We know how town creation works according to the gameplay, but judging by how the community was going when it comes to resetting towns, I made an interesting step-by-step process on building a town in ACNL. These are the best steps when building a new town. Your first town wouldn't matter. These steps are for your new town if you get a new cartridge or when you restart your town.
- Planning - the first step to town building is planning for it, or pre-writing. Here are the following questions to answer:
- What's your town's name?
- What theme do you plan on making it?
- Who are your characters and what do they look like?
- What are their houses going to be?
- What PWPs and villagers are going to be in your town?
- What map do you want?
- What town fruit do you want?
- What else are you going to do to your town?
- Preparation - once you know what town you are going to build, you should get the items needed for it. If the items you plan on looking for are unorderable on the catalog or is not present on it, I suggest seeking help from someone you can trust online. Keep in mind that you will have to spend Bells to get them. And if you are going to reset your town, look for someone who can hold onto your stuff. Also, I highly recommend that you get all 33 pieces of authentic art and all 67 fossils so the work done in the Museum is minimized in your new town, but if you don't mind a challenge, go ahead.
- Creation - the fun part begins here. This is when you create a new town. Look for the best map, visit, and see if the fruit was the fruit you wanted. Once you got everything, lay some path patterns to plan out your paths and buildings. Once you got what you were looking for, you can finally set your house and start working on your approval rating.
- Pick up items - if you deleted your previous town, talk to the person who held onto your items to return to you. If you have another town, pick up all items (including orderable items you plan on using) and send it to your town. Don't forget to put them away into your storage space.
- Construction - the big step is here. This is where you donate objects to the Museum, expand your houses, grow flowers, build PWPs, and all that stuff.
- Publish your Town - the final step is to share your town through the Dream Suite. As long as your town is finished in construction, it should be ready for anyone who wants to see it.
