Yes i have hacked my ACNL game just as almost every game i have got in life :'D
I even lost my town due to that , mostly because the editor was on a alpha version
(and if you think hacked towns don't have effort , mine took about 9 months to be perfect)

No. My 3DS has the latest firmware and my game has the latest update so it's impossible. Besides, I restarted my New Leaf town on the 21st of September 2016 and I still think it's a bit too early to hack it. As for my second GameCube town, that is hacked as I used to have a lot of fences around the place and it has a Nook's Cranny next to the sea along with a bridge that you can walk on and fall off into the ocean to get to the island without a GBA. I also hacked my villagers but I accidentally put more than 2 normal villagers.

Nope. Didn't know that was possible in new leaf. Heard it could be done in let's go to the city though.
I used homebrew to hack a lot when I played City Folk and while it was fun at first, it sort of ruined the game because I could get anything and any villagers. After messing around with a few different towns I sort of just lost interest in the game because I had done everything you could with it.
I would be tempted to do so with New Leaf but I would probably forego, just based on my experience with City Folk. However, I do think people have the right to hack their towns if they so choose, they are quite fun to look at too~

PSA: if you actually want to hack look up soundhax (the new one not the 2012 one) snd use that asap bc it might be getting patched soon also http://smealum.github.io/3ds/
but there was this time when i got a new 3ds ( not a NEW 3ds like a new old 3ds xl if you get me) and i found out i could hack and i just went crazy with it like i completely bent it over and ****ed it like yall. i changed all the acres and i legit put cliff acres in the middle of the town and it was a complete mess. also if you look at my old threads i made a maze town out of trees and all the acres were flat so like if you went to the edge of the town, there was no cliff it was legit like grass, and it just straight dropped down into water. if you look at this video this is basically what i did except it was completely flat so https://youtu.be/bmCiATF5iCo?t=471

Not... in particular.
I don't think I'd really want to. It's crossed my mind a few times when I would play when I was younger, but the idea of corrupting my town kept me from doing it.
EDIT: I take it back. I have recently hacked my town, and I was surprised with how much fun it is to poke around with things!

I used to hack when hacks first came out and I was just messing around and seeing what I could do with it. However Nintendo patched it and I was no longer able to hack. Now that soundhax has been released I have been hacking with my recent town, I've mainly been landscaping since I've completed everything else legitimately so it's just a matter of getting trees and bushes somewhere where they don't usually grow. :3

Ignore what I said earlier; I just recently hacked my town. Turns out I can use soundhax, save data manager and save data editor with the firmware I currently have. I know it will get patched soon which is why I'm doing this right now. What I did was hack in Bob, Alfonso, Mitzi, Rosie, Olivia and Cherry (replacing Jeremiah, Mott, Vesta, Beardo, Pecan and Paula in that order). I also healed all of the grass in my town so that there's no dirt. As soon as I started my game, I noticed that it was Bob's birthday and he was partying with Cherry. I gave Bob a kiddie tee and he wondered how did I knew what he would want. If there's one thing I like about the editor is that it changes the villager ENTIRELY (changes their personality, catchphrase, name, clothes and house) unlike editors for previous games which only changed their appearance so you had to do the rest manually.

Yes, I've just learned how to use Soundhax and I absolutely love it! I'm currently landscaping my town.

I don't like hacking, I think I wouldn't still be playing in my town, because I would build it very fast, without any efforts! So, I would't like my town at all, I would restart a new town, throwing away all my work. I don't want this to happen, so I will never hack.

I sure did. And i'm thinking of doing it again. Even though, I merely did almost everything in my main town. I would, however max out my mules in Leafton with Bells so they will no longer be mules and become regular residents. (I plan to make my 2nd mule's house a fancy restaurant, and my 3rd mule a nature house.
My 3rd town has all the dreamies I need, so now I need to get all PWPs and max out my bells. And of course, landscape it. I may only use hybrids, though. As they are hard to get. Well some.
For other games, I may just change the music. Is it possible to change the hourly music in this game too? Thinking of changing 9pm to Bridge on the River Ty. I might change the villager's skin to make them custom villagers. (If I want a Tree Deer, a Pinata Horse, or any old villagers I want back. I can do that.)

Yup. I only use the hack for landscaping. I just want my town to look pretty and unique!
Using the hack for certain spots I couldn't plant because it keeps dying within the area. )<

My main issue with landscape hacking is changing the acres. You HAVE to have at least one pond, two waterfalls, a town hall acre, a train station acre, a Re-Tail acre, a plaza acre and two ramps leading to a beach otherwise the game will crash upon the title screen (thankfully I managed to change some of my acres without the game crashing so now I have a ramp leading down to what was once an inaccessible beach).

I never have and I don't think I ever will, especially not in my current town because I've no obnoxious rocks or anything.
Like you though I was disheartened by hacked towns, even if I managed to complete a town how could it ever compare? But someone here on forums told me that hard work and making those little imperfections work is just as if not more beautiful than a hacked town. The way I see it hacked towns are like photoshop touch ups. They're beautiful but they're also fake. That said I'm not opposed to them, I think it's cool to expand the possibilities of what you can do but there's something really special about a genuine town.

I used to hack back in 2015, but I stopped playing for a few months and when I came back there were different ways to hack and I didn't really want to get into it again, so I started a new town. Then stopped playing and restarted my town. Again. Now I've been playing in that town since september and I really love the plans I have for it. But I did start hacking again. And I sure do not regret it. Ever since soundhax got released I decided to just wing it. I don't use hacking for getting bells or rare items, but I do use it for landscaping. I don't create a ''perfect'' map like some people do, but I have changed one plain acre, so I could have the stone pavement in front of my cafe. Besides that, I love my map the way it is. Except for those annoying rocks. I had like 9 of them and just had to remove a few to create the areas I wanted.
Basically, I just want to play the game as it was intended to, but in a more free way that could only be achieved with hacking. If that makes sense.
