The Resetting Thread

Summerbun said:
*Posting from my 3DS at like, 3 AM lol.*

Thinking about resetting. I love my villagers (especially Drago, Phoebe, Skye, and Dotty), but that and keeping my items are the only real pros. I'm not very satisfied with any of my villagers' placement, the rock placement, Re-Tail's placement...basically everything's placement. I'm not a fan of my town fruit (pear), and I feel like my bells have gone down the drain from making/destroying PWPs and constantly making/deleting side characters.

Anyone agree that I should reset?

Considering that the cons far outweight the pros, I possibly recommend that you reset. You should save some items that you like, though.

Or maybe get a second copy. Man, everyone suggests this x3
 
Soemone help me should I restart now or on the weekend tomorrow I have school but I have all day to play today, please someone
 
i think i'm too lazy to actually reset but i keep thinking about it ): i get so motivated at the
beginning and then i just stop.

I'm thinking of reseting, but I'm not sure. I love my villagers, and I have a lot of stuff on there, but my town isn't in order at all. There's random things on the ground, villagers' houses unaligned (I'd prefer them in rows or something like that), and I have a vision for a new town.

I'm thinking of getting another AC:NL, but that'd mean my 3rd one, and it's hard to keep track of them all.

Here's my town info:

Residents: Erik, Flurry, Lolly, Molly, Fauna, Stitches, Kid Cat, Whitney, Felicity, Chief

Bells: Over 19mil the last time I checked

Items: Loads of royal crowns, 2 crowns, DLC items, unorderable furniture sets, etc

Places: Every shop except Katrina's. All emotions unlocked. Nookling's upgraded to T&T Emporium

Museum: 1 fossil left
 
Tell me, why exactly do you consider resetting? What do you dislike about the unchangable things of your town that makes you want to reset, and what are things you like about your town?
 
As much as I love Hearts, everything seems to messy. The campsite is right in front of town hall, and I don't even know why I placed it there in the first place. Chief is like in a cramped corner near my house and the river, and there's stuff I need to clean up EVERYWHERE. I'm debating getting my 2nd account to get everything my mayor owns then move out, then reset. I'm still not sure, though.

I've decided to restart my main town today because my old town felt very crowded and I don't have much room for pwps. Hopefully this town does alot better and doesn't end up being as crowded as my old town.
 
I'm going to reset tonight. There are a lot of things I don't like about my town right now. House placement, the ocean and the random parts I have to walk around the whole town to get to the other, villagers and the main reason is that I time traveled, a lot. I feel like I have already beat the game (I know you cant) in a matter of 3 weeks. I need a town name if anyone wants to recommend one. No special theme i'm looking for.
 
When I started my first town, I found out about time traveling early and then promptly time traveled to get everything I wanted really early. The layout of my town somehow made it so there wasn't a lot of usable space to develop as well. I got all the cool items and villagers I wanted... and then promptly lost interest.

My friend warned me that if I cheated and got everything I wanted, I'd stop playing. He was sooo right- until I resets my town I hadn't played in like six months. Yeah, anyway, I reset and I'm super happy with the layout of my new town and I made a pact never to time travel. I'm looking forward to slowly building an awesome town, you know, like I was supposed to the first time XD

Your reason for resting is the exact same reason I am! I time traveled in City Folk and have everything SO quick. When I reset, i'm never going to time travel!

It's so weird how big of a difference it makes! I absolutely ignored my friend when he told me, but low and behold I'm enjoying this town WAY more

That's exactly what I did when the game was released a few years ago! I bought the game on June 9th, discovered TT, and by the end of August, I had lost every possible interest in a game that I was waiting for since THREE years! That's crazy. After August, I totally stopped playing... For two years! That's unbelievable! xD

I started playing again this year, in March. What's sad in this is that I, of course, decided not to TT in my new town... But totally lost it last month due to corruption. :( But because I'm, once again, addicted to this game, I didn't stop playing and now I'm back with a third town! :)

This game is much more enjoyable without TT. :p

New leaf was the first game I had played since I was a teenager, and I loved it for like two months?! So weird.

And that's so awful! What happened to your town- I guess I don't know what 'corruption' entails? And hopefully with the first two you got to figure out what you wanted from the game, so your third town will really shine?

I really hate to admit when I'm wrong. Like ever. But my friend CALLED IT- because I'm getting so much like... simple joy out of building my town day by day. I don't time travel, but I do the diving trick to get PWP's, but I think that might just be a slightly slower way to lose interest, so I think I'm gonna stop XD

By corruption, I mean that one random day, my save file just wouldn't load, giving me the only option to delete it. No explanation was found. :( I don't hack, I didn't mess up with my SD Card, didn't turn off my DS while saving... I really have no explanation.

And yes, I think my third town will be the best, I've learned a lot from my past towns. ;)

And about the PWP trick, I don't think you could lose interest for that. On the contrary, imagine if you don't use this trick, and you only get one new PWP every two weeks... That would make you lose way more interest, no? xD

Oh my gosh that's awful! I've never even heard of that! Did you use the same game to make your new town?

And that's good at least! What kind of things did you figure out to avoid with your new town? When I restarted, I was reallllly choosy about my layout, and I did the new character trick for most of my new villagers, so I got ones that I at least didn't hate. In my first town, the layout was horrendous, and I shot myself in the foot with some of the placement of my permanent structures.

And I can see that. I have this huge open space beneath my event plaza that I want to turn into a park, and if I have to wait six months for the right PWP I think I'll lose my mind XD
 
I'm TTing a lot to get all the villagers I want, but with all the TTing, even with the beautiful ordinance in effect, my grass is quickly dying out... I guess with houses always coming and going it adds up! I couldn't even imagine resetting but if I ever do, that would be why... because I'd have to let it sit for months while hardly playing it in order to let my grass grow back!

maybe I'll take these TT horror stories into account and let up on it... I'm only missing three of my dreamies now anyhow, and with 9-10 villagers, that dick of a duck is bound to move out eventually.

ETA: wth post button y u do twice

I feel like an old cranky person shaking my cane at people who TT. XD I've had such bad experiences trying to boot out villagers I didn't like and having ones I liked decide to move that I have like TT ptsd. And I got villagers I didn't like out this time by talking to them CONSTANTLY so they ding me more. Do you use paths? I honestly just cover up my bald patches, because I to am very impatient with my grass. Other than that, idk how to avoid looking at the bare spots...

And what about the post button?
 
I'm going to reset my town because my layout is a pile of trash. My retail is on the very top left, while my dock is on the bottom right, which is very inconvenient for me because i use the island method a lot, and my town is so horribly cramped that there's, almost no space for public work projects.
