The Resetting Thread

Im thinking of resetting,
My town looks bad imo, I loved it at first but now that I look at it its not as great as others! I have marshal and my fav kitty villagers over on the right next to the orchard and town hall, Gabi, Whitney and one other all the way on the left right next to the cliff and plaza so I cant place and PWPs to make it look good! and then theres lonely shari all the way down the bottom of the map, right next to retail... I chose the first map option as It wasnt suppose to be serious and just to get a general feel of the game, but the more I played the more I developed... and eventually it was too late to reset... I Didn't get to choose the layout I want, My native fruit is pear and honestly I would've wanted oranges or peaches, and I TT'd alot to get the upgrades, in general the whole town is just a mess and I rly want to reset! If you have the time please visit my DA and let me know if I should reset!! DA: 7900-6679-3705 p.s, Im obsessed with perfection!

also if I were to backup my save on my pc, reset, and then overwrite my new data with my old later on, would everything be the way I left it or would I still have my new data instead?
 
@MaddisonGamer6
The only question you should ask yourself is: will resetting change this?
Based on your reasons, it seems like most of the things you dislike are changable over time and resetting won't neccessarily make everything better. Your villagers' house locations, for example. You can move the villagers of which you dislike their house location out and get new villagers, until all the houses are in a place you are okay with. And in general; all towns, even those that you see as perfect, were once seen by their mayor as bad and hopeless. All players have thought their map was bad, but learning to live with it, and working with what you have instead of giving up and going through the same process in your new town, is what makes your town great. Remember, your town is unique and you should never compare to others, especially not feel bad about your town because of it. No town is perfect - especially not to the owner, who will always see it as worse than others.

Hopefully my inspirational stuff helped, I know I make too much of a thing about it but I do feel like it's an important thing to realise. :lemon:
 
@Barbara
I really wish your answer convinced me :( but its more the layout and fruit that concerns me, I could get someone to hold my treasured villagers while I make my new town, also I forgot to mention that I named my town after my location, which was really stupid of me. and its kinda hard to set up my town the way I want with the placing of the ponds, Rivers and permanent PWPs. id get someone to hold my Bells, flowers and stuff. My family says I should reset, a fresh start they said. id probably would reset but I just thought, im almost done with my museum... museum collections aren't important, right? I mean overall I just want a different fruit and layout...
 
I always end up not happy with my towns. The town I have now is my far the most I was proud of and I put so much time into it. I really want to do a town where it had bushes to line the path but it has no paths put down. But the town I have now, most of the land is thin so it's hard to make the paths. I am really not happy with my town.

Pros of resetting:
Better layout so I can make my paths
A new start is always nice
New mayor name

Cons or resetting:
The labour of transferring everything
I will have to get all my dreamies again
I got perfect town yesterday
I've got quite a lot of pwps avalible

I really don't know

If you are unhappy with your town, you will continue to be unhappy.
Have you ever reset before? Because it feels so exciting to reset for the first time lmao
Too bad I've reset 5 times....

Update: I've decided to reset. im currently trying to find a town with either Diana or Flora in it. Then I'm planning to move a few of my dreamies to this new town from my old town c:

Ahh ~ Good for you! Good luck with your town <3
I can't come up with names for my life. I always use the same name so sorry cx
 
I'm thinking of resetting my town. I haven't touched the game in months. I know I had the beautiful town thing active so there aren't any weeds and my inventory is seriously packed with stuff. I don't remember who is in my town or what.

I think there is a trick where you set your time to when you last played. I don't remember if it's your in game clock on 3ds clock. And then when you go to your town I think nothing has changed. Don't take my word for it though.

Do you like your town? Did you put lots of time into it? Do you still like the layout, villagers?
 
I did put some work into it but not much of the lay out. I just worked around the people moving in and out. I don't remember the last time I played either. I just know that my inventory was packed with stuff that I tried adding more players into my town to hold stuff.

I'd say reset. It doesn't seem you've put too much time in.
Though, if you can bother to clean all your stuff up and everything then go for it, but I personally wouldn't.

Good luck ~
 
I'm personally wondering if I should reset my town as well :/ I only started the game on the 5th of this month and got the perfect town/etc. but I'm really starting to dislike the layout of my town. The river goes across the map and has a U shape in the middle - no matter where I place a bridge it still seems weird. hrmmrmrmmmmrm..
 
I've been thinking about resetting my main town for ages now.
The town layout is awful, and it feels so much smaller compared to other maps.
But I have an attachment to the town, I've had it since the day of release, it's like home.
I'm really not sure what to do :(

mmm do you REALLY dislike your town layout? do you think you'll still come to 'like' your town if you stick with the layout

I had the same feeling a while back. My town seems small compared to others. But that's the mistake: don't compare your town to anyone else's town. If you have an attachment, maybe you're better off keeping it. Maybe you don't find a better one resetting and you'll regret it.

In my opinion, any town can look beautiful with patience and love. That's what I'm doing: I erased all paths and destroyed every PWP, and cut down every tree. Now my town map isn't looking as awful anymore.

I'm conflicted on whether or not to reset my town :c a few reasons are: I dislike all but 3/8 of my villagers (I have Flora, Mira, and Portia who I like but really only Flora so much, the rest are Camofrog, Flip, Jambette, Simon, and Tex). As well as this I have four ponds (I like less), and I have TT'd so much~which on one hand is nice because my town is more developed in terms of its shops, but on the other hand it feels less worked for/genuine for me personally somehow seeing as I have created it up to this point in maybe four days. Also I accidentally chose the wrong face than what I had intended for my Mayor, but the one I have I like just not what I planned. But there are things I like about my town as well-the shops unocked, the Recycle store is so close to the dock, the map other than ponds. I keep telling myself my villagers are temporary, but I don't know what with the other reasons :c I also love the furniture in my house and am not sure I could replicate it exactly how I want it~and have some QR codes I forgot the link to. Any thoughts-sorry for the long post! ;3; side note: I have to game cards but I intend to use one as a cycling town, so I don't know..

~I also like my native fruit and some little things no one really bothers with like the grass pattern

I'd say reset. You can hold flora and any other villagers you want to keep in your cycling town while you reset you can also dump all your furniture and stuff too. good luck!

Thanks so much for this advice! I deleted many of PWPs, changed the location of all my bridges, rearranged my paths and my town already looks bigger/so much better.
