The Resetting Thread

I had restarted my village from 2013 because I hadn't played it in so long... I actually don't regret it. I like the fresh start resetting gave me. As well as being able to accurately track my fish, bugs, and dives for badges from Phineas.
 
Honestly, if you want to reset, then go for it. If you're unhappy with the way your current town is turning out, it's best to Reset as soon as possible.
 
I feel like it makes sense for me to reset since I haven't touched my game in forever... I saw a couple vids of all these perfect towns and I wanna try to make a perfect one too!
 
I honestly hate my town and am considering resetting, but I've put too much effort into it D:
 
personally, I would never reset if I were far into the game. I was forced to reset before during a mishap with transferring data from my old DS to my new one, and losing everything I had worked hard on and all of my villagers (including two of my favorite dreamies- Kidd and Snake) was heartbreaking for me. Despite this, I can understand people wanting to get a fresh start for whatever reason. It's just something that I wouldn't be able to do myself, I get attached too easily.

Resetting at the beginning of the game to get certain villagers/maps/what-have-you is something I understand and do myself, although something about it feels dirty to me. Part of the game's charm is how every town is unique, from what you're given at the beginning to how you shape the town from there, and immediately rejecting a town because "oh ew, all these villagers suck" and repeatedly soft resetting to get something you consider "good" seems to abuse the game in a way. Or at least that's how I see it because I'm sensitive, haha. At the same time, I feel like it's a good thing to start with a town that you feel comfortable with, rather than settling with an annoying map and not-so-great villagers.

Just a few nights ago I picked up my DS and said "hey, you know what I should get back into? Animal Crossing." The first town I made had too many villagers I disliked. Reset. The next town had some decent villagers (including two top tiers - Chief and Diana), and I almost stuck with it if it weren't for the annoyingly awful map. Reset. Third town had a nice map and all good (in my opinion) villagers as the base 5, Sydney, Ankha, Puck, Pinky, and Fang. Sydney I had already liked, Fang I hadn't cared about before but fell in love with as soon as I met him. This town I felt happy with, and is the one I decided to stick with. Hopefully I've found my forever town.

Sorry for long-ish post, I just had a lot to say on this topic. Also, this is my first post on this site woohoo.
 
I really want to reset. I hate my mayor's name and my town name, but other than that, I love my town more that anything. I haven't played in awhile and I'm gonna fix up my town to it's former glory, but my Mayor's name ruins the experience. I don't want anyone visiting my town because they'll see my mayor's name. To be honest, I can live with my town's name, but I wish I could just change my mayor's name. I know it's a stupid reason to reset but it's really bothering me. I know there's a hack to change it but I'm too scared that I'll glitch my game or something. Ugh, who would've guessed this game could so stressful?
 
I love the villagers in my town, yes. But that's really it. I have 40mil bells from doing something here on the forums, that ruins the experience. I don't like my map- it's hard to put down paths in a good place and it's just generally bad. I feel like a fresh start is what I need. However, I do want to move some stuff, but to do that I have to get someone I trust, which is not easy for me...
 
I'm thinking of resetting. Again, LOL. I have no specific reason to, other than the whole idea of "hm, Spring is arriving, I feel like a new start for my town!"
 
I had restarted a bit ago because my old cartridge got broken.

Now I had to restart again because my kids took an active interest in playing the game too and wanted to help pick out a map and dreamie list. Lol.
 
I really want to reset, because I don't want to TT just to get 1 villager out. It makes my town filled with weeds. My friend is saying: "DOn't reset you reset oo much and I'm tired of it." I wanna cry right now, I hate this villager and I truly want her out, but it's not worth it in the end.

I started this town on Thursday, and am OK with everything but that villager. I have a villager that my friend loved, and she'd be sad to see her gone forever.

I don't know what to do. I can't cycle to save my life, meaning the villager is stuck here for a long time.

Reset or try to get her out?
 
Well, i dont have reasons to reset cause i have my dream villagers now, i have good layout, almost a dream map but one think is annoying (even2) but i dont like my plazas place.. Its too near to cliff. And campsite is close to trainrail
I still dont want to reset cause i have perfect town rating so,,

I think it's worth trying to get her out, even though I can see you really don't like this villager you honestly don't have to talk to them if you don't want to. I don't think it's worth deleting a town over one villager that you can possibly move away. Just keep this in mind, there's a possibility that the villager you dislike will move away soon - or eventually so it's really not worth it. Would you rather start again unlocking all the shops and such? trust me it's a lot of hard work. Even if you did restart, there's a fair chance that villager could just move back in again. I think if you get her out now or later, you won't have to see her again at all except on mainstreet, so it's worth trying to get her out.

I mean, it still wouldn't be a big loss. I just started Thursday, and am not that atttached

Tried plot resetting for the first time. TT to the plot setting date to 5:55am with a character, then quit. Started a new file so the new character would be in town before 6am. When the time rolled over to 6am, I ran around looking for the plot. The town should have reset, but nothing showed up. There was no plot of land anywhere to be seen. So, since the town should have started a new day at 6am, I loaded up a character thinking that animal just hadn't moved in yet.
I was wrong.
They moved in right. next. to. my. house. Destroyed a rare flower patch, ruined my layout, reuined my pathway, my view, and his house is a dark blight. I know it's Apollo, but now I'm going to ignore him until he goes away.
So this now leaves me with two animals to kick out: Cherry and Apollo. Forcing Apollo to move hurts, since he was in my campsite, and I wanted him. I just didn't want him bumper-humping my house. *sigh*
I need both of these characters gone to return my town to what it was before I messed it up.
Why didn't the TT/new character trick work?

You might wanna put this in the ask ACNL questions here thread. This thread is for if you're planning on resetting your town! Not plot resetting, haha. I'm sure somebody can help you there, as I don't quite know the answer myself. :)
