The Resetting Thread

Animal Crossing Map.jpg

Here's my map, I just recently reset.

I'm considering resetting again though since I prefer having a river going down the middle of my map. I like the plaza in the middle, a vertical slope for the dock, and the town hall near the top.

*sigh* I'm picky when it comes to towns...
 
Just started to reset tonight. Did so for about an hour & 45 minutes. Found a town that I'm on the fence with.

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it. What should I do? I'm so picky. \(?_?)/

Pros:
River isn't too boring - nice & flowy
Pears!
Spot for my house by the waterfall (but does it leave enough room for landscaping? I don't know...)

Neutral:
Rolf - I have him on my other town to move to the new town...but I got him I the new one by chance.
Green town hall
Brown/beige train station - it's nice but my first town has it and I wanted green~
Only two ponds

Cons:
Triangle grass - I really wanted circle grass this time around
Some rocks are a bit annoying
Spilt beaches - I want one big one!

I just resetted my town. I'm surprised how fast it took me to find a town, it took me 30 minutes, it usually takes me 4-12 hours.

It's pretty decent, it has:
Oranges (which I'm ok with)
Square grass
Southern waterfall
All the buildings are on the same side of town as the train station
Not too much ponds, it's not clustered together either.
Green Train Station
It has a purple/red town hall with a weeping fig
Curvy river
It has multiple peninsulas, I especially like this one peninsula where I put my house on and I can put a path that leads UP to it :D
 
Lucky you. It's been 2 months for me so I decided to take a break in my search and just start a cycling town. I definitely want a town before Halloween though..
 
I never thought I'd actually reset, but it's looking like a better and better idea the more I think about it.

Pros:
-Better layout!
-Less ponds.
-Fresh start. (Emphasis on this x1000)
-Better Train Station/Town Hall roof colors (I have brown and yellow right now, yuck)
-New name if I want, but I don't know if I want to keep it (Cake) or name it something different (Lavender?)
edit: -Almost forgot: No need to cycle for Roald!!

Cons:
-I'll have to find someone to hold all my items and bells...
-...and my villagers. Well, Lolly, anyway.
-Lots of wasted progress.
-Ugh, I'll have to start from the beginning again, with tutorials and everything.
-Resetting gets annoying.

Overall, I'm unsatisfied with my town, but the effort to bring over all my important belongings and villagers is pretty discouraging...

I love reading through this thread it's really helping me out.

Okay, so I've reset Pasadena, my second town, it just wasn't good for me, layout sucked, and it was just ugly imo, with the town I left behind TONS of hybrids and 20 million bells, because I just feel like, whatever, I can get that all back, it's just easier to reset.

So I was finding layouts basically all of the PM yesterday, and settled on one because it had 2 villagers that made me feel comfortable (one I've had in the past, and a peppy, they just make me happy). But now I hate the layout. It's HORRID. The river goes from top to bottom, I have to go so far to get around to the bridge. Okay, so my point ISSS, now I'm going to restart and maybe I'll keep looking for more than just today. I don't want to settle for something, I want a good layout. So here's my list of needs as a reference to myself, and maybe to others.

NEEDS:
- River that doesn't go too far upwards
- West Coast
- Smaller bottom half under the river than above the river.
- At least 2 Villagers I feel comfortable with/like
- Apples/Oranges/Peaches as Fruit.


So there it is! And maybe I should justify some things as well. I know people say "well, you can always change villagers so don't base your opinion on that" well, I disagree, I just don't like having a town with more villagers that I dislike than like. So I feel like I need to find a town that includes at least 2 villagers that I like, like meaning, one that I've had in another town in the past that I was okay with/a villager from a list I made (too long to post!). Secondly, the fruit! I think that it sucks when you have to use a ton of saplings to plant trees. So I feel like apples are good because, well apple trees are everywhere! Looks natural! Peaches and Oranges are pretty. I say no to cherries and pears because I've had them in other towns in the past, and just don't like their look. Lastly, I like the river to split the town into a larger top half and a smaller bottom half, seems more cozy to me for some reason, I just really like it!
 
Update:

Gonna try out this town for a while see if I like it. Layout is good, villagers are great, I love all of them! Only downside is cherries as native fruit.

Okay I think I've found my town.. I really love it. I can see myself starting a new animal crossing life here.
 
This is the map that I selected to try out. But I'm thinking I'm going to continue resetting. TI'm not sure if I'm really even interested in playing...I don't know if I'm just not finding it fun or if it just wasn't the right map + triangle grass is bugging me. I feel like I'm just missing that fun spark from this game and I just bought this second copy. I was super excited to get it too. It's weird.

I found a pretty cool town!

Starters are Vesta (yesss), Rudy (yess), Ruby (yess), Rizzo (ew) and Queenie (ewww)

Ruby is in a bad place but I can work around it. Plaza is in a great spot, so is town hall. There's a perfect spot for my house, beach is lovely, and peaches! yay!
 
Okay. Okay. I'm doing it. I'm restarting, tonight.

I won't be terribly picky about the layout, but... I admit I'll probably keep resetting for something as trivial as the wrong fruit or town hall/train station colors. I need peaches or apples, and... colors other than brown or yellow. (I got sick of them in my old town.)
 
I have a second save file that I've been resetting since yesterday afternoon.

I'm really hoping to make my secondary town into my primary, but I'm so so picky I'm starting to doubt I'll find anything I'm happy with. I really like the mountain range to the left, with the sea open to the right - I'm looking for a continuous beach, with a little private area. I LOVE the look of a centralized tree, and the town MUST have apples as a native fruit. Ugh, this is going to take a while. u_u
 
WHAT LUCK! Only a few more minutes of resetting, and I found EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.

I know what you mean. I'm already making pathways, and I'm pretty happy the way they're falling together - I'll keep it. :D
