In New Leaf, I've never really made my town look pretty and stuff. My sister is the mayor and she basically gave up on the game half the time. I feel if I was the mayor in the beginning, I would've been a lot more motivated to actually do PWPs, place down paths and plant lots of flowers, trees and bushes. I'm hoping this new animal crossing is the one
when i first played new leaf, i knew absolutely nothing. i didn't know you could reset for different layouts, starting villagers, fruit, etc. i'm not going to restart the town i have now in new leaf because there are too many memories in it, and i put a lot of effort into making it the way it is now, so i'll use my switch town to reset for things i might want, like native cherries (which are my favorite of the main fruits).
so basically, the opposite of the first post haha...i probably won't be a mega perfectionist about it though. i care mostly about the fruits. and i'll make sure to look at all the maps this time. (in new leaf i chose the second map as soon as i saw it because i was afraid if i said no too many times i wouldn't be able to play the game or something? idk it was 4 years ago)
i?m so excited to have a game like this because i used to be so worried about my towns looking perfect and getting certain villagers and now i really want to play a game from yhe start organically. when it releases, there won?t be any game guides out and i can wait to discover things for myself instead of looking stuff up and already knowing about a lot of things.
Getting new leaf was a surprise becouse I barely knew anything about the series.
And I will not make the same mistakes like thinking the first map they show you is your town wether you like it or not
I really want to start making my own original paths/designs. Everyone usually ends up with the same or similar ones and it made my town feel less unique. Any time I saw someone else with the same path but better landscaping/themes I'd get discouraged from using it. If I have my own maybe it wont discourage me and make me want to reset my towns so much!
I'm definitely going back to my old-school style of playing. Back when NL first came out, I made friends with all of my villagers, even if I didn't like them, displayed random items in my house, earned Bells without the island, and just had a jolly good time. Then, when I had multiple copies of NL, I started to get stressed and even turned to hacking for a short period of time. I definitely want to be nice and chill for AC Switch.
I feel the same, I focused wayyy too much on making my town perfect. This time around I'm never deleting my town, I'll keep my original save file. That's something I regret doing so much with NL
