I was very close to resetting my island because I wanted to change my island name and possibly my starting villagers but at that point I already traded a bunch with people and I would hate to lose my progress... just wish there was a way to edit my island name, honestly
Have any of you reset your island yet?

I reset one time, which was a day after starting my town because I couldn’t get it out of my head that I wanted an orange airport. I tried to convince myself that blue matches Dodo brand well, but the orange airport looks cozy. I am very happy I reset but I didn’t lose much progress because it was only one day later. I would have struggled with the decision if I were a month or two into playing the game. I cannot see any reason I will ever reset again. I look forward to a few years from now and having the same island.

i've never reset a game except for new leaf, and i regretted that one SO much lol like personally i'm so bad at letting go of stuff i've spent time on
i don't love my resident services or river placement, so i wish i could but i don't want to lose all of my museum progress and have to do the tutorial again (especially since i don't TT ). good luck with your reset though, i hope you find lots of dreamies!

in their defense, i reset and i certainly am a perfectionist. It's not a terrible assumption!
No, I don't dare reset because I don't think I would ever be able to get back the dreamies I've found again! (Four of them so far.) They would be way too expensive to trade for in terms of NMT, and I can't afford their amiibos irl.
Luckily, I also happen to really like my island, so I have no desire to reset. I deleted my island once in NL after playing for about three years, and I regretted it soooo much. My new town was never as good as my old one, so I learned my lesson. Not doing that again!

I've thought about resetting because I want to change my island name too! I wish there was a way to buy a name change from Tom Nook using Nook Miles or something like that. As much as I'm having second thoughts about my island name, I still like the layout of my island and my villagers (especially my first two) so unless I absolutely can't stand my name anymore, I don't think I will reset.

not gonna lie, I was really considering it a couple days ago since I have an irl friend that plays that I trust 100% so I could store all my stuff on their island. plus I either have or will be getting amiibo cards for my dreamies, so losing them wouldn't be huge. I was thinking of it mainly because of my layout, there's just a bunch of small things that add up that I don't like. but most of all, I didn't realize I couldn't move the resident services building :/ my fault for not looking more into it. I ultimately decided against it just because of the effort involved lol. with terraforming and furniture I kinda managed to "disguise" the main thing that was bothering me with the building anyway.

I hate how I feel like I cant reset now and how all these balloon quests keep happening I desperately need a break.... I want to reset but It took me 3 days to find a map and I'm still not happy with it.. that was three days ago.. I dont want to imagine resetting again I almost completely gave up on the game then when I was looking for a map for 3 days... and now i dont want to loose all my cherry blossoms ahhhhhh that I've spent three days collecting like a mad man I only need 3 more diys please for the love of all if anyone has cherry blossom floor diy, cherry blossom clock and the rock diy.. I only need those 3 and I'm trying really hard! Yet haven't found one all day... found four bamboos tho.. whe did that one even start I dont know... is there a panda bear villager I wonder?...

I know I said different earlier, but I have decided to reset and replay my progress. I went into the game blindly and didn't know certain limitations, and I feel like saving my island would take just as much as time as replaying those days and then skipping ahead until today. I said I didn't want to, but I feel like it's still early enough in the game to justify it to myself.
My reasons are:
- I feel like I have picked the wrong native fruit.
- I dislike my river outlets so much
- The flower limitation wouldn't bother me if I got a rose, which I didn't. I can't trade, so I really need to get one.
- I completely went overboard with terraforming and it all feels artificial and I hate it. I'm not creative, but I want to chill.
- I don't like the forms of my rocks, it's a petty complaint but it's another reason to reset in my eyes.
- I randomly placed everything
- One of my first 5 villagers was a dreamie who's not stuck in a basic house despite me owning an amiibo.
But I think the biggest reason is that I just played wrong and want to redo everything properly. I glamorized playing with no idea and now I just hate my island. It looks terrible, and I can't really work with the landscape if I ruined it.
I really hope I don't go reset crazy again, but with everything being slow resetting seems more enjoyable than fixing to me.

I reset about 4 days in, mostly because I really wanted Apples. I like my current airport color and am happy now that I have apples, and like my villagers, however my Resident Services placement really bugs me. It's really close to the airport but off center and it's really annoying, but I don't think it's enough for me to reset over, I've put a lot of work in already.
These are the only things I can think of that are permanent about your island:
- Resident Services location
- Airport location / color
- River outlets
- Beach layout (private beach, peninsula, dock, rocks, shape)
- Native fruit / flower (doesn't really matter that much unless perfect fruit makes a return)

I reset my first town on ACNL and regretted it for so long, so I don't think I'm ever going to reset here. I got an orange airport which I'm not fond of but that's literally the only thing and it's pretty small as well, and with terraforming I think I'd rather just go through the hard work than reset.
Honestly one of the things putting me off resetting so much is the prologue music lmao, I don't want to hear that for a week again ever.

omgg dude. ive almost wanted to reset so many times but decided against it for a load of reasons
- my native was pears. dont hate them but definitely not as desirable as peaches or apples for me. only reason i didnt reset near the beginning because i wanted a natural playthrough and green fruit at least fits with my town name.
- was really debating if i should put my real name or my username as my character name. kinda dont care for my name at this point lol.
- wasted like 1mill on bridges and inclines plus my town hall position is really bad lol but im making it work just struggling alot.
- i just dont like half of my villagers lol. doesnt help most randomly come in out of no where.
Within your save file you can only get 4 breeds of flower, and I wasn't lucky enough to get roses on any of my NMT islands.
