Dumb question about plot resetting

[Mey]

I got Hazel in my campsite and she agreed to move in, so yesterday I was trying to plot reset her to a good spot with zero luck. I want to keep resetting, but obviously my game is going to register as the next day when I start up a character if I don't mess with the clock.

SO here's my question:

Do I just start it up and make a new save file, letting it continue as the next day OR do I need to set the 3DS clock back to yesterday first? I feel like I would need to reset the clock back, but I'm not sure. If so, do I need to set it to a certain time as well? Hazel is a dreamie and I'm so scared of messing this up and having her perma-plot in a horrible spot

You'll need to set it to before 6 am the next day. If you do not touch the clock the house will show up, and you can't reset that.

Edit: Looking at the next two posts I'm likely wrong, I've never resetted into the next day.

You can plot reset forever if you don't load up your mayor or anything. I plot reset Carmen for 4 days (she agreed to move in on Sunday, started plotting Monday, finished today) so as long as you don't load up your mayor you'll be free to plot reset even if it does turn into the next day!

I think as long as you make a new character, you can probably let it go to the next day and continue, and if it doesn't work, since you didn't save, you can always change the clock back and continue the reset trick like that. I'm not 100% sure, but the game really doesn't save anything as long as you make a new character and don't save manually, so I can't imagine what could go wrong. I would still wait for some more replies other than just mine, though, as I'm not too experienced with this.

Just change the Ds date and do the save file thing

Like others have said, you can plot reset indefinitely as long as you don't load up an existing character. You shouldn't have to change the date.

You don't need to change the date, just make sure you don't load your mayor.

Thank you for making this thread!!
I have heard about plot resetting but I did it all wrong

Roscoe is a wrong place, and I completely forgot about the second character thing!

I didn't know that once you log in with the mayor character it ruins everything ! Thank you !

Oh no! The first time I tried I did it wrong as well, so I know your pain

Thanks everyone! Now I'm glad I didn't set the clock back, I hate messing with the 3DS clock unless I have to.

Hopefully Hazel will cooperate better today~
