I have and I actually regret it now. I put in soooo much progress in my other town and the main reason I restarted was cuz my dreamy moved out and I got depressed over it. And then I began to hate my whole town cuz of it. I made it to the perfect town status and had the clock and everything. I put 300+ hours into this town only for it to all go to waste. I traded with so many people to complete sets in my catalog.
I wish I could go back in time and get that town back. I miss it so much. My emotions shouldn?t have gotten the better of me but at the time it felt like I lost everything.
My town now, it looks like such a newbie town. I don?t even have Shrink?s underground comedy club unlocked yet and I have to do everything all over again. And I honestly don?t think I have the heart, patience, time, and motivation to build what I have lost. At least... to the extent of my old town.
This is one of the reasons why I?m looking forward to New Horizons. I get to start brand new without missing something I lost and complete my town without starting over for such a petty reason. I just have a good feeling about it. New Leaf just makes me sad now. But on the bright side, I?ll get all 6 Sanrio sets to decorate my house. <3
I've never reset my town on New Leaf. However, idk if this counts but I did involuntarily reset my first town after it corrupted a year after I created it. In that sense, I guess I have, but I didn't do it willingly.
I deleted my first ever town after my favourite villager moved out, and I still kinda regret it. It was a spur of the moment decision, and I did not think about dropping some of the old wifi gift exclusives and other valuables in a friend's town before deleting, so I lost a lot of items that can no longer be obtained.
Then I had a string of other towns that never worked well before I created my current town, so I do not regret deleting those.
I made sure to visit a friend's town and drop my valuables I wanted to keep last time, though. I do not plan to ever delete again, but I'm looking into either buying a second cartridge if I find one somewhere or download the digital version of the fame on my 2ds.
I could never reset my town, all the progress and effort I put into it would be gone My town is just too precious to me, and if I ever wanted to start anew, I would just buy another copy of acnl and make another town
I did reset my town. I was supper close to finishing it, but I made a lot of mistakes with it and ended up hating my map a lot. I got a second town and started to move everything to that town and kept the theme, but ultimately I think I'm going to reset that town as well. I only did the autumn theme because the items in the game lend itself to it, but I don't think it's very me.
My town was 5 years old, and I reset it this summer to make a new town Primary which I really love. I'm one villager away from having all my dreamies, I have my PWP at max, and all my paths down. I just have to landscape after I get Moe! I really love my map and my new town. While Leefalls was nice, Primary was so worth it.
Once, because it was trashed, only after 6 months of purchasing it, and then I did tons of resetting on my 3rd cartridge because I needed an almost-perfect layout (and I don't wanna hack).
I did it like 5 times... There's always something that makes me stop loving my town at some point, like a new idea for a theme / name, little spot that starts annoying me etc.
I voted no but that’s only because I couldn’t bring myself to do it so I bought another game cartridge instead. My first New Leaf town was never updated, I didn’t even know about the Welcome Amiibo update until I decided to buy a new game.
Yeah, I have a few times. Usually immediately regret it, especially if I have put lots of hours into that town.
It's just that I always forget how long / much effort needs to go into the town in the early steps.
That being said, the feeling of starting anew is, like others have said, is very refreshing.
A change of layout is always nice... But still, there enough ways to spice up a map that don't involve hours of re-grinding.
Never have and probably never could.. I get way to attached and I'd feel sad seeing the town I worked years on to just disapear.. this is also probably why I've ended up with 3 copies of the game.
