Villager house exterior not changed/reset

[telluric]

So, I was holding Marshal for someone for a day or two. Eventually when I was moving him out, I was lucky to have Cherry in my campsite and I was very happy when he was the first one she suggested to ask to move out. So, I sent him on his way and Cherry moved in. Yet today when I go check on her, she still has Marshal's exterior? It's odd because right before I had Marcel move in and replace Jambette, and he had his proper exterior. Has anyone else experienced this?

Oh, is THAT Marshal's exterior? You just made me realize I have the same exact issue! I think his exterior might be Chadder's. I just thought all Smug villagers had the same exterior or something. He was also moved in by forcing someone else out, so I'm guessing the bug is related to that.

Did you time travel or skip any days playing normally during the move-in process?

This is a known glitch, but doesn't happen unless you skip one of the move-in days (not sure which one) or if you time travel backwards.

You can time travel one day at a time until the villager is moved in and you should be fine.

EDIT: I should add the only way to fix this is to adopt Cherry out (or boot her out via Amiibo) and then invite her back in. It's just a cosmetic glitch, though, so your game and Cherry are safe, but I understand it might still be annoying or frustrating.

This is a known glitch that affects all campers when they force someone to move. It's caused by messing with the "plot sold" day. TTing forwards and skipping the day, TTing backwards, or even just not loading the save file on that day will cause the glitch.

It's just a cosmetic glitch; nothing bad has been reported from it. But there's no way to fix it unless you move the villager out and reinvite them.

Thanks! I thought I might have heard something a whisper about this somewhere but it makes more sense now. Considering I time travelled forward to get him out and then once he had been picked up I time travelled backwards to present... so that explains everything. At least I'm not all too keen on Cherry so I'm fine letting her go. Thanks again!

That we don’t know. When Nintendo patches this, those villagers might disappear. Probably not, but some have said they will intentionally do this to customize the exteriors, and that might end up being a mistake.
