The Resetting Thread

Resetted my cycling town yesterday and found a good map on my second try

Gonna make a horror town :D
Starter villagers: Fauna, Static, Peanut, Cole, Goose
The only bad thing is that the rocks may become a nuisance and that the Native Fruit is Pear...I've gotten Oranges and Cherries before, so I guess it's good to get another fruit!
And Marshal's plot is there XD
 
Hello! ^o^

I have been playing ACNL since last September and my current in-game date is January 2015. I have been debating between resetting a lot lately - I have also just lost Whitney out of the blue (forgive me Animal Crossing if I can't play my game for three days) and it is too risky to cycle through 16 villagers to get her back.

My town layout is also starting to bug me a bit because villager homes are either keeping my from placing PWP's or PWP's are keeping villagers from moving into certain spots.

I also really hate my character's eyes. Lol I know that seems silly but she has these odd circle ones and after finding a face guide online I really want to change it.

The only thing is that I don't want to lose my sets. I have a gorgeous set, sweets set, snowman set, ice set, weeding day set, rococo set, mermaid set. Not a lot, but mostly unorderable.

I'd probably host giveaways for my villagers (because some of them are fairly popular, I believe) Except for Tia. I promised that user I'd give Tia a forever home so I'll have to find somebody to hold her. But then I paid 25 million for Stitches... But I do know somebody who is searching for him..

I don't know ... It feels like a chore to come on and I'd like a fresh start, but I'm also a bit attached to my town, you know?

Anyways - what do you guys think? Should I reset?
 
Day 4 now. I don't find resetting as horrible as I did last time as I opted into watching Avatar: The Last Airbender while I reset. :) It even inspired my town's name.. Kyoshi. Kyoshi Island. :D

I resetted today and I adore my new town. My layout is fab - I still have my sight on the edge of the cliff near the waterfall and overlooking the beach, the island fruit is Pears - yay and my villagers are fab!! Cyrano has always been one of my favourites from my past game and when I saw him, along with Bob, in this town I knew it was a keeper. I also have Merry so I'm pretty chuffed to have two kitties running around my town.
I've set up my gardens - fingers crossed hybrids start popping up tomorrow so I can get my plans sorted and have managed to accumulate enough bells to pay for my house to start being built, yay!!

Super happy I decided to reset and I really do love my little town <3

If the layout bothers you to the point where you feel you can't work with it and make it nice, and if you don't like your character's appearance, those are good reasons to reset.

Items and villagers can be held. Starting over sounds daunting and tedious, like a waste of time, but it also gives you something to do. A fresh start. If you are/were losing interest in the game, resetting might help rekindle that.

Go for it unless you really feel you'll regret it... Good luck. :)
 
I'm just about to start getting back into this game. I'm excited.
I have Olivia, Nan, Chester, Peggy and Rory.
 
I actually have been lazy and didn't reset at all today.. but I'm so tired and sad today I just want to sleep. I need to reset though.. I want my map.
 
I don't know why people dislike resetting so much. I know it's time consuming but I like seeing all the map choices and villagers you get in the beginning
 
I like resetting and starting new towns too. : D Which is why I have a designated cartridge for resetting and experimenting with new towns, villagers, and map layouts.

I HATE getting the Development Permit, though. Most obnoxious part of starting a new town. Also, cutting down most of the trees so I can see can never come fast enough.
 
I love resetting almost more than anything else about the game. Unfortunately, by now, I pretty much know the names and personalities of all the villagers in the game. But I think I've finally found my town. It's practically perfect, to me, aside from the red train station, which I don't really care that much about, anyway.
 
I feel guilty for considering resetting.. Especially since I told myself that I'm not "allowed" to until I reach a bunch of goals I set for myself (which would take ages, because I've been playing day-by-day). I already got two of my current towns dream villagers, too - both given to me for free.

But I've been thinking about how it'd be neat to have a "Christmas-y" town - which I would name "N. Pole" (as in "North Pole") - and the mayor would be Santa Claus (who I would name either Santa or Nicholas).

And unlike my current town, I would actually make "mule" characters so I can create paths. (I'd dress the mules like elves, too. Though I haven't thought of any names for them)

I'd also cut down ALL of the trees, and use patterns to mark where I want to plant new ones - cedar only, though. (because they look like Christmas trees!)
And as for bushes.. I'd use holly. (that should go without saying)


I've already picked out what villagers I'd use for this town, what type of grass I want, and have an idea of what kind of map I'd want, too..

But I've been playing with my current town day-by-day since about May 14, and I'd hate to lose everything I worked for. D: I don't know what I should doooooo...
 
That's such a cute idea. >_< I have other ideas but I wanna get my zen town finished and I wanna have a cycling copy.

I've considered just buying another copy of the game, so I don't lose all the stuff in my Frog town.. I mean, I have the money to do it, but still - $30 just so I don't have to reset? I don't even like my town that much - the map is not what I'd like it to be, I don't like where the facilities were spawned, I don't like where I put my house, I haven't - and don't plan to - make paths..

The only thing preventing me from resetting is how much time I've spent on this one.

So I find this histerical. I have been trying to reset to get Chief as a starting villager and I got bored. I decided I would name my player Freya and town Snooty. Freya was one of the starters lol
 
H-Hello to all!
Introducing New Mayor; Esha! <3
Rather, I haven't access a 3DS charger in /MONTHS/ leading to me having the "reset" itch when arriving back yesterday.
What do you guys think of these two?
I'm quite picky so upon arriving, the town of choosing had better come with Shiny Apples, and Cicrly~Grass.
Oh shoot, I'll have to pst 3 times before showing the maps >w<
