Did I do something wrong ? ( plot reset )

[Kalhyna]

Hi everyone,

I just bought my second copy of ACNL yesterday and created a new town .
Today, I wanted to do the plot reset trick so I started the game with my mayor at 5.59 am to save and then create a new character.
But when my character came out of her house it was 6:00 am ... and there's a plot ...

I thought I couldn't have one before 6:01 am ...Is it really possible to have a plot at 6:00 am ?

I am so disappointed ...

Yes. 6:00 is when a brand new day begins.

youre better off loading your mayor at 5:57 or 5:58, that way you have time to save & quit. otherwise 6am comes too quickly and once it does, you're stuck with the plot. :c​

You're right, I had not enough time to do it =(... I was so disappointed when I noticed I had a new plot ...
I don't know why but I was sure next day started at 6:01 =(

Thanks =)

i always change my 3ds clock to the next day and then create a new save file, it's much easier for me personally. maybe you can try that next time and see how it goes? of course, you can use whichever trick works best for you

That's the easiest way to do it. I don't know why people bother loading up their mayor just before 6:00 AM. What is the reason for it? You can create a new character at any time on a new day to plot reset.

I was literally thinking the same as this. Whenever i plot reset i do it this way, never tried the 6 am thingy.

I really struggled with why you have to load with the Mayor first (prior to 6am) - you only have to do this if you are changing time with Isabelle at the front screen:
The reason being (quoting a player called punquin who explained it to me): When changing the in-game date/time, you are forced to load the game as an existing character - which saves the game automatically.

I always change time with the 3ds clock in system settings (I don't play every day, but like to play every ingame day, so I freeze time). If you do use the system clock then you can load a new save file on the new day - so long as the first character you load on that new day is a new character (ie a new save file, don't load the Mayor!) and you save that new character to 'set' the game.

Yeah like other's have said, it starts at 6AM. I always do 5:58 to give myself enough time and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Sometimes I'm a bit too early with my new character (like the character was created at 5:59 so it doesn't register that it's a new day) and I have to make another one. That's a minor inconvenience though. You can try the other method people suggested and change the time on your 3DS instead. In that case, DON'T start with your mayor and just go straight to a new character.
