Have any of you reset your island yet?

no, i get super attached to things, so i haven't reset my island and i don't think i will :''') i think usually when i find stuff i don't like either i just make myself care less about it (like i have the orange airport, and i don't like the color orange but OH WELL who looks that closely at everyone's airport color u kno?) or change it (like if i got a town fruit i don't like, i can always just... plant the other fruits...)

Yes... I just reset a few days ago. I found my map wasn’t suitable anymore and wasn’t happy with things overall so I reset! I’m taking my time from now on- rushing to set out everything at once absolutely destroyed me and ultimately made me hate my original island.
I really wish I had your willpower!! I think my reasoning behind it is I don’t really like TTing and stupidly I placed my housing plots in silly places (as well as the shops), and now I realise you can only move them one at a time.. and it takes a whole day... so I feel a little overwhelmed haha. Also I don’t really have that much of a connection with the villagers and feel like if I stripped it back and started from the beginning again it would bring some of the fun back for me :’)

That’s exactly how I feel! I’m glad that you’re more settled now. I’m just a bit sad because I catalogued and traded a lot of items that were on my wishlist and I’ll miss them haha.
I don't think I understand what you mean by reset, but if you mean if we have terraformed our islands a lot, then yes I've done that. I've drastically changed my landscape because I picked a terrible layout and wanted more waterflow
As in delete all of your save data and start again
Oooh, no nevermind. That's too hardcore for meAs in delete all of your save data and start again
that's totally true! it does take a while to move housing plots, but i guess i just try to keep my chin up by thinking "i have something to look forward to (moved house) and something i have to do tomorrow (move another house)" if that makes sense?? like i always have something i'm working towards which feels nice. and yeah! if resetting will bring back the fun for you, by all means do it! this time around you'll probably have a better idea of what you want your whole island to be like again
)Oh wow! That’s impressive!
Do you stick with what you have at the beginning or do mini-resets for certain fruit etc?

Aw that’s a really nice attitude to have! Haha, you’d think that, but that’s what I did last time and it didnt work out as planned :’) I guess I’m always aiming for the unachievable “perfect” island which clearly doesn’t exist. The presence the game has on social media doesn’t help either as I’m constantly bombarded with aesthetically pleasing photos of islands and rooms in houses etc etc. I wish I had even an ounce of their creativity!that's totally true! it does take a while to move housing plots, but i guess i just try to keep my chin up by thinking "i have something to look forward to (moved house) and something i have to do tomorrow (move another house)" if that makes sense?? like i always have something i'm working towards which feels nice. and yeah! if resetting will bring back the fun for you, by all means do it! this time around you'll probably have a better idea of what you want your whole island to be like again
Also: off topic but I love your username! That film really sticks with me ♡
Once, with ACNL, because I got cherries and it is the one fruit I really dislike.
But other than that, nope! In other games, inc ACNH, I picked the very first map offered to me and stuck with it.

Not in this game. Towards the end of playing one of my many towns in NL, there was one I reset and I became a habitual resetter after that. I realized it’s addicting to reset the game and if you start, there’s a high likelihood you won’t stay with a town for long. I said I wouldn’t do that this time around in NH especially because it’s only one island per switch.
I’m with you on the cherries part, there’s just something about them.. even in NH
I went into the game with hope of doing the same kind of thing but unfortunately here I am, almost 3 resets in haha!

I think that’s what makes the decision to reset even harder, like you can’t even buy another copy of the game. I really wish we could have another island on our switch!
I used to have one island I would constantly reset just for fun in NL and my one town that I’d had since first getting the game, I guess that’s where my reset habits dawned

No, I've put too much time and effort into it. I knew we'd be able to change terrain, so I focused on a map that had RS and the airport. I'm only doing minor changes to make houses fit better.
I haven’t reset yet but I have been thinking about it. I don’t like how I placed my houses and how my island is set up. I do love my villagers though and I don’t want to lose any of my items so I don’t really know what to do
i spent a lot of my time resetting at the beginning of the game to get a layout i liked, with fruit i liked and with no horrifically ugly villagers! haha, considering how much we can do with the terraforming tools and how much i adore the villagers i have now, i can't see myself resetting my new horizons game ever
