For me, I haven't been able to play New Leaf since I got New Horizons. I'm kinda sad to say that but oh well, maybe it's just because I've been super busy lately lol.
Have you been feeling unmotivated to play?

Yeah. I kind of lost my motivation when I missed Kabuki’s birthday. I feel bad but I’m afraid he’ll be gone when I go back. Also I want another 3ds so I can get another new leaf and visit from my main town.
strangely enough, it's kind of opposite for me. i can hardly play acnh longer than 30 minutes anymore, but i've been getting very much more back into acnl lately. i don't really have the time to put in a lot of effort into terraforming and item placement, maybe that's why ? for me, acnl is fun to play even when i'm not doing anything in particular, but whenever i'm on acnh, my brain goes terraform! decorate! and i get stressed bc i just don't have that much time anymore lol .
I'm kind of in a rut where I'm trying to aesthetically shape my town and upgrade all my houses as I want them to the point where it involves a lot of grinding for bells that isn't fun after all. So I'm thinking of taking a break on that and just doing other things.
I've been feeling the same to be honest.
I'm currently taking a break from NH, and not going back to it until I miss it.
I think the reason for me going back to NL is because there are restrictions and that puts my mind at ease,knowing that there is nothing that I can possibly do.
Whereas NH has very few limits.
I've been away from my town for 12 days while I went on an electronic-less trip and got back to it. My motivation for playing is that I find entertainment in interacting with my villagers and having a routine. I play the game day by day without time traveling and go through the up and down moments. I don't feel unmotivated to pick up the game and play

I've pretty much completely stopped playing New Leaf since New Horizons released. It feels too similar to New Horizons for me to enjoy it, similar to how I can't really enjoy Wild World after playing City Folk. I still play my throwaway town when I see someone who needs villager signatures, but my main town hasn't been touched since NH released.
It's kind of the same for me too. New horizons has gotten a bit boring, I guess. I started playing New Leaf yesterday, and i'm in love with it again!
Not really. Every time i get bored i just sell my town, create a new one and change my dreamies/play style. But as of right now i am quite happy with the town i have and don't see myself resetting anytime soon.
I am also playing New Horizons, but since it doesn't have that many store upgrades to unlock (and i am already tired of decorating), i am not playing as much. Maybe i would play a little bit more if the villager interactions in that game were better and the dialogue wasn't as short and repetitive. In that sense, NL is far superior.

I've played non-stop for the past few weeks and honestly, yes, I'm feeling pretty burnt out. I think it's more the fact that I've done most of the things I wanted to do or have in mind. I've decorated a lot of my island and don't have many ideas for areas that are left empty. Sometimes I mix this lack of inspiration up with being burned out. Idk which one it is at this point lmao.

Kind of, I sometimes feel like in just trying to get it done with when I play. I've done most of what I can do in the town already. I'm already paying off the last expansion to my house and am running out of space for public work projects. The T&T Emporium just doesn't seem to ever have the furniture I want either despite how I go there every day.

Since we're in the New Leaf section of the forum, it's a no. I check on my villagers every now and then to ensure they don't move out and it changes up the pace from playing New Horizons. I sometimes go to club tortimer and people are still going there!

I still do play New Leaf, but now trading and interacting with others feels so dry compared to New Horizons. The other New Leaf forums are pretty much dead, and I feel like what’s the point of completing a town and working so hard when no one will ever see it? Sure, you can post online but no one pays much attention to New Leaf.
On a brighter note, I’m glad that the New Leaf forums aren’t completely dead and I still feel motivated to play with others.
