The Resetting Thread

[nocctea]

I succumbed to my habits and am resetting right now oops~ I was gonna wait until Nov 5th since I've never done the Halloween event, but I figure it's pointless to do the event and then lose everything, so I'll just try to do it on my new island. If I don't finish, oh well, I'll probably just time travel back lol. Excited for my new island!

I totally ended up resetting again for this new update and found an even better map than I had before. I honestly dont remember being this excited about a map before. It finally feels like I'm not just settling for "good enough", but I actually found the perfect map just for me. It's been a few days and I still feel so happy and bubbly over it

This exactly, the map I have now is definitely the one I'm keeping for good. I'm a habitual resetter and normally I reset my island like a week or so into playing and sometimes as far as a few months because something about the map has always bothered me but not this time, I'm definitely excited about my map and can't wait to see what I can do with it design wise. I am not, however, excited about having Moose as a starter but I have Amiibo cards now to kick him out so villagers are not a problem for me anymore.

Debating on whether or not to reset AGAIN... I've been through 4-ish islands in the past YEAR, lol. I love my current one but the name doesn't fit the aesthetic I'm aiming for anymore... T^T

What should I do guys? ;;

If I do reset, these are the names I'm thinking of; Petticoat, Linen, Millefleur, and Corduroy c:

When it comes to map resetting, I'm not sure what to look for? :0 I want my map to look nice but I'm not exactly certain on what I want just yet T^T

I'm thinking of resetting my main island.
I'm tired of it and no matter what I do it will never be perfect. Why? Airport and fruit are wrong.

Why don't I just reset?
My museum is completed.
I've I've all apart from 3 or 4 stamps.
Ive got a completed catalogue
I've got pretty much every single DIY recipe
I'll lose so so many nook miles
I'd lose my villagers.

I think I would have more fun if I reset
But I would be so sad to lose well over 1000 hours of work.
And just in time to not be able to enjoy the update.

I really don't know what to do

Well the fruit trees can be replaced. As for the airport…that you can’t change but are you willing to give up everything just for the airport color? If so then you can reset, if not then don’t. The update is soon and you’ll be needing a lot of unlocks for the new stuff…bells and furniture you can leave some at a friends or family’s island and you can buy DIYs again once you’re on your new island but it’ll be hard to grind for nook miles…

I've just requested next week off work
Its unlikely I'll get it.
If I do, I'll reset and spend the time working on getting back up to speed.
If its a no, I'll probably stick to my original island

Good luck. You're gonna need it. Also some advice you can buy the swimsuit from Timmy at Resident Services so you swim to the other part of the island.

I reset yesterday and I keep on forgetting I can use the wetsuit that way! Thanks for the reminder!

No problem, and I was surprised when I discovered this back when I was restarting on my 2nd island.

 

[Moritz]

Found exactly what I was looking for!
Well, resident services isn't exactly where I would have put it, but it's very much close enough!
So happy it only took a couple of hours!

Finally found a good island again. Resetting is pure hell if you're picky, but I would recommend it at least once once you know what you want from an island. Maybe a week or two into the game.

It's really bs that we can't change our island name or our own name even. Just give people like an online ID if you're worried about scammers or something, not like they really do anything about them anyway though.

I hate finding a new map because it's soooo randomized, but replaying the beginning is so much fun.

All the reasons I reset yesterday! It's lovely to have a fresh start

I legit reset yesterday and then regretted BC of the Halloween event ;-;

Aww I hope the game still lets you participate! I think you can still get diys and candy on Halloween? But would be difficult with only two villagers.. doesn't hurt to do some quick time travel either if you're okay with that!

It's not that I even want to reset, I just want to delete everything related to NH and walk away. I hate that I can't afford the DLC, considering that I'm already lagging behind everyone else. I'm just really dang frustrated because the DLC hints at colored lights and that was the ONE thing I wanted in an AC game. I don't care about the DLC itself, I just want the extra designing features. I don't know the point of playing if I'm never gonna get cool stuff since it's locked behind a paywall.
