The Resetting Thread

I really want to reset one of my towns. I want to keep all my villagers though since I worked so hard to get them. I love my villagers but I really hate my town right now. I don't know what to do.

Has anyone reset their town and managed to save their villagers too?
 
^ I've seen people TT their villagers out to have others temporarily hold them. It'd be pretty messy to do this with all of them though, so I'd only pick my absolute favorites to keep.

I'm getting back into ACNL, and I'm resetting my second town. My first result: Groucho, Bluebear, Lyman, Amelia, and Lolly. Great villagers, but I want to try to get one of my dreamies. I have a feeling I'll regret this later. xP
 
Do you think it'd b possible to transfer items by yourself if you find a best buy/futureshop/target/walmart etc that has a playable 3ds demo with animal crossing in it and then reset and transfer the items to new town?
 
What do you guys think of these layouts?

I'm a huge fan of the one on the left ! :D the only thing is retail looks a bit cramped .. :confused:
 
I really want to reset because my map isn't conducive to PWPs but I really don't want to let go of Lucky ;_; like he's major reason that's held me from doing so the last couple of weeks but now that I have enough money to build some PWPs, I can't go about building them because there isn't any space q__q and my villager's homes aren't really nice too urgh. As much as I love the part of the ACNL experience that's talking to villagers and doin' the day-to-day I can't develop my town the way I want to because of these setbacks.

But I really... don't want to let go of Lucky. And I just got Ankha and O'Hare to move in too. Siiiigh.
 
I dont know if I should or not.
I managed to get about 8/10 dreamies...
But now, when I play.. I feel so bored and tired of the game. My houses are un aligned and it bothers my OCD
I dont want to spend extra money on a game..?
Idk what to do.
 
Should I reset? I mean I dunno... I have everything but Katrina's unlocked, 10/10 dreamies, fully upgrades house and a lot of PwP's unlocked... but I really don't like my town's layout, my villagers aren't in great areas, there doesnt seem to be much room, and I just.. I dunno I'm bored with my town ; w ;
 
I dunno if here is a good place to post this but, I have neglected my town and want to reset but I still want my villagers so I was hoping people can hold them for me.
 
Advice for Reseting My Game?

Backstory:
ACNL if my first Animal Crossing game, so I never really fully grasped what this game is about. It's about having a little town where things change in a similar but less stressful to the real world. But I got too involved in the customization aspect of the game. I devoted months of my life trying to make my little town perfect, but because things in this game are randomized, everything I worked so hard to achieve could be destroyed in seconds.

And so, villagers I didn't want would move in (and in the worst area possible), villagers I loved would move out, and I would bawl my eyes out for hours because of how invested I was in trying to make things perfect. And so when a villager I didn't want destroyed my garden of flowers and a villager I loved moved out the next day, I decided to quit playing because I couldn't take it anymore. I think I stopped in December of 2013.

I recently got a copy of Tobidase Doubutsu no Mori to help me practice reading Japanese, and it's hard for me to do anything because I have no money and I can't really understand much of what anyone saying. So I want to get back into playing Animal Crossing while also playing Doubutsu no Mori.
I want to get my items and bells, reset my town (because I hate the name and layout) and move my villagers out of my old town and then into my new town. I have two copies of ACNL and a copy of Tobidase Doubutsu no Mori, so I think I can do all of the work by myself. Does anyone have any advice on how I can do this carefully without destroying things?
 
Do you also have two 3Ds's? if you don't, you can't move things by yourself due to the fact you've got one friend code for two towns. :(
 
You'd need two 3DS's or 2DS to switch items between towns, it's the only way. You could ask people on here to hold any items and bells you want to keep, and ask people with cycle towns to hold any villagers you want to keep.
 
Yes, I actually have a few 3DSes ^.^;; Since the 3DS is region locked I thought that it was self explanatory that I had a least two, since I mentioned that I've been playing AC and DNM. Sorry about the confusion!

Any other advice?

In that case, moving your stuff and villagers is easy enough, it works the same way as any normal exchange would. As for you issues with villagers landing on your stuff, and the that ones you want to keep, moving - have you heard of plot resetting? Instructions for it here. And here is how to make sure you know exactly when a villager is planning on moving.

Also, a thing I want to stress with plot resetting that the above guide doesn't quite highlight, is that you cannot load up your mayor or any alt character at all while doing it. Doing so will cause them to randomly land anywhere, which is what you've been experiencing.

I have plot reset before, but since I TT a lot I sometimes get lazy, and that's when a random void villager ends up in my town :c
I've never seen the tutorial you linked, though. I've also never seen that moving guide, either. They both look SUPER helpful. I'll definitely use them, thank you so much!

Is there a way to change the in game date without loading up a save file?

You're welcome xx :blush:and I'm afraid not :( (at least for people that time travel there isn't) you'd have to change the date before you begin plot resetting :)
 
1 Get someone to hold all your stuff and villagers!
2 Pick a name for your town and take your time with the maps!
3 When your starting your new town DON'T TIME TRAVEL! Unless your doing it for a good reason the game is going to get boring very fast
4 Have fun! Don't pressure yourself! It's supposed to be fun don't rush and remember it's a game don't devote your life and time into it.
 
Should I reset my town? :/ HELP!

Hey Everyone.

Basically, I have't played New Leaf for 5 MONTHS. Reason is, because I sold my 3DS XL (Stupidly) to buy a PS3... I regretted selling it, so today bought the new 3DS XL in shiny black. So far so good.

But here's the problem. As soon as I started playing AC again, it all came flooding back to me. 'Ohno, there's nothing left to do', 'my town has paths and loads of flowers now, what else can i do to it?', 'I just can't find anything else interesting to do!'... Yeahhh... you see my point?

I don't like my town that much tbh. I mean, the villagers, meh. Not the best, not the worst. But it's not the villagers that bother me, it's the fact that the paths look a goddamn mess, and the flowers are all jumbled up. It would take me AGES to redo it all. So that's why I'm wondering; 'should I restart my town?' I've had my town for a long time now, so that's why I'm pretty worried. Will I miss it? I just dont know WHAT else to do in my town? It feels like everything has been done, even though it hasn't.

PLEASE someone tell me; should I reset or not? Also, if not, what else can I do to make AC Entertaining again?! THANKYOU!!!
