Where is Tad?

[cornimer]

Tad is missing and I'm concerned. Here is a timeline of events in my town:

-Feb 20: I unlocked Wisp and asked Tad to move into my town via amiibo card. Wisp said he would move in the next day. There was also a plot for Lopez's house that day.
-Feb 21: Before leaving my house, I scanned Tom's amiibo card, assuming Tad's plot was already up. However, when I went outside, I could not find a plot for Tad's house. Weird. I figured maybe Lopaz moving in had something to do with it and thought Tad would be there the next day, followed by Tom.
-Feb 22 (today): I found a plot for TOM's house, but Tad was still nowhere to be seen!

Where is Tad? Did he get lost on the way to Cacturne? I just hope if he never shows up, his amiibo card will work the next time I try it...

Looks like Tom overrode Tad moving in. Amiibo cards will work no matter how many times you scan them, so just scan Tad again and kick someone else out if you have to.

wow, Tom is rude af

As mentioned, Tad will work no matter how many times you scan him in and he moves out. However, if you scan Tad in he will essentially be a "new" Tad that has no memory of you (this won't be an issue now, as you haven't been able to interact with him anyway, so he will be what people call here "original" when he moves in). As someone that used to cycle villagers with amiibo, it can take a few days before the plot pops up. I was able to trigger the plot pretty much every time this way so I could box the villagers for cycling: scan amiibo in and ask them to move in, save and log out, time travel 2 days in advance, save and log out, time travel 1 day in advance and you should see the plot, save and log out, time travel 1 day in advance and Tad should be moved in by now. (NOTE: When time traveling, each time you log in make sure you try to catch move out pings!)

You did have a lot of recent move-ins though, which never happened to me. I would be really surprised if he doesn't turn up the next day or after though.

Bad news: I scanned Tad's amiibo card again a few days ago, on a day when nobody was moving in or out, but he still didn't show up! Instead, Bud who is completely unwanted just plotted his house today. What is going wrong??

I think there is a conspiracy to prevent Tad from entering your town. Every time you attempt to summon him, this organization sends an agent to prevent him from entering. But what could be the point of this? Could they possibly be trying to cause the return of Biff? I don't know, but I can tell you that Bud is clearly an enemy combatant who must be dealt with immediately.

I don't have experience with Amiibo cards so I can't tell you what the actual problem is.

I will do everything in my mayoral powers to stop Biff and his minions from taking over Cacturne

Try to invite him when there's no expected random move-in just to be sure. Right now you probably have 9 villagers, so it's the time

That's strange! I had two plots up at the same time once before (invited someone from the camp site + scanned in an Amiibo to replace another villager) if I remember well, so there should be no issue..

If all else fails, you'll be able to quickly remove Bud or Tom with Tad's card anyway.. That'll teach them!

True, I'll try again once Bud is settled in and then there shouldn't be any random pop-ups!!

Look out Bud...your days are numbered

Update #3: I scanned his amiibo card AGAIN three days ago, with 9 villagers in my town and nobody set to move in. He still hasn't shown up. My amiibo card must be broken or something. I might have to resort to trying to buy him off someone else and hope that works.

Yo, your game is cursed. I hope you can get him soon bc this is ridiculous.

Thank you! It sucks that this had to happen with my favourite villager ever.

That's so weird!! Do you know anyone who also plays ACNL who could scan them in to check if it's the card?

No unfortunately I don't know anyone else irl who plays ACNL! I know the card worked in 2017 because I scanned him into my old town so it's weird that it would stop working! Unless there's something wrong with my new town specifically?

There suppose to move in the next day. Do you plot reset?

I need to know what's going on.

No I never plot reset or even time travel (if that has any effect, idk). I just scan the card and ask Tad to move in and then....he doesn't show up.

 

[Nougat]

That's just the strangest thing.. Maybe you can scan in someone else, and try to replace that villager with Tad?
