Does anyone else refuse to restart, even if you ‘finish’ your island?

i could never even consider restarting any animal crossing game. even going back to an old game after a long time, the town that's there has such nostalgia and accomplisment that i wouldn't want to just erase it all.

i could certainly never restart my island - in part because i'm not the only person who plays on it; my partner has a character up there too. but even if i was the only person on it, i just love the villagers i have too much to lose them, and i am too proud of what i've been able to accomplish : )

Restarting has come to my mind multiple times but I can never bring myself to do it. The thought of all the work I put into my island just disappearing makes the appeal of restarting go away for me. Same with New Leaf too I still have my town from 2013 lol.

Yeah, I can't ever bring myself to restart. In New Leaf I restarted, and I was never able to start back up and really get back into the game. I always really regretted it. My sisters have the same issue with New Horizons. They restarted a few times and they couldn't get back through to terraforming. I feel like my island is never fully complete. I always add in small details or change areas. I've decided that I would probably get a new Switch before restarting my island.
