The Resetting Thread
- Thread starter Prof Gallows
- Start date
Actually, it was my second cartridge. Well, my sisters but I went into her town and it was just dead, lol. She got tired of it pretty quickly so I reset and now I have two towns to look after.
I'm now tempted to reset. Here's the pros and cons.
Pros
I've lost several villagers that I want back and now have to cycle more out to be able to get them again. Which is a lot of work. Maple is also in a bad spot: right in front of my campsite. So if I reset, I can start new.
I'm sick of my town name. I shouldn't have named it the same as my Wild World town. I want them to be different.
I wouldn't mind a new map and with a new map, I could actually plan out my town this time.
Cons
I would lose a lot of dreamies I have now. Marshal and Fauna would be annoying to get back.
Starting over is really slow in the beginning.
Getting the Club and fortune telling shop back would be annoying. Same with filling up my catalog and encyclopedia.

Pros:
Town name people understand
Spaceeeeee
A fresh start- fix my face
Get to enjoy the game slowly
Can re-place all those annoying permenant pwps
Can plot reset villager's houses
One big beach + a private island!
So much more space I have nothing else
I know what I'm looking for instead of taking the 1st map since I didn't know how the game worked
Cons:
Getting back all 9 dreamies
Have so much rare stuff I don't wanna give up
Lose all my records of a town I worked on since July 2013
Gonna be hard to take my time
I mentioned losing all my records? Over 500 hours gone
Bye-bye HHA showcase w/ balloons
Just. Almost 2 years gone.
I'd need 20 people and 30 days to move everything I wanted to keep
Redoing the whole museum. The whole museum.
Re-doing my encyclopedias
I'd probably cry a lot
Re-gaining Katrina and all the other shops on main street
Someone please help I need guidance

It's good to restet, a fresh start just like you said but you have more cons than pros. U can ask people to hold the stuff. (inculding me) you can get your dreamies again. I'd say do it. You might regret it in the first weeks but I'm sure you love the new town if it's done.

Moved ~
Jesus that is a lot of stuff!
the question is: will it be worth it? can't you get somebody to hold your items?- - - Post Merge - - -
i love your map! its awesome!
I am thinking of restarting also.
I have five villagers who I would like to keep but some do not have nice house locations.
I also have 28,000,000 bells in my savings, and have paid all of my house loan.
But I do not like my layout. There are four ponds and many hassling rocks.
I also built the cafe too close to the river, it is not ideal.
Many unique DLC are mine as well...
I have the time to do so, but maybe not the patience. (･∀･；)
Maybe you can help me!

I restarted my second town a few weeks ago, and I realized I'm thinking of resetting my main town too. I had themes for each one: my first one wasn't much of a theme, just neutral colored villagers; my second town is a fairytale/woodland theme, so villagers like Julian and Drago for the fairytale part, and others like Fauna and Beau like the woodland part- my mayor is supposed to be a fairy! I have 9/10 dreamies in both towns, and I realized because of the ?theme? choices, they look really identical. It makes me want to restart my first town. But again, I really like the dreamies I have, and I have most of them. I am feeling really conflicted because on one hand I want to keep it, but on the other I don't want two of the same type of town. What should I do?
I've noticed haha! I started thinking of themes for a new town already...
So true! It's happening to me right now! XD
I think you should do it. Most of the cons you mentioned are transferable with a little help (besides maybe the villagers, but you can always get them again some other way). New maps are fun.
I agree with the person who said that once you start thinking of resetting, it's too late...That is so true.
I just came to say, I made a town, I set it for October 15, 2014, even though, the real time date was Jan. 23rd (three days ago), and I don't know why, but I don't even want to reset. Like, it's not even...a consideration...
Now, let me share that I've had this game well over a year, probably two, and I have, ever since after my first town wanted nothing but to reset. So, I've gone through town after town, after town and town again. I'd reset, keep a town for a couple of days, then reset again, rinse and repeat, since I reset my first town about six months after I got the game...
So, I just wanted to say, that once you find your town, you'll know, and you won't even want to reset, and if you're thinking about it, then go ahead and reset. ^-^
Thank you. That is all.
Carry on.

I caved in and I reset! On the very first try, I found the perfect map. I went in to look around, and the rocks were in pretty nice spots, where I don't think they will be in the way. Town hall is in a nice spot, Re-tail is close to the dock, and there was a nice little peninsula that I plan to put my campsite. The river is a nice and simple shape, and the native fruit is pears! I wanted either pears or apples, so I'm very very happy. I also got some pretty popular villagers as starters, although I don't plan on keeping them (so maybe a trade or auction). Basically, I'm very happy with my map and so far I'm really glad I reset.
I really want to reset but I want to keep all of my items, rares, and coins. The last time I resetted, I brought everything (Yes, ALL OF MY ITEMS) into this person's town (who was so kind to help) and it took so long (and I was so worried because I was afraid they would steal my things).
If anyone would be so kind to help me with this (VERY tedious and time consuming) process, please contact me!
