Bad/Frustrating game experience?

[tokkio]

What are your really bad/frustrating experiences while playing?

Mine was.. I spent days camp resetting for kabuki, and he didn't appear at all. Then I got a random streetpass move-in... and the villager moved in a really bad spot too. Then very next day, KABUKI WAS IN MY CAMP.. BUT MY TOWN WAS FULL........ i was so mad lol

Trying to get good campers by plot-ressetting sucks.

Last time I did it, Sprinkle moved out of my town without warning.

I spent a couple of days resetting my Main Town and got a layout I liked. I then managed to also get a dreamie and the fruit I wanted - cherries.

And then my nephew created a secondary character and planted his house right in front of my Train Station! Ack! I can't believe it! >_<

Still, I forgive him. I just have to run around that attractive nuisance every time I enter and leave my Main Street...

I hate camp resetting. I wanted Frita, but I got the villagers I didn't want. I eventually settled on Dizzy. He moved away in June, but I purposely made him leave so I could try to get Erik, but I wound up with Olaf.

Plot-resetting is agreed to be really frustrating. I unsuccessfully plot-resetted Goldie. It took me so long to plot-reset her that I restarted (my town was new anyway so I didn't really care).

It would hurt his feelings. He is at the age where he thinks he's helping and if I did that he'd be crushed. So...no. I can't.

I got a nice VM and you are right. I think I can reset, plot his house for him and let him "help" me with it and do it all in a better place than right in front of my Train Station.

I think I can handle it well enough to not hurt his feelings. He's such a sweet and sensitive kid. I just have to tell him that I also want square grass or something.

You could try subtly mentioning how cool it'd be to live in a different area. My little cousin is at the age where every suggestion I make is a great idea, so she's fairly easy to manipulate.

...in a nice way, of course.

I think my little Sam will be, too, as long as I'm nice about it. He was so happy to pick a spot and get his little tent and shabby mailbox... and then he got the 10,000 bells for the down payment of his house.

Well, I'll pay him the bells back and I think I will let him pick a new place. I'm looking at a possible keeper map right now and he may like being so close to the cool-looking waterfall. Maybe if I let him design the Camp Area he will also be happy that I "need" him for something. And I do, I guess. I love to see how happy this makes him. <3

I don't plot or camp reset so I don't really have those hours of wasted time to complain about, but also as someone who just tries to work with the cards I'm dealt, the housing gods realllly decided to mess with me when I adopted Chief. I loaded my game the next day praying he didn't pick a bad spot, but I was resigned to work around wherever he decided to move. There was really just one place that would have been an absolute nightmare. ONE. PLACE. And he chose it. I saw the 3x3 fenced off plot of dirt....right in front of Town Hall.

Aw man, that's bad. And here I was upset that Walker moved right NEXT to my Town Hall. In front would have been much worse. I'm so sorry for you. Ugh.

Nothing bad actually happened, but the other day Anchovy told me that Rosie was thinking about moving. But whenever I walked up to her, she would never ping! Even through saving and quitting and making sure she was the first villager I saw, she would not ping. I was close to her one time, and then Maple came out of nowhere and pinged me to tell me about a letter. I gave her a smack after that.

I did eventually get her to ping me and convince her to stay. So nothing bad did happen, but it certainly was frustrating.

I hear you there too, Lucky lives right next to Town Hall >A>;;

Oh, my! Heh... well, I suppose he can afford to be called "Lucky" while you cannot. I'm sorry that you have to deal with the same crud I am, but it's sort of comforting to know I'm not the only one with villagers loving to be so close to my office.

Buying a sapling, planting it in what you think is the perfect spot, only to have it die the next day.

 

[CaptainCrunch]

I made two towns, both towns had my favorite villager, Willow in it
I'm currently keeping the second town I created- I really want to reset but I've gotten so far I really don't wanna go through it all again haha!
But anyways I was stupid enough to TT her out of my town 2 times in a row haha ;;;

omg were you able to work around his house though?? or did you just cycle him out?

 

[tobi!]

When bad villagers don't request to move out or they do but then decide to stay anyway
GET OUT MAELLE.

I worked around it and still made the area around his house nice, but it's because of how I laid down my paths. I put ponds in front of town hall that were surrounded by a zen garden on either side, so now I guess Chief has the most elegant yard work down around his house. Well...he IS named Chief.

I'm not gonna cycle him out, I'm already doing the 16 villager cycle to get Julian back, I'd rather not do it a second time if I can help it. Besides, I have a personal sense of satisfaction with being able to make wherever the villagers move work somehow. Trust me it's been a challenge because they all are clustered on the left side of my map. The entire right side is completely barren. And I have this sinking feeling when I finally do get Julian back he's going to be the one oddball that isolates himself like a rebel.

yeah plot-resetting a villager's house is a very tedious work! i sometimes get too lazy to plot reset and just work around wherever they plot their house too. thats why i really it when towns have random house placements, but the mayor was able to still make it work. you can really see how creative they got with landscaping their town lol

goodluck with your cycling and landscaping though!!
