For now, I think it would be best for everyone to not trade/adopt villagers until the glitch is patched. #SaveNibbles

I'd guess around Monday if it drops early in the week. Hopefully they find out what's causing the fixes not to work.
 
Thank you to everyone who posted in this and understood how horrible this was. I have managed to fix this by finding cheap amiibo. I used an Elmer amiibo to boot the glitched Nibbles, and then a Nibbles amiibo to get her back and now everything is back to normal.

Nintendo will likely patch soon, but they have taken a very long time on this one and it is affecting more and more people. I am happy for anyone with the glitch to contact me for advice etc. until then.

I will post some pics of Nibbles back in town and some more Nibbles QR later on.

Also I have some spare DIY - happy to give out to anyone who posted in this thread! Will put a list out later.
