The Resetting Thread

[Improv]

I got a good map and everything, and then I made the jump from August to the current date and nothing feels the same in the town as it did before. The villagers are all hideous creatures, I know they'll move out eventually but that takes forever to move an entire village out. I'm never time traveling again ffs.

edit: decided to once again reset, and I came across a map that had every thing I was looking for plus great villagers on the first train ride.

Aw, congrats! What villagers were there?

Skye, Bree, Kody, Cranston (I think, it was one of the white ostriches), and Rasher (who I'm not fond of, but he's nice). Bree isn't my first choice Snooty, but she's probably the only mouse character that I like. Skye is one of my favorites. Haven't had time to check out Kody or Cranston.

Blue station, star snow/circle grass, peaches, and the reddish colored town hall - everything I wanted. The layout is actually really nice, and the villagers houses are in great spots.

The only bad thing about starting out today, is that I can't get any advice from Isabelle at the town hall so I won't be getting the tools that I need or the foreign fruit that I need.

Yay! I do like Skye, too. Also, I like Kody, Bree and Cranston.
I'm glad you got what you like!
I have circle grass/star snow, and it's one of my favourites.
I have some perfect cherries, oranges, pears, normal cherries, lemons and lychees.
If you'd like some of my fruit, let me know.

Now that certainly makes me want to reset, but also congrats to you!

I'm being very indecisive over this. My current town is behind by a couple of months so I have a lot of catching up to do, but I don't want to make big jumps with TTing. I'd just TT one day at a time, completing my chores for each day... but that will take a long time and I doubt that I would ever catch up. But of course, I do have some of my dreamies in this current town. I may be able to get someone to hold one or two of them, and I could always save items... but then I've got a lot of work to do, I have to fill up the encyclopedias again, I'll have to re-earn my badges, and my town is obviously going to start off with the very basics. But of course, I'll be right where I want to be, and I'll try to avoid TTing as much as I can so I don't fall behind. Although in saying that, it would be tempting to set the date to the 14th of June so that my TPC will show it, considering that's when I got the game, and then I would TT to catch up to where I am now without worrying about the effort I had already put in going to waste.

I really don't know what to do. I could try TTing to catch up and making my current town work, but I just don't know if I can do it.

I'm the same way, wanting my TPC to have June 14th on it. But I didn't do it this time, because every other time I got tired of going day-by-day to reach the current date and made a huge jump. After the huge jump, absolutely nothing feels the same anymore. I would say go ahead and restart, only having someone hold things you cannot live without. Starting over is a breath of fresh air (but hey, I've spent over two months resetting in total. Of course I would say reset).

Yes, I figured I wouldn't really do that. It'd be nice but I don't think all of that would be worth it. I was doing the day-by-day thing in this town and I just got bored, and left it... so it just got worse. I'm just worried about being stuck in a resetting loop. I've already reset a few times in the past, and my biggest fear with this is, even if I get my items stored, and I use the villager reset trick once I have my town to get me 2 or 3 of my dreamies off the bat... my town is going to be very basic, and I'm not going to have much to do, besides catching everything I need to for the month. I'm just afraid that will annoy me and I'll want to reset again or something.

Not to mention it could take hours, days, or even weeks to get the town layout I want, with all of the other specific details...

True, it took me a solid week of resetting before I got my town before this...only to be wrecked by a huge time travel jump. You may get lucky like I did and find something you'll absolutely go crazy about. I am one that used to worry about getting stuck in the resetting loop. I've never had a town more than a month in this game, crazy huh. Hopefully that is fixed with this town. In City Folk, the reason I stopped playing is because I kept resetting and I never found a town that I liked so I just let the game go. I was so, so, so afraid this was going to happen to me after I started resetting nearly every month.

Another reason why part of me doesn't want to reset. If I do, but then get bored of my town after a month... I'm going to regret resetting so badly all over and be stuck in that situation once again. It's a question of whether or not to risk it, and which option is the better one.

 

[Bear_Crossing]

I'm starting to ponder whether I should reset, now.
Yesterday, I just felt bored with my game. Same routines, no Gracie showing up, it has got boring. I've not even had my town for 2 months!
But I have my little Merengue in my town. Stitches, Zucker, Apple. I really don't want to leave them D:
I was thinking of getting a second copy.
I don't know. I really want a town where I didn't buy loads of stuff off of the trading boards.
But then I'll look back at all my pictures on the camera and I'll be upset.

 

[Bear_Crossing]

Also, I'm starting to hate my town map.

 

[JellyBeans]

I think you should reset, Bear_Crossing. I know you have some great villagers (Merengue, Stitches) but either you could get people to hold them or just stalk some of the many, many cycling threads. Any items you absolutely cannot live without, get someone to hold them for you.

If you don't like your town map, well, your town map will never change, so you'll be stuck with that horrid layout for as long as you keep that town. Well, I suppose you can try to work round it, but you'll never be 100% happy with it, will you? Reset. Reset now, when you haven't got all the villagers you like, lots of badges etc. Reset while you still have a little way to go with the game.

I'll probably give away some of the rares I have and ask someone to hold my 7-11 set or something.
I'm still thinking about it though. Maybe getting a second copy.
I might even cycle villagers out and give them to other users. I just really love Merengue.

 

[JellyBeans]

I'm starting to regret my house placement. I wanted a garden but all I can fit is a few flowers. I'm even getting annoyed with my layout. I can't fit in my cafe :c

You could reset for Merengue as one of your starter villagers
im going to reset for Vesta when i start a new town

(3 days until my mum gets her town woo! and i move in )

Ugh, me too. My house placement is really inconvenient. D: I wanted to put hybrids in front of my house, but they keep dying because I live near the cliff.
Also, my cafe is in a pretty rubbish place.
In the end, I'll probably reset. I don't like the side of my beach, (right side).
My layout is also very inconvenient for putting big projects in without it looking bad. If I do reset, it'll either be later today or Christmas Eve, or even Christmas.
I'm still not sure.
I have the money to buy another copy of the game, but I sure will miss Merengue. I don't know, I can probably make new friends in a new town.

:V Well, you could look at your own response right here, to be honest.

Reset now, when you haven't got all the villagers you like, lots of badges etc. Reset while you still have a little way to go with the game.

Though if you've achieved your dreamies, and depending on how much work you've put into it, I'd say that you should try and live with it and make it work. Is there nowhere else you could put the caf?? Your post was sound advice, though. I think I may reset for sure after reading that. I've got a few dreamies but that's it. I don't have many upgrades or badges, and parts of the layout annoy me so... time to get someone to hold onto my items, although I'd either need someone who has 10 villagers, or I'll have to visit someone who has 10 first, and then get someone to hold onto my items so I don't pass on my voided villager. :/

Edit: Speaking of house placement, mine was nearly perfect. It's in a great spot, I just wish the land to the right of it was one square longer, or the land to the left was one square shorter, and I wish I could move my house one square back. It would be perfect besides that - plenty of space for trees, flowers, and certainly enough space for a path!

 

[JellyBeans]

Aha outsmarted by my own genius xP I'll just move my park somewhere else. yeah ;D

- - - Post Merge - - -

But the same villagers gets stale. Meh I'll live with it for now I'll probably neglect AC after a while as I'm so busy ;o

I'm sure you saw my house placement yesterday, and how much I regret it. I'm going to keep it though, actually not sure what possessed me to place it there (as that's usually where I would put my campsite), but every time I leave my house all I hear is the waterfall roaring.

 

[JellyBeans]

I'm just hoping I get another copy of AC for christmas

I mean, what possessed me to put it where it is? (the yellow house)
