hi, i went insane tonight

[ClaireSprinkleSwirl]

i spent 3 hours plot resetting

everytime i would carefully do 2-3x a tour of my town to see if it hasn't placed anywhere else

each time it would FINALLY be in the place i wanted, it wasn't aligned with the other house and that bugged me so much i tried again. after multiple useless tries i would be able to put some other tiles/pattern i had forgotten so it could, this time, be aligned.

and then i forgot to check when i loaded yet another time. i was too focused on "placing patterns where it wouldn't go".

that

it went
in front of
the
fcknkxshtd
town hall.
but i had already went on my mayor (to place some new tiles/patterns)
so
i can't go back
i want to cry
you know that feeling of, anxiety, yknow "i know i messed up, it's too late, i can't erase it, what have i done. why. how"
also
it's Bree
i don't want her
i don't want you
i already have half of my villagers that are ugly and have the worst personality
and they won't leave no matter if i ignore them or what
so
please
fall in the ocean while trying to fish or get stung by a bee and die
thanks,
sincerely, my [now insane] self


I'm sorry if this doesn't have its place here? like
I don't really know if it would be "against the rules" or something, I'm not exactly sure if "jokes"/"off topic" of such are allowed
but I can't help but laugh at myself
yet I'm also obviously very upset
I needed to let go of my frustration somewhere
and, if this is also fine, I'd like to share some of what I lived through this painfully long (and more damaging than useful) journey
[i translated some into english but really does anyone care lmao]

anyway thanks everyone. good night :'))))

I’m already insane but I totally get you ClaireSprinkleSwirl, this game can be insufferable sometimes, but remember, it’s just a game and when it gets trying then you just put it down until your emotions stabilize and when you go back then you just cope with the issues as best you can. Right now my town is messing with my head giving me a hard time with bees, it knows I know how to catch the damn things but it won’t let me... then it will, then the next day I get stung four xxxxing times in a row, the next day I catch them all so try to keep a perspective (I know, easier said than done) but maybe realizing others go through it too will help you cope. It’s usually really rewarding and a fun way to spend time but it just seems to throw a wrench in there every now and then.

I have definitely had this happen and I?m still trying to complete a 16 villager cycle to get Kiki back into my town

Show this to someone without context and watch their reaction.

The best thing to do is doing this with patience, taking time and not ruining your day(s) because of this. I saw often the case that people taking the whole villager plot resetting thing very serious, but not realizing that it's not really healthy to them self going on this while being emotional and wasting so much time as well as energy into it. I mean, I do understand that you want a nice looking town, but probably not for every price. It's a video game after all. Anyway, I know how you feel and yeah, while I actually like Bree, I wouldn't like it either if she would move right in front of the town hall. It's the worst spot a villager could move in. I hope she will move out soon and next time, try to cover the whole area around the town hall with paths, in general it's better to put down enough paths to prevent any bad house spots. But remember, go on it with patience, if you feeling going "insane" again, take a break and try it later again. You will see this works better. Good luck!

Remember, it's just a game. Animal Crossing is not worth wasting your valuable time and mental energy over when it starts making you feel like this. I mean- three hours? That seems like a long time to continue making yourself play for a villager's house. I hope most of this was indeed satirical and I'm just being a stiff, lol.

I'm sorry Bree's plot resetting didn't go your way. You'll get better at it in time! Analyze the situation and maybe you will find something you overlooked before you started. Good luck.

plot resetting is literally my least favorite part about my towns. i would settle for just leaving it alone and all, but i am such a perfectionist that it bugs me and i end up plot resetting. it usually takes FOREVER but i can usually get it in a couple hours. ugh

 

[John Wick]

Yeah. Plot resetting totally sucks.

So glad we won't ever have to do that again in New Horizons. ^_^

Once, a while back, I had six of my villagers neatly lined up. Two perfectly neat and aligned rows of 3 houses. Then I decided to sell punchy to someone here. I knew my town had placement paths all around. I wasnt that concerned. No chance of him moving out of place.

Until he did.

One space out of place.

My carefully placed houses are now just slightly uneven and because its an amiibo villager and I've removed all my placement paths it will probably always be like that.

Unless I wait until that villager pings me... Eight of my ten villagers are amiibo so they do ping me sometimes.

And now I wish I hadn't removed all my placement paths. Oh well. Bree will eventually move out, thankfully she isn't an amiibo villager. I had Marshall move in close to my City Hall.

I've done that before, but being an amiibo you can fix this.

Just boot that villager out temporarily, using another amiibo, then do the usual pattern laying you would normally do, then invite the amiibo you want to move in (again) and boot the temporary amiibo villager out.

Plot reset, until the villager is in the place you want. ^_^

I did try to fix it by plot resetting but it never did work out. No matter what the villagers just planted themselves in the same place.

I have pretty much all my villagers set out now to never change but I suppose if I even get bored in the future it's an option. I think it's something I've come to terms with. In the least people know I don't hack lol. Thanks for the advice though!

It will eventually work.
Just make sure the spot you've left is legit, and check to see if you've covered the town in patterns, and not missed a spot.

If the spaces you've left are legit, they will eventually plot there.

It's frustrating but it will work. ^_^

Haha it probably would eventually, I was just never patient enough lol. Thanks!

No worries. ^_^
It is truly frustrating!
