How Long Did it Take You to Get a Map You Like?!

[PoizonMushro0m]

Took me about 3 map swaps during the conversation with Rover when you start a new game...

After my reset, I went through about 900+ maps and it took me a little over a day. LOL I was so sick of Rover's face. Good luck though! I hope you find a map you like.

Froogie reseted for me so I guess 7 hours?

I got exactly what I wanted on the first try.

900+?!??! Oh my gosh I would have lost it haha yeah after re-setting for my map and then plot setting 5 villagers I would be fine with never seeing Rover's face again ^^;

I looked through all 3, all of them looked good- well, compared to the previous 3 iterations of Animal Crossing, so I picked the first one since none really looked bad (certainly not like my City Folk game with a stupid tiny cliff about 4 squares wide separated by a cliff and the river :/).

I've stuck with the first map I got, but sometimes I get a little jealous of really nice maps I see on island tours.

Good for you! As a serial re-starter (although I plan on keeping my current town), I'm sort of jealous of people that have original towns ^^

LOL 900! Really hardcore I got my current layout in less than 50 resets in around 2 hours, I think xD Nooo, you can't get enough of Rover's face. Nah, just kidding

My town was the first option I got from Rover, because at the time, I didn't know you could choose between different towns (I didn't even know that every town looked different). I had never played Animal Crossing before. I got really lucky because I am still really happy with my town. I like all the fruits, so having pear as my town fruit was okay for me. Plus: perfect pears are golden and look beautiful! I have two almost equally sized beaches. Also, I started with great villagers, like Wolfgang and Bluebear, who are my favorites. My grass is round, so I'm quite pleased with that, too.

I've never considered resetting. I don't judge people who do, but personally I feel like it would be a waste since I've already put so much time and effort into my town. My town will always be a WIP, but I like it that way. If it were 'perfect' or 'done', the game would be boring and useless.

Maybe an hour or so? I just wanted one that appealed to me. Mine's low on space, but I'm happy with it. It's not about how much space you are given, but what you choose to do with it.

I just picked one of the maps that was given to me when I first started up the game. I love it though

 

[uncle]

I picked the third or so map that it gave me. The layout was important but the fruit or where the rocks were didn't matter so much to me.

 

[Oddity]

I picked one of the first ones that Rover offered. Not ideal, I actually really hated it at first but since I saw Ankha and Genji when I stepped off the train, I decided to keep it because I knew Anhka would be a valuable asset to acquiring a future dreamie. I also didn't like the character face I ended up with. I thought that's what I wanted when looking at the guides... But then changed my mind. But I grew to love what I have and that goes for the map as well.

I will say that after putting some work and building the 3 bridges, I think it's gonna look awesome and I'm in the process of crossing some flowers to get a ton of hybrids. Next will be trees and PWPs. I was really inspired when I visited an amazing Japanese Dream Town the other day. They didn't have a perfect map nor did they try to plot-reset their villagers into straight lines but their town was no less STUNNING. I hardly noticed what the map looked like after I was already immersed into the town.

 

[Stitched]

I settled for my map. Square grass and oranges I could deal with.
There's like seven permanent rocks though, which I could definitely do without. But I like the layout enough.

 

[Rochelle]

Haha I was super picky lol! Though I suppose not quite as much as I could have been.

I wanted a private spot for my house, apples (cos perfect apples are awesome!), south facing Waterfall, neutral coloured Station/Town Hall, a large space for all of my plot resetted villagers to go and an out of the way Plaza! I got everything plus a lovely smooth river (which I adore) though I could have done with an extra pond (only have the one) and less rocks (I have 8 if you can believe that!)

I was never worried about grass type or east/west facing beach and lucked out by getting a private beach anyway! I love figuring out what PWP's and plants should go in different areas so I've had my map set up as to how I want it from day one, just sans the actual PWP's as I'm still deciding on all my final dreamies and need PWP's to make plot resetting not quite so tedious!

I was super picky too--the number one thing I cared about was the river! Everything else was secondary. I hate the super winding rivers with too many dips and bumps--I know that's a strange thing to care about! But it's the main divider of the town, so I wanted to make sure it felt "even" ^^;

 

[useyourdrill]

Two tries. I just wanted a map with the river on the right side of the town, that was all that I cared about. I had good starting villagers too, which was lucky.

 

[Tap Dancer]

I chose the second map from the list. I do like it, but sometimes I feel a little regret. My river runs diagonally, so there's a small strip of land at the top where there's not much room to put anything. I just have some trees and flowers there. That's the only thing that bothers me. However, I've put so much time into my town that I would hate to restart. Besides, no matter what, there will always be something small that can be seen as a flaw. It's a case of "the grass is always greener," you know?

Two tries and I got a layout I was satisfied with.
