Starting up again after 2 years - tips ?

Well I'd first pick any weeds if some grew, kill any roaches if they appear, go to Shampoodle, and make an effort to talk to all of your villagers immediately. Maybe send them some letters to replenish the friendship you have with them. Then, get into town and start working like you never left. Buy new furniture, new clothing, go catch beetles, buy turnips, and participate in any AC:NL events. And if there are some villagers you aren't attached to, get them to move out and others to move in.

And you said two years? That means you just got the update, correct? Complete some of Harvey's initiatives and see who's at the RV ground.

If you didn't get a villager to ask you to move on the last day you played, set your 3DS calendar to that date. You can check when that was on your activity log. Then just time travel slowly until someone asks to move and you can say no. Then you can set the date to whatever you want (like today) without losing any of your villagers, if that's something you're worried about.

Go around your town and reintroduce yourself to everyone, of course. Pick weeds, get a refresher on what you were planning on doing that you didn't. Are there missing museum or shop items you want to collect? Decorations you've been meaning to add?

With the new update, there's also more stuff to catch up on and every day you get new challenges to earn coupons you can use to buy things from the campsite. That's a neat feature if you've been away and don't even knew where to begin.

That's so exciting! Do all those things and probably relandscape if your tastes have changed.

i actually had no idea there even was a new update! downloading it as we speak.

This page has pretty good info on the new update. Have fun!

Starting again huh? Well i know i guy who knows a guy, who knows another guy, who buy a game from another guy, which hear from another guy who start again.

It was a rainy day and everything was fine until a this guy find his Nintendo3DS with Animal Crossing New Leaf, the feeling coming through his body and the memories coming from a Town with lots of Animals create a smile in his face. Geez... Starting again? What if some of my Villagers left? What if... No, challenge accepted, i'm going to start again.

But seriously, i want to give you some advices about starting again.

-Check out if no one move out.

-Hybrid.
-Get the new WA Items.
-You can re-do things.
