How to rekindle my love for AC? :/

[Kingslickstar]

I've just been out of the loop and just havent really felt like playing AC at all and i used to love playing. Wish i could find a way to get back into it :/

I get how you feel. I haven't really been into Animal Crossing myself lately. Here are a few things you might want to consider doing!

• Complete your museum
• Redecorate your town
• Redecorate your home
• Replace all or a few of your villagers
• Go to the island with some friends
• Invite friends to your town (or go to theirs) and just mess around
• Visit a bunch of towns in dreams
• Design some clothes
• Reset your town for a fresh new start

I hope you have fun playing again!

Just play it occasionally for twenty minutes or so a few times a week, that's usually what gets me back into it along with discussing it with others or just having fun with people.

Draw or look at fanart, listen to the soundtrack, little things like that. You could try playing one of the older games if you own any of them!!! I sometimes whip out population growing when I'm sick of ACNL

My town changes depending on the season - I placed some dead perfect fruit trees throughout the town, and now I'm working to replace them all with regular saplings. For designs, I usually get inspired after browsing Tumblr dream crossing blogs! Those projects are large enough to last me days, even weeks. I recommend looking up QR codes for clothes too - you can usually find something that matches your current mood, you know?

I also recommend just helping people out with finding items and whatnot. Find the right people to play with, and you'll find new purpose in what you do in the game.

I generally start over.

One of the easier ways is a drastic change e.g. If you're in it for fishing and the museum why not try sprucing up your house better yet your own outfit.

I apologise if this doesn't work for you but I find that changing these things makes everything a little bit more exciting.

You want to rekindle your love?
Set the cartridge on fire!
Ok bad jokes aside, pretty much what everyone else already said, I don't think there's some other innovative way

 

[pearly19]

All of these suggestions are pretty awesome! I also like doing giveaway, looking at other peoples dream addresses and discussing town landscaping or villager favorites! I think the best part about ACNL is that you can share your creativity of designing your town, making patterns or clothes through the QR machines!

Make new friends to play with, I always love playing with people, it makes me like the game that much more, and I even have become close friends with people I've met on the island or on here. Restarting helps, I just restarted the game I lost a long time ago, and found the most perfect set up ever, and now I am even more obsessed!

Just do what you loved most about ac and all above. Maybe, when it's out, get the wii u version

Don't try to rekindle it and the fire will come to you

I quit playing animal crossing for about 1 1/2 years because i had finished everything (gold badges). But I was trying to re download my game to my new 3ds and I lost my saved game. I initially was just trying to recover my game, but ended up creating a new character and starting over. It was slow at first, but slowly drew me back in. My suggestion would be to start from the beginning, and challenge yourself with not time traveling at first. Just use the forums to get things you need. And it will rekindle the fire

Try playing another game that is really really REALLY hard. Like something that takes a lot of concentration or has really intense competition to it. After you get to a point where you're mentally exhausted from playing or filled with rage from dying/losing over and over.... go to Animal Crossing lol and R-E-L-A-X

 

[trashbugs]

i rekindled my love by restarting my town!! redoing everything was really refreshing for me and everyone can use a fresh start once in a while! also try:

museum collecting!
growing hybrids! try and grow them all!
collect dreamies!
expand your house and get matching furniture sets!

these are what got me back into it, and now i play for like 2 hours every day! haha

 

[cosmic-latte]

Try to build all the PWPs and really develop your town!

 

[Mayor Henk]

I rekindled my love for ACNL by starting anew (got corrupted save data). It's refreshing to have a new set of villagers and a new layout.

 

[jacey.sunshine]

If you have a second cartridge you could have dream town scavenger hunt like thing with a theme? of some sort? then save and reset maybe? you could cycle a bit to get rid of some villagers even.

 

[Hypno KK]

If you're just really bored, there's nothing wrong with taking a break. It might make you have more fun when you go back to the game later (just make sure you're careful to avoid losing your villagers).

You could try to redecorate your town, complete your museum, collect all the gyroids, get everything catalogued, change some of your villagers, get all the badges, go on some Island Tours with friends, start as a new character... there's a lot to do.

 

[Fearthecuteness]

I haven't played mine for about a year and I'm only just getting back into it. Don't worry you're not the only one. The thing that is going to help me is the fact that I finally got a villager I've been wanting since I first got this game so I'm determined not to loose him.

start your town all over again​
