How many times did you reset to get your map?

[GalacticGhost]

Title says it all, really. I'm just curious because right now I'm resetting to get a good map for my second town.

When I first started playing NL and made Lumatown, I had no idea I could keep resetting to get different maps. I also had no idea what kind of layout I wanted my town to have, so I just picked a map out of the first four I was given.

However, I got a second copy of NL for Christmas, and I know exactly what kind of layout I want my second town to have. Unfortunately, I've resetted over 80 times, and I STILL haven't found what I want...

In my original town, I found my map on the first try. (I think it was the second of the four options.) In Pripyat, I spent a couple of days resetting. What a pain! But, like you, I wanted my second town to look a certain way and I refused to give up until I was happy.

Ohhhh OK! I think the one Lumatown has is C3 in the box on the left in the second row.

I think I'll end up spending a few days resetting, too! D: I started doing it yesterday. I would have started sooner, but I was afraid of spending a long time just trying to get the perfect map. ...And that's exactly what's happening! I did come very close to getting what I want earlier, but the town had oranges and I want either apples or cherries.

I didn't realize that town-resetting was a thing when I made my first town.

But for my second town....

I reset so many times that it took me pretty much a week to get the perfect layout.

 

[Sjokolade]

10-20 times? I'm pretty happy with my map, but it's not exactly what I had in mind.

 

[MeghanNewLeaf]

It didn't take me very long, but I didn't have too specific of a map in mind. Good luck finding yours!

 

[Alienfish]

A few times, to get somewhat good starters and a good map so i dont get annoying small spaces in the corners. Might have to build another bridge but meh there are worse.

When I made Fishbowl, I reset 2 or 3 times. I wanted pears and a blue train station, and I got both pretty quickly.

I never look for specific map layouts - I just see which of the four options given looks the easiest to navigate. I can't fathom how difficult it must be to reset for hours/days for the perfect map, so kudos to those who have the patience!

The first time I just wanted to play, so I took one of the first.
Now I know exactly what I want... I've been resetting for 3 months, thousand times, I still haven't found my town. kill. me. now. :'(

I love my starting map and have never wanted to reset it even though it has three ponds. I actually think the ponds are well placed in my town, especially the one that divides the train station plaza from Re-Tail.

 

[cfs317]

I have two copies and I just picked the first map for both. I guess I'm not really concerned with the layout. Thinking of it now, I probably should've chosen a different map for my second copy. But if it matters too much I'll just start it over since I've only played like five days.

 

[MalinkaLuna]

It took me quite a while
I didnt count, but it took me 2 days to find my layout

Its B2 of the bottom right one, with two ponds

 

[GalacticGhost]

I've reset 110+ times now, and I still don't have the map I want...

What I'm trying to get is a town that has:

- Either apples or cherries as the native fruit
- Re-tail close to the dock
- A 'private' beach (where there is no ramp leading to it)
- A train station that is any colour except green
- A blue town hall
- A 'bubble' of land (where there's a smallish area surrounded by river or the cliffs on three sides)
- Star-shaped snow

 

[visibleghost]

ehh 3 or 4 times i think. I found a good map pretty quickly, the only bad thing is that it hasn't got a private beach and that there are like 7 rocks ^^'
I still like the map a ton and I'm not really into map resetting for ages so yyeeeah

The first time I knew that I could reset and yet I still wanted to choose out of the first 4 maps that Rover gave me. I ended up with something I loved so I lucked out.

When I was resetting the other day I got my map on the 2nd reset. I'm still playing with it to see how it's going but it's quite nice so far.

My current town I probably reset between 20 or 30 times to get a nice map, my first ever town Dagobah, I picked the first map I saw and regretted it after a while lol

 

[PrincessAurora]

I probably spent a couple hours resetting. I mainly wanted a little peninsula for my own house and a decent strip for my residents to settle in. I'm not particular on fruits or ground patterns at all. I think it's nice to be able to work with what you're given, not be so obsessed with resetting that you make yourself sick.

 

[smileorange]

About an hour or two. It got old pretty fast and I wasn't particularly picky. Although I do remember how horrified I was when I thought I had found the perfect map and then when I arrived at the town I found out it had peaches as the native fruit. Haha I reset so fast.

I can't even remember what specifications I had, but I really love my map!

Heaven: None. I was moving a character from one town to another and I was afraid if I reset I'd lose her and all her progress.
Moonview: None. I lucked out and was happy with the first map I got.
