The Resetting Thread

So I rebought the game today and started anew (Duh) and got a decent map (in my eyes) along with having both Bob AND Rosie as starting villagers.

It's one of my OTP's ok? now I just need Genji and Kabuki then my lovers are done...well, nearly done.
 
That'd be sweet, but I'll try plot resetting/camper farming for him when I get Jocks trying to move in, would rather my "lovers" be genuine "Banter" material :>
 
Decided to try playing again and getting a town tonight because last year I wanted to save a Zen town in the cherry blossom season. That could get me to play again.
 
I just started playing again {sometime mid-December} after taking almost a year hiatus. I decided to start from scratch, and things are going really well. My overall vision for the town is slightly based off of House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Eventually, I hope to set up a labyrinth somewhere in the town.

I've been thinking about resetting lately, but I can't bring myself to lose everything I've achieved. And I especially can't lose my villagers...short of three dreamies, my villagers are perfect.

Maybe I'll get lucky and find a decent-priced used copy to make a second town. At least that way I could slowly move my good villagers into a new town.

Why are you thinking about resetting? You can always reset but get someone to hold your villagers and items for you.

It sounds like you're just bored with your town and want a change, in that case, maybe you don't have to reset. You can just redecorate your current town :)

Hi! I'm thinking about resetting, but the idea loosing all my items and progress is blocking me. I've created my town a long time ago and at the time I didn't know about landscaping or paths or even that some maps were better than others... Now I've tried to make my town better but I'm unsatisfied with some details (I don't play with my mayor and am forced to switch between characters to take care of pwps all the time, my town's name, how many stones my town has...), so I don't know what to do.

If you're unhappy with that many things, then resetting sounds like a good idea. My map is far from perfect because, like you, there were lots of things I didn't know about when I first started, but it doesn't bother me. Sometimes it can be an interesting challenge to try to make your town look nice when the map makes it more difficult and that can make your town more unique as well. I'm unhappy with my town's name too but I just try to think of it as related to what I thought when I started out. :) Of course, it's your decision, so just try to do what you think would be best. If you want to keep some villagers and items (and even bells), you can try to get someone to hold them for you. Just make sure you think about it carefully, because it's harder to regret resetting your town if you want your old town back.
 
I reset today :p I had my last town for a year, and while I loved it, I wasn't getting creative with it anymore. I named my new town the exact same thing as my last one though, hahaha :blush:

~fresh start. I forgot how tedious it is in the beginning though, wow

You. Reset? YOU RESET? All my life I've been devoted to stopping everyone from resetting. But you still do it! Reset again and I'll give you a good old lecture...

You! You are great!!!
Lol. This made me smile. Thank you ^-^
 
Don't like my town name anymore, hate the layout, there was NO planning (didn't realize how customizable the game was before I got it for Christmas) and I just think I could do a better job with a clean slate. Problem is, I have so many items I love, and I have my one, single dreamie. but think it's worth resetting?

Since you aren't too far into the game it sounds like, now might be a good time to reset. You can have someone hold your villager and the stuff you want to keep. There are many good users here who would be more than glad to hold stuff for you. Always check the wifi ratings C: PM me if you have any questions or need someone to hold your stuff
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I want to reset AGAIN ... I made a huge mistake thinking that I'd be going to the island often to catch beetles but oh boy was I wrong. I want my house & Re-tail close to the train for easy/quick access to the shops... The shape of my river is also bugging me a lot. It's too long and too curvy ... makes me wish we could build more than 3 bridges.
....
But i have 50 million bells in my abd & completed a lot of my catalog & got quite a few badges & loads of hybrids.

T.T
 
I am in a total funk with ACNL right now. It seems like I can't get it right with my towns. I had Julian, Beau, Fuchsia, Chops, Moose, Vesta, Elvis, Gloria, and Peggy. Several of them were my Dreamies, but a couple of them I could have cared less about. (Peggy makes me super sad to have. That's for another time, though!) But no matter who I have I can't get happy. In my VERY FIRST town I fell in love with my villagers. I had: Broffina, Moose, Phoebe, Muffy, Lobo, and several others. After Lobo and Phoebe left my town sucked to me. Now, I can't get it right. D: What to do?
 
I bought another copy of New Leaf today because I kinda wanted to build a town from the beginning (have always been unhappy about certain things) but didn't want to lose the villagers and items kind people here helped me get. I still want to play the town I have too. I hate it when games only have 1 save file. :(

It costed me another $30, but I know I'll get more than that much worth of money out of it. So if anyone here has worries about resetting, you could always try to save up for another copy. Best of both worlds.
 
I thought about purchasing another copy, but the nearest game store to me is nearly an hour away. Not to mention, they like to try to sell you new copies of the game, when they clearly have used ones available. To some it may not seem like a big deal, but to me (since I have a little girl) every dollar matters. Maybe one day though, my husband wants to play it. He even has dreamies, though he won't admit it.
 
****ing A...I lost Marshal. Why? Well, I haven't played in awhile.

Last time I didn't play, I stopped for two months. When I met Isabelle just cause I was bored, I just pressed reset. Well, now it's happened again. I'm bored. Taking care of my town is tedious. I'm not sure if I should reset again. The effort and memories with this town...I have so many hybrids, sets, my house is paid off... I don't want to say my villages time is up, but at the same time...RIP.

Wolfgang, Freya, Fang, Skye, Chief, Kyle, Whitney, and my best friend, Julian...

I don't want to make a thread like a million other people already have but I'll post it here.

Should I reset?

If I reset, I'll hold onto my min. fossil, ice, and cabana set and important DLC. Maybe I'll hold onto my golden tools. Maybe...but I'm talking as if I'm going to. Who knows?

I should mention when I reset the first time, I didn't save ANYTHING. Plus, I didn't know this site existed.

I just reset my second town that I abandoned a long time ago and I now have Whitney, Bam, Elmer, and Merengue. What luck!
 
I was going to tell you not to reset, because that town sounded amazing, but I see you did. Those are cute starters.Though I always like trying to get rid of my Jock personalities. I just never could handle the ladybro aspect of their speech. But I hope you get more happiness out of your new town. <3 Enjoy.
