The Resetting Thread
- Thread starter Prof Gallows
- Start date
I've been thinking about resetting...I'm not too far into my town so it's not like I'll lose much (and I don't really have any dreamies, there's only two villagers I'll be sad about losing), but I'm still somewhat reluctant.
I don't like my mayor's name or where I put the mayor's house, and the layout is kinda bad.

To be honest, I'd do it, especially if you're not far into the game. I was really upset about losing Celia, but I had pretty much the same issues, and I REALLY disliked my house. Plus, now you know more about the game the second time around, so you'll definitely get a better layout and if you keep trying, you'll probably get at least one of your dreamies relatively fast!

I had a town with a map that met 99% of my wants, but then realized the face I picked looks eternally angry with every single expression they make.

How long will it take for you to pick the stuff? I can hold it but I'm resetting too so I can't wait very long for you to pick up
your stuff. I can also hold oje of your dreamies.
i have a loooot of furniture i want to keep (probably not all of it, but i have some rococo and princess stuff) and some clothing items too so it would probably take multiple trips to drop everything off. as for my cat villagers though, ideally i'd want all 3 of them being held! they're most important to me and my top priority tbh. if some kind soul could hold onto the others i think we could do the item stuff relatively quickly, it would take awhile for me to get the dreamies moved out though (i do tt)
I ended up resetting my town after I got my friend to hold some stuff for me. I managed to find a really good layout with the perfect town fruit and circle grass (as long as it's not square, I'm okay with it). Not only that, but one of the starting villagers is one of my dreamies that was in my previous town! 
Guys I really need help! I thought of an amazing theme for my second town but I'd need to reset it to change the mayors name and eyes to do it. Since it's my second town, it's underdeleloped and doesn't have any upgraded stores or anything, it's just a storage town. Though it does have an amazing map, I can find an equally amazing map when I reset. Only problem is I have all my dreamies and I worked hard to get them. It took forever to find every single one of them!
Is it stupid to reset my town just because of the mayors name and eyes?
The only thing that's stopping me from doing so are my dreamies ;(

You can always cycle out your dreamies and have someone hold onto them so they can be transferred to your next town. I hate my character's eyes and if I wasn't so far in, I'd do the same as this.
Okay, I need some hardcore advice here because I've been on the edge about resetting for months now, and today is just about pushing me over that edge. The layout of my town just bugs me to no end. My house is far away from everything, the beach is split up awkwardly and it has barely any width to it, I put my Roost Cafe in a really cruddy place too, and dear god the stupid rocks. The rocks are all placed in places where I want to path, and it caused a huge issue for me earlier in trying to align my flower arch between my tulip topiary's. Oh, and the river. It mostly splits my town down through the middle vertically, and I hate that so much. I want a river that goes more horizontally through the town.
Plus, I hate my character's face. It's not terrible, but it's not the default face (the one that Villager from SSB has) that I would've loved to select.
The problem? I'm really, really far into the game. T&T Emporium, all the fossils filled up, a bunch of the bugs and fish are cataloged in my museum too. I'm best friends with every Able sister, have my catalog filled up a TON, have a few Jacob's Ladders, a completely upgraded and paid off home, a lot of different emoticons on my emote page, a good 20+ hours worth of pathing, and a complete hybrid garden set up.
If I were to reset, I would have a LOT to transfer. Not only in terms of my flowers and furniture, but I'd also want to buy everything I've gotten from my catalog so I could collect it in my new town and add it on there. I do NOT want to start over with the catalog, but I also know how tedious and long it will take to transfer it all over. (I plan to just time travel to get all the items delivered within a decent amount of time instead of waiting twice a day for the mail.)
I just do not know what to do. Getting a whole new game is an option, true, but we don't really have the money for that and I'm just incredibly unhappy with my town layout. None of my villagers really stick out to me either, save for maybe two of them, but not enough for me to be too sad if I were to lose 'em.
Please help.

I definitely think you should reset.
100%.
But, it's not fun to restart and have every furniture piece, tons of money and owners and everything ready. Dont do a clean reset, but don't being everything. Go halfway and just bring the bare essentials: 2 of every flower so you can breed them, enough bells to pay for a house, and some furniture to get you started. There are plenty of kind people on the forums who will let you catalog and buy stuff that you need.
Basically, definitely reset, and get someone to hold the bare essentials (enough money, 2 of every flower and some furniture)
It'll be possible to get back furniture and villagers and bells, but you'll never be able to undo your map or face. Also, I'd you don't reset now, you'll get even further into the game.

Right now I want to reset because I don't like too much my town map.
I finally did end up resetting today before reading this response, and I found that I didn't like bringing over so much of my stuff. It felt weird starting off with so much of my furniture, clothes, etc, so I ended up selling everything except for my rare collectible coffee stuff from The Roost, two or three furniture things, all my precious gyroids since I plan to remake my basement Moon Cult, and one shirt, hat, glasses, etc. Even sold off my silver tools, only keeping my silver axe and golden axe because cool stumps and non-breakable axe. (Oh, and golden watering can because I can't set up an ordinance yet and transferred all my hybrids over)
Either way, I'm SO much happier with this town layout. Didn't take hours of plot resetting, I love my characters face now, the Retail is on the north side and closer to the station and my house is nice and close to it, my villagers have good houses, my beach isn't split in half down the middle due to the river, it's just beautiful.

I keep finding perfect map layouts, then deciding "oh, I don't like this town name" or "I'm unsure about this face..." "do I really want to name my mayor this?"
I'm really struggling to find something I can stick with, and it's really dejecting because these questions only arise after I find the perfect map.

For town names, go over it again and again in your head, ask friends for advice or what they think of it, and once you got it, try not think twice about it. I named my town after an item in one of my favorite shows, Yes Precure 5, called the Dream Collet. Ended up naming my town Collet. Not a perfect name, but it sticks for me.
Do you have an alias you go by on the internet? If so, you can always use one of those. You COULD use your real name too but if you're not fond of your real name or if it doesn't really work well in-game (Like naming a character Rose wouldn't be too bad, but it may be awkward to name your character Jennifer) than try to think of an alias or favorite character name to use.
For face, the default face is my personal favorite. It's cute, the glasses all work well with it, and it's one of the reasons I reset my own town. I personally don't think one can go wrong with the default face unless they really do prefer something else.
Here's a guide to all the possible faces that you can get, so go through it a bit until you find something that you see and think "Yes, I want this on my Mayor." http://www.jvgs.net/new-leaf-face-guide.htm
I made the mistake of not knowing that I could choose my face based on my answers and had my first character stuck with the second face you see there for the girls, and I LOATHED it. Make sure to look through well so you aren't as unhappy as I was!

attention gamers,
I'm going to be resetting Startown in 30 days, does anyone know a good layout for a city themed town? I want cherries, space around the town hall so I can make a "mini mainstreet" with the police station and Roost, and have the houses all be aligned in some way (don't have to be right next to each other, just aligned somehow).
I'm considering to reset. I've created my current town back in September last year, but have not played much on it since then and although I do have a lot unlocked and I love my villagers, it just doesn't seem right. I don't like my map anymore and know I'll remain feeling bad about my town if I don't reset. On the other hand, I'd possibly regret resetting and would have to start all over again...
Could someone please give me a list of things to keep in mind when resetting and pros/cons or something like that? I tend to have more use of that than advice, since I usually make up my decision myself eventually. Thanks to anyone who helps me decide what to do.
