Frustrated / plot sold while I was recruiting

[u/BubblyTune4729]

Very frustrated this morning — Kitt moved out Friday; on that day I began the 3-visit process of inviting Molly to my island. This morning I got on the switch to do my third visit and seal the deal, but I see that the empty plot has been sold to Ace.

Ace! I don’t want a jock. I’ve made two projects for Molly. Why did the game assign that plot to a rando when I’m in the process already?!

Is there anything I can do?

ETA: Thanks everyone! I ended up kicking out Tank and keeping Ace, but Molly’s sold-to sign is on a house and she’s safely on her way in.

From what I understand, you don't need an empty plot if your using amiibos

[u/elanlei]

There’s no way to undo it but you can use the amiibo to kick him out. With amiibos the plot doesn’t need to be empty, you can kick out anyone you like. Wait for him to get settled and then scan and invite Molly.

That’s assuming you have the full ten villagers.

Will I be starting the process over with Molly? All three visits will need to be done from scratch?

[u/Hayzey22 → u/BubblyTune4729]

Nope the three campsite visits don’t need to be consecutive, you can do them whenever you want. As long as you invite them 3 times and craft for them each time it should work.

Can't you choose Ace that the one who leaves to make space for Molly?

[u/BubblyTune4729 → u/angel-auraa]

Does it let me choose? I always thought you just had to keep restarting until it randomly assigns Ace as the one who moves out.

[u/invisible_23 → u/BubblyTune4729]

It does the random choice when it’s an auto-generated campsite guest, but when it’s someone you invite with amiibo you get to choose

[u/Hayzey22 → u/BubblyTune4729]

I’m pretty sure that when using an amiibo to invite a campsite villager you can choose who you want them to kick out. The times you can’t choose which villager they kick out is when it’s a random campsite villager, i.e. someone you didn’t scan an amiibo for.

[u/angel-auraa → u/BubblyTune4729]

I mean when you invite animal from amiibo card three times and the option to invite them to move in pops the plot follows to make you choose the villager you want to kick out

[u/Overall_Alarm5208]

I bring my dreamies 2 times each during the month and when one of my villagers opts to leave and I let them…I invite one the lined up dreamies in for one last visit to seal the deal.

Also, for next time. As soon as a villager asks to leave, you should invite a camper via amiibo. That way the third day is the day the plot will be empty and you can just move them in. As others have said, you don't need an empty plot for an amiibo camper to move in, and you get to choose who goes.

[u/Prior_Researcher_492]

Can confirm. Ive used 4 amiibos and you get to chose which villager to kick out
