The Resetting Thread

I restarted at the end of July and I thought I found the perfect town but now I'm really unhappy with it. I had everything planned out but TT and plot resetting just kills my enjoyment of the game (I don't know why I keep making this mistake!). I'm thinking of selling the furniture/hybrids/villagers I brought over from my old town and using my bells to buy tbt. Only thing is I don't know if I'll have time to play much now because college is starting soon. So yeah should I bother?! I miss playing the game but I just have no motivation to play in this town anymore.
 
So I restarted again. Found a cool town map after around a half an hour of map resetting. It doesn't meet every requirement I have (it has two beaches instead of one) but it is pretty nice and my starting villagers are good too (Hopper, Erick, Wendy, Mallory, Biff). So I think I'm going to play in this town for a while and see what happens! :)
 
Okay, I just thought of this so yeah.
I have a feeling I should reset, but I can't decide.

Pros of resetting:
- I can sell all my current items for TBT and get atomenergien items for all that TBT
- I can get round grass like I want
- I can get the native Fruit I want
- I get to find a better town name
- I can take things slowly (no TT'ing)
- I get a fresh start

Cons of resetting:
- Losing some of my dreamies
- Losing T&T emporium ect ect
- FUNDS
- TOM NOOK
- FURNITURE
- HYBRIDS
- Have to let go of all the things I achieved easily by TT'ing

So what do you guys think!
Should I reset?
Please help!
 
Thinking about resetting and I'm seriously conflicted...help, please?

Okay. So, I've had Balamb for over two years, I've never reset, ect. The town is an absolute mess. For many reasons: I didn't realize I could keep map resetting in the beginning...I put my mayor's house by the re-tail shop, everything is cluttered and even though I have FINALLY gotten all of my perma-villagers, I've been toying with resetting lately.

The main reason I wouldn't want to reset is because of my villagers. BUT I could create a backup of my current town and move them onto another cartridge and then move them back onto my newly created town (sorry if that doesn't make sense).

Anyway, do you guys think I should? Or should I just stick with the hot mess I currently have?
 
if the only reason you really want to keep your town is the villagers then i'd say reset. as you said, you can get them back. also villager resetting is a thing :>
 
Yeah...my villagers really are the only reason. And all of my cataloged and unorderables, but those can easily be transported to a new town.
 
I agree! If you're only keeping your town as is because of your villagers, I suggest resetting. Having a town you don't like can be super frustrating and will keep you from enjoying the villagers you have or your time playing. If you have a way of keeping your villagers and getting them back, then I say go for it! If I could I'd reset too, but I can't so...
 
Picked up a second* copy of the game cheap (about 30% off) and about to start map resetting. This will either take me an hour or a week haha.

*I actually used to own two copies back in summer 2013, but ended up selling it October the same year after college started up again.

Thanks, everyone! ^_^ I'm doing a "master save" of Balamb now and getting ready to reset. At least I know I can get back all of my villagers...and that makes me feel better about doing this.

These are ALL THE SAME REASONS AS MINE. It seems you've already made a decision though, I saw your thread. I don't know whether to reset mine or not... I'm getting bored of my current town...
 
I'm thinking of resetting my town which I've had for six months now. I reeeeally just want a fresh start for everything and I'm totally ok with losing all catalogued items, game progress and whatnot. What's holding me back tho is some of my villagers are pretty popular (Groucho, Whitney, Ruby, Genji, Bob, Frita, Marshal, Beau, Molly, Tangy) so should I try TTing all of them out first so that someone else could have their dreamies or do I just let go..?

If you don't mind doing some intense TT'ing for this, then you should go for it. People love giveaways after all.
 
The Resetting bug has been biting me for weeks...

But Resetti is the only one responding to my post.

So nevermind.

Screw You Resetti. I hate you.

um, I think you are misunderstanding. this thread is for people who are resetting their whole towns. as in, starting over, 100% new game. deleting the old save data, etc..
 
i'd like to reset, but i've been working on my badges, landscape, catalog, etc since 2013- so it would be a shame to reset and lose it all

pros:
- i have pretty much every public work project that ive been trying to get
- everything in main street has been unlocked
- it took a couple of months, but im finally satisfied with my path, flower and blush placements
- i unlocked the train station and town hall redesigning option

cons:
- i have 150+ flowers (hybrids & normal flowers) that i already organized into a pattern. i can always just transfer them to my new town, but then i'd have to think of new placements for the flowers
- i'd like to change my town & mayor name as long as my landscape
- my mayor's house placement is in an awkward area of the map
- i have over 90 million bells, which will most likely take hours to transfer

I would love to do a reset- but honestly I don't remember how the game started for me. And I have like more than 2/3 of bugs, fossils, and diving things. I have maybe 5 paintings (because I didn't know how to spot fakes.) And I've upgraded my house 4 times (maybe 5?). I've got the T&T 2nd upgrade (with the garden store inside). Logically I don't think I've done too much in this game with my 50+ hours and my 4 bronze badges. but like idk. Luckily I only have like 300k bells in my bank so I don't have to worry about transferring an insane amount of money xD

Obviously I'm kind of torn. Also I love my Bonbon, Bruce and Gala. <3
 
augh
I wanna reset because cycling for Dotty at this point will be a thorn in my side. I don't wanna lose most of my villagers. I could #yolo it, but in that case... why not reset? yeaaaaaaaah...
I resetted once before... and now wanna do it again. :/
if cycling would work out for me, I wouldn't care.
yeah, I'd lose my whole catalog, along with a lot of other stuff... bleh.
if anything, I'd like to find people to hold 3 of my villagers... Tammy, Tex and Clay. and someone to hold stuff for me. 'cause there's enough stuff I refuse to lose tbh

I'd lose all my pwps, but I SORT OF don't... really care? /shrug
I just wanna have fun with the game and also wanna have Dotty again without a huge struggle. I should have cycled for her right away like originally planned, what a mistake.
