data corruption?

[erikaeliseh]

im terrified of getting my acnl town corrupted... i have a physical copy and the original 3ds xl, does anyone know if it still happens with those? Ive heard it often happens to digital copies paired with the new 3ds xl, but im guessing it could happen to anyone. I dont hack at all, but i occasionally plot reset and time travel. i also close my 3ds after only saving and quitting the game, rather than going to home and turning it off. does anyone know if that really corrupts it? im getting so much anxiety over this, any advice would be much appreciated.

Corruption is usually random and there isn't much you can do about it. It's very, very rare though. In my experience, plot resetting has never been an issue and I'm sure TTing doesn't have any effect on the odds of corruption. The only way you can 100% prevent corruption is to never play your game which defeats the point of avoiding corruption.

i have had both kinds of copies , and have never had a problem.
try not to be too paranoid , that does't help any.
