The Resetting Thread

ellemacc said:
I really want to reset my town, but I'm not sure. My town's name and layout are horrible, and most villagers aren't too popular, but I've grown to love them. I haven't gotten too far in terms of development, hybrids, etc., but I'm a hoarder at heart and keep almost everything I find. I only have one copy of the game and no friends, so I don't have a place to store my items. It's hard making a choice. I hate how no one in my area has AC, so I never get streetpasses. ;-;

If I were you, I would most likely restart. If you map is horrible, it'll be nagging at you for the rest of the time you have your town. Also, if you wait until your town is further developed, then you would most likely miss it more than you would since you would have so many more things than you do currently.
That's just my input; I would say go for it! :) I think you'll be glad you did!

I was in a similar situation. I reset, and I couldn't be happier. I say, go for it. And people on here are willing to hold your stuff, i.e. me :p
 
Dumping items?

Hi, everyone! I'm new here (literally just joined), and I'm hoping someone can help me out. ^_^; I want to re-set my town and start fresh... but the Harvest Festival is tomorrow! I have a bunch of items saved up for the event, etc.

Would some kind, awesome soul in this thread be willing to let me dump my items in their town, so I can re-set my game and come back to collect them afterwards?

My friend has been promising me all week that I could do this in her town, but she's too busy to get online.

Today's the last day. I'm cutting it close, but I'm desperate! Please help! x_x

I can help you if you want!^^ Just send me a Visitor Message and I can add you to my 3DS. I just started a town 2 days ago to experience the festival myself, so it's not like my town is amazing. xD
My character's name is Lisa and the town is Canada (although that's not my real name nor where I live), so that's the town to look for.
Let me know when you want to come by! I'll add you in a moment!

Thanks so much! I just sent you a PM. :)
 
The thought of resetting popped in my mind a few days ago, and is still looming there as I type this. :/ My daily chores have gotten tedious, my neighbors: boring, my layout is becoming more and more inconvenient and clumsy after each PWP I add, my character name and town name are getting old, there are many things I regret doing, I feel like I've done too much too soon.. I just weighed the pro's and con's on a notepad, and it seems like the right thing to do is to reset. New neighbors, new layout, fresh mayor and town name, blank canvas, etc.. I'm not one to care about losing things like Unlocked Shops and the Museum donations.

I think I'm going to do it. I just need to think a little more for just a little while longer, so I don't regret my hasty decisions. I'll either edit this post or post again when and if I decide to restart and let you guys in on the details.

edit: Decided to go through with it. Mayor name will be Reed, town will be Paisley. Each both hold special meanings to me. If your curious what the meanings are, feel free to stalk my profile. I just thought I'd spare you the details in a desperate attempt to make this post somehow shorter, but now I can see it's already getting long, so. ;-;
Face will be:

I'm just hoping for good neighbors. I'll edit this again when I've found my town.

I recently got a new 3ds (upgraded to an xl) and consequently traded in my old one. What no one told me was that i'd need to use the inherent data transfer function if i ever wanted to see any of my save data again (i had a digital copy of ac). So, in making a new town, i found a layout i thought i was happy with and such. And now, all at once, i am utterly "meh" about my whole town. I'm thinking of restarting but alas, i just finished most of my main street and laid some basic paths. Plus, tomorrow is the harvest festival, of course. But I really think i'll just sell Stitches and then reset, saving all my bells and some cute outfits. But i'm not sure :(
 
Eurgh im at such a crossroads ;__;
had my town since July... but im really bored of it, i hardly ever go on, nothing really to do, and i think the reason is, is that i made my town too perfect.. i resetted for villagers, and i want a natural town, where i just let anyone move in etc, and play the game in that way...
But id lose too much! i've had perfect town rating, golden can, bells, creepy set, spooky set.. etc, and can i really afford to lose all that?
Plus i would dearly miss Willow & Vesta (they would be the only two i would miss) however i could try and get them back in a new town, and let the other 8 villagers be naturals who i didnt hand pick?
idk
or i could buy a 2nd copy, but then wouldnt that just make me play the first copy even less and it be a waste
grr ;_;
Oh and id also miss Apple & Stitches

That's a tough one. :( I remember that we both got towns on the same day and you seemed to really like it at first, but I understand the sense of boredom you feel! If I were you, I would maybe keep the villagers you like and let the others leave on their own so it's more natural for you. But if you really want to start over and there's a lot bugging you, I would go for the reset.
If you want to keep up with a second town, though, I would do that too. It just depends on how much you like your town and what you'll miss.
Is your layout a big problem? You could always post a picture so it'll give me a better idea of whether you should start over or not. :) Either way, good luck!

My town is really beginning to bore me - I hate the layout, hate most of my villagers, and I tried cycling out some of the villagers I didn't like but ended up with more -_- my 2 flatmates are willing to hold the 4 villagers I want to keep, so I'm seriously considering resetting once I've got those villagers out. Have you guys ever regretted resetting? That's what I'm worried about, haha

The only time I did was when I restarted my very first town. It was perfect - apples, good villagers, circle grass - but for some reason, I just wanted to see what restarting was like. The only thing I didn't like about my town was that I was simply bored. I loved everything else. If that's the deal with your town then you should keep it, but if there's a lot of problems I recommend restarting, or, if you don't want to, you could try getting a second copy to see what it's like.
Still, good luck! :)

I'm stuck. I've had my game since June and I really want to Reset. I feel bad, because I've time Travelled a lot, However, If I do reset I'll loose loads.
I have a perfect town, but hate my layout.
I have a large catalogue/bug/fish/underwater set.
My house is complete.
I have lots of money saved.
I have loads of money invested in different PWPs and have GracieGrace at the Nooklings shop.
I also have some really cool villagers, but more bad than good.
I think that my sister may be getting the game for x-mas, so if she does I'll ask her if I can move stuff over to reset. But I still don't know if I want to loose my PWP and the shops. Should I wait, or not reset at all?
Thanks XXX

All of what you have done, could be done again in a new town.
If you're getting bored, you'll enjoy New Leaf less. :(
You'll find new friends in a new town and there's people on this website who are willing to hold your stuff!
Good luck. :)

Its just so difficult i want a new town so badly, but i dont want to lose my stuff
if i could store everything easily i wouldnt mind?
and i dont want a 2nd copy as it will be a waste lol as the 1st copy will just never get used so i might aswell have 1
 
I sorta wonder if I should reset.

There are few villagers I really like and I dont really like my town. Ive unlocked everything though and I dont want to lose all my items. I really dont want to buy a second copy of the game though, I dont have much money.
