NO RESETTIN'!
I would restart if you're bored and don't like those permanent placements. A new town can be so exciting. The TBT to IGB exchange is 25tbt=5 mil
The only problem I have is re-donating to the museum. But meh.

I've been mentally debating for the past couple of hours if I should buy a new copy or reset. I never play my existing copy, but I love my villagers (I have both my favourites: Lobo and Tia) and I've had my town since June 2013.

I can't decide if I want to restart my old town... I would definitely get someone to hold all my stuff while I start over, but I don't know if I want to since I'm planning on getting a new game card anyway.

I have the Amiibo cards for both... if you want to restart your town I could probably work them both into my towns from the cards and just give them to you since I don't particularly want either.

Just sharing my experience:
I updated my digital town, then decided to reset my digital copy yesterday after I got the update. I had wanted to reset before the update but it seemed fun and fresh after I saw all the features.
So far I am not a fan of most maps after the update. The campground placement can be absolutely terrible.
So many ponds, Re-Tail pond or regular pond - right in from of the campground ramp.
More rocks - about 5 more random rocks beyond the standards you know - Town Hall, Train Station, ponds, etc.
I reset all day yesterday, found a map that was ok but the campground was awkward compared to the river.
I reset again. Better to reset in 24 hours than in 24 months.
And if you find a good map before I do, I commend you!
If you love your map now...remember you can change your villagers with Amiibo (your cards or trading on the boards here) but the map is forever! (Unless you reset)

Seriously thinking about resetting now. I barely play the game anymore since there's really nothing more to do. Hamphrey crashed my town, the campground placement is right next to Savannah's house and I miss my old dreamies Muffy, Agnes, Rory and Moose.
Problem is getting a good map (as HHoney pointed out) and the fact that I've had Skullbay since June 2013.

Wow - YOU are thinking about resetting?!
I visited your dream address just a few days before the update.
Skullbay has been a great town. But 2016 has been a crazy wild year.
Maybe it's time to shake things up a bit.
After all Nook should give you BELLLLLLLS considering how developed your town is.
I would so love to know what Nook thinks your town is worth!

I'm still resetting but I have noticed the rocks aren't as bad in every town. Just some of the maps definitely have more rocks but I found one that had only two more rocks than usual. Not bad!

I'm considering it myself with this new update - Starfall's really developed though, so I don't know if I want to D: I'd have to unlock Brewster's and everything else all over again.. ;;

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, it's difficult but maybe it's what I need to get back into the game. It'd be interresting to see Nook's evaluation. lol
Oh, do you still get to reset for a map if you sell your town?
I am about to reset my oldest town, but I need to clean up first so I have not confirmed this personally...
But people online are saying that if you choose to "keep your catalog" your catalog includes most PWPs!
Apparently you still have to unlock Brewster, Katrina, Resetti in the usual ways but any PWPs unlocked by villagers (including the police station!) are unlocked to you after you reset!
Another thing about resetting after selling to Nook-
When you accept selling to Nook choose the option that you want to rebuild right away. It will take you to Rover and he gives you the option of 4 maps. If you do not like any of the four maps, exit without saving and load your town again. You have to re-sell your town to Nook and start the process over until you like your map.
These steps are for those who want to keep their catalog.
*****All of these steps are new to us - proceed with caution!!!*****

I assume you can't keep your villagers though, right?

That would be so nice!
No problem, Just let me know^-^ I have school and work so I don't have a ton of time but I'm more than happy to help.
Flare21 I feel you so much. It happened to me to spend months resetting to find a "perfect" map, and that's one of the reason why I have several copies of the game : this way I can play and still try to work on a "perfect" town.
But to be honest on my main game, I just went "ok I'll take one on the first run" and it was almost always a nice one. Don't have too high expectations, AC can feel it and it won't help. AC can smell fear.

I think I'm going to reset with the new sell update & the fact that we can move in villagers with the amiibo cards. My layout always resulted in villagers moving right in front of my house :/ Now I'm going to create paths and stuff and order where they can be haha
I'm going to go to the past and do a little time travelling just to rebuild everything and then resume playing normally.

hahaha this is me! I've been doing it for 3 days! I've had some super close to perfect towns, but still searching!

Good luck with your new town <3
Remember to have fun and relax when playing once and a while!
