Hello! Is anyone thinking of starting a new town on January 1st 2018? I think I might ~
I enjoy having the chance of a new start, and I would love to start a new town. I have been in the reset void for the last two years...but I hope that this time I will appreciate the town I create and will commit to it...without deleting it within six months.
I might put in some goals as part of my 1/1 Challenge on New Leaf (the challenge has that name because I am starting on the 1st January, as known on the calendar date as 1/1) New Leaf, like any game, is much more enjoyable when it isn't rushed.
Here are some of the goals I have set for myself, for the 1/1 Challenge:
I'm thinking of scanning some of my amiibo cards into my new town, as I haven't used them much apart from helping others getting the villagers that they want. Amiibo card villagers take longer to move out, so I won't have to worry as much if I become best friends with them, as the villagers will be in my town for longer.
I always struggle with town names, so I will think of what I would want to call my new town. I am not so fussy with native fruit, as long as it isn't pear (which is my 1st town's native fruit.) The town map layout is where I get picky, I am going to try and not act this way when I create my new town on Monday.
My new town will be created on my second cartridge. I also deleted my town on my digital cartridge, but creating two new towns would definitely not be wise for me haha. (My 1st town is on my 1st physical cartridge...I should probably visit it and clean it up, with my whole written speech of creating and caring for a new town haha! )
Is anyone else thinking of doing this? I guess it isn't really a challenge but I have created it as one for myself, because I would love to get back into the game!
Post if you are doing this in the New Year and if you have any rules you think you should follow!
I will update this thread (or maybe my blog instead, it seems more fitting for that...) of what my new town is like and how I am getting on with it. Maybe another goal I could have is, keeping a log of how my town is going...hm
Thanks for reading!
Good luck if you are thinking of starting a new town! ~

I might put in some goals as part of my 1/1 Challenge on New Leaf (the challenge has that name because I am starting on the 1st January, as known on the calendar date as 1/1) New Leaf, like any game, is much more enjoyable when it isn't rushed.
Here are some of the goals I have set for myself, for the 1/1 Challenge:
- Don't force playing the game into my schedule, play it when it comes into my mind, when I really want to in my free time.
- A little a day is fine - which means that I shouldn't rush to unlock everything, play the game for a couple of hours then come off. There is always another day and plenty to do on the game. Taking it at a slow pace will help make my experience more enjoyable.
- Resist the urge to time-travel! I have time-travelled so much on all the games, I'm not even ashamed to confess it anymore. Although I can't promise to not TT in my new town, I am still going try and play the game normally. (Wish me luck with that...lol)
- Trying and bond with the villagers - I haven't written to villagers in months, which is one of my favourite activities to do on the game, since I started playing Animal Crossing: Wild World. I hope to write and communicate with the villagers more often in my new town. I hope to make best friends with some of them as well.
- Don't make promises with this new town - There is a chance that I will keep this going for a while and gradually I will give up. I hope this won't happen, but I have a feeling that it might. If it does, I shouldn't delete my town and create a new town if not I will be falling back into the reset void. (Please no more of that!)
- Think before I plot PWPs! - I have plotted many Public Work Projects in my first town and then removed them after a short period. This time I should think a little more carefully of where the PWPs could go.
- No transferring items from my 1st town! - I'm starting from scratch, because collecting and unlocking things in the game yourself, creates a greater sense of achievement! To me anyway!
