The Resetting Thread

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.

That was pretty much my exact problem with my old town. The river was placed in such a way that somehow there wasn't a lot of usable land. And even with 3 bridges I still somehow never had a good crossing point. Good luck finding a better layout!
 
I kinda want to reset my town, to have a completely fresh start. I feel like I kinda cheated because nearly all my bells were made from here, from trading something I have and just letting it build up. I would feel bad though because of all the time I put into my town, but I don't know. What do I do?

Keep it and if anything get a used cartridge off of craigslist or from a game store. You'll reset and sincerely regret it. (I've done it too many times)
 
I've been thinking that an Undertale themed town would be a cool idea for a while, and I've decided that I'm finally going to put the idea into action.
While I can't afford a fourth cartridge, I haven't played my one year challenge town since Febuary so it's safe to say I already failed the challenge, so that's the town I'm going to delete.
It makes me feel kinda sad because I REALLY like the layout of my OYC town, however the mayor's name, the town's name, and the layout don't match an Undertale theme.

If anyone cares, these are my requirements for the layout:
-Any native fruit except oranges
-Most buildings (town hall, Retail Etc) to be in the top right area (Snowdin)
-Town square to be in the top left (Ruins)
-Horizonatal and relatively straight river (or at least one that divides the town into four or two equal sections)
-Town hall/Train station can be any color
-(OPTIONAL) Star snow
-(OPTIONAL) A straight ramp that leads directly down to the beach with walls on both sides (I'd REEEEEAAAAALLLLLYYY love to have this but if I find a perfect layout without it I'll painfully accept it)
-(OPTIONAL) East Beach (I really don't care how the beach is laid out (one big beach, two separate beaches, private beach etc)

The town name will likely be Home, because I can't fit Undertale or Underground into the 8 Character limit, and cutting letters out of them (Undrtale, Undrgrnd) just makes it look stupid.

Characters will probably be Toriel(Ruins), Sans(Snowdin), Undyne(Waterfall),and Alphys(Hotland).

As much as I'd like to include other characters like Papyrus, I need one character for each area and since Sans and Papyrus share a house it'd be kind of redundant to give him his own.

I have no idea who my dreamies will be yet, however I DO know I need a blue house and a pink house for Blooky and Mettaton, and maybe some cabin-like houses for any residents of Snowdin. Erik comes to mind.

Now, in this new town, I WILL:
Plot reset
Get items from others on here
Time travel

I WON'T:
Hack (Really only because I don't think I can hack because I've updated both my 3Ds')
Get items from my other towns

Wish me luck, I guess. I may reset later today or tomorrow depending on how I'm feeling.
 
I've finally returned to AC after months of not playing. I've decided that I want to reset, but I don't want to lose some of my clothing, bells, and furniture. Is there a thread that I could go to where people are willing to hold items and bells for resetters? That would be super helpful. ;__;

I've actually been considering this for a while, but I've been quite busy lately and haven't had much time to play animal crossing, but good luck, I'm sure it'll turn out great!
 
I know I just got my town, but some ideas here got my thinking, about how I can make my theme so much better.
It's a hunger games capitol theme, spent around 3 hours researching ideas.
Now to reset.... Wish me luck

Whoa, you put so much more thought into your town theme than I did! Mine is just... I like this. This shall be in my town. XD

In any case, it sounds like it'll be awesome- good luck!

Yeah, I decided to put some thought into doing a nice theme. In wild world I played it normally, and I thought it would be fun trying to create my own theme. Just thought it was something different, and I really did enjoy the films.

I reset a couple of days ago and it only took me a few tries to find a town I liked! Sadly I didn't get the ramp I wanted but I got a lot of other nice things. My native fruit is pears, and I have Rosie and Francine as starters. I don't care for either of them but the money I make off of them when they move will definetly help me make progress in this town.

I've finally returned to AC after months of not playing. I've decided that I want to reset, but I don't want to lose some of my clothing, bells, and furniture. Is there a thread that I could go to where people are willing to hold items and bells for resetters? That would be super helpful. ;__;

If you still need someone to hold items for you let me know. More than happy to help!
 
I kind of want to reset but like most don't want to loose some of my things. Would anyone be willing to hold items for me? I would prefer someone who has positive wifi ratings. I've heard of people never getting their items back and I really don't want that to happen. I can also tip igb to whoever can help me out :)
 
Alright we can do it then. I need a little bit to figure out what I want to keep. I'll let you know and thank you for offering :)
 
Should I reset?

I really want to reset. I hate my town layout and house placement, but I've completed the whole of main street and got the police station, the caf? and the campsite. I've spent millions of bells on my house and pwps but I've now run out of space. When I first started, I chose my map on a whim and didn't really think about it. I'm not enjoying playing anymore as I can't do anything. I absolutely love my villagers and can't bare to lose them but I want something new. I can keep all of my items in my sister's town but I'm scared that I'll regret it. Can someone please help me?
 
It seems like the best decision here is to reset. I'd like to know one thing though: you said:
I'm not enjoying playing anymore as I can't do anything
What makes it so that you 'can't do anything'? (and what can't you do?) I feel like that is based off of how you feel about your town, there probably are things you can do. You need to realise with these things that resetting won't neccessarily solve it. You'll have to find motivation to develop any town, and although a fresh town will give you motivation at first, it won't stay forever and you have to motivate yourself. I hope it's clear what I mean, haha. I still think that resetting is the best option in this situation, but I just wanted to mention it.
 
I know where you're coming from :) it's just that I did try to landscape my town, but after placing my path, there wasn't any space for anything like flowers and bushes so I couldn't continue. It just feels like the only reason I go to play on it anymore is to see if any villagers are leaving. I think that I will probably reset. Thanks for your help ;)
 
I've decided on Monday i am going to reset. I have a lot of stuff i wish to take with me. Is there someone on Monday who can hold my items for me for a few hours?

I would be willing to hold your items!


I've been considering resetting these past few days. I recently reset after not playing for like...a year? My favourite villagers had left and all my hybrids were dead and there didn't seem like much of a point in continuing. But ever since I made a new town I feel like the magic is kind of gone? I think part of it might be that I kind of settled with my map after resetting for a few days. It didn't really have any of the things I was looking for (least favourite native fruit, bad rock placement, retail in a bad place, etc).

I've been playing on my new town every single day for like...2 months or so. Which I guess isn't a lot I the long run, but it seems like a lot! I have sunk a few million bells into my house, have a lot of the permanent structures built, and have a few villagers I really like! But I guess I'm just kind of worried if I keep playing I'm eventually going to hate my town and have to reset after another few months and it will be even harder. But on the flip side, I'm scared if I reset I will still never be able to find a town that I like as much as my first one...

Just really not sure what to do :c
