Here is a random question that deals with restarting. When do we unlock Nook Miles plus again? Its been so long since I've played the beginning that I just forget. Did we have to do something to unlock it or will we just unlock it on a certain day?

if I remember correctly, you unlock Nook Miles+ after you've paid off the 5,000 miles loan to Tom Nook.

i can confirm this - literally just did paid it off today on the profile i made for my fiance
Im thinking of resting. when I stared I dint rlly care whereI placed my shops and villagers.... until now , and from what I have heard from my friends is that I shouldn't do it. I have the feeling like I want to but I'm not in the mood to start all over again. So I'm torn between spending millions of bells I don't have in re-doing my island or actually re-starting from scratch....
I am very stuck and not sure what to do, anyone knows what to do or who can change my mind, plzzz help

I would redo the island you currently have first and see if that helps.
I would also look into this thread for Bell help 12 mil Bells for 9 TBT
What is bothering you about it? Is it the location of your secret beach, peninsula, or resident services? Or something else?
I just felt like sharing somewhere that I reset for the first time yesterday since the game’s release and I’m so happy I did! I got everything I wanted (far left RS perfectly lined up with the airport dock, cherries, blue airport) and I’m playing more than I have in months. I worked really hard on my last town but I’m excited to improve upon those ideas with this one.
Sooo... I've been thinking about resetting my island. A part of me dislikes the layout I've done and I feel like I could do it better in another layout, but another part of me is thinking that my current island isn't done yet and I can still fix it.
Pros: new layout, reliving the thrill of villager hunting (my favorite aspect of the game)
Cons: putting everything I've worked for to waste, leaving behind what I haven't completed yet
If you'd like a glimpse of my island, you can check it out in my DA below. It's not that I don't love my island... it's just that I feel I can do better if I had another layout. But then again, maybe I can re-do my current layout as is. I don't know.
Help is very much appreciated!

It's not a question of can or can't.
The problem I see here is you will eventually get to the point where villager hunting is done. So you will miss it again. I also really like the thrill of villager hunting but still you could also just let your villagers go when they ask. You would have a new villager at least all 15 days.
By layout, do you mean the places where your cliffs and rivers are or the location of your Resident Services, peninsula, and secret Beach?
I also agree with letting your villagers go to villager hunt again if you really like doing it.
Thank you for the tips! When I posted I didn't like my layout in general and didn't feel like wanting to rebuild it, but some people have advised me to flatten parts of my island I didn't like, so I did and hopefully it gets me out of the "wanting to reset" rut :]
and yeah, I may have to let go some of my villagers because I want to reset their clothing (esp. genji, who has a ton of silly clothes from his previous owner) and I'm pretty excited to hunt again c:

the only thing i can’t decide is if i should restart totally fresh, make a second islander on my boyfriend’s island so i can unlock terraforming and then move, or save my bells on his island... hm

This is just my experience but if the issues with your layout are things that you can't change with terraforming, i.e. Resident Services location, river exits, etc. then resetting may be for you. I lived with the regret of not resetting for a better map in NL because I had put years of work into my town and so I told myself to restart in NH if I was unhappy with anything.
I reset my island a couple months ago. I figured I can always get back what I got eventually but I can't never change the things about my island I was unsatisfied with (RS being too close to the airport, no water pool rocks on my beaches, etc.) I reset for 3 or 4 days, morning to night and I still couldn't find an island I was 100% satisfied with but I'm still so happy I did it. I just hope perfect fruit looks different because I prefer perfect apples over perfect peaches and apples as a native fruit was the one thing I couldn't get.
However, rebuilding everything from scratch and getting all your things back is a lot of work and extremely time consuming. This is something you have to decide for yourself. With the pandemic and being out of work, this was the perfect time for me to reset.

I reset my extra Switch to get a blue airport. I also want a layout with ample space between the entrance and resident services, since I had that in my first island. I am giving my accounts matching names. My first island is Gloom from Gloomville, and now my new island is Ghost from Ghostville. Can you tell I spend too much time playing this game?

you're kind of imploding my mind right now ...
i reset a while back but i wish i would have found this site before i did !! the reason i reset was bcs of my river mouths and just, no motivation anymore. i had time traveled sm to get trees n bushes n villagers that i ended up with a very small amount of furniture when i wanted to start decorating. i was just so tired n id go multiple days w out playing just bcs i resented the game so much. this went away when i restarted and stopped time traveling (i still do for trades n such but its still so much less than before). i had all of my favorite villagers, yet zero attachment to them bcs of my literal dis-attachment to the game. dont know what im trying to say here (maybe dont time travel?) igs this is just a rant !! im very happy with my new island and i love this place ! very friendly and so helpful for my island c:
(BTW not shading anyone who does time travel a lot !! its just not for me hehe)

I reset for a while hoping I didn’t get pears as my native fruit and I got apples, cherries, or peaches.... and I got cherries with a blue station and roses. Unfortunately, the pear gods were unsatisfied and decided to make them my island’s sister fruit...
so I had bought the ACNH limited edition Switch, but due to Covid it ended up arriving the day after NH was released. I had already started my island on my other switch and didn't want to start over because I get attached to my day 1 island....
thinking of finally getting around to creating this second island. but it's kind of tough coming up with names...

So... I restarted again. As much as I liked my last island, there were some things that started to bother me too much. Besides, I got an idea in mind last night which I hope I can implement in the game. I'm gonna make an island overall based of one of my favorite comedy movies, "Morons from Outer Space", with an island name as well as characters related to said movie. Also, unlike with my past island(s), I'm gonna "wipe out" everything this time right from the beginning. This means: Removing all trees and cliffs, the whole river etc. I got inspired by several NH Let's Plays on YT and I feel like this will may help me more to build certain areas and such when they are done from scratch. Thank goodness NH has some space themed items, since I will need them for sure. Still have to figure out which villagers I'm gonna pick, perhaps this time I'm just let them come and go like they want, since meeting some new faces sounds refreshing instead of seeing the same 10 faces again and again. I'm excited and hope I have enough creativity to make this idea working.
