You should end your friendship with her immediately. She sounds like an awful friend. Seriously, stealing your game and then ruining it AND having the nerve to say she "made it better"? She will just continue to do stuff like this to you as time goes on, so you ahould end your friendship with her right now before she does something even worse.
If she wanted to "experiment" she should have done so with her own town. Honestly, it sounds like she was just jealous of your town so she purposefully wrecked it to hurt you.
^She said the following:
"?, I'm sorry for messing with ur town. I wanted to test hacks on ur game since ur town isn't fully developed like mine. After playing around, I decided to swap out villagers for ones that are popular on the bell tree site you're on from time to time. I have a copy of ur garden save file. I'll email u it and u can figure it out. (
she explains hacking here, which isn't allowed in the forums, and has been cut out. Not that u'd want to hack but if u do, it's there."
I am in no way saying I am promoting hacking or anything in anyway. I am saying she suggested it after being confronted about it, and about why she would do that. (I didn't confront her, my *other* friend did, after visiting my desert wasteland)

Really sorry that your "friend" did that to you. Most of us on here work really hard on our towns and know how awful something like that would be. She doesn't seem like a very good friend at all! I agree with what others have said as well. I've heard of hacked towns getting "corrupted " and stop working. Someone posted the other day that just scanning an Amiibo card ruined some aspect of his town. I'm sure there are lots of ways to fix it, but I'm sure you have to be skilled in that department to maintain it and make sure nothing like that happens. So you would be better off resetting and building the new town from scratch rather than trying to rebuild your current town from scratch. Just my opinion. Again I'm very sorry!!
While I did work hard (so much time breeding hybrids, lol), I feel having a blank canvas isn't the worst thing ever. The villagers will come and go (thank goodness she didn't replace ALL of them), and flowers can be re-bred, or bought.
I realise resetting would be best, but I want to see what, if anything, I can do before deleting all progress (museum-/encyclopedia-, catalogue- and badge-wise).
No need to be sorry, and thank you!

She has her own game correct? Did she also hack that one? Why couldn't she experiment on her own game and ruin it? Or better yet, why couldn't she buy an additional copy, seeing as it's only $20.
Her town is incredibly hacked (won't go into details, but yes, it was).
She said she wanted to play around with the editor but not at the expense of her save file.
Off topic but, it's only 20$ for you? It's like 30$ here (Yes, I know a 10$ difference isn't much, but still)

I agree. As long the damage isn't permanent nothing can't be fix in acnl ( i am talking about the legal one k). Villagers can be cycle back and tree can be plant, pwp can be remove and rebuild too as for the permanent 1, we will work a way out of if lol and there is so many people here are willing to help I have a cycle town btw!
Yea, there's no permanent damage (no plants or random items in the water, nothing out of reach, etc).
I'm currently in the process of building pwps, and time travelling (not ideal, but it's what I decided to do).
Thank you so much! ^-^ (Sorry this message is so choppy, I'm just sleepy xD)

Wait, how old is she? If she's 20 or something, that's very immature of her to do that since I've had 4 year-olds mess up my Wild World save file.
What I would suggest is to stop playing ACNL with her. If she still acts that pompous and condescending towards you outside of that game, I would end that friendship.
She's like, 19-ish.
Yea, that's going to be the last time I play NL with her, or even leave my DS alone when getting food or something.

On the bright side...
I was really struggling to find things to do with or for my town in terms of landscaping and PWP placement. Having the ponds removed (by her), rocks moved out of the way, and all flowers (lo rip ;-; ), trees, and patterns taken out, I have been given the chance to redo everything. So far, I've added white carnations as temporary paths (work in progress; I bred a ton of carnations because I was going to use them to decorate the town in a different way)
While the town
still doesn't have a theme, it does give me the opportunity to find one, or to convert it into a colour- or flower-town. OI'm not saying I'm
happy about this, but I'm not super
super angry either. Can't stay mad forever c:
