The Resetting Thread

Samus said:
Okay, I need someone to hold all my stuff urgently. I have about 85 items I want to keep exactly. Most of them are unorderables and DLC. (not including all my bags of money though). And it would also be appreciated if I could save a pro design which I cant find the QR code for in town. Pleaaaasseeeeeee.

My message goes to anyone - I'm more than willing to help!
 
I hate myself so much. I have nearly all my dream villagers and I feel like restarting because

a.) these villagers KEEP SINGING THEIR TOWN TUNE FROM PAST TOWNS ALL THE TIME
b.) this layout kind of sucks lots
c.) not fond of the train station color (not changing exterior, so this matters)
d.) my bby Merengue left me and I don't feel like going through 16 villagers

I feel like I'm never going to keep a town forever or ever get the final shop upgrades legit. ;_;
 
I think you should restart if you don't like your layout but villagers are pretty much always going to sing their town tunes so you can't really change that.

Villagers singing their old town tunes are the only reason I don't trade/buy villagers. I hate it so much when they're like "I used to know this one kid back in ....." ugh!
 
I really wish I had an extra copy of New Leaf. I would've kept my first town on my downloaded copy and I would've done everything I wanted on that one, and used the other as a mule for whatever I wanted. I also wish I had it so I could restart on it to feed the hunger of wanting to restart. Right now, I do have some of my dreamies. Some things are going well in my town, that's for sure... however, I can't help but worry so much over the smallest things. In my first town, I did know a good amount about the game because I watched a lot of videos before getting the game, but I didn't know about the reset trick when it comes to villagers, I wasn't interested in trading, etc. I even managed to get some nice villagers by luck. It wasn't the best layout in the world. I liked it at first but then started to dislike it. I think I should've kept it though, especially considering I regret it now. Isn't that how it always is? :p

Anyway, I don't know if I do want to reset or not. I'm kind of tempted, but at the same time I could keep my current town. I keep thinking about resetting and just not worrying about certain things. I might spend a small amount of time resetting to get a layout that I like or something, but if I don't have the right fruit or whatever, I won't let it bother me. If I start with 5 animals I dislike, I'd probably reset and try again, but if they were okay, I'd just keep the town. That way I can just turn the game into much more of a casual thing. No need to worry about trading. Sure, I could give some animals away if they move out and other people want them, but if I can't get ahold of my dreamies, I won't mind. I could just stop worrying about things in my current town, but... it's a little difficult to explain. It wouldn't feel right to be worrying about getting everything perfect, to suddenly not caring.

I don't know if I should do it. I have a feeling I'd end up regretting the reset, but then not worrying about my town and just playing whenever I can would be nice. Hmm...
 
So yet again I poked Leonardo into my mothers game for safe keeping and restarted...
I gave into temptation..
I feel I have actually found my perfect town though.

Pros:
Simple river that leaves lots of open space
Lolly as starter villager
Plaza in the centre of town
Re-Tail near the train station (didn't think this would be as good as it is)
My house location (in the middle of town by the plaza)
2 long beaches
PEACHES!

Cons:
No villagers that I really like but Lolly and Purrl (meh)

That's about it really
In this village I plan to let it grow naturally, no villager resetting or anything. I also plan on getting everyones pictures before they move out. Even the uglies, this could be a never ending quest. But maybe I'll grow attached to villagers that I didn't like before.
 
Gah I want to reset again, 'cause of looking at this thread.

Dear Santa

For Christmas, can I have another copy of AnimalCrossing:NewLeaf?

My advice? Don't reset. I spent 3 months resetting, totalling over 9,000 resets. It was hell.

I know what it's like to want to start fresh, nothing beats that 'brand new town' feeling. But really, it only lasts about an hour, then you'll want to go again. Stick with your town, then you'll have nothing to regret :) When i get the restart-itch, I find that looking through all the pictures I took in my town convinces me not too :D

But, if you're really not happy, go for it. It sounds like you really want a brand new start. It'll only niggle at you more if you leave it much longer...
 
I really want to reset, but I keep having this nagging thought in my head that I'll regret it, I'm gonna lose so much progress, and I'm gonna lose my whole bug and fish collection. My town is just awful though, and I just want to reset so badly.

I mean, I know I have all my dream villagers. But life is gonna get a bit stale having the same villagers day in, day out, isn't it? I worked really hard to get them, though.. Hnng. I like my layout, but I feel like I could find a better one. But then I have to consider getting apples, circle grass. And then I wouldn't have my wonderful castle house. And I'd obviously have to start again. But I don't think I'd mind that, considering I TT. And then all the money towards my PWPs, all my PWPs, all my hard work... gone. Then again, I reset once. I can do it again. Decisions, decisions...
What do you guys think I should do? Reset? Or keep my town?

And, if I do keep my town, when I complete everything (T&T emporium, all emotions, big house, fairytale town hall and station, all fairytale PWPs, complete encyclopedia)(which will take a while) I'd reset. But like that's ages away in the future. Waaaaaaay off.

GUYS HELP ME A NEW THING TO THINK ABOUT HAS POPPED UP NOW. I NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS THREAD.

And, anyway, as life gets busier, I'll probably stop playing, then come back to find it's a wasteland, then reset. But like is that the way to go?

I'd say to get another copy. I think that's what I'm going to do. I'll keep checking on my main one every few days just to make sure things stay how I want them, and use the other one for much, much more of a casual thing, or to TT and not worry about anything. And at least in my case, it might be possible to pass villagers over to my other file, or would I need two 3DS consoles for that? Either way, I can just use that as a mule and for messing about, I suppose. Use that extra file for the resetting needs. I would say it's not worth it to lose all of that progress. I regret resetting my first and best town, and I can only hope my current one would ever become that good.

The second file wouldn't even need to be perfect, if you don't want to spend the time trying to get a perfect town again. If you're happy with what you've got, then you should definitely keep it.

Well, I'm goin' into town in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I can snag a second copy.

But really, for the most part, my only criticism of my town is the grass xD It's just.. y'know, resetting's addictive? I'll just back out of this thread and not return. It's making me want to reset myself. It's.. just.. addictive. Gah.

*sob sob* Uploading pics to my laptop and I can see pics of my old town. I miss it.
 
I reset my City Folk game because it was a barren wasteland. I just felt really bad for the villagers living there.
I say if you return to...pretty much a dead town, that's when you should reset. Though make sure you have someone hang onto your bells and valuables so you don't lose those.

Haha, that's exactly like me! It might be foolish, but I still believe in Santa (though not as much as before, of course; sometimes I wonder if my parents do anything). It's fun making a list anyway. Plus, I'm only 13, so there's lots of things in the world I still want!
Anyway, I want another copy of New Leaf so I can save one for either trading or cycling villagers. I'll probably cycle. It won't be too big of a deal to not get another copy, but I really want one. c:
I'm just worried that I'll never get out of the resetting loop, though. I don't want to become bored. But, now that I think about it, that's a good reason to have another copy so I can just reset over and over! :)

That's why I want another copy! Trading, selling, cycling, and resetting again and again and again and again!
 
Phoebe moved and I'm thinking of resetting. But I don't want to lose Diana and other things(and I could just cycle for Phoebe) so yup.

Anyways, does the count is based on each move-in or each move-out?

Move out.
 
I have been thinking about resetting my town for a few weeks now to where i'm not even happy with the town I live in at all. This was my first animal crossing and I made stupid mistakes like putting my house near a cliff and ramp because I thought seashells were an awesome source of money. I'm okay with my fruit but it isn't the best. I have pears but I like apples and cherrys better. I also HATE the name I gave my town (Mewtown) I saw someone on here with the town name delfino (the island in super mario sunshine, my favorite video game) and I thought that name fit me well. So this morning I am resetting. I know about animal crossing to an extent that I can make wise decisions such as the placement of my home, I know to but the flowers/saplings from leif every day when I get them, etc . Sorry for writing a lot to read (I usually write about 3 lines)
 
I really want to reset, but I have so much stuff I want to save. I've been thinking about resetting for almost a week now, I haven't even played the game. I really just want to get it over with, but I also want to keep my stuff.
