Missing him usually means one required detail has not aligned. Check event flags, party status, and biome requirements before altering files.
Can he appear in an existing world
Yes, if your save meets the party, biome, and event flags for the current build.
What should you do if he still does not show
Verify the date, start a festive event, and host or join a party to unlock him.
