The Resetting Thread

I'm thinking of resetting :/ this would be my 2nd time resetting, and I'm considering this because I lost Mira (one of my original four dreamies, I've had the same Mira since my old town). My shops are all complete, I like all my villagers (except not having Mira), and know I'd have to take the time to save my items and money. I'm not sure if I'd save my villagers because that can also take awhile (I'd just reset then lurk here and tumblr for the same villagers and get them that way) The reason I don't want to do the 16-villager cycle for Mira is because I just finished doing it for Erik and it took a very long time and I lost villagers I liked in the process. I felt kinda ok with resetting but then I just realized my museum is almost complete too...:'( but the thought of starting fresh with a new map sounds nice...but I'd also lose all my PWP suggestions...-_-
I'd love some input from everyone else!

Well to me it sounds like you don't really want to reset. I suggest you wait a while and if you still think you want to reset then go for it :)

Thanks a lot! :) As I think I mentioned the idea sounds kinda nice but I've done quite well in my town, but I may think about it a bit longer :) Maybe take time to gather things like fossils to help me along if I do reset.

I continued resetting last night. I planned to be in it for the long haul, but I found a pretty nice town. Perfect spot for my house, nice curvy river, one big beach. There is a tiny private beach but it's REALLY tiny, so I'm okay with it.

I was totally expecting to be bummed out when I entered the town, but I got excited super fast! Circle grass AND pears!

The things I am unhappy about are the villagers. I really don't like them. Earlier in my search, I looked at a town and LOVED the starting villagers. But the rest of the town was poop. So, I'm disappointed that the town I actually like has poopy villagers.

Bunnie and Gayle are the only decent ones from my prespective.
Also have:

Robin - whose too close to my house, otherwise he'd be okay
Broccolo - cool name, horrible aesthetics!
Mac - bad aesthetics again...but crankys have a tendency to grow on me.

6th villager moving in is Klaus. Not too find of this one either.

I'll be looking forward to when I can start moving some of these guys out!

I'm actually restarting tonight!

...Uh. But I've restarted before (this is my 2nd time; I've had this town since early June, my very very first town only lasted a day or two) and I know the guilt-trip that's coming if I select "Recreate the town." This is all for the best my town sucks rn, no joke but it's hard letting go of a 1+ year old town... Good memories erased, you know?

But I have to! This is what I want.
 
Wow. I actually found a map I like on the first try.

Lavender Map.jpg

(Poor quality of course, sorry.) Villagers: Chief, Drift, Bertha, Portia, Peanut.

If anybody has opinions, please share them.
THE GOOD:
-Town fruit is cherries!, circle grass, blue train station & green/brown town hall
-Town hall right above plaza
-Retail by train station
-Little neighborhood area in the south, ofc.
-Enough space for some things I want to do (unlike old town)
-Chief!!! Portia and Peanut are good too.
-East-facing beach, different from old town
-Straight river except for that bend, where my house will go <3

THE BAD:
-Rocks, rocks everywhere
-Chief just had to put his house by the town hall...
-Farthest pond on the right may get on my nerves
-Dat split beach
-That bend where my house will go? 6 spaces wide. Houses are 3x5. The off-center placement is killing me.

THE UGLY:
-Bertha
CONCLUSION: <3

(So Bertha isn't really that bad, she's just my least favorite. Everybody but Chief will likely be moving, but I like them all enough except that Bertha is just 'okay.')
 
What about that whole upper-right area? It's definitely more space than what I had before. And honestly, 2 of the 3 ponds are out of the way, so I can work around that last one no problem.

That sounds like a good plan. :) It's much better than what I do anyways, when I restart I start completely from scratch...

Speaking of which, I restarted again last night! I found a town I kind of like fairly quickly but it's not perfect so I'm thinking of deleting it... This is my fourth time resetting since I got new leaf. I think I might just be a bit of a serial resetter. :p

I've decided to change my cycling town into a 'real' town, which will be a 2.0 version of my main town Kibicity: better placements, better map, better everything! And I will try to get all these villagers that I could have had in my main town because I like them, but can't because I have no room for them. I'll call it 'Neo Key', I can't start working on it because I'm holding two villagers (Coco and Julian) for two friends + two villagers for myself (Muffy and Apollo). In Neo Key, I will try to get Hamphrey, that way I can stop the super slow cycling in Kibicity and get another cool Cranky instead (I had a crush on Apollo).

Felt like sharing my plans n_n
 
I dunno if this counts, but I just got a digital copy of the game, started with a town I thought I wanted, and decided today to start resetting again. It's so hard to choose, I've been at it all day. I really want a town with the plaza in the middle, but apparently that's a rare thing.
 
Of course it counts! I would say try to have a few things that you're okay with not being ideal or just have no opinion on. Otherwise, you'll be looking for the town with a tiny probability of being generated.

I was fortunate that I didn't have to reset too much. The town I did choose doesn't have the green train station or a different town hall than my first game. However, all the others things that can't be changed are nearly perfect. Now I'm just dealing with less than ideal starting villagers.

I'm in a similar situation. I start a town and then I want to delete it the next day. It's annoying, I just want to play but I keep thinking whatever town I pick isn't quite right.

I was also keeping an eye out for a plaza in the centre but I think I'm going to have to give up on it and stick with what I wanted originally - a south facing waterfall, two lakes max and the plaza and town hall close together.
 
I'm with you guys (kamiyama34 and Hazel), I've been resetting for a new town for days (on my 4th copy... crazy, I know)... and I have very specific wishes for that town (river layout, town fruit, grass shape, location of Re-Tail/town hall/plaza etc.). I even made up a rating system. I've now found a town which scores a rating of 85% and the starters are great (including Bruce, Goldie, Baabara and Cole <3) - but I'm still not perfectly happy. The overall river layout is perfect, but the all the little nooks and bends of the river (and the land, and the beach) don't look quite right... and the Re-Tail pond is on the wrong side and a real hassle. Also, some rocks are really awkward.

I think I will try out this town and see if I can learn to love it because I'm really sick of resetting...
 
Ive been thinking of resetting for a while, but i cant seem to make a decision :(
I have some awesome villagers that id miss so much, but at the same time i want to experience new villagers.
My map is....lets not talk about the map.
The layout is almost terrible, but so far ive seemed to make it work.
I dont know ughugh
Also I kind of want to experience villagers through luck of the draw because ive traded almost all of my current villagers, (but at the same time i love my villagers!!)
I want a better more interesting map for sure i think.
Plus i dont know if im willing to have to reset paths and restart to where the stores have almost nothing in them.
sigh
 
I found a map I really like! I decided to go for my old preferences again cause I'd rather have more room for pwps than a center plaza placement. This is my map:

I'm planning on putting the cafe to the left of the plaza, the police station either to the south of the town hall or the left of the train station and having a campsite area by the pond on the right. And the best part is it has Hamlet (one of my major dreamies) and Molly too! Hopefully I'll actually manage to keep this town for good and never reset again :)

Your map looks almost identical to mine. Except for me, the town hall is below the pond by the train station, that pond is facing horizontal, not vertical. The pond by Retail is on the right, not the left. The bridge is below the plaza and the plaza is by retail. And also the bottom beach is a little more skinnier and it leads to the beach by traveling to the left. (not right like yours). So it's almost identical.

Also, it's ironic how the area where you put your house is where I put one of my other character's house.

You have a nice map, and nice villagers. I would put the Police Station next to the Cafe if I were you. (If there were any room, though)
 
I may want to start again oktober first but I'm so out of the game (haven't played for a couple of months) and with Omega Ruby around the corner .. Not sure if I will get into it again.
