The Resetting Thread

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.
I can hold your stuff for you.
 
I want to reset so badly just because I don't really like my town name. I want a name that has something to do with food. Any suggestions? XD
 
Today I thought about resetting just so the date on my ID would be June 9th like when I first got my game.
(most idiotic reason ever)

TTing in general ruins the game for me and I TT'd to get my dreamies.
Villagers don't even matter to me anymore. So I would just want Jambette and a decent layout.
I don't care about native fruit, starters, grass pattern, etc...

Since I have dreamies it makes me feel obligated to play.
I'd play everyday anyways but I hate feeling like I have to because OH NO SOMEONE MIGHT MOVE.
It ruins the fun for me and I am finally realizing it. So what if Boone moves? He is just a jock like any other.

Should I really restart or not?

If so, which town name is better? Macaroni or Nashira?

No, no I feel the same way about having June 9th on my ID card. I just restarted twenty minutes ago, still going through the maps, but I'm worried about not being able to get the entire Santa outfit for Toy Day. I had a good layout but I, too, time traveled to get half of my dream villager list which made me hate my town because now you're stuck with the same villagers forever unless you sacrifice one.

I'd say reset if you're unhappy. Just don't give in to a town that doesn't have what you're looking for (don't take a bad map for Jambette, don't take a good map without Jambette). I take a map that I think I can work with and end up hating it very soon.

What I'd say about your villagers is only keep a couple dream villagers.
I know there may be tons of villagers you'd like, (Lolly, Tia, Ankha and Stitches come to mind for me), but having villagers
that are like rivals to you may add some more incentive to the game.
I have a couple dream villagers in my town, (Merengue, Zucker and Apple) and hopefully I'll get Flurry and Hamphrey soon, but that'll be it. I'd like a town where some villagers are free to move out and travel the world, but some I'd love to keep
and continue being great friends with them.

Also, I reset in October, and I had a real problem with resetting. I found a town layout that was OK.
I've grown to love it. also because merengue was a starter
I really wanted my ID card date to be on June 14th, but that would've been too much trouble for me. I also don't TT.
The ID card isn't a big feature in this game, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Just my opinion and advice. :)
Good luck on resetting!

I like Macaroni xD

Thank you! I think I am gonna do it then. What I meant about Jambette is that I would move her in from someone else probably.
The chances of finding a good map and her as a starter is really slim. hah
 
Deciding i'm going to move my character over to my mum's town when she gets it at christmas.. then delete my town :( (since i dont have the time) and make a new town in the summer :)
Means i can dip in and out of animal crossing etc with no worries of villagers due to it being my mums town
 
I feel like I should reset because I'm just unhappy with the layout of my town. Nothing flows, and it's making me sad. I feel like I've put so much work into this town though, so it's hard for me to decide right now. Ugh.

Once I start to dislike a town, everything starts to annoy me more and more until I reset. I still haven't found a town from this morning D: but I intend to reset for weeks until I get a good map.
 
I resetted a little more than a week ago after realizing that there were so many things I could be doing better. The one thing I regret about resetting is that I really missed some of my previous villagers. I was really upset when I couldn't find them again. I'm happy that I met my new villagers now, though; I wouldn't have known about their existence if I hadn't developed a new interest in making a better town.
 
Part of me just wants to reset my town. When I made my first town I was so happy and excited and I loved my villagers, but I got stuck with a face I could not stand. In my second town I hated my villagers so much and I kept getting dreadful villagers so I started TT them out. TT just ruined the game for me. Part of me wants to reset, but the other part of me feels like buying a second copy and turning my current game into a cycling town. What do you guys think?

This thought just occurred to me as I was reading your post. I'll most likely go with that option, and I could probably go pick up a new copy today. Oh man this makes me happy.

Yeah! I just decided to go ahead and do it. I already ordered the game and I'm so excited!
 
You guys will never find a perfect town, there is no such thing! I'm sure you all thought your current towns were perfect once too, but now they're not. The same thing will happen again. It's a trap! Just focus on the good about your town and learn to work with its quirks to make it unique. A lot of nice dream towns I visit have maps that I'd never choose, but they made them work.

This is basically why I want to get a second copy of the game, although part of me still feels like it may be a waste of money. Any town I've seen that I thought was perfect, which includes my very first town, ended up annoying me in one way or another, then it just kept building up. I do wish I kept at it and made it work though, because I knew I'd get into a resetting loop and I'm now trying to get out of it by focusing on the good aspects of my town.
 
I am going to restart a final time at 31 december. I want to to a 365 day challange with ONE town, just to see it grow.
