Hello!! I just found my 3ds today after it being missing for a few years! Back then I used to frequent these boards, but not so much once I lost my 3ds (with ACNL still inside) but now I think I'm gonna get back into it! I've sold my town and restarted as most of my dreamies moved out and my storage was in utter disarray, so any words of motivation for me to rebuild my town? Thanks
Hey, welcome back. I haven't done a restart or anything, but I will go through phases where I am super into the game and then fall out of it for a few months. That's the beauty of this game--it is always waiting for you to come back.
That said, my only real suggestion is to make sure you are happy with the map that you choose. You will have a lot of memories from your old town, but it's better to take the time to really settle on something you like before investing the hours into perfecting it.
