You missed the point. My map isn’t perfect, it has flaws. I’m calling it a good map, because that’s how I’m choosing to see it; plus if a map is good or not is subjective and dependent on the individual. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all. I have made peace with its flaws and have found ways to work around it. I understand if you’re unhappy with your map now, but I do sincerely hope you find one you’re satisfied with in the end and don’t end up going in a resetting loop of torture that many end up in. I got caught in that loop in New Leaf and ended up quitting the game, after many resets. I was never satisfied with my map, much like someone who gets addicted to plastic surgery and is never satisfied with their bodie

Echoing this! It's been wonderful getting to know you while you reset and I wish you the best! I'm sure you'll find your map soon. I admire your perseverance and can't wait to see it once it's all set!

At this point I would reccomend two things.
1. Step back and take a break at least a day, it sounds like you are getting a little frustrated and stressed and that is not what the game is suposed to be about.
2. When you do come back and choose your map, pick a number of times or a tine limit you will allow yourself to reset, and stick to it. Then play that island at least that day, settle in, walk around some amd sleep on it before you decide anything else. Nothing is ever perfect even in games. Its small imperfections that give the map character.
Case in point. I decided to restart just last week. I was not feeling my island. Wasnt haply about it, and my mom wanted to join me in playing so the timong was right. I chose a new map. I came off the dock and saw a orange airport.....a pig amd pansys. And cherries. Now I wanted cherries because I just like the way they look. But wasn't sure if I liked the other stuff. However my mom really wanted to play so I went through the opening and decided I could always reset later if I wanted too.
I was suprised to find our Curly grew on me, and despite the airport I really like the map layout. I have all thes ideas bouncing around and actually feel inspored to landscape and build and plan unlike my first island, so the airport does not bother me anymore.
This is why I would give to you the smae advice I did. You might be suprised.

Personally i feel that the name of an island is very important. Like how you would name a kid. You want something that echoes ; resonates with you and not something flippant or frivolous.
Then again, this is but a game and i would understand if others weren't as "thoughtful" as you are into such things.
Just my 2 cents.... Cheers

it izz what it izz
Every time I think my island is becoming difficult and I feel the urge that it would be easier to start over I instantly do my best to work with what I got (which usually ends up working out and if it doesn’t, I just need to step away until inspiration or a good idea hits).
I used to have this “resetting hell” issue in my City Folk and New Leaf game which in the end, killed all motivation and magic for the game.
If you’re struggling in this, I recommend first finding a DECENT map. I know you want it to be perfect, but to stress to such an extent is not what this game is about. Little things that don’t fit your ideal mold can be worked with. It opens up for more creativity as well
When I got my island I really only cared about the river exits and where the residential services was (wanted it more to the center). I didn’t like having pears or the colors of my airport and RS roofs, but now I see it as a cute quirk!
I have created so many good things that I don’t think I would have been able to do if I wasn’t in a sticky situation. I’m sure y’all can have the same. None of it happened open night and that’s fine. It works out in the end.

I debated deleting and starting over after realizing how difficult of a map it is to terraform but I slowly ended up getting rid of the parts I don’t like. My main issue now is resident services is basically right outside of the airport and it’s annoying. Hope you find the map ur looking for~
Thank you so much! I really need it, today was another disappointing day - four hours, one map which I could fly to, but wrong fruit and airport color. The search goes on...

I know from New Leaf experiences that I'm not one for resetting loops. I know 100% now what I want and it's just a matter of getting it now. That's how it was in New Leaf - I resetted for a long time but once I found that town I wanted, I never had the urge to reset again. So I know this is not a vicious cycle for me but just something I have to power through until RNG blesses me.

Thank you so much! I really enjoy our PMs as well and they keep me really motivated! I just hope I don't give up if it takes too long - I have the stamina for 60-80 hours of resetting, but don't think I could do twice as much without at least taking a seriously long break, at the very least.
Post automatically merged:
Thank you for worrying about me, but my life is busy in a way that makes me unable to have any resetting time during three out of seven days in the week anyway, so I have forced breaks anyway and they are really needed. And I also always reset a maximum of one Switch Lite charging a day, so I have a limit. However, I don't think I could ever play an island I know I wouldn't keep for a day, I would get soooo bored with the same dialogue over and over. And, as my first island - which was great except for the peninsula - has shown, things just don't grow on me, they just annoy me more and more and more with each passing day.

I still don't get why people think I'm stressing over this. I'm not stressed. It's really simple for me: I want to play a game I enjoy. I am unable to enjoy the game if the map is "only" decent. I am also not stressed about resetting - if I would be, I would stop doing it. I never let my hobbies stress me; my RL is stupid enough that I don't need stress in the free time I have. Yeah, resetting is not fun because of the RNG aspect of it because it means hard work and time invested might never be rewarded, but I don't feel stressed by it. It's not like my life depends on me playing the game again. Either it works or it doesn't. If I have something better to do than reset during a day, I don't reset at all and take breaks. I don't feel pressure or anything - simply because I like resetting more than playing on an island that's not perfect to me. But of course it's much better if someone can live with an island with flaws!

Thank you! And yeah, the RS position is really annoying on some maps. I have scratched the maps with low RS from my possible-map-list because I've really gotten convinced that having it far down would, in the end, become a hassle.

I do not have the slightest clue or notion how ACNH has this vice-like grip on me that keeps making me reset over and over again and so frivolous reasons too!!! ( i have posted on what i have reset about on this thread ) Till the point where i i do not even last past the first day in-game...
More compelling is the fact that i have been a gamer for the longest time and this is the first i have ever felt about any game whatsoever and i've played all sorts of genres; FPS, Strategy, Action, Adventure, Platform, RPGs and even competitive card games like Hearthstone and Gwent. Yes in like a minority of games i've reset but thats because i missed out a huge plot or item which i wanted but never more than once.
Yes, i have taken a break for the past few days away from AC but to no avail it seems. Once i boot up a new game , i'll probably find something which irks me like for instance on my latest reset; i didn't know what triggered the rumble in my controller! I know it sounds ridiculous but yeah it is what it is and hence i deleted that save file and have yet to start on a new game and its been a day...
Don't get me wrong. I do love ACNH. My very first playthrough lasted till KK first visited and i remember i looked forward to every new day when i would hope that the price of turnips would be favorable and how i wished that the Hot Item of the day would be the Shell Lamp because i stocked piled alot of Giant Clams lol . Back then , nothing bothered me . Not the native fruits . not the colour of my airport , not the residents and certainly not the layout of my island. In short i just went with the flow and enjoyed every minute of it till i missed out on those ceremonies.... And since then i have fallen and sunk into this rabbit hole of resetting hell where the most frivolous "thing" would trigger me.
I have tried what @IndiaHawker suggested but to no avail it seems...
Anyways just thought i'd rant/share and maybe it'll make me feel better over this . I do wanna conquer this but right now its this rabbit hole lol and a love hate relationship with ACNH
Still, i wish you all who are going through this good luck and may you all find whatever you're looking for
Cheers fellas

Still checking in on this thread once in a while, hoping to see if you’ve finally found your home. It’s good to hear that you’re keeping your spirits up—I’m in full support of you going on with your plan if it’s the only way you can get enjoyment from the game.

Hope all you guys finally get settled in and find your islands (I didn’t say PERFECT islands because I still believe no island is perfect, well nothing is perfect) already. The rest of us are all going into an entirely new season in-game soon. It sucks to be missing out on so much just because you only get to play the first 5% of the game over and over and over.

Aww then that’s fine. I just know people who genuinely get upset and caught up in this same issue. Just wanted to give my input in and help if they were to stumble on this. If it’s no problem for you and you are destined for this then go for it. But it will take a long time. I wish you good luck

I've been silently lurking in this thread to check in to see if you've gotten your dream island before! I'd like to say resetting for what you want is definitely worth it to anyone else hesitant about resetting, you can always get your dreamies back, but you can't fix all the aspects of your island you dislike!
Good luck to OP, we're all cheering you on and can't wait for the lucky day you get it! Your perseverance is pretty inspiring

i can feel you. i can get very obsessed with stuff like that, i reset my day 1 island a few days ago until i got peaches + tulips.
my advice is, you need to compromise a little and make a choice otherwise you will just get burnt really fast. for me, i decided that peaches+tulips will be good enough for me even if the layout will be crappy (and maybe in the future it will be moveable)

Oh man guys. So...oooof...I might need your decision help.
Today, I stumbled upon this island, which has the perfect peninsula shape in the perfect spot and also blue airport and peaches (also sorry for the giant images but it's kinda important to see the grid well since this comes down to just one or two steps when it comes to placing things):
However, it's not one of my preferred maps for the reason that I wanted to rebuild part of my first island, namely the "river-island" in the middle and its cliffs. To remind you guys, here's my old island as well as what I had envisioned in the online designer:
So I now spent a long time in photoshop, overlayed the two maps, connected the river exit by hand and ended up with this:
The RS is the one from the "new" map, the island is the original from the old map, as well as the river parts I want to keep and the cliff. As you can see, the RS baaaaaaarely fits with the island, but if you look at my dream designer image, you can see I want to connect the island in the bottom right corner with a bridge to the mainland and I fear I might not be able to do that, either because RS will be flat-out in the way and the game won't let me or because it might let me but it just won't be accessible well or look bad. My river-island is some sort of zen garden area, with bamboo shoot lamps and all, so I'm not sure if a building in front of it won't ruin it, either. I wanted the area around it to be very bamboo-park-like, too, and instead I have RS sitting there.
Moving the island to the left is only possible for a very small space because of the river coming from above connecting to the river around the island - that thing is fixed because this is 100% the cliffs I want.
Honestly, to test this all, I would have to make this another "test-island", but I don't feel like doing that. I want to have a final island and not TT through it all quickly again to test things out because I found during my test-island how very non-attached TTing made me. So it's either continuing to look for an island and deleting this one right away or keeping it, investing 100+ hours to...then maybe find it just doesn't work AGAIN and I don't think I'll then have it in me to invest so much time a third time.
I just don't know. :/ Normally I'd play it safe and reset, but I also noticed that, time-wise, I didn't reset as much as I used to during the last few days, mainly because I just didn't feel like it anymore and preferred doing other things, so I honestly don't know how long I would still keep trying. It's a rough decision as no one can guarantee me when/if I'd find a better island. During today's resetting, I saw my "definitely working" maps four times total, with the peninsula always in the wrong spots and I also noticed a lot that this "best shaped peninsula" is suuuuper-rare on the right side and a lot of the right side peninsulas create really tiny beaches at the top, so I lucked out a LOT with this map, peninsula-wise.
Anyway, rant over. I dunno what to do, guys. It's definitely not the "perfect island". It might be workable, but I have no idea what the game considers okay when it comes to diagonal bridges close to buildings. I know you guys can't decide for me, but if anyone here has experience with river-islands and bridges very close or behind RS, please lemme know what you think about all of this. I'm honestly leaning towards resetting, but I am soooo unsure.
Thanks so much for your support! As you might have seen above, I got a somewhat-suboptimal island today where I'm really unsure if it would work, but I'm tempted to keep it to stop resetting, but that didn't work out so well for my first island, so I think I might have to keep looking. I'm at 110 hours resetting total (over all three resetting rounds, around 25 hours for this round of resetting for my third island) now.

Man, you also still have it rough. :/ I know exactly what you talk about when it comes to love hate relationships at the moment. Though not hate for the game itself, but more for the RNG that just won't give me 100% what I want but on suboptimal maps, suddenly blue airport and peaches are doable. But the good map layout? No good peninsulas or, if the peninsula works out for once, it's always pears, my least favourite fruit. It's like a curse. And every time I think I can make something work something unexpected happens. Last test island? I had what I wanted, but suddenly, the beach was tiny. This time, the RS is juuuust a bit too high. Like, ugh. It feels so impossible sometimes.I do not have the slightest clue or notion how ACNH has this vice-like grip on me that keeps making me reset over and over again and so frivolous reasons too!!!

Thank you so, so much! Optimism is what I need right now! It also makes me think I should definitely not keep the again-suboptimal map I just found because yeah, I want to enjoy the game to the fullest! I'm definitely doing my best to stay positive, just ran out of youtube videos to watch while resetting at this point, which makes everything a bit harder lol.

Not gonna lie, I'll cheat with this. I start on April 8th for my resets (which is when I started my first island), will play normally until Island Designer unlocks and then just skip to playing the event days as well as one day with rain to catch all monthly fish that only come out during rain. Things like May Day don't require much time. I would just check in that day, do the event, and once I did them all then skip to present-day and not TT anymore. Honestly if it wouldn't be for missing out on April (and soon May) fish/bugs I wouldn't even do it for the events, but the fish/bugs make it neccessary since I found out I couldn't just give those to my friend for safekeeping like my items.

Thank you so much! It's honestly no problem for me in itself to reset, it's just not possible for me to stay motivated forever, so it's a matter of finding an island before becoming unmotivated and stopping. And that's all up to RNG. But there's no stress involved - however, I have resetted much less during this third round of resetting, simply because I DO stop when bored/getting frustrated, so that shows me that after 110 hours total of resetting time piled up through three rounds of resetting, I am very obviously getting to the point I don't wanna do it anymore.Aww then that’s fine. I just know people who genuinely get upset and caught up in this same issue. Just wanted to give my input in and help if they were to stumble on this. If it’s no problem for you and you are destined for this then go for it. But it will take a long time. I wish you good luck

Yep, that's exactly what I feel like. I don't care about starting villagers (in fact, I prefer not-dreamies in them because of the messed-up houses) and river shapes or cliffs because those I can adjust to my liking. The peninsula, dock, airport color, river mouths? Not so much.
Thanks so much for your support!

Oh wow, going for only flower+fruit is pretty rare, but I definitely understand since you see both things so much during island tours. I was willing to compromise on the flower to "everything that is not Cosmos" (lol), but yeah, peaches are a must for me. I don't think that things like RS or river mouths will ever be moveable, though. But it would certainly be nice!

i think what you are doing is unhealthy and you should stop. i know it's hard but you must rest and give this game a break. you will not find a perfect island, because there's no such thing.
i understand wanting to restart to find a better island but you are doing it for far too long, at this point i would have just stopped and moved on.
do other things, play other games. animal crossing will wait for you when you will be ready.
because right now you are just stuck in a loop and no island will make you happy enough, you need to rest.

Working on finding a map for my 2nd island has been tedious :c I found my map the first time around in 20 minutes now I cant seem to decide!!!
ohno dannie
they/them | ignore my user..my name is sam
ive reset more times than id like to admit, and im planning on resetting again tonight...i dont care much about my airport colour or native fruits and flowers (although i do prefer a green airport with a native fruit other than apples and cherries and a native flower other than hyacinths).
the thing hardest for me when resetting is having to do so much work for the first 3 house plots as well as get all the materials for nooks cranny...definitely the most time consuming part

I really like the new map!! RS is nice and central, lots of space between river mouths, awesome peninsula with cute little beach behind it! I love that shape peninsula, mine is similar and looks really cute with a lighthouse on it Also lots of space behind airport to do a nice entrance area! How sure are you that you'll want the rivers exactly like that? That may be your favourite design now or what looked best in the other town but you might decide you prefer something else in this one - if there isn't enough space behind RS (sorry I can't help with that I'm pretty clueless there) there's enough possibilities with terraforming that you should be able to shuffle things around enough that you could still have that island, maybe if you needed to it could go just a bit to the left or be reshaped slightly to allow more space behind RS! I do hope you stick with this one it's awesome
Don't know if this is any help - but if those two top houses don't HAVE to be there you could terraform that cliff, move Able Sisters up a little, and have more room behind RS!

Hmm. I feel like right now the thing holding you back is one bridge. I think if you don't allow a tiny bit of wiggle room from your original plan, you're going to be stuck resetting for a long while due to how stacked your criteria for an island is. Is the bridge not being diagonal truly going to ruin the game for you and is that bridge worth going in to possibly another 100+ reset hours?
I know I'm not you so I can't say how bad this would look to you but this would be my suggestion on making the map you have now work and still be within your original dream plan:
I tried to work with the dream map you had posted. For the first example, it could easily connect to the back of the road you plan on adding around the house that goes there. The biggest change to your original dream map is the fact the bridge is not diagonal. You should have space to put a bamboo lead up to the bridge too.
Option 2 would put the bridge in the spot that is empty on your map, which would give you even more space to put a bamboo-y entrance. It would also keep the bridge diagonal due to the river bend there.
As a last idea:
Reverse the bridges! The bridge on the airport side of the map will again land on an empty spot on your dream map. I feel this gives you space to put a bamboo entrance area and still makes you walk through the whole island zen garden to get to the mountain area. If you shape the island a tiny bit I believe you could get the other bridge diagonal too on this idea.
I hope my ideas will help you out. You've been resetting for a while and deserve to get to relax and play the game.
I also hope I didn't come off as rude with these suggestions! Apologies if I did! I know you must be sick and tired of people telling you to stop resetting or do this and that.

Ooh these look cool! Especially the first image (top left) - if it were me I'd do that and then put a bridge symmetrically on the other side of RS, could look really cool (sort of in front of Able sisters and nook shop)
In my opinion that would actually look better than the original idea but this is obviously from my point of view! Hope you find something awesome that works!!Similar threads
