The Resetting Thread

Yeeah I definitely think I'm going to reset.
Again. = n =
All of my cons are mostly just things like "re-unlocking stores" "loss of museum storage for a while" "losing badges/encyclopedia" "brother bugging me about dumping my things in his town while i reset for the 5th time" (eheheh whoops), which tbh can be easily made up since I'm going back a month or two and slowly TT-ing forward.

My only con that really bothers me is the unorderable sets I want to catalogue because I'm becoming a completionist in regards to the catalogue, except I have so many in addition to things I genuinely want in my new house it'd take forever to transfer, only to just store them in my letters... :\

Gonna work on getting the golden can, gaining more bells to fund my new town, and then I think I'm gonna go for it.
 
My pros to resetting:
-Get my ideal map
-Can learn from my mistakes from my old town
-Can plan ahead what my new town would look like (like where to put the Cafe)
-Can have someone hold onto my stuff
-Can get my dreamies back (although it'll take a long time)
-Can use the tricks I didn't know about until later (like the plot reset trick)

My cons to resetting:
-Lose all my villagers
-Lose encyclopedia stuff
-Lose museum stuff
-Lose house progress
-Lose shops
-Lose HHA Houses

And also, it's hard saying goodbye to all of my good friends, (my animals) and tossing away eight months of town progress. It's just hard for me to say goodbye to my villagers... I don't know why. And if I wanted someone to hold onto them, it'd be very tedious to get them to move out and finding someone to hold onto them.

Also, I really do not like my town layout and if I want to get a second copy, I would want to be a cycler.

And another pro is that I can get Mira and Aurora back (due to them leaving because of TT accidents). I remember that the evil horse Elmer had made me get rid of Aurora... :(
 
I've been tempted to reset Majula, I don't know why. It's my main town but I'm starting to prefer Starfall and it seems weird to prefer my second town to my first.
I'm tempted to reset Starfall because I don't like the name, but Gladys is moving in tomorrow and I'd have to move her out, I can't be bothered with that so I probably won't reset but ehhhh.

Hopefully they'll both grow on me more. And neither one has oranges, which I'm a bit miffed at.
 
ghghhHH thinkin about resetting maybe i guess?????
immm suddenly rly angry at my idiotic placement of the police station and the fact that its modern instead of classic (copper's cuter than whatshisface) and my town fruit is oranges which is ehhhhhhh i wanted peaches
and im probs just gonna hate it even more as i progress with my town tbh

but im gonna have to get someone to hold aaaaall my **** cause im too broke for a second copy
and ive got 4 top tier villagers and im p sure my friends cant hold those whwhwhhHHH
andddd im gonna have to re-unlock everything and thEN im probably gonna spend like 9248739 days resetting for the perfect combination cause i'm a hella perfectionist

idek i just dont wanna risk losing my dreamies
 
I'm resetting only until I get all of my dreamies. Once that's done, I'll no longer have any reason to.
 
How far into the game was everybody when they reset? I don't love my town layout, I forgot to capitalize my Mayor's name which bugs me, blah blah blah. I can hold all of my things in my sisters town so I can get them back right away, but what's really making me hesitate is that I have 5 of my dreamies, a ton of shops on main street, and my encyclopedia is nearly complete. Maybe I could find people to hold my dreamies, TT them out, and get them back once they ping the person? What do you think? I am holding a villager for someone right now so I have time to decide.

If the only things that make you want to not reset are things you can get back, then get someone to hold your stuff and go for it!

I'm for sure going to reset, the plot is too messy for me to handle. I'm just worried about the dreamie situation.
 
Ok my town of Parhaol!

image.jpg
Villagers: Joey, Soleil, Flora, Static and Tank (he's growing on me) And Peaches moving in tomorrow (we share the same birthday)
Grass: circle!
Fruit: Peaches
And I have lots of space in this map so yay. Hoping to keep it <3

Yeah, get people to hold villagers. A trusted cycler is best. I could hold a few if you like.
 
Oh man I think I'm definitely resetting now - I have two good town names I'm really excited to use. :D
Just need to wait until I get the gold watering can + can collect more saplings, bamboo, and bush starts, then I think I'll reset.

I feel the same way, haha. I've decided to give Animal Crossing up until I hit my summer vacation. I won't have much time for it then, either, but still it'll give me a nice break from the game & maybe I'll come back to it with new eyes.
 
So, here I am, once again, disappointed in my town layout. I tricked myself into thinking it was perfect because the map looked nice, but really, I have no space at all.

Not only being disappointed in my layout, I'm also disappointed I didn't start on June 9th and time travel back to the present. I'm still unsure if I really want to restart on June 9th, but it'll probably bug me more if I start in April.
Luckily, I haven't got T&T Emporium yet, so I won't be wasting 4 fashion checks by resetting, and I also haven't got many bugs or fish. That's my main reason for wanting to start in June. I really don't know if I want to reset again or not. The layout isn't that bad, but I'm coming to terms with the fact that I won't have space for many projects. Can someone help me out

I'M SO JEALOUS!!!! I've been looking for this layout for AGES! D:

Can someone give me advice? I'm resetting for my horror town and I want it to have a sequence so that the visitor sees everything in the right order... I wanted a private beach too (it was a must) ~ ANYWAY... I've come across a town which I think might be just as good or better than the one I was looking for in the first place... I want to be 100% sure first so will someone tell me what they think?

I'm just gonna go cold turkey. My town is as close to perfection a town will ever get IMO.
I am simply going to pretend I can't reset, and take out all my resetting urges on my Japanese copy of AC:Wild world that just came in the mail today! I can't wait to play it ^-^, but I want Wolfgang plot resetting done first
 
I'm considering resetting!! There is nothing in my town that I can do at this point, my mortgage is all paid off, nearly got everything in Main Street, public works are all complete... I basically just run around for 10 minutes doing nothing then get off the game. Is this a sign that I should reset? I am super bored and I don't want to be because it is such a fun game when you have tasks to do but when you don't in my opinion it is a bore. I also hate my map (it's a bit boring) and my house placement isn't very ideal and I don't have a private beach. I need some excitement and the only way to do that is resetting. I'm also not very find of my villagers except for apple and Julian which I'll be sad to see go but I'm sure I can get them back!! Well now that I've ranted for quite a bit I'm gonna see what you all say about it. I'll be resetting THIS coming Saturday so please reply quick!!
Thanks

You should defiantly reset. I wish you luck in your new town!
 
Currently struggling on whether or not to reset....


I mean, with the exception of Gracie furniture sets I have every item I want, like the look of my character (but still think I wanna change it up), have a lot of flowers...idk.

I seriously, REAAAAAAAALLY hate my town map. The layout, the rocks and over abundance of ponds are literally in THE most inconvenient places, aaaaapnd my house is in an ugly spot. I need three more fossils in my museum but all the other stuff is empty. I just...I don't know.

I am just REALLY upset with all of those thigs and I don't know if I should just suck it up and keep playing, or reset. I might regret it. I've spent a long time (and I'm not even done yet) obtaining shrubs to lay around my town (i only use hydraengas so I've missed a couple days).

Blah D:


The struggle is real...

well... i reset again, heh... (・・。)ゞ

honestly, i'm thinking about just completely giving up trying to find the "perfect" town, and maybe try to play the game most people play it, just dive right in. i was also thinking of just giving AC for a while... maybe until summer? idk... any advice?

I'm not playing until summer, and it's already April, so if you want to wait until summer you won't have to wait very long. Not nearly as long as I did. =n=
 
Question: if I were to reset my town, what would happen to the street pass homes? I have a lot that I want to keep (Nintendo ones!)
