Why is plot resetting not really working?

[OMGem]

I have Lolly moving in and she keeps putting her house down in the same place. I keep resetting the game and sometimes even turning my DS fully off but its always the same spot! Sometimes a few inches of differences in placement but it's not going to any other areas it's really annoying me. I've been doing this for hours now ><

I think there is always a common spot a villager will plot their house. If it gets annoying then put a pwp on it, just remember where though. If you do so, there will always be another common spot a villager will plot their house.

time travel to the day before Lolly is supposed to move in and put down a PWP in the area she keeps trying to move into

There is a chance the plot will still be there, right?

When that happens I take a break and turn the power off.

I know that feeling. I hate when that happens D: but don't give up, have patience and she'll eventually move into the spot you want I wish you the the best of luck!

I plot reset Diana for like 4 days before I finally gave up and accepted that she was just one space off from where I wanted. I'll just have to redo the bushes. It can be frustrating, but I take plot resetting as a time to find out where to put PWPs so it doesn't happen again.

These pictures are my frustrations through plot resetting:



This is where Cheri kept plotting her house.



And this is where Kid Cat plots his house after I put a PWP where Cheri kept plotting her house.



This is where I wanted Kid Cat at, one space down!

I was thinking about going back a day and putting a PWP down at the spot she keeps trying to move in at, but I'm a bit nervous of there being a chance the plot will still be there! Then I'll be on my mayor so I wouldn't even be able to change it ;-;

Continue plot Resseting , when I had a villager 1 block away I continued because I want it perfect and so I wouldn't fuss about it in the future . But it's all about patience .

I just found it odd that after hours of doing this shes not moving ANYWHERE else on the map, just keeps going to the same spot consecutively.

There shouldn't be a fenced plot there. But if you're nervous just do this:
- TT back one day
- go in with a new character
- search the entire map if there is no plot and quit.
- delete that character.
- go in with your mayor and build a PWP.

When you say TT back do you mean with the actual 3DS clock and not the in-game clock? x3

I usually do it with the 3ds clock, just to be safe.

Is there still a chance you'll see the fenced plot?

If you go back to the day you invited a villager, then no. Check with a new character just to be safe; I have done this with Rosie if it makes you feel better.

Oh ok, i'll have to try that with Stitches or Marshal.

I've done it several times as well
