The Resetting Thread

Well if you're feeling unhappy with your current town, that can be a good sign that maybe you should reset. I didn't play for months like you and then when I wanted to play again (the day I joined here) I reset my town. I hardly had any flowers and my paths weren't all over my town, so I wasn't as far along as you and I'm not 100% sure if I would have done it if I was. I feel like I would have though. I just didn't feel a connection to that town anymore. Not to the villagers or layout or my two fully paid off houses.

Is there a chance you could get a second copy of the game? That way you could have the best of both worlds. If not though, I usually think if you're feeling this way after coming back from not playing, it's usually a sign to reset.

Just think about what it would be like to reset. Do you TT? Would you enjoy starting again and going through unlocking the stores for a new town? Would you be ok with losing all your current stuff (unless you plan to have someone hold it for you,) in favour of meeting new villagers and a new map and a fresh start?

Good luck with whatever you choose! :)
 
This happened to me too. The flowers can easily be relandscaped. It takes several weeks, but it's much less of a hassle than resetting and getting all your dreamies back in my opinion.
 
You have valid reasons! If you feel you need to reset you probably should! I reset once in a while to get a new game experience with new villagers ect. I hope you can have fun playing ac again!
 
I've always been a serial resetter with these games because I love starting fresh over and over and over. However I kept my first town on here for months and it was all landscaped and I had hours put into it, but at the end of it all I felt no love or connection to my villagers. I didn't bother going on much, and i'd made a lot of silly mistakes (not filling up my museum for example, because now a full museum is a main goal for me as I love walking around the exhibits)

I feel like you should reset for that fresh start, that new leaf. I definitely would if I were you. If you have a dream address, that town won't go to waste. If you miss it, you can go back and look on it with pride. But if you're really bored and tired of it, just leave it and move on.
 
I think the fact that you were able to leave it alone for those months and it never pulled you back is a good reason to restart with a new town. You just might restart and fall in love with a new town. It will be a fresh start for you.
 
Reset your town. Trust me, you'll feel so much better starting fresh and clean. I reset my previous two towns and comparing them to my town now, I don't miss them in the least bit. Starting anew and loving your town is much better than keeping a town you don't like forever. c;
 
I agree if your not happy, restart..That is why this game is so neat..you have that option and it can make you feel better about your town etc. I didnt realize how much I hated my Whoville town till I got a new cartridge, loaded it up and had a cute village, cute villagers etc it all felt new and refreshed. I didnt tt and was a newb and really disliked my villagers in whoville. WHen I got the new cartridge I realized how cruddy my other town was etc and did a little cycling and even it feels way better now. Good luck to you
 
I was going through the same problem!
I had my town since release date of the game and the only thing that really kept me from resetting was because it was my very first town in an ac game. But, I finally picked up the game yesterday, (after not playing for almost a year), reset, and I'm much happier! I don't particularly miss my town either, the villagers yes, but they're easy to find again.
I say you just go for it if you're really stuck on the idea.

If you're worried about items or hybrids I'd be more than happy to hold things for you! I have plenty of space now q:

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 :)

I meant just to go back to the day I stopped playing so I can make a new save file to check on how things are going in my town before I load up my mayor (does that make sense? lol). If change my 3DS clock to the day I think I stopped playing, would the game go back to that day or would it still be on the same date before I changed the clock?
 
I'm about to start resetting my cycling town. I took a break and a few villigers I was saving for myself moved away. :( So I'm just restarting.
 
Oh god I kept resetting and found a great town and I'm a few days into playing.. I'm just starting to wonder if my town name is way too generic and boring-sounding??

I was choosing between Asteria and Scherie and chose Asteria (greek goddess of the stars), but I'm wondering if I should've named it Scherie after my favourite place in greek mythology :S
Can anyone help me??

I like the name very much! I don't think there's anything wrong with it <3
 
I'm kind of tempted to reset my current town but I'd hate to lose all my progress (mostly all my medals haha). I don't like my map like at all, but I've made it work a little better. Once I get all the gold medals, I might just reset then.

I bought another copy of New Leaf tho (because it was so cheap), mostly for cycling reasons but I might make it one into something proper sometime :>

I really like the name Asteria, and if you find that you like your town map, I'd consider keeping your town. :)
 
I'm thinking about resetting Tanuki but the thing is I have so many valuable items that it would take forever to sell/trade them all. I tried to cover my town in blue roses and I'm pretty close. The only thing I don't like about my town is that Tia moved away without my knowledge so I may have to go through another plot reset cycle again, and I've gone through so many villagers that most of the ones that I want are still within the 16 villager cycle because they moved away without my knowledge too. I've also been spending most of my time taking care of Latte since it's relatively new, and I haven't been giving Tanuki much attention.
 
I'm thinking of resetting my town since the retail is way far off from the town hall and also the beach:-( having a hard time now:)
 
As I was saying in my introduction thread I reseted last week and it was sure the best decision I made so far ! I took me 3 days and hundred of resets to find a perfect map with good villagers but it was so totally worth it. My old town was the one I picked the day of the release, I did not bother too much finding a good map or villagers, I just took the first one. <<" Ended up having borring villagers and Retail at the top left of the map... Uuurrgh...

Now the new one look like this ! :

Townhall above the plaza in the middle of the map, 6 ponds, some of my fav villagers : Merengue, Apple, and Julian that unboxed the second day. *o* and overall a convenient layout for future projects... I'm in love with it. ♥ Just to move and add the bridges and campsites for now... I'll post a finalized pic in the Map thread once it's done. :3

Hello :D I hope it's okay to ask this here, as I'm map resetting and trying to plan my perm buildings ahead of time.

Is this the correct amount of spaces that the plaza and a pwp need to have between each other? (The train tiles being the empty space, the sweets tiles being the outline of the roost)
