The Resetting Thread

[BakaRina]

Some days I think about resetting and then I realize something when I do, I'll go through the pain of catching every bug, fish and sea critter, every clothing and orderable items and other things if I reset again lol

 

[Shawna]

Thinking of resetting next month when our Switch 2s arrive. I would go ahead and just reset now, but I do not want to risk losing the island I would create due to moving to a new console.

I reset yesterday and it's been a dream come true ๑ˊૢᵕˋૢ๑ I had buckled in for the reset re-roll session but got my ideal island on the first roll, complete with peaches! And my first mystery villager was Merengue! All this luck canceling out that grind has me feeling actually excited to play again~!

After taking a three month hiatus, I finally reset my island. The only things I didn't want was a green airport.

So I reset three times this morning and I got

- Peaches
- Blue Airport
- Large Peninsula
- Katt and Peirce as starters
- Small dock

I'm happy. Since this is a minimal to no terraforming island, the rivers naturally forming an island in the middle, made this a great choice for me.

I started fresh on my Switch and reset my island too! I didn't keep track because it was over a few days, so I don't know how many resets I did.
^ ^;
I got:

+Oranges (My favorite fruit)
+Blue Airport
+Cosmos
+Mira & Scoot as starters!!!
+Long pier
+The 'straight' peninsula (idk what to call it TToTT)

I reseted my island and didn't figured out what I wanted it to be til yesterday

Kinda wish I did restart it again but I'm ok with what I have

 

[Edinbour]

I've considered resetting but I can't bring myself to do so. Completed museum, only 3 nook achievements left. I got too much accomplished lol

With the new update announced, I'm coming back to the game and will be resetting my island! Anyone else planning to do the same? Or are you continuing with your current island?

Have fun with restarting . I am going to start a new island on my switch 2. I love the two islands I have on my lites too much to restart them. Starting a new island with the update sounds fun.

Went with first roll of 4 choice islands.

Island Fruit: Peaches
Native Flower: Roses

Dislike the double south waterfalls but I think I can make it work. Now for some treasure maps

I just did a reset after announcement I did Not have a previous town that I loved, so it was easy. Good luck with your decision

 

[Ginny Potter]

I reset my island so long ago because I couldn't get rid of the second house on the island. So I reset it and looking forward to the hotel!

Im less restarting and more just starting as I've not set up an island on my switch 2 yet and so will just start from scratch there.

The big question is, now or in January?
I want the full 3.0 experience. Will the early game be changed at all? Who knows yet. So i think I'll wait. Which sadly means both a long wait and starting an island in snow.

i got a switch 2 and decided to not transfer my island, but make a new one for the 3.0 update! my goal is to NEVER reset this island, but we will see if i can manage my restartitis. :')

finding the exact map i wanted took awhile haha. i wanted THIS specific map, a large peninsula, and a yellow or blue airport. AND i needed cherries because i like the pink drink the villagers carry around and the icon on the passport. it was soo heartbreaking to reset again when i saw a different fruit. also this map did NOT want to spawn lol. not my most painful map reset, even in NH, but definitely took a long time.

named myself the nickname my late dad called me as a kid. <3

welcome to worm island!! i'm peanut
northern hemisphere
fruit:
airport:
starting villagers: agnes + sprocket
native flower: lily

@LilD we are twinning!!! haha

 

[jelliesoup]

I havent played for a year or two and have been meaning to restart my island for some time but I cannot decide on a new island name!

 

[Jenta]

I heard about the 3.0 update and decided to return to the game. I started this island 3 days ago. No time travel and no treasure islands, just taking it day by day and earning most of the things myself (except for some fruits, of course). I got lucky and got one of my favourite villagers, Mira, right from the start.

 

[JKDOS]

Just thought I'd share this here. With the new hotel coming to the dock, I assume a short/long dock won't be an issue anymore when looking for a good map. I'm guessing once the Hotel moves in, the dock will be the same size for all.

 

[Leebles]

EDIT: Forgot to specify I was thinking about it bc my avatar is named after my deadname and there's no way to get your name changed ingame. It makes my villagers sound transphobic lmao
I would love to reset my island, but the thought of having to get DIY recipes again really stresses me out. The RNG of it all is really horrible. I think it took months of playtime to get certain recipes I wanted really badly, like the Stone Lantern. There's also random things like the green mums that took a while to breed.

Are there people on these forums who will hold stuff for people who are resetting? Like DIY recipe cards, rare hybrids or items, stuff like that?
