now please I will accept the money-payment
I've had my town, Stardust, since July 18, the day that I first got the game for my birthday, and it was a town I never reset, because of nostalgic villagers I got that I remembered having in my Wild World. Those few starter villagers (Samson, Agent S, and Anchovy) were the reason I didn't want to reset again, and also the one and only reason I have dreamies. So Stardust was the town I got on my first startup of the game, and to this day it's a town I'm extremely proud of. I've had pretty good luck in Stardust, like finding popular villagers in my campsite so I could give them to someone else when they move away, but my luck is beginning to run out.
Now I've had a total of 3 unplanned move-ins; two were because I forgot to save and quit before 6 AM. The third one happened today. I had 9 villagers, and the game gave me an unexpected move-in today by Monty. I've never had this happen before, neither have I gone to another town in the past few days, so I'm stricken with shock and despair.
Usually I try to make the paths work around villagers (like I've done with the other two who landed their butts in hopeless places) but I don't want to fix this one. It just can't be made better in any way. I know I can fix it, but it'll never look as good. And the game is just going to try to make him stay as long as possible anyway.
If this is what normally happens, then why should I have to make a new character every single day just to make sure no one moves in on a bad spot? It doesn't make sense. It's cruel and unfair. It makes me wonder why Nintendo invented ground paths if they know full well that a villager could ruin it at any time?
I've done so much to my town and I'll be sad when I reset it. All the trees and bushes I planted, all my PWPs and patterns, the villagers I care about, they'll all be gone. Everything I've put my time and effort into since I picked the game up 7 months ago, every day I played to make and keep it beautiful, it'll just disappear. Unlike most people who reset, I love my town, but if my game is going to give me joy and pleasure and then months later make me sad and angry, it might as well make me sad and angry first, THEN give me joy and pleasure.
Furthermore, I've agreed to give someone Wolfgang when he moves out and I don't want to break that promise by resetting. Wolfgang's been so good to me and it hurts to see him voided, along with all the villagers I've gotten to know and love over the half-year I've been playing. I don't know how long it'll take to make a town as memorable as Stardust was to me, but the game is instilling the philosophy that towns are only meant to be good for the first few months you play them; then it only goes down from there.
I'm being a bit more whiny about this than usual, I know, but at this point my game seems to want to screw me over even more than it has. And besides, some people reset because the grass isn't the right shape.
So, the obvious question: is resetting a good idea? Is resetting, after 7 months of hard work and extreme dedication, even worth it, over villagers being absolutely careless about their house plots?
