The Animal Crossing: New Horizons moving glitch was essentially the worst nightmare of someone trying to move out villagers they don’t like in favor of ones that they do. One part of this meant a villager someone else forced out and you tried to invite to move will never actually move. Their home space will be sold and have a spot, but remain that way. The other half ended up keeping Tom Nook from letting you find a new place for a new villager to live. Finally, its last parts kept you from being able to completely erase another player’s presence on the island or get stuck spending both bells and Nook Miles on Mystery Tour Nook Miles Tickets.
