I have 3 cartridges. One is my cycling town, which I was using to sell villagers for TBT and also supply my garden shop. I haven?t even turned this one on in a while.
The other two cartridges I used to alternate. I would play one really hardcore for a while, then get bored of it and start over on the other one. The reason I would get bored would vary, usually I would feel like the town was done-ish and just need one or 2 more PWPs or something. This cycle would continue for months, but I ended up keeping my town ?Valley? before I quit playing again last summer-ish.
Now I?m back again to play. I have my cycle town, Valley and I restarted my third cartridge. I doubt I will fall into my old patterns though.
Other common reasons into restart a young town would be river shape, number of rocks or rock locations, shape of the beach, native fruit, grass type, etc. Minor annoyances I thought I could adjust to but in the end I just couldn?t.
