The Resetting Thread

Ugh, I want to reset again. I just resetted my town 2 weeks ago, and now I'm starting to realize I hate my current town. I've been planing out my town and I'm realizing some things I don't like. I don't know if I should reset or not because I need someone to hold my stuff and the last time someone held stuff it was a pain since I had way too many things.
 
Just reset for the second time. I was losing too many dreamies from not playing and was really unhappy with it. I was hesitant until Elise crushed the only part of town I took pride in anymore.
My boyfriend bought ACNL and never played it, so he let me use his 3DS and town to drop stuff in. It's a good layout, oranges and I thought I had circle grass, but it's squares. I didn't have enough time to keep resetting, so I've accepted it. I hated my triangle grass and pears, so I can accept this.

Currently no dreamies. I hoped to get one or two when I restarted, but nope. I'm hoping I luck out in the random move-ins, or I remember to plot reset to get one or two of them.

Hi, I'm a new ACNL player, on my fifth day and have played 21 hours, so pretty intensive. Today I got island access and it seems to me that I'm running much too far between the dock and Re-Tail store, and from home to the town hall. I'm working on my first bridge, but I don't think my bridges will help much with this layout. Is that a primary issue as the game progresses? Can you please look at my map and offer your advice before I put more time into this? Many thanks.

Edit: After reading many pages in this and the map sharing thread, I decided to start over and I found a map I like. My new town feels more spacious, has lots more trees, just has a more generous feeling to it. Thanks for the many comments I found here in this thread.

If anyone's interested, here's my new map. The Re-Tail store is not close, but the route is much more direct, when taking the east ramp up from the dock. The Town Hall, Re-Tail, and public square are all together, my house sits next to a lake, the river, and a waterfall and no villager can place a home directly in front. There are fewer rocks, and lots of vertical river which is nice for fishing.

map twinsies!
 
Getting to start map resetting for Novus after I finish this darned paper >-> I'm mostly looking for a town that has apples, a south facing waterfall, a plaza in the middle of the map and maybe town hall and ReTail on either side of the train station.
 
I got a pretty decent town map. I found about 3 maps that were perfect/ok. Sadly one of the towns I had that was literally perfect ended up being erased because apparently the game wasn't "inserted"... And 2 of those towns ad Goldie :( This town has:
-peaches (I was going for oranges/apples)
-triangle grass (was going for square, but at least it's not circle)
-south water fall
-All buildings n the same side of town
-Has Maple (so thank god I don't have to re-buy her because she was in my last town)
-Private island (I'm ok with either)
-Decent starters
-Not too many ponds
-long river
-The small strip of land on the top left
-Beach facing the right
-Decent colored Train Station/Town Hall

I'm pretty happy, but I have to get used to the triangle grass.
 
I've been resetting for almost a week now. I was being extremely selective on the features of my new town. In the end, I made a few sacrifices, but I'm happy with the end result.

Pros:
Cherries
Circle Grass
yellow town hall
the specific location I wanted to put my home was open
fairly simple river
re-tail right next to train station
town hall right next to train station on other side
plaza tucked nicely into the upper corner

after seeing all of the above were in place in the town, I was willing to accept having two beaches (instead of one long one, which would have been ideal, but oh well), and there were 3 ponds in the town instead of just 1 (which would have been perfect, but ponds aren't such a big deal anyways as long as they aren't blocking something important, so it's all good)
 
I came across a town I REALLY liked to look of, everything was where I wanted it, it even had apples! But sadly, Ankha was right in front of the town hall :(
 
I just restarted, and Marcie had her house right in front of the town hall too. I decided too keep it, as I really liked the layout, and after 2 weeks waiting she moved out 2 days ago. Villagers can move out - but your layout can't change.

I've cycled like 5 times now and I don't really like doing it. Personally map resetting is easier for me.
 
I had MilkyWay since the game came out. I've done re-landscaping so many times already until I wanted to move some permanent PWPs so I reset. I also wanted a new map layout. Btw, I just restarted yesterday and apple is my new town fruit. I love apples so I'm happy! :D

i finally gave up
im resetting my second town
im letting my brother have my second map bc im done
 
I'm debating over whether or not to reset my second town (Piyo). I really do love the map, and already spent time getting the villagers I wanted for that theme idea, but I had another idea for a theme I want to try out which would require a different set of villagers. I figure that I could just get these villagers out and a new set in, but I don't like the name I gave my mayor, and the town name wouldn't fit.

The only thing holding me back isn't the villagers (I can easily give them to my cycling town so they get new homes...or in Apple's case, to my main town because I've fallen in love with her cuteness), but that I'm just reluctant to do it. I'm definitely not going to reset my main town, and my third copy is a cycling town. I was thinking of maybe using that cartridge when I'm done cycling, but it's handy to have a spare game in case a villager doesn't ping before going into boxes like they should (Zell, look'n at you).

I also don't want to buy a fourth copy; it's excessive to have four copies of the game game, I wouldn't be able to manage three towns, and I'm saving up for when Fantasy Life comes out.
 
I'm thinking of reseting because I really don't like my town layout and I barely have room for more pwps because of trees and the river and other houses and it's just a big mess. The only thing I'm like REALLY worried about losing is my badges, the amount of money I've spent on my house, that lil part of my player card that says been registered June 9th, 2013, my fish, bugs and fossils. I've only had 2 dreamies move in since I got the game so I don't care about villagers really. I'm also thinking of just buying another game card and starting there but I'm still not sure of the whole idea of getting a new town...
