I had a town where my face was hideous but my map was great. I restarted anyway. You can destroy some PWPs and replace. If your Re-Tail and Town Hall are in great places...then I guess I'd stick to it... I regret my town name too but not enough to pack up my bags.

I'm not entirely sure if I should reset, I love my town and all, but I don't like it's map, I'm not very far, about to get the supermarket, I have Shampoodle, Club LOL, and Dream Suite however.
I love a majority of my villagers, but, I just don't know what's missing, if anyone has any advice or would be willing to hold villagers/items or any of that stuff if I do reset please PM me.

I feel like I should reset, I really don't like my town layout and I think it'd be really fun to experiment with a new layout and town name
Although it'll be a pain in the butt to get all the town shops and remodels, and of course to get my dreamies again

See if you can get people to hold your dreamies.
You could even offer a 10 BTB reqard for helping or something. If you really want to reset, do it. I'm sure some freinds could hold your dreamies while you reset for a couple days.I reset because I wanted to make a themed town and I am very happy with the decision, even though I lost some wonderful villagers in the process. But my old town was pretty much done. I'd maxed out three houses, completed the museum except for two stubborn pieces of art and almost all my badges were gold. I couldn't bear to let my favourite villagers leave, but I wanted new villagers.
It took a few hours to drag all the stuff I would struggle to get again to my husband's town and then pick it up again, but other than that the process was great. I got to name my town something that made sense for the theme (and the same with the mayor character, too) and I wasn't tied down to my old, irreversible decisions. Having an isolated castle on a peninsula was great for a fairytale themed town, but it wouldn't work for something more like a city which is what I wanted to try next.
I wouldn't want to push anyone either way towards resetting, but it definitely breathed new life into the game for me. It's great to get the thrill of unlocking things again!

Should I reset? I got this thing in my town

I don't think you should reset over one villager. You have to wait until they move out, sure, but depending on your progress, I don't think you should unless you're still early in the game.
I don't like the chicken design. And I have T&T Emporium. I had EVERYTHING and reset in a town Planetee. Plus, my town name, Kokai no, and my character name, Natsu, could use upgrading.

Okay guys...I have a huge dilemma.
I've had my town, Macaron, since May 31st of this year, and so far it is the most successful and best town I've had. I love it so much and have accomplished tons since I started. I have a few dreamies, all of the furniture sets I could ask for, millions of Bells, my house upgraded...and even though there's lots more to be done, I'm thinking about resetting.
The thing is, I hate my map. It was fine at first, but after looking at dream towns, there's so much I want to do with my town that can't be done because of my map.
Second, I've remodeled my town way too much. I really want to make it pretty, but to do that I would have to spend countless hours chopping trees and digging up flowers, with a result that I might not even be pleased with.
Third, my town fruit...oranges. They're okay, but I really want apples...really, really bad.
Ugh...there's just so much I love but so much I hate. And I'm honestly getting bored. If I reset now I won't have any time whatsoever until summer, but that happened last year and I dealt with it. I don't knowww. ;n;
What do you guys think? Feedback is really greatly appreciated! And I do know that if I reset, I'll hold a humongous giveaway, which would seem fun ;n; Hmmm. Decisions decisions //;n;

Well, if you really love your town, why not get a second copy? You won't have to delete your town that way.

That's what I was thinking just now- but that's only if I decide to spend the money myself (my parents won't buy me one). If I decide not to, I think I'll just keep my town until summer and then decide ;n;

Sorry but, are you saying you used to have a town with everything but you reset anyway?
If you don't mind doing things all over again to get a better town and character name, then feel free to do it. I think those names are pretty nice though.
I've seen people with the same dilemma and they said starting a new town made them feel better. It depends on you, would you have the patience and time to make this new town as you want? Remember that it might take a while to build it, and there's a chance you lose interest midway too. On the other hand, starting a new town means experiencing the game all over again, which makes playing it more fun. You might also love this new map more than your old/current one.
I suggest keeping some things you might need instead of giving it away if you choose to reset to make things easier, unless you think getting those items/villagers back would be no problem. I also second Vizionari's suggestion in getting a second copy if you can afford it.
I reset and I got a perfect map on the first map shown.
Personally, I wouldn't reset. I understand where you're coming from because I've had the same town since I started playing ACNL, and I didn't know about map resetting at the time, so my map isn't perfect and I'm not a big fan of my town's native fruit. I've been in awe many times, especially since I got the dream suite, over how nice towns can look when people have a great map and fruits that look better (in my opinion). I've thought about resetting before but I never have. I don't think I'd reset unless my town got seriously wrecked. I just value the work I've put into my town and my villagers, as well as the moments I've experienced in it that have made me really like the game, like special events. My map isn't perfect but it doesn't have to be. I enjoy the challenge of doing the best I can with what I've got. I want a town that looks nice but that is also fun for me to play in. I don't want a museum piece and I wouldn't be happy with a town that looked amazing but that I didn't enjoy.
Of course, everyone is different. Some people have reset and don't regret resetting, and even talk about how getting a new town made their game more fun.
You should weigh the pros and cons. Reset your town if you really want to, but just make sure that you think about it carefully and that you get someone to hold the stuff and villagers that you want in your town.
Redecorating a town that is already decorated takes work but it might help if you can plan things beforehand. If you're changing a path, don't replace it immediately, just test it in a small area of your town. If you want to know what a PWP looks like, visit a town that has it. Get a large sheet of paper and draw a detailed map of PWPs, flower beds, paths, and anything important you're going to put in your town. If you start slowly instead of just chopping up your trees in one go, it'll be easier to go back on your new plans if you don't like them or if you want to adjust them.
The idea of getting a second copy of the game is a good one too. You can use that copy to test your ideas, even if you want to change your main town eventually, or create something completely different and independent. I've read your post about being unable to afford that. Could you get a used copy of the game? Sometimes those tend to be cheaper. Just make sure it's in good condition. I don't know much about the digital copy but if you don't have one already, maybe you can take advantage of promo codes and things that might make it more affordable.
