The Resetting Thread

Does this map seem okay? I just picked up the game after a long hiatus and I'm thinking of resetting again. Perfectionist.

[EDIT] I realised I'll never be happy with this town, so resetting it is.

Everybody should be asking themselves this question:

"Why do I truly want to reset?"

What was the thing that sparked this idea of resetting?

"I hate my villagers"- never fear, cycling is here!
"I'm tired of my landscape"- cut down EVERY tree, and dig up EVERY bush. Store the flowers or get them out of the way somehow. Bam, ya gotta clean slate to work with.
"My mayor's home/ a permanent PWP is in a meh location"- can you make it work? Then do so. If you truly think it's unfixable, reset.
"I just want something new!"-get a second copy.
"I dislike my town name/ mayor name/ mayor face/ town layout/ something else major and unchangeable that will haunt me forever"- you should probably reset.

Now, ask yourself,

"What is at stake?"

What is stopping you from resetting?

"I have a lot of dreamies"- you can get them back. The ones that are most valuable to you/ you payed the most for, get held by someone if possible, but don't go through the trouble of getting every single one held unless you have less than five.
"My house is fully expanded"- bells are easy to make. Does it really matter the size of your home if it's in a bad location?
"I have a lot of badges/ donated items to museum/ lots of stuff cataloged/ nearly compete encyclopedia"- progress can be remade. It won't be easy, but there are lots of members willing to let you catalog things, donate museum paintings, statues or fossils to you, and other things to help you back on your feet.
"I have lots of rare stuff/ lots of money"- most members here are very kind and will hold your things for little or no cost. Just make sure not to bring EVERYTHING, just the rare stuff and money you really need. You can get that watermelon shirt again, but maybe not that Japanese exclusive DLC. Also, make sure they have all positive ratings! Most people here are nice, but there are some tricksters who, once they have your things, will unfriend you with no way to get them back...

So, to reset or not to reset? That is up to you.
 
Hi. The reason I'm thinking of resetting is because I'm having trouble unlocking the dream suite, and I really don't want an incomplete main street. Basically, I read that to unlock it you go into the town hall the day after your first WiFi and find Isabelle asleep and she suggests the dream suite pwp, and that worked for me on my last town. However, this time round I forgot to log on the day after my first WiFi and more than a week later Isabelle has still been awake every time I have visited the town hall. Have I really missed the opportunity to unlock it? Is there ANYTHING I can do?

There's no set time to get the dream suite. As long as you have been mayor for a week, had at least one wifi experience and built at least one pwp, you should find Isabelle asleep. There was a hit of a delay with me getting the dream suite too; it's fine, don't stress about it and definitely don't reset about it

Yep, this is true. You don't need to have connected with someone (at least, I never did with any of my former towns, and it still worked), you just have to have 100% approval rating and have been mayor for a week. You could wait 100 days if you wanted to; there's no point in time where the option to get the Dream Suite will completely disappear. ; v ;
 
I so wish second copies were easier to keep up with and really and truly worth the extra expense because I probably would benefit lots from one, haha
as it is it's been months since I've actively played ACNL and I've got everything set to go to reset, I just wanna scope out some dream towns while I still have a few leftover bells and the suite so I can check out what some people have done with maps.

Still very undecided on what I want my mayor's name to be and town name but hopefully I'm set soon, I really wanna get back into this game since I have lots of spare time for it this summer ;-;
 
I considered it earlier because I'm still really new to the game and it wouldn't hurt as much as if I did it later.

Why would I reset? I have a bit of dead beach and knocked a present onto it. And My beach/island is far away from re-tail. And because I just got Flo and Olaf and aren't that keen on them.

That being said, I really like Fang, Sly and Skye. And Cole and Greta are growing on me a bit. Plus I have a nice river and filled a lot of museum fish and sea creatures already. So I think I'll stay.

I would stay if I were you. Dream villagers can easily be obtained if you're willing to do it!
 
i kinda want to restart...I have my house fully built and everything unlocked but i hate my town. The town hall is right next to the cliff so i can't like surround it in trees or anything. The only villagers I have that I would be sad about are Lolly, Agent S, and Filbert. Lolly i won in a drawing contest and I would feel really bad if she was gone! I want to restart because my town layout is so bad. There are too many rocks and my house is surrounded by villager houses and too many ponds. I have about 13 million bells in my bank so i can pay off my house right away if i did restart. And both my sisters have ACNL so i can have them hold onto my things. The more I type this the more im leaning towards yes. For people who have restarted, did you regret it? Were there certain things you did regret but no the whole decision? idkkk i think i might do it. and i have the Police station and i don't really like it but it's permanent

- - - Post Merge - - -

and my town name is Hyrule and i don't want it to be something that already exists ya know? I've had the game since it came out and i would be losing a lot

- - - Post Merge - - -

maybe i could have someone hold lolly i wanna keep her

Hey guys! I'm new and this is my first post about something I've been thinking about a lot recently.

I really need some sort of assurance on restarting. Pretty much everyone I've talked to said to restart, but I'm not quite sure. I'm a very indecisive person.

So, I'm thinking of restarting because I don't really like my layout much, my house placement is pretty bad, and I don't really like my house at all (which I know I can change, but it seems like a pain). I like my neighbors, there's only one I don't really like much. While my neighbors are all good and I like them, I only really have one of my dream neighbors, Celia, which my friend has and is possibly willing to let me have. I'm just extremely hesitant because I've had this game for almost two years (since July 2013) and it's probably my most played town. I don't really want to get rid of all of my progress, but I have to interest in forcing my friends to hold onto all my bells (since I'm not too picky about my items, most are seasonal anyways). I really want to reset, but I feel like I'd be losing so much progress, although I haven't been playing the game a lot recently which is another reason why I think I should reset. What do you guys think?

(sorry if this is super long lol)
 
Hi! I'm restarting my town too. I've had mine since June 2013 and i feel bad restarting because i like how it started in 2013 and how its already two years old lol but im gonna have to get over it haha. I think you should if you really want to. Ive been spending the last two hours putting all of my bells and items in my sisters town and it's really tedious. And if you hate your layout now it's never going to get better because I've been contemplating this for a very long time and ive tried landscaping and changing the paths but im never satisfied. So go for it! It's a new start!
 
i think i'm gonna reset! almost everyone i've spoken to said to, and i have an idea for the town!! i'm gonna call it fantasea (based off the azealia banks mixtape) and it's gonna have a fairytale theme!
 
i reset my town if you are not happy with it it is better to reset it before you do lots of work on it
