Seeking advice for a weird situation with the campsite

[IslaYuka]

Hi

I have a villager in boxes now (Paula). Also for the first time in like 2 weeks there is someone in the campsite.

Now I really like the villager that is in my campsite and want to invite them. The thing is I'm scared for causing a glitch since there will be 2 villagers in boxes at the same time then if he switches with another villager then Paula.

How can I invite the campsite villager without causing some sort of glitch even though Paula is in boxes today? It would really suck if I couldn't invite the campsite villager, especially because it's been so long since I had a campsite villager that I like.... The most ideal would be if it's possible to let the campsite villager switch with another villager then Paula so I can have the campsite villager AND replace Paula with another.

Any advice? I can't find much about this on the internet so I really hope I could get some insight...

It might work if you had someone pick up Paula, then invited the camper, but TBH I've only ever heard of this glitching out. Depending on how rare the villager is, I'd see if you can't find someone who has them moving out so you can pick them up once Paula's plot is empty.

Oh that really sucks... I don't understand why they haven't fixed things like this yet. The villager I want to invite is Axel the jock elephant. I don't think he's rare or widely sought after but the chance I'll get him or another of my dreamies when Paula's plot is empty are small...

I don't think you need to fear a glitch if you don't TT and will play every day. I've only heard of glitches surrounding TT or when you don't play the day the villager moves in

I've never TT'ed and play every day. Though when a glitch would happen, I've read TT is necessary and I really don't want that. I really don't know what to do...

I don't see why you wouldn't do it! But I can't guarantee you anything at the same time

Last week I invited Bluebear from the campsite after having sold an open plot to Raymond, everything is fine

The thing is Paula hasn't moved yet and she's in boxes. So it's a different situation.
I'm a bit hesistant because I really don't want Paula to be glitched lol.

Yes I understand it's different, but my point is I never heard of glitches in your situation!
But ultimately it's your call/risk

I had the same situation when Diva was in boxes and I have invited camper to live on my island. Nothing gliched out, only this process took 2 days. Next day Diva moved out, house got demolished and plot got immediately sold. The day after my camper moved in. No glitches.

Anyone has some more insight?

What's the glitch? I think the only thing I've heard about this is that the camper will pick a new person to kick out. He won't take Paula's place. Paula will leave and somebody else as well.

I would talk to Axel, see who he wants to kick out, and go from there.

There shouldn't be a problem if Paula's already in boxes: if this was when she only asked to move (but wasn't in boxes yet), she would forget to move.

I've done this twice (except using an amiibo campsite villager instead of a natural camper -- I just liked replacing multiple villagers at the same time), without any TTing involved (since I don't TT)! 'w')b

What'll happen is: the next day, both villagers will move out. The campsite villager's plot will be marked with [Reserved for (Campsite villager)] and the other one will just be open.

There is a glitch which is triggered by making 2 villagers move out at the same time. (So forcing a villager in boxes through camp site or amiibo). 1 villager will be succesfully replaced but the other one will be in boxes forever and won’t move out (Isabelle will announce that they’re moving every day without them doing so).
