I am having some trouble too. I’ve reset several times and then I was entertained for a few days, then abandoned town for months, and when I open it I feel no connection to it at all. Or the villagers bother me, or some rocks or the map in general...
Today I’ve decided to delete town, start from scratch, no map resetting and just go along with it.
And I’ve started making a blog about it. I’m making my own background story with it. I’ve been on it for more than an hour now, writing and playing as I go and I’ve just planted the town tree
And I already feel more connected to the map and Isabelle now.
I might publish the blog later, maybe tomorrow, somewhere on the forum.
