The Resetting Thread

I reset after getting pretty far in the game because my dreamies moved out and i hated my layout. But i had someone who held all my rare items and bells so it wasn't too bad...
 
Did no map resetting yesterday..

Now it's Day 6. I will go as far as I need to this time lol. I want this town to be perfect and I don't want to reset ever again..
 
Gdi, I keep coming up with more town ideas..

Now - on top of the Christmas themed town I mentioned I wanted to do the other day - I want a Harvest Moon themed town.

I'd make the Mayor one of the playable characters in the HM series, and then maybe pick a few of the NPC/villagers to be the mule characters (that or base them off of the other playable characters in the series).. I think it would be cool if I could find a QR code for like, tilled soil or something, too, so I can have a crop field near my house.

I even went ahead and picked out the villagers I'd use (they're all HM themed, too):

you come up with some really cool ideas, Mephisto. I love the idea of a Harvest Moon themed town.
 
Suddenly I see what everyone means by "THOSE NARROW STRIPS OF LAND ARE AWFUL NO SPACE FOR PWPS"
I mean there's tons of space, yes, but there's not much room for paths; narrower maps are better for more natural or pathless towns.


I'm thinking about cafe placement atm and I really don't have a spot for it, but I am not resetting again. I'm so determined to make this town work

I love this idea! ^^ I bookmarked some patterns for tilled soil a long time ago. (I also bookmarked a lot of patterns for Harvest Moon clothing, but I never have used any of them...) For mayor, Pete/Jack is of course the iconic farmer of the series. Though it might be neat to do the actual Mayor from some of the games (HM64/Back to Nature/so on. Mayor Thomas I think?)

Here's the soil patterns: http://mayormeadow.tumblr.com/post/82701648400
 
Only did a few map resets today.. No luck at all. That's day 7 or 8 now. Been on a league addiction lately.
 
Thinking of restarting my town... AGAIN?

I just restarted my town about a week ago and now I'm just not too happy with the villagers mainly in my town and the placement of some of the rocks throughout my town. I would love to restart again and try to get at least one of my dreamies as one of my starting villagers, and to get better rock placements since half of them would be in the middle of where I would be putting my path designs down.

What do you guys think? Should I restart since I wouldn't have much to lose in my town?

You're not far along.

I wrote about and posted the topic yesterday:

I will be resetting my second town Progress after I transfer approximately half of the villagers. (If I do a little more, good!)


The map is important for the appeal of navigating the town; but, not just that, it's important for how well the town functions. With my soon-to-be-reset town, it doesn't feel like it has potential to be lasting in appeal. (You can visit in a Dream Address.)

If you've gone far into the game with a particular town (for example, that you have your Museum nearly full and you have T&T Emporium), then I wouldn't recommend resetting at all. I'd buy a brand-new copy of "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" and pretty much freeze that town's gate date. (Write it on a small piece of paper for the next time you would play it.) But, from what you've described, there is nothing to lose by resetting.
 
If you really hate the rock placements you have, and your town is only a week old, it's probably a good idea to reset before you have your town for much longer. Villagers can be changed (and quite easily here on the Villager Trading Plaza part of the forum), so I would never think resetting a town for that reason would be good, but the rock placement issue is understandable. :)
 
I'm going to reset....again. Go figure. This time I'm going to "rough it". No time traveling, no plot resetting, no constant resetting for a certain town fruit, better villagers, or better map. Yeah. This will be the last time. I swear. I'm never going to accomplish anything, if I keep messing up my plans.
 
I'm so indecisive to restart.. For a lot of reasons.
I didn't know at all that you can change maps so when i first made my town and character, i basically chose the first option given to me. I also really regret my town name. But I have 9 out of 10 dreamies so i just can't start from scratch unless someone was really that nice to hold all my items, clothes, and 9 villagers ;.; i don't want to buy a second copy either. I hate my town fruit of oranges, and I hate some of the house placements of my villagers. Surprisingly i do like the placement of my town hall, train station, plaza, and retail considering it was my first choice of map. It's all close in one part of town. My river isn't too big and its a connected beach. I just. My town name is killing me. And the house placements. I didn't even know about plot resetting at the time. @-@. I wish I could just change my town name or possibly reset with someone willing to help with looooots of patience but I'll find a way to accept it.
 
I've been toying with the idea of resetting for a few weeks now, because I hadn't touched the game in a while. I just didn't feel like getting back into it unless I started anew, but I think I'm going to suck it up. The only annoying thing is I'm in July (obviously) and I'm kinda too far in to get some collectables (like bugs) and I can't get them unless I time travel, which I don't want to do. Eh, I think I'm just going to stick in there and make sure I play more regularly so I don't feel like this again, haha. I wouldn't want to reset anyway with all my achievements.
 
Here is my new town. I love the bottom right corner; it's like a little neighborhood. I like the small strip of land because I use it for the campsite. The town has a wide open feel to it which I really wanted. I also like the small private beach. Only took me a couple of days to finally find this map. Oh, and cherries as the native fruit.
