There are two methods for getting a "perfect" villager through hacking. The method with Edizon (or your cheat overlay of choice) has you input a code when going onto mystery island. The villager will not change, but when you get back and check an empty plot it will be the villager who's code you inputted. This is simple enough but for those who want to do this without Edizon (or can't access it) it's possible with NHSE.

The method is more complicated, but it goes like this:

1. Start with a save with 10 villagers.
2. Open NHSE. Load an empty villager onto one of the villagers you want to replace.
3. Restore this save on Switch, open up your game, go check if that villager's house had turned into an available plot.
4. If it does turn into available plot, go to nook island and invite the first villager you see
5. Allow that villager to completely move in (time skip one day or wait)
6. After the villager is moved in, save and open that save in NHSE
7. Load an empty villager onto the new villager that moved in. This is your Save-1.
8. Restore Save-1 on Switch, open up your game, go check if that villager's house had turned into an available plot.
9. If it does turn into available plot, save your game. This is Save-2
10. Open Save-2 on NHSE, now edit that empty villager into the one you want, for example, Raymond. Save. This is Save-3. This is where you use one of the villager dumps provided in this thread.
11. Restore Save-3 on your Switch, open up your game, go to Mystery Island and invite the first villager you find.
12. Go back to your island, check that available plot, it should say SOLD with 'Raymond's name instead of that person you invited.
13. Save, quit the game, go to your system and timeskip one day, or wait until tomorrow, go back and Raymond should be there with correct house..

I figured a better way to do this on a EMULATOR (did not test this on a switch because i don't have one)
1. Make sure you have a empty plot available
2. Open NHSE and insert the villager you want from one of the dumps onto an empty villager slot
3. Open your game and check if the dumped villager is aimlessly wandering around your island
4. Go to a mystery island and invite the first animal you see
5. Return to your island and check if the plot is sold to the ANIMAL YOU INVITED
6. Open NHSE, make the dumped villager index slot empty and replace the new invited villager with the dumped villager (It should be something like: Villager index 6: Iggly (Example) - Villager index 7: EMPTY - Villager index 8: Apollo (the dumped animal)
7. Open the game and check if the plot sold to the invited villager is now the (built) house of your dumped villager, if they're listed as one of your villagers on the map app and that the invited animal is gone.

The villager you wanted should be part of your island after you finish this. No time traveling required. This still require some testing, make sure you backup your save before doing anything.

I would appreciate Tammy with her correct furniture! Also, is there a difference to the exterior of the house if they are one of your original 5? Thanks!

When I attempt to load the empty villager you uploaded, my game crashes when pressing A at the main menu. I saw someone else had this problem and it fixed when they rebooted. However mine keeps crashing. ("The software was closed because an error occured.")
 
Not sure if anyone is already doing it but can someone combine the files into a single zip with all villagers when all are dumped? I can help with anything that might be missing today with amiibo cards and legitimate villager finds.

There are plenty of requests already but I could use Sterling, Kitty, Coco, and Roscoe. And thanks for the help. The gdrive in the OP should have most of the files, I'm not sure if the person who offered to maintain it is still doing so. But it's still the largest collection of files in the thread.
