So I just got my second copy and thought I could really make this my perfect town and use all my money from first game to set it up then cycle through villagers, so I'm trying to get the "perfect" map now (Long beach, few ponds, retail/town hall/plaza clustered together) and that's taken a few shots, but everytime i go find a semi decent map, i keep getting ugly villagers haha. How many resets did you multiple players take before it was "perfect"?
How many resets before you got your perfect map/villagers to start with?

singer? maybe
If I remember, 37.
But I remember that I needed more than 200 resets to get another town. It was back in mid-August, I think.

3000+
Then I took a break from NL altogether.
In the end I just forced myself to pick one of the first four maps.
I was really picky, though. I had seen quite a few maps that were almost perfect, I just couldn't settle with any of them and fussed over the smallest things. Seriously, don't do that.

With my main game it didn't take me super long, probably 30-45 minutes. I wasn't being extremely picky, though.
With my alt it took me over six hours. >__>; I wanted a VERY specific river, not apples since I have those in my main, and tolerable villagers. I felt so discouraged at times but once I got "the map", I was SO glad I hadn't settled on anything else.

According to my activity log it took me over 9,000 times..
That's one month of resetting.

Zero. When I first got the game didn't even think about resetting to get different results. Never did it in the previous games and only thing on my mind was I'm going to play this for the next 345490340957345 hours.
Zero!
I didn't really think about the map too much. Out of the three, it was the best.
After all of the reconfiguration, I think that the town map really flows nicely.
And with the pink paths, it's easy for visitors to understand; excluding the horde of flowers right in front of Main Street blocking off any connection to the pathway.

According to the activity log, I've done around 200 resets in the beginning. I started with a long list of criteria I wanted to meet, but after the 1st reset, I gave up most of them and only focused on the river shape.
Funny thing, too - my ideal map was among the first set of maps presented to me, but a villager's house was already in the spot where I wanted to build my house. The game pretty much trolled me.

I spent about 2 months resetting for the 'perfect' town and about 4-5 hours everyday. I usually just pop in a movie on my tv/laptop while reseting to make it go by faster.
I got all my dreamies within a week using a 2nd game. It was super easy cycling through to get my dreamies and then cycling again to get them to move out. I <3 my town now!

Nope, I did not reset, I decided on a map and I love it. I find it more challenging and rewarding to do whatever I can with the decision I'd made given the choices I had. Perfection is boring. I like getting new villagers. I like meandering rivers. For me, changing villagers keeps things fresh and exciting. Playing is the fun part. I would stop playing if everything was perfect. Because, really, if everything was perfect, you wouldn't want to change a thing, would you. You'd be terrified of change.
