Biggest ACNL mistake?

[KaydeeKrunk]

I always make so many mistakes that I can't take back in this game, in fact I make them all the time, weather it be running over my precious hybrids, or opening my gate to THE WRONG KIND OF PEOPLE! I'm honestly just glad this isn't Sims cause then I would be accidentally killing my villagers! >.<

In fact just the other day I VOIDED ROSIE! Completely forgetting she was tier one... luckily she showed up in my boyfriend's town so it didn't go as horribly as it could have...

What kind of things have you done (or not done) that you wish you could take back?

I gave away Bam for free when the game was new.

Now I want him again and it's going to take a thousand years to cycle to get him back.
Worst decision ever. I'm trying to think why didn't I want him. Makes 0 sense.

Selling the game the first time I had it. I was really depressed and stuff was happening, but now I've been doing better and at least I am getting a 100% fresh start.

Oh no! I once sold Elmer, which wasn't originally a dreamie but became one when I got to know him, I miss him so much. *hugs picture he gave me*

I kind of gave up on my game for a while, quite a few months I think, but I got back into it after joining this forum, and then I LOST MY GAME! Now, only after I bought a second game and have gotten pretty far in that one I finally found me old copy! Irony.

ME TOO! (Mine was a peach) I thought it was going to be like some kind of benefit to get from it because it was my first time playing and NOBODY TOLD ME of my friends! I was all like, "It doesn't seem like anything changed..." Bahaha!

Took forever to get a second one too!

Literally exactly what I did

It also took me way too long to realize I needed to get my fossils appraised before selling them to get more money.

Besides all my stupid reckless time traveling? I bought Bruce from someone, then told him it was okay when he wanted to move away, then bought him again, then went and bought a bunch of other dreamies all in the same night, only to find that they don't "queue up" but rather they overwrite one another. That was ultimately the decision that led me to reset my town, I think...

The game is especially great when depression is strong, I find. Granted I'm speaking from the point of view of someone with clinical depression (chronic blah blah blah) but it's one of the most stress-free games I've ever come across, and gives you little virtual things to accomplish when you can't bring yourself to do much else.

I feel this way about it too, seeing their cheery faces and doing my daily little chores gives me something to look forward to doing on my bad days.

"It may also be objected that my opening remark about the appealing character of Pyrrhonism is wrong or surprising, given that it is not possible for anyone to think that the stance I have presented is attractive and worth adopting. For instance, not only does the Skeptic not promise that the suspensive attitude will certainly make possible the attainment of ataraxia, but he does not even regard this as an aim that is intrinsic to his philosophy. To this objection, I would first reply that the appeal of Skepticism seems to lie in the sort of radical changes that this philosophy may entail in a person’s life. For, if adopted, the cautious Pyrrhonean attitude will prevent one from making rash judgments about any topic that one has not examined or found final answers to, which in turn will prevent one from acting hastily. Another profound change consists in the fact that, even if at some point the Skeptic broke some of the most important moral rules of the society to which he belongs, he would perhaps experience some kind of discomfort, but he would not believe that he has done something objectively wrong. This would free him from the shame and remorse that those who believe that such an action is morally incorrect would experience in the same situation. In sum, the Pyrrhonean philosophy would produce, if adopted, profound changes in a person’s thoughts, feelings, and actions; changes that at first glance seem to be beneficial. But secondly, I think that whether or not Pyrrhonism is an appealing philosophy cannot in the end be determined a priori. For it depends on whether one values such attitudes as caution, open-mindedness, and intellectual modesty; or, if one does, on whether these attitudes are preferred to, for example, the sense of assurance that one may experience when espousing philosophic systems or religious beliefs. This is why my opening comment was just that Pyrrhonism may still be found attractive and worth adopting."

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

not knowing that your answers in the train ride determines your face, not knowing there were more map options (i literally picked the first one i saw lmao), eating my first perfect fruit, i also though you can get multiple villagers in "queue" in one night~ sigh if i could time travel in real life

I didn't want to be rude during the train questions, which you kind of do by picking like the none of your business and stuff. But I did look at all the options for my town first. THANKFULLY. But I probably should have kept plot reseting.

 

[spelling88]

haha i think i gave rude answers!! but I'm actually really happy with my map i have lots of room and stuff aha, I'm just thankful that i know so many more things about the game like how to get the most out of events, plot-resetting villagers, diving trick for pwps, etc~~"It may also be objected that my opening remark about the appealing character of Pyrrhonism is wrong or surprising, given that it is not possible for anyone to think that the stance I have presented is attractive and worth adopting.

i also didn't plan out my map layout! thankfully, mine's not terrible, although i see its downsides and kinda wish i had gone for a layout with less narrow slivers of land. :c also the idea of a secret beach is so cute and i wish i had heard of it when i started my game.

i wish i built the classic (?) police station, too. even though i prefer copper, just because i find him more memorable and iconic, the brown police station would find in much better with the stylistic direction my town is moving in and ahhhh i'm just frustrated about it hahahaha

Hmm I didn't reset for my town map... I went through all 4 and just picked the one that I liked best, but I didn't want to reset because it was pretty good (the town hall & retail are close, there was a good place in front of the town hall for my house).

But... rock placement is kinda bad. I have to build around them.

Also I did mess up my first perfect fruit; planted it too close to the ledge, so I just restarted since it was less than a day into the game.

I haven't done anything too bad. I recently made a second character and I put her house in an awful spot, which I regretted almost immediately. I have 10 villagers and several permanent PWPs already, so it's slim pickings for land in my town. A day later, I erased the character and re-created her, so I could put her house in a different area. I'm much happier now. I lost some bells, of course, because I had already paid off her first home loan, but it was worth it. At least I was smart enough to leave everything I bought for her at the plaza before I deleted her.

I wish that I didn't give away Julian for free ;_;

Owch! That's how I felt about Rosie, luckily my boyfriend just got her to ask to move so he'll be selling her so he can pay off his home loan!

My biggest regret was restarting my original New Leaf town last year. I guess I had gotten bored of it, but looking back I miss the bond with those neighbors. The second town I made didn't get played much, but I got back into the game last month. Got one of my original neighbors back, and am trying to get the others that I loved.

This ties right back into me missing Elmer, he's not in my dreamy list, but if he came back to me I would keep him no doubt. <3
