How to get back into ACNL?

[tobi!]

Hi, I haven't played in awhile meaning I lose villagers easily.

I lost Marshal and Skye due to not playing a lot. Wondering what you guys do to keep playing?

I set goals for myself to complete - difficult enough that they take a while to complete, but small enough that I don't get frustrated and give up. Right now, I'm breeding blue roses and working on my Remake Master badge. ^^

If you don't TT, then I'm not really sure. If you do TT, then I usually take note of the last day I played (in-game) and I'll just TT back to the day after that in my 3ds clock. That way the game doesn't know that any time has passed.

The fact that I go through phases of wanting to play ACNL a whole bunch, and then take a huge break as I get bored of it, is actually one of the reasons I TT, hehe. ^^;;

I listen to Turning Over A New Leaf Song
And I was looking at some QR's so I started playing for that reason too

If you haven't already, there is a bug, fish and diving encyclopedia waiting for you to complete it. You could also aim to collect 1 of each seashell, and 1 of each flower, including hybrids.

There is also the furniture catalogue to complete.

You could make it your goal to make your town look nice! It takes a while to raise the amount of bells needed for each public work project, but hey, it gets you playing again! Getting friends to help you earn bells makes things more fun too.

Definitely set little goals for yourself. If you really want to play (rather than feeling obligated to play), take it one step at a time - like, don't overwhelm yourself thinking of ways to organize/plan your town or come up with themes or anything (unless you're super into that and it would drive you, in which case, knock yourself out, have a ball!) just pick little things to do. If you want certain villagers, focus on trying to obtain them again. If you want certain PWPs or have one on your list that you really want built, focus on getting it built / raising the money for it / prepping a good location for it. If all the cool QR designs out there are exciting to you, just screw around until Sable opens up the QR reader. I think it'll all fall into place for you bruh :3
