I've pretty much given up. Over 150 resets, and I haven't gotten a map I like.
Holy crap.
I've been resetting since 11PM when I picked it up.. It's 7:46PM now.. At first, I was getting pretty nice maps, but I knew I could do a bit better.
I haven't even gotten one map that made me look twice in about 50 resets... I'm not even going to get to play today because all the shops are going to close by the time I find a good map... If I even do! T_T
I did find two perfect maps, but once I picked the wrong face... and the other, the villagers put their houses exactly where I wanted to put mine...
Damn, sorry to hear that. I know some people can be pretty picky with the way things are when starting an AC game. I myself am a bit picky. I think I reset about 5 times before I kinda just got lazy and accepted the closest thing to perfect I would get. I wish you the best of luck in your continued efforts.

Does anyone else have a big chunk of beach that is inaccessible until you can swim? As you can see there is no ramp going to the left side of the beach. I didn't even know that was possible and didn't realize until after I was comfortable with my town.

I freakin' LOVE my town! It was the third of my four maps on my first try. My home is in a little niche right in front of the tree, and ReTail is to my immediate right. All of this is super close to the beach, and it's a straight shot down the slope to the dock. No secret beaches, either, so no immediate need for a wet suit. I'm going to make my coffee house and second character's home (to be designed into a library) by the town hall.
squeeeeee!
Sigh.. Now I need to restart.
I knew I shouldn't have looked here, I thought I was happy with my map, but after looking at yours..
Gah. It's too perfect. I wish I had your luck
Settled for this one after resetting 15ish times
I didn't like it at first, but after awhile it grew on me. It allows me to make easy pathways with no weird curves and although my town tree thingy isn't the center of the map it does have a waterfall in the background which is pretty cool
Just wish those ponds were somewhere else...
I have big plans for the large space on the right side of the river
Yeah those ponds are so close together it stinks really. But it looks like a lot of space on the right.
After playing on it for about 4 hours, it's kind of nice. Public vs. private space kind of thing. Left side will be where all the business goes down and the right side will be my garden
