Nobody needs to read this, its just a reference to look back on if I decide to reset ^^

I know that feeling, all too well. That's why I just said, screw it. I'm going to pick one of these maps, deal with it, and make it work. Then I created rules for myself. So, that I should stay motivated to keep this town and make it work.
 
I don't know if I should reset or not.. I don't want to end up regretting it. I don't want to lose Marshal or Marina either, since those are popular villagers and I got them from randomly moving in. I absolutely hate my town layout though. Nothing about it is convenient. The villagers houses are sporadically placed. The only thing holding me back is Mitzi, Merry, Marshal, and Marina. I don't really care about the badges and the only thing I did in the museum is the fossils. IDDDKK D:
 
(A mile long post coming up, I'm sorry!)

I haven't decided anything yet but I'm seriously considering resetting. I would like to hear your opinions about whether you think I should do it or not. I know it's initially up to me but maybe your opinions could help me with the decision.

Okay, the reason why I'm thinking about resetting is that a couple of things about my town layout have started to bother me. Take a picture of my town map...

(I have no idea how this shows up but yeah here it is...)

The town tree is near both the train tracks and the cliff. Not too good of a place. I don't like Re-Tail being near the cliff either. I tucked The Roost in a really stupid place, as well as the campsite. I don't have any idea what was going through my head when I placed them. I also have thee ponds and they are in the same half of my town. They are not in ideal places when you want to place paths. My own house is a bit too near the Town Hall. The rocks are in places where I would like my villagers to move in.

Let's get to the villagers then. Some of their houses are in really bad spots. I know I can have them move out but the problem is that some of them are my dreamies. Currently I have five of them and would really like to keep at least some of them. Keaton and Bob are in the right side of my Town Hall and their placing is bad. Also Keaton's house and the campsite are too close to one another. Coco is near the train tracks and Lily next to the pond. Stitches is right near my house.

That was about it.

Now I have some things that make it easier for me to consider restarting at this point. I haven't spent much money to PWP's so far. I'm not collecting badges or trying to make my catalogs or museum complete. I don't have a ton of furniture I would mind losing even though there is some. I don't have good paths yet and I haven't spend too much time on making my town pretty (which I really hope it would be).

On the other hand, I have completed my mayors house (the others are just tents) and I have T&T Emporium, second floor in the museum and all the shops exept for Katerinas. I have tons of hybrids but I suppose I could always sell most of them. Ad the dreamies... I really, really wouldn't like to lose Coco, Stitches or Bob. Preferably not Lily or Keaton either. So yeah, most of my neighbors are really nice.

I know I could ask people here to keep my stuff and maybe dreamies for a while so that I could get them to my new town if I decide to restart. But I'm not sure how comfortable I am with bothering people with it! Especially keeping dreamies is a lot to ask in my opinion... But I wouldn't like losing them and all my stuff if I decided to reset. And I still have used much time with my town even though there is still much work. I'm not completely happy with it. It would be better to reset now when I haven't accompliced too much than to wait and maybe do it later. I can only loose more if I do that.

So what do you think I should do? Try to make my town nicer or reset?

(Okay well now that I have put it all up I think I'm more into resetting... But I still need encouraging...)

It was really hard for me to decide to reset, but I am really happy I did. I had the museum complete, all shops on Main Street, all the PWP projects unlocked, a complete house and my dreamiest. But, I hated my town layout. It was the best decision for me. I love my new map and will take my time completing my goals.

I'm in the same shoes as you. I'm still on the verge of resetting, and it'll be my first time. I know I'll be up all night transferring things, trying to speed up upgrades, and feel bad about asking people to hold your things for a long time. People here seem really nice ;w; So it really helps along the way when they're willing to help out. I've been trying really really hard to cope with it, but the more effort I put into my town, the more I feel like its not helping and I regret the effort I put into it when I feel like I could've just stopped sooner to reset and get a town that works for me. It seems like the more I try to improve it, the feeling doesn't go away and it feels like a wasted effort. You're not alone!

We feel just the same. I have a feeling that I wont be statisfied with this town however hard I try. The layout was already bad enough and I just messed it up even more. It would feel bad to reset though, at least at the beginning of it. All the work and time put to your town would go to waste. But it's no use continueing with the current one either if you know it's just not going to work. By starting all over again better decisions could be made right from the start. We can't change some things in our towns anymore so we would just be stuck with them. I think it might be better to start all over again sooner rather than later even though it feel bad now to know that all the previous work has gone to waste. But if all would work out better in a new town I'm sure we would both feel happy about resetting.

But I just feel so bad asking anyone to hold my stuff. All my dreamies would be gone too. That's about the only reason why I'm hesitating.

I hope you can work things out with your town.

Ah thank you ;w; I agree completely. I apologized alot in my thread, it just feels pretty off asking. I wish I had known when first playing about plot resetting, map styles, and whatnot before I got the game ._. I also hate my town name, because it was once shared with my cousin. It's really hard to deal with. I dont know why I felt it was tolerable for awhile. I took long breaks from the game and I'm sucked back into it again. It doesn't hurt to seek help for holding things ^^ I feel like I'm asking for too much but its worth a shot.

Haha not liking your town name is horrible. I had to tolerate that in Wild World because I couldn't get myself to reset just because of that.

If you want I can hold something for you while you reset. I think I'll be resetting too but I have to collect a lot of money before that so that I can upgrade quickly. It'll take time so I might as well help you. :) Heading off to your thread. --->

Oops I didn't see this until now :) Thank you for helping me. I hope I can help you in return if you do decide to reset when I get all of it cleared up. I'd be happy to~
 
I reset again a few weeks ago but after a few days of play I stopped playing altogether. Now I just want to reset again... I think I'm on my way to becoming a serial resetter... I can't tell if I'm just fed up of the game or if I genuinely just want to reset.
 
I think i've finally found a town that I will genuinely keep. I've been away from AC and here for ages, so i've come back with fresh eyes, a fresh mind and a fresh town. I feel that I will actually get somewhere in this town, and won't end up just resetting after a while.

I have recovered from being a serial resetter... I think.

Same here. I even tried to make a self imposed rule stating that I can't reset again, for a year, but I just can't help it. I keep saying, "Okay, this is the last time.", but it never is.
 
So I've lost interest in my game, after I've given Jake back Julian, I think I'm going to reset and find a map I like. I chose this out of excitement for the game coming out. Any ideas on what I should look out for?
 
I have finally found my perfect town. I shall no longer be restarting. Just thought I should announce that, because I am quite happy with it :D

What kind of town are you thinking about doing? Do you plan to landscape it, or are you going to put a certain theme on it?

This might be helpful in choosing a map:
tumblr_mo7p62s89d1svownfo4_1280.png

If you want to do a lot of landscaping, then I'd suggest a shorter, straighter river with fewer ponds. It gives more room for PWPs and other things like that.
A town that involves a sequence that a visitor needs to follow (or a story-line), might be better off with a map like B6 on the image above. It makes it easier to follow round the river without things getting confusing.

Hope this helps a bit. :)

Congrats! It's not always easy to find the town you want.
