Can't Assign First Villager to House

[Shoot the Spam]

I've recruited my first villager, having a house and job ready for her. I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0OXZQvrcPs

But when I look at the house's management sign, hit E, pick the house and click Empty Slot (Assign Tenant), nothing happens. She's nearly at my village and her mood is -18%. She needs a house and job. I sure would be grateful for advice!

You can only have one man and one woman in each house. The other bed are for children if and when they marry and have some.

Also the only person you can move in with yourself is your wife.

So is the house empty or just have one male occupant already?

Easy way to do it: Open your management tab, then go to the house you want to put her in and double click it. This will open a page on the right side of your screen showing who lives there or if it's empty, and show slots where you can assign people to the house. If it's empty, just double click any slot, select her from the villager list that comes up on the left, and she'll live there. If it's not empty, make sure it's a male living there - another female won't allow it. If it's a male, double click the empty slot, and Bob's your uncle.

So long as you have food, water, and wood in the house chest (or in resource and food storage) her mood will instantly begin to improve. Don't assign her a job until you give her a house. That'll drop her mood faster, if I recall correctly.

Doubleclick the empty slot (assign tenant) or pick 'manage assignment' at the bottom when you have selected the empty slot.
And it should give you a popup of the villagers to choose from.

Thank you so much! I'm terribly embarrassed that it never occurred to me to double-click! I tried right-clicking, left-clicking, right and left long-pressing, sacrificing chocolate to the gods...

(Okay. Not the last one.)

Blushing like crazy now but I'm grateful!

May a thousand bandits descend upon you for breaking the cardinal rule, "Thou shalt not lie about chocolate".
