The Resetting Thread

OK. I'm going to TT to April Fools Day, just to get my villagers pics and it's a bit of fun. Then I'm going to reset. I may make a cycling town. I may just do random stuff. Or I might settle down and make a proper town. Not sure yet. Wish me luck :)

Good luck!
I hope everything works out in the end! :)
 
It only took me around 15 minutes to find Analasia!

I'm really happy. I had a nice town, Moonbeam, but reset it because I knew I could do better. And I did!

Great residents:
Daisy :)
Blaire :)
Poncho <3
Puddles :)
Cole (little creepy but I think I'll like him)

Circle grass!!
Cherries :D (wanted apples or cherries)
West Beach
South waterfall (my new fave things)
One pond
Great spot for my house
Open space :D

The only downside is there's a cherry tree right outside my door.. Can't wait for an axe!

All in all, a great reset that I'm very glad I did. I think I'll try to carry on with the one year challenge on this... But it'll be for slightly less than a year!

Edit: looking back on my map, I feel like an idiot for not putting my house in the other bend int eh river. Ah well. This means I can have a fountain in front of my house!

I'm pretty new to this trick, so I have a question if you don't mind. >//<
Lets say on the second day of your town you use the reset trick to find a dreamie, and you find your dreamie. Can you use it to reset their plot as well, without changing the villager? Or don't you have to deal with where they decide to plop their house down?

The thing is, it's random who will come up.

Let's say you start with your five. Then, with that "second day," you're dealing with three Personality categories left for Villagers Nos. 6, 7, and 8. The game will go with a random selection, one at a time, from those three Personality categories not yet represented among your first five listed villagers. For my new third town, my No. 6 is a Smug. My No. 7 is an Uchi. My No. 8 is a Lazy which, ironically, took the longest even though it was from that one category. (I went through 104 failed attempts before getting the one I wanted. By that point, I wasn't about to reject the location, which is actually okay.)

If your Dreamy (say it's the Smug Marshal) comes up, you can go ahead and decline to accept based on not liking the location of house plot. When you come out again with another following human character, it's likely a different villager will get offered up. Oh, it could be Marshal offered twice in a row. (I kept notes the whole time. And it does happen with some instances.) But there is a point in which you have to compromise and consider it good enough.

That control of the location of the house probably works more quickly after just adopting a new villager into your town. This is not the same. And it does make some sense. After all, one's town is new enough that you're not likely thinking too much of paths and trees. So there is a feeling of great satisfaction getting some great villagers right after your beginning five.
 
I reset 3 maps already and still the trick with the villager moving in doesn't work correctly. 3 logins with a fresh new character without saving later there still is no plot of land. I log out without saving again thinking its safe to log in with my mayor but NO SOME STUPID ANIMAL MOVES IN THE SECOND I LOG IN WITH MY MAYOR!!!

I quit I'm done resetting it's not worth the agravation trying to get my dreamies this way because I'm not going ever get them this way!

don't give up.
this is how you would do it :
complete the first day as mayor, then save and quit.
go to the wrench icon and go to settings there should be a button saying date/time or something, the date should be 1 day ahead of the previous date you had before changing it. [eg. 29th, skip 1 day forward with 3ds clock = 30th]

now, get on AC with a new save file. a plot should definitely come up and if not, i have no idea what's not working.
 
Wait, question about the things above ^
I have got a Jock (Sly) And a uchi (Mira) , will i get a random smug move in then?
 
Hm.. well any of the personalities left out should be the ones you next get.
I got 4 smugs on first try, then Marshal right after but I still had a few personalities left since I had just plot reset a Normal so maybe it's just random?

I didn't TT to do it, but I got on the next day and new person moved in as per the trick...the next 3 though refused to show up if using new account, but were there upon mayor logging in >_> I just gave up on trying anymore and figured it easier to just boot the ones I hate...beating Hans the gorilla over the head till he gets the frig out is preferable to rebooting again and losing my dear sweet Lolly cat, Tammy and Rizzo.

EDIT: Okay I'm not allowed to post because this post is too short?! FTBBQSauce?!
 
Not sure if I should reset or not :L I started playing new leaf a week or so after it came out but now I just have no time to play now and I haven't played in a long time. I visited today and there's quite a few weeds even though I had the beautiful ordinance, 2 of my dream villagers moved out and some random villager moved in the middle of my path. I have fully expanded my house, have most my dream villagers and have set out a path and have a crap load of hybrids. If I do reset I'll get someone to hold my stuff and 2 or 3 villagers for me~ I don't really like the layout of my town and my town name. I don't have a lot of PWP's, I just have stuff like the 2nd floor in the museum, dream suite, the cafe police station etc. I've unlocked most things as well. I just don't know if it's worth resetting or not because I have spend a lot of time on my town >_<

So to make it easier to read...
Why I want to reset
Two dreamies gone
Random villager moved in and I prefer not to TT so it probably won't move out until a while
Don't like layout
Don't like town name
Layout is kind of.. messy. Not really planned, have trees everywhere
Have lots of random junk (which I will probably give away)
Quite a few strongly disliked villagers

Why I don't want to reset
Have loads of stuff I want and might not find someone to hold it for me.
Fully expanded house
Unlocked a bunch of things
Spend a lot of time on my town

Soooo what do you think? Sorry about long post!

I reset just yesterday after considering. I hadn't been on for ages so villagers had moved out and there were weeds and stuff. I didn't want to reset at first, because of all my progress, but in the end I reset and tbh i'm really happy. Go for it if you're considering resetting.
