Villager in Boxes Glitch

[ChrisNewLeaf]

Someone I spoke to on discord who does not have an account asked me to post this:

They have a glitch similar to the "Moved out" glitch but potentially worse. It was NOT fixed by today's update. They have Canberra in their town who is in boxes, but who NEVER leaves. Every day Isabelle announces she will leave but she never does. This happens every day, and happened before today's update and is still ongoing.

Has anybody else had this glitch? I can't even advise amiibo to this person, as if Canberra is already in a state of leaving I do not see how they have use Amiibo to boot her.

Any help is appreciated.

To clarify, this happened after their friend attempted to adopt the villager who had naturally gotten into boxes. The villager agreed to move to their friends town but never did, and instead stayed in boxes indefinitely.

I would say villager trading is still NOT safe.

nooooooo when will this animal crossing horror end

have they reported to nintendo about this glitch? i feel like i've seen some posts floating around about this specific glitch, but i don't remember seeing any resolutions to it

A series of unfortunate events- the video game

This glitch is not new - seems they only fixed the main, most common one.

Your friend should report it to Nintendo. I have seen a few others mention of it as well.

Even though it wasn't fixed for your friend in the update, it may be fixed in the sense that it won't continue to happen but unfortunately not for those who have already experienced it.

How was this caused? Did they force Canberra out via amiibo or was this a natural move-out?

I gave my friend my marshal in boxes yesterday (natural move out), they lost the villager, and the plot is now empty.

Natural move-out meant nothing with the main widespread villager glitch. Unfortunately for your friend, the Marshal he adopted from you was glitched, thus the patch erased him the following day.

This person does not have amiibo. Canberra was naturally in boxes and his friend recruited her. His friend did not receive canberra, and he kept her indefinitely.

Darn sucks for my friend. I didn't think my mystery island found villagers could get glitched wow.

Honestly, I'm skeptical. I spent a long time searching for similar things, and nothing. And this random person on a discord server has provided no proof other than word of mouth?

Not glitched for the person who invited them, but unfortunately based on what people reported, they still had glitched experiences adopting from someone's town even if they were natural move-outs.

But if the main glitch has indeed been patched now then it will be easier for people to bring them in via Amiibo cards and help people out.

I imagine there will be plenty of peeps who are planning to do giveaways, etc.

Lately it's hard to know what's true and what isn't but I think I've even seen a few people report it here on this forum.

They have no reason to lie - it's also covered here: https://en-americas-support.nintend...villager-stuck-in-boxes-for-weeks-and-missing

Other people have gotten it.

Jeez, how did they mess up villager move ins and outs so badly?

Alright, fair. But this issue seems to be effecting a VERY limited amount of people. The post was made on April 16th, which was before 1.2.0, which raises a few questions, but Nintendo has been alerted if this is indeed a real issue effecting a few people. So many people have been booting out villagers left and right, both naturally and via amiibo, and even I've had a few villagers move out without issue (natural move outs).

If this IS indeed a glitch, it's an extremely rare one that we don't know much context of. Modded switches, etc. Considering how freqeuntly people are moving out villagers on this forum, someone here would have encountered it by now.

Is it not possible to use amiibo to kick the villager in boxes out? I understand your friend has no amiibo but for others with this glitch is it not possible?

When i first got the "moved out" glitch it was also rare. We should't disregard it just because we don't know enough people affected by it. The guy on discord has 1.2.0 and it didnt fix it for him. Given how gamebreaking these can be everyone should still take caution trading.

No idea- they will try but its sad they have to pay to fix something nintendo couldnt with no guarantee it'll work.

Oh no, I'm not disregarding it--I'm just a bit skeptical of it. Very few instances, no visual proof, etc. At least with the "I've moved out." glitch, people posted proof. We eventually found a workaround, and Nintendo eventually fixed it. Since this new issue seems so rare, Nintendo wasn't really told about it, so didn't fix it.

Now that the latest content update is out, they can focus on the next content update.. but more importantly, patches for bugs such as this one if it is true.

Ah **** here we go again...

How did they get Canberra to move out? Did she ask naturally?

Previous reports of this glitch involved the campsite and TTing

Any help is appreciated.

have they tried time travelling the villager/house out yet? the month+1day forward, month backwards, day progression trick seems to have worked for most of the glitches this past run, lol

Guide: How to reset "I've moved out" plots and/or move any villager out!

The guide originally was for players to be able to remove any villager of your choice without having to TT 5/15/etc. days at a time. But it's been shown to be able to remove plots that are glitched with "I've moved out". Credit where credit is due: This has been done via a few threads in...
