Yet another plot reseting question

[Ably.Saucey]

Ok, bad grammar and a best attempt at explaining ahead.

if I scan a villager out via amiibo card and have trouble getting the new villager to not plot where the old villager's plot is, can I go back to when the previous villager is in boxes (via console), adopt them out,
continue as if I were plot resetting( in game clock foward) THEN go back to the day (via console) before, will they be gone and will I have a blank plot to tile over since their file has moved on or will I get infinite empty houses?

THANKS

Edit for the sake of experimentation
I've adopted out Savannah and I'm about to continue as if I was plot resetting, tting a day before 6am.

Now I'm turning my console clock back to the day Savannah would be in boxes, aka the day I asked Carmen in.

It will eventually count as one day, and the scanned in villager will move in.

If you want it to move to where the old villager was, just lay tiles everywhere else?

I'd imagine that if a day hasn't passed from when you scanned that villager in, then there won't be a plot if you go back to that day. Although I don't know anything about amiibos.

Also, it seems that villagers don't like to move into the old spot of another villager. I had the same issue where I wanted a villager to move almost in the same spot (one to the right of it), and they insisted on moving onto my flowers until I covered the area with patterns. I refrained from covering them with flowers beforehand because a previous villager had no issue moving near an old spot. I guess some villagers are more stubborn than others?

Yes, but that's exactly where I don't want them to be, I want them somewhere else.

Then you just have to keep plot resetting since they didn't move out naturally, and give you time to tile over that plot.

You just have to keep resetting until the new plot moves elsewhere. I mean, you cannot just cover the space where the previous house was or TT backwards without the risk of a new villager plot moving in since it will still count as one day.

I though you can tt via ds clock to the day you asked them to move in, you can retile and since I need to tile the area the plot insists on, I need them out to tile, but the new one not in.

I mentioned this in my post above. While I don't know anything about amiibos.. Let's say you scan a villager in, and they are supposed to move in the next day. Then they will move in at 6 am the next day. But if you have your time to where it hasn't passed 6 am the following day, then you should be good as you would still be on the same day (the day you scanned them in).

Amiibo's will move in the next day, and I guess you could TT back, but you won't stop the amiibo from eventually moving in, because you've already scanned and invited it.

They're like Vampires.
Once you invite them in, you're kinda screwed.

Plus what I said before.

Amiibo's will move in the next day, and I guess you could TT back, but you won't stop the amiibo from eventually moving in, because you've already scanned and invited it.

But they won't move in if the next day hasn't arrived, right?

No, but the other villager won't have moved out, therefore Ably can't lay tiles there.

I know, but if the previous villager is already gone to another town the file shouldn't be there, hence neither the house, so there's a blank space to tile.
I'm trying it now to answer my question since I'm not explaining it very well.

If the villager is gone, tile over that plot. ^_^

So for my understanding, when you use amiibo cards... A villager moves out, day passes, said villager house is gone and on that day you scan amiibo, next day amiibo house plot is there. Then if that is the case, tt back to the day without a house and file in area with patterns.

Watch this vid:

Hope this helps!

If the house is gone, put tiles down, it's that simple.

Just don't go forward past 6.00 AM.

If you scan in an amiibo, which ever villager you choose to kick out (if you have 10) will be in boxes on that same day and the next day the scanned in villager will plot, which sometimes makes is hard to plot reset since they like sticking to the same spot.

Sometimes.

Usually, they like to move next to you.
Or behind you.
Or in front of you.

That happened to me, before I knew about plot resetting.

Ah I see! So did Nintendo make it a sort of mechanism/habit that scanned in amiibos will want to plot their house where a kicked out villager onced had theirs? Or is that just something that commonly occurs with amiibos?

Well, yes you can TT backward one in-game day and retile/edit your paths if the spot is an empty space. In this case, the game would think you haven't saved for the current day since you were still on the process of plot resetting so the last time you actually saved the game was the previous day.

You can't TT back one day (to your last save) then from there, TT back one day again without the risk of the "invited" villager plot moving in, since from that moment, TT'ing one day forward or backward will count the same way as going one day forward.
