I have beaten the wall of flesh, so I am in hard mode. There is one NPC that wants to move in, it constantly says it. I have 2 open houses that are unoccupied, and it will not move in. I have made multiple houses trying to get it to move in. I have the Demolitionist, Witch Doctor, Guide, Mechanic, Goblin Tinkerer, Steampunk, Wizard, Arms Dealer, and Dryad, the name of the NPC that won't settle down in one of my houses is Shime Ji. My 2 available houses each have 2 torches, a door, a chair, and walls and a 7 tall by 10 wide frame at least. One of my houses has a star in a bottle for lighting, but my guide lived there before, and for some reason moved to one of my other houses. If you know what is going wrong with it, please respond.

I'd say the second house you built may not be a proper house. You can assign houses to specific NPC's via the housing menu. This will also tell you if the house you are trying to assign is not properly built.
The housing menu is accessed by clicking on the house icon towards the upper-right corner of the screen in the player's inventory. Selecting housing query and then clicking on a room will return a message indicating the room's status. Selecting an NPC's portrait and then clicking on a room will hang that NPC's flag somewhere in the room, thereby assigning the NPC to live in that room. NPCs can be unassigned from a room by right-clicking on their flag within the room.
Once clicked it should look like this.
You need to make an above-ground glowing mushroom biome in order to make the Truffle move in.
Best Answer
Shime ji is one of the variations of the truffle. For him to settle, you need to create him a house in the mushroom biome and bring it to the surface ideally. So go underground, get mushroom biome seeds, and plant them. They can only be planted on mud, so you will have to create a mud platform. A biome starts when ~50 blocks of the biome blocks are present. Music starts playing if you succesfully made the mushroom biome. Then make him a house in the mushroom newly created mushroom biome. If he still doesn't settle, make the biome bigger.
