The Resetting Thread

Yeah, the river is off to the side and doesn't r in through the whole town. And there's two little pockets where I can put my mayor and an alts home! I've also already achieved a dreamie, Bunnie :)
 
hello! i just recently reset my town i had since the day the game was released... the town was two years old as of july 4th. i had 9 of my dreamies out of 10, and mostly everything unlocked and finished. but thats why i reset since there was nothing left for me to do. but its a lot harder than i thought to build a town from the bottom up again! i got a nice map that i love and one of the starters was maple, so i'm really happy with it, but i was wondering if anybody here who hasn't reset or is planning on resetting... if they have any axes or tools, hybrid flowers, carnations, island fruit, etc to spare? i could really use anything honestly and i'd really appreciate any help from the community :3

i'm mostly looking for pink and blue hybrids, all of the rose hybrids (i'm missing orange, purple and blue, and need lots of pink ones!), all colors of carnations, lemons/bananas/coconuts/lychees/etc, axes (silver or not), a slingshot, bush and tree saplings, anything you don't want anymore, really! if you want anything in return, i have perfect cherries? but again my town is new and i lost everything so i don't have much to offer...

I'm thinking of resetting even though I have a fully upgraded house and more PWP's than I've had in my previous towns.

I'm currently saving up to buy a new cartridge for fun and lie and say i joined in 2013 that probably won't work out because of th tiny tree. And I time travel a lot and my history of my town will be all jacked up saying April then September then April again. I mean I would time travel but not back and forth. I don't cycle and I time travel because I am very impatient when it comes to building my house and shops. I have Rosie, Felicity and Ankha they are some Dreamies, and I don't want to give them up since I gave TBT and IGB for all three. And at the time I thought my map was perfect, picked it and now I think it's a monstrosity of all maps. I put my house smack dab in the middle of the town and looks weird. I love all my villagers especially my dreamies. I don't wanna give them up. I'll probably give my other cartridge to my brother and I'll just transfer all my stuff in the new town.

Please help! It doesn't really help considering the fact I reset almost all the time
 
I thoguht I found the pefect layout but I really hate it....I would restart but I dont have anyone to hold Marshal and my items
 
I'm considering resetting.

I have some villagers who I really love (Marshal, Ankha, Fang, Bluebear, Fuschia), but because mainstreet has been fully upgraded, fossils completed, house fully expanded, I really don't feel like there's much for me to do in the game.

I've also been on a hiatus from the game for a while (~3 months), so I'm planning to go back to it, do some paths and talk to my villagers again to see if I want to keep my current town. I know all my villagers are still there because I saved and stopped playing on a day when someone asked to move. If I don't feel engaged, then I'll reset.

I have some TBT saved up so I can look to buy Marshal and Ankha (they were 2 of my starting villagers) if I reset. As for bells, I don't really care because I can work from bottom up. The same with hybrids and items (I don't have any super rare hybrids except gold roses), although I guess I can sell anything rare for TBT before I reset.
 
I "restarted" my town (well, actually I saved my old town with powersaves and started a second town so I can go back to my old town as well) last night. Guess who 3 of my starting villagers were: Punchy, Merengue and Gaston! I call myself lucky lol
 
(i hope i am doing this right) Hello people, I want to reset my town but it's pretty difficult because I have three of my favourite villagers (Rudy, Drago, ROLF), museum and encyclopedia progress, quite a number of bells and objects (i do not have anyone to hold them), but i really hate the appearance of my mayor and the layout of the town. I am one week in. Some advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you! <3

EDIT: I've reset my town!

Thank Allah and the saints that I discovered plot resetting. Kyle was moving in, and the first place he set his plot disrupted a major pathway junction. Now he's off to the side in a place I had no big plans for. Props to the Bell Tree community for informing me about this tactic.
 
I am doubting whether to reset my town again or not.

I restarted last time on the 7th of June or something. I really wanted to feel connected with my ACNL again. I got a great map and some good starting villagers, of which only Biskit remains. I could buy Fang, my ultimate dreamie, after 2 days of playing and I still adore him in my town.

All was well, I didn't TT at all and I felt a great connection with my town and villagers.
Until I got a bit bored one day (I had nothing else to do) and decided to try and TT one of my unwanted villagers out. It went well and no mistakes were made, but ever since I do TT quite a lot and it's made me feel lose connection with my villagers.

Now the only jock I like, Genji, has moved out accidentally...

I still like my town, but there are some layout things that I cannot work around with and are starting to annoy me more and more. I feel the urge to restart.
Only thing is that I have a lot of villagers I like. But I guess it wouldn't really be a problem to obtain them again, or start fresh with some new villagers.

If I reset, I won't ever TT again, that's for sure. Not ever.

What are your thoughts? Should I do it? Since my town is still relatively new, not too much progress is lost for me =)

I think you should reset! Especially since you're in the early stages of development and already have regrets and dislikes about the town (like the layout), I think it's a perfect opportunity for you to reset! Villagers can always be acquired through trades, so I don't think you'll have a problem finding the ones that you want back. I also found that each time I reset, I learned to really like another villager that was not on my original dreamie roster... so it's always nice to explore your options. But the town layout can never be changed
 
I'm considering resetting my town.

I haven't played for almost two years so I honestly forgot how to play. My town is a mess. Flowers everywhere, trees that I don't want everywhere. The map is very awkward to work with. Not a lot of space to do anything. My cafe' is in a very awkward spot, as is my retail.

My only problem is, I've gotten so far in this game. I have every store unlocked. Mortgage almost payed off. I have almost all of my dreamies (almost all top tiers). So much furniture and so many clothes. I don't want to start from scratch to obtain all that again. But I'm very unhappy :/

I say, reset, as all of those things are re-workable except the map and the placement of buildings on it! Find a perfect or near-enough perfect map, and now you have more awareness of where you want buildings such as the cafe to be, place them with more care so you won't think back in a month or so and regret it.

Villagers can be gotten back either by cycling yourself (if you don't mind TTing) or by trading with other users and their friendships with your mayor can be rebuilt again. The hardest thing for me when rebuilding is the catalog/museum/fish/bugs wiping and having to start from scratch again, but maybe it'll add that challenge and goal of trying to complete them back into the game? You could always migrate your mayor to another person's cartridge and move them back in afterwards if you don't feel like losing all of that (and, if the ability to migrate and keep catalog/fishlist is still a feature in NL)

Good luck! I hope you come to a decision you're happy with.
 
Yesterday i just thought you know what im bored of my old town didn't like the layout hate my mayor and the way she looked only thing i liked was my villagers! Was a shame to lose them but im sooooo happy i started again :D found a map i adore perfect for me :D and im meeting lots of new villagers as my old town was at its limit and couldn't get any more D: best decision ive made in ages!! Did take me months to come to this conclusion though aha!
 
I'm resetting soon and I have half of my dream villagers, but I'm just not having fun anymore because I hate my layout so much and didn't think it through at all. This will be my third time resetting and I hope to make it my last, so I'll probably spend a LONG time trying to find the perfect map. I feel insane because I'm leaving all of my favorite villagers behind, but I know with enough patience I'll get them back.. I can't believe I'm losing Olivia again.

I couldn't see myself placing important PWPs anywhere I like, and all I've done recently was time travel to get rid of villagers I don't like, and even that has been failing me and I'm so sick of doing it, I miss doing stuff for my favorite villagers and not worrying about everything I don't like. I never plot resetted, and I really should have and I'll start doing so and hope I don't mess up, because Freya moved in not long ago but it was such a bad spot I didn't know what to do with it.

This time I'm just going to be so much more careful and worry about the layout over getting any specific villagers. Hopefully I can get some of them back soon.. but it's so hard to earn TBT and that's how most go for, and I never have that many in game bells anyways. I don't know. We'll just see. I hope I have good luck like many others here and find a town layout that makes me not regret my decision!

You should villager reset for dreamies! I got all of mine on the same weekend and didn't spend anything! I definitely think it's worth resetting a lot for a map you're going to love - when I reset almost a month ago I was really nervous at first, but after a couple evenings of map resetting and then a couple more of villager resetting I was right back to enjoying the game again.

Good luck!
 
Today is the day~! The day after my campsite is finished and a have a 100% chance on a villager.

So I decided to reset a bit to come along a villager to my liking (which is quite a range of villagers). I am writing this as I am doing resets.

I am looking for a lazy, a cute Uchi (Deirdre or Fuchsia preferably) or a cute peppy.

- On the first try, I got Biskit O_O I had him as an original in my previous town, but I want something fresh, so I declined and reset.
- Next was Henry. I don't really like the frogs, so it was a no for me, though he was reasonably cute.
- Next, Chevre! Sooooo cute! But I already have two normals! I doubted for quite long, but decided to pass on her.
- Vic came next, but no, the Bulls are a bit too... meh for me.
- Next on, Charlise. Nooope, I have Paula and I realllyyyyyy dislike her. Don't gimme another uchi bear!
- Then Rasher, dang, he scared the crap out of me O_O
- Del NOOOOO, he was a voided move-in from another town... The inconveniences he caused me... Moving on!

At this point I am doubting whether I should have just taken Biskit or Chevre XD

- And then the next one is Marshal~! (*-*) Not again! In my 2 previous towns I've gotten Marshal from the campsite. He's so adorable, maaawwwwww should I do it or not? T~T No, no, not gonna be tempted by those eyes!
- Ankha XD My gosh, what is playing on her radio? It's adorable! I've had Ankha as original villager twice, but in her original house she has no record player, so I've never heard the song! But nope, no Ankha for me!
- Goldie~ Adorable and cute! I do really really like her... But I have two normals already!
- Truffles... Is that a... peppy?
- Victoria~! Ohmygosh a peppy horse! Oh dear I might want her! Although with her yellow cap, I fear she won't look good in other shirts.... No, I shall continue!
- Some Elvis-looking mouse... I don't bother with mouses XD
- Groucho, he seems quite cute, but Fang is my ultimate cranky~
- Marina XD Another normal.. Pass!
- Graham. No fan of the hamsters.
- Boone. No, no gorillas.
- Claudia. Pass!
- A duck...
- Eugene, but I have Colton as a smug =)

Alright, giving up for now, have to go shopping, yay~! :D
 
If anyone is resetting and have a free spot in your town, would you mind taking one of my villagers so that he'll disappear when you reset?

I'm having the hardest time finding someone to adopt him and I don't want him in the void (because even the trick about visiting someone with a full town isn't 100% reliable from what I've read here before), and I have my game on hold because he's in boxes :/

Thanks!
