The Resetting Thread

Hmm, I reset my file but I am okay with most layouts and fruit doesn't bother me. Villagers do. My goal is to have both Merengue and Diana in my starting town but if only one showed up would making my town a cycling town until I completed my dreamie list be a good idea. So unsure.
 
For anyone who is sitting on the fence about resetting, my advice is to do it. Once you have found something you don't like about your town, it'll just keep bugging you and ruining the game for you. Remember that villagers, badges, shops, bells, encyclopedias and furniture can all be achieved again or bought through the forums, but map, fruit, grass shape, train station/town hall colours are permanent.

It may take a while to find your perfect map but once you have, it's so worth it!
 
Hi Um I need help I've taken everything out of my town and into my locker ready to reset and I look around and I remeber stuff (cries) now I don't want to but if I do I want my villagers with me so if any1 can help me with items or trading villagers through I'd really appreciate it... I can only pay igb...so 15mill?
 
I'm thinking of resetting my town.. only had it like 13 days, something just doesn't feel right about the town, the villagers are ok, but I dunno..what do you guys think I should do?

It's better to restart when you haven't really achieved anything and haven't gotten attached... so if the map doesn't feel right to you - go for it!
 
I like my map, already have 2/10 dreamies, and lots of hybrids and things, but a really small part of me is thinking to reset Moonview. Although the map is great, I don't know where I'll put any of my PWP's. I just can't think of anything that works.
I'm trying to make a modern and city themed town. I love my map, I really do, but I have no idea what to do with it.

Maybe post a thread about it? I think a lot of people would have an opinion and could help you! :>

I constantly have a nagging that I want to reset my map (because I hate the river layout), but I'm trying to stick with it. Since you already have 2 dreamies and hybrids, maybe ask for help and then you can keep your town :>

Better to restart now after 13 days than to want to restart after 13 medals, all the shops open, all the hybrids, 10/10 dreamies...etc.

If it doesn't feel right now, it is probably not going to feel "right" eventually. :(
 
I've had the same town since June of 2013 and I want to reset because too many people have the same town name, and I have too many rocks in the way of all of the paths that I've wanted. It's just so hard for me to let go because I've played on this map for so long and I just really like how both halves of the map are of equal size. It bothers me so much when the river doesn't cut it in half horizontally. Or when there's a strip of tiny land in the corners.

I don't really care about villagers because I like a lot of them, so I could cycle my other cartridge and get the villagers I'd like. It's just the whole... *sigh* PWP's, re-catching all of my bugs... I don't know. All of this just to change the town name? And because of a couple of stupid rocks? I don't know. Everything else seems great. :(

That's a really tough question...

When you have had a town for as long as you have, it becomes a part of you - you have spent so much time with that town!

I understand the rock dilemma - I had a town for quite a while and tried to live with rocks - I am pretty sure that town randomly had the maximum number of rocks.

If you feel like it, you could always get a second copy of New Leaf, and start playing with that town. Reset a bunch of times until you get the map you want. Use your IGB to buy new fun villagers here using the Villager Trading Plaza here on the boards.

Since you have had this town for so long, it should be something you think about. I imagine you have been thinking awhile before you posted here. Give it a few days and see what your heart says. It's a tough decision - good luck on whatever you decide.

Honestly, I think I know what I'm going to have to do. I'm going to get a spare cartridge of ACNL, start over there. Once I'm satisfied that I do or do not need to reset, I can can move the cartridge save over to my 3ds's ACNL digital copy. That way I can keep both towns until Im 100% sure I can let go of the old one.

At the time I made 'Rosewood' I had no idea how many other people would name their town the same thing. It bothers me so much T___T; I mean I love the name and its great, but jeeesh, everyone I streetpass is Rosewood, and so many signatures on here are Rosewood......
 
Ok, not sure if I should create a second town...part of me REALLY wants to try to get an awesomely plotted town like Royce or Sholee, but I don't know if I have the patience to do it.

Also, I really like the villagers I have in my town right now, I just don't like where they are ;_; I don't want to abandon my current town, but I feel like that's what will happen in order to dedicate time to plot re-setting a new town...

Any thoughts or advice? :>

If I were you, I'd buy a new town (if you have money) and transfer them, and plot reset. It's extremely worth it to do so, and it'll pay off! Then you can have 2 towns, and double the dreamies!:D However, you can also ask people to hold them, or sell them and find them again!

TLDR: Buy a new town if you have money, or transfer them to create the town of your dreams! :D
 
*lies on the floor* I really don't know if I should restart either.

I mean, I've picked up this game for months now, and I promised myself I would make this town better than my first town which failed. But what bugs me now is my town map, how two lakes are surrounding my train station, how the rocks are in the way of my paths, and how my house is so close to the town tree that I just don't know where to place a path for it. The villagers' house placing are actually nice, but it's just... the town map.

I love my dreamies to bits, I've completed the shopping district, and I've achieved the perfect town status. I don't want to let go of this town, but I also don't want to let go of what I've already achieved and the effort it took me to achieve them. It's hard for me to connect to others from where I live, so it'll be hard fixing a new town without the help of others. I also don't have a lot of time except during the Christmas break to start again, but I want to have a better town map. I don't mind about IGB; I have a source of TBT here and I can always buy some IGB with TBT. But everything else...

(I'm sorry if you're tired of the typical 'I'm attached to my town but I want to reset' dilemma QnQ It just feels better when you have other's confirmation-- for me, anyway. PS: I'm not bent on buying another cartridge; I want to use my money to buy more important things this holiday. :])

Its ok! If you have the money, go buy a new town! It; gives you a thrill while not losing anothing! ORRRR you can simply create a new character! The thrill is new, but just no mayor powers. But if the map is getting in your way of having fun, then reset! Go for it!

If your map is really the problem, then it's probably a good idea to reset. You can find people here on the forum to hold your items and villagers, if you want to keep those.

If you do want to keep your map, though, but would like some feedback, perhaps you could share your Dream Address with us and people can give you some advice on where to put paths and such?

I don't think you should reset. I reset a few months ago (in July) as well and during mostly September I felt very useless as I barely had any pwps (only one bridge I placed) and it was like I didn't achieve anything in those two months. I also started being a bit annoyed by some of the little things of my layout and a small urge to reset came to me, with the feeling that I could be productive in the town from the start. But then I realised that the cycle would just start over again and I'd get those feelings again in a new town.
You made this town to make it better than your previous town, and if you reset then you failed that mission and the same will probably happen with your new town. Try to work around it and create some areas you can be proud of; that'll make you feel confident about your town. Just keep in mind that back when you started this town, you liked this map and chose it for a reason; it's just that you start disliking it a bit now. If you'd restart again, the same would happen in a few months.
I hope this helped :) If you decide to reset anyway, good luck with your new town and if not, good luck with your current one. No matter what you do, I'm sure it'll be a great town. :blush:
