The Resetting Thread

Does anyone think it's worth it to reset if I'm losing two of my dreamies, Marshal and Fuchsia? I dislike my town's layout and I'm not worried about losing donations and such.

You could always ask someone trustworthy to hold them both for you. Then you can reset without regretting losing your dreamies later on.

I'm resetting my second, Progress, at some point in August.

I think what helps answer your question is this: 1) How far along are you? (Meaning, with the Museum plus the T&T shops.) And 2) Why are you resetting?

If you come out on the side that says, "I'm not losing too much and I would be gaining plenty more," then resetting may be the thing to do.

I am going to reset Progress because: 1) I don't have too much invested in items given to Blathers at the Museum; 2) The layout of the map isn't going to let me do with Progress what I want from the town.
 
This is my map currently:

I really liked the layout when I first saw it and some pros on why I kept it in the first place
*the beach was on the left
*re-tail was fairly close to the train station incase I needed to let people in to use retail for selling turnips, or buying real art and what not (which I've yet to do)
*it has a little tiny island (I know most ppl don't like the small island but I love them cuz I like one continuous strip of beach when I fish, I hate having to use the wetsuit or walk through town to get to the other side of the beach)
*and the original 5 villagers did not have a smug or uchi personality so I was able to house plot for Julian and Muffy and not pay a ridiculous amount of bells for them
*MAJOR PRO: I have all my Dreamies

Cons:
*Julian put his house right behind my mayors house
*I have all my dreamies, and I'm not sure if I should have ppl hold them or just trade for them again when I restart
*and I just spent hours yesterday camp resetting and finally got Rosie (but I'm not sure if she's a dreamie or not, giving her a trial run)


The layout I was thinking of trying to get looks like this

Pros for new map:
*beach would be on the left
*small little island/continuous strip of beach

Cons:
*would probably take forever to actually find it
*location of re-tail, town hall, plaza, and ponds will vary and I may not like it


So yea, that's about all I could think about for right now. I'm already thinking about buying a 3rd copy of the game and I could always use that to cycle for my dreamies back, I just don't know when/if i'll get it. So I guess my real question is...which town map do you think is better?

If it's just the map and the fact that Julian parked his house right in front of your mayor's house, then I wouldn't bother resetting. The pros definitely outweigh the cons after all, and it'll be so much hassle to get someone to hold all of your dreamies for you while you reset. Maybe you could learn to love Julian's house placement, even it's difficult when they're in a bad spot (Marshal dropped his house right in front of my Town Hall in my old town ~ I considered resetting, but I didn't).

Your dream map and current map look very similar too, so I don't think it's worth resetting for that either. Unless you want to of course.
 
I reset and couldn't be happier with my new map! It has only 1 lake this time. My last map had 4 in he worst places. It made landscaping difficult.
 
After a 3 month hiatus, I decided to work on resetting again after giving up. I wasn't looking for absolute perfect villagers this time. One dream villager was enough. I got an amazing map and Fauna as a villager! (she is my absolute favourite, aha) Also peanut, who I can possibly trade for another villager, give away to someone who wants her, or sell for funds to buy for another villager. Who knows, I may keep her!
 
I'm currently map resetting my second town. I got a very good map for my first town, and only had minimal plot resetting to do, and this one's taken six hours with no dice. Whatever. It'll definitely be worth it!
 
I reset my town again because why not.
And I'm so glad I did!

I got a really good map, villagers were lined up in a row (four of them, the other is further away), lots of space, and

I GOT DIANA, STITCHES, KID CAT, KIKI AND ROSIE AS STARTERS AHAHAHA.

Plot reset for them in your new town. In every town, you have to plot reset for a smug and an uchi.
 
Should I reset? I have almost all of my dreamies and all the PWPs I ever wanted. My town really developed a ton and I'm really loving the Minecraft theme! I only need one more shop to unlock and my museum/encyclopedia is almost complete. I've hoarded tons of rare items that I may not be able to find that easily through trading. My town map always annoyed me and I hate the placement of the police station. The south of my town has a bunch or curvy land which makes it hard to plant bushes and trees. My house is coming along really well (most of the rooms don't have music and my basement is trash :p), but my alt's home is not even close to being done. I still need to add more flowers and bushes too. My main beach with the dock is extremely lengthy and it stretches around my town. I'm not sure whether I should reset or not! D: My DA is in my sig in case anyone is curious about how my town looks right now.

I'd have a look at your town but don't have the dream suite so oh well!

You, my friend, are in a tricky situation. You've progressed really far in your town, and from you've said, you obviously love it and are probably proud of it! However, you don't like your map. That's an issue, as obviously your town map cannot be changed.

If I were you, I'd reset, because, being the serial resetter that I am, I always manage to find a reason to want to reset (my current reason being wanting to TT and have huge open space.) But your town has progressed so much, and is obviously amazing, so I would say that you should probably keep your town and just learn to live with your map. Good luck with whatever you do with your town, and I'm here to help if you need any help! :)

Thank you for your opinion! This is definitely a very sticky situation! :p
 
Yeah. I'm sure you'll find a way to deal with it!

In the meantime, though, I need to stay away from this thread; my serial resetter instincts are coming out again!!

Though technically I wouldn't lose much...

Wow, your town is amazing! This will be a hard choice for you. I reset my town after completing it because I hated my map. It was hard, but now I love my town map. Good luck to you!

Thanks! I might just get a second copy...
 
Second copies are a waste of money imo, cause then you have two towns to keep up with and it all goes haywire. If you really don't like your town, then just get someone (or some people) to hold your favorite things and reset to get a better map.

I dunno, it's completely your choice.

I swear, my advice is not helping me at all...

Hmm...you do have a point. I think I'll just keep my town as it is right now. :)
 
My advice helped you but not me.

I'm restarting again. Yes, I know. I've restarted like 24892673 times. But the game was made for people to enjoy, and I dunno, I enjoy resetting and experiencing new towns. I'm going to dump everything in my sister's town, then I'm going to find a decent town and probably cycle for a bit. Eventually, I think I will make a proper town to settle down in, but for now, I'm just going to do as I please, reset, make a nice town, I dunno.
