Hi all!
So I just bought a pre-owned DS off eBay and it arrived in the mail on Tuesday. Woo, for new stuff! Anyway, when I opened the box, there was the DS in all of its original packaging, and an unexpected surprise - another copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This will be my fifth copy of the game now (my friends insist I need an intervention, but since the last two copies landed in my lap unexpectedly, I've insisted that I definitely DO NOT need an intervention.)
Anyways! So I checked out the game card (expecting it to be blank) but to my surprise, there was still a file on there,
and it actually wasn't too bad! The town layout is actually really good, so either its former owner was really fussy,
or they were just really (really!) lucky. Also, the native fruit is peaches, which is different to the native fruit in my main town. The placement of the permanent PWPs and buildings is pretty good. It's a bit of a mess, but with some TLC and a bit of planning, this town has the potential to be awesome!
I don't love the town name and mayor name, (Ailsa of Treedom) but I also don't hate it. It's kind of cute. Most of the villagers are pretty lame which is good because they're plotted in weird spots.
So, here's my question. If another copy of ACNL landed mysteriously in your possession and there was already a save file on it, what would you do? Would you reset it? Would you keep it? Would you just resell it? I know a lot of your control-freak alter egos would probably kick in and go "the grass pattern is wrong!" or "ReTail is in a bad spot!"
or "the Mayor's face is ugly!" or whatever, but what would you do? I'm just interested.
