Hello I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this glitch?

I recently invited Purrl to move in via the campsite and kicked out Bitty. Purrl has successfully moved in but her house's exterior is still Bitty's.

(What her house looks like on my island.)

(What it's supposed to look like. Pic taken at a friend's island who also has Purrl.)

Purrl showed up and was invited on 3/4.

I did not play on the date after Bitty moved out and when the lot should be empty but marked as "SOLD", 3/5.

Played again on 3/6 and Purrl had moved in.

As of now, other than the exterior being diffrent, she seems to be acting normally. And interestingly her interior matched what it should be and is not Bitty's

Good to know thank you! I never heard of anyone else experiencing it so I was unsure!

It's strange that Nintendo hasn't fixed this yet tho. And I wonder what causes it since I have had other campers move in completely fine.
 
This isn't a new glitch, but I didn't know this could happen without time-travelling (during the process of moving)!
 
Yep someone else let me know it's a know glitch but now I'm trying to figure out how it happened!

I think I may have left the game "on" for the day I didn't play but I'm not 100% sure. (saved and quit but did not close the game on the switch menu when I put my system in sleep mode)

I saw Bitty's house still there on the title screen when I reopened the game and got scared lmao
 
Yeah, this happened with Midge when I moved Soleil out with an amiibo, Midge moved right into Soliel's house, no changes to the outside, just the inside.
 
Good to know! In the end I guess it works out because I like Bitty's exterior more than Purrl's lmao
 
Purrl's exterior will be messed up but I think their interior should match with what it's supposed to be.
 
I worry though about what a bug fix will mean for people who have these glitched houses... Will Nintendo just quietly patch it so villagers' houses are reset or will the people with these glitched villagers end up losing them?

well my guess they will lose them but this is my guess
 
you're probably right but..... I'm still hoping for a patch that doesn't remove them because Purrl is one of my dreamies... :cry:
