how's plot resetting going for you?

[sleepey]

amiibo scans are the worst to plot reset. the worst!! twiggy kept plotting in this One Spot that wasn't ON my path but like.. if she were to actually move in, it would remove the pattern in front of her door!!!!! it was so annoying!! i'm not sure how many times i plot resetted for her to go somewhere else that i had designated for move-ins... another amiibo scan, grizzly, moved in Directly on a path, but it was a 1x1 string of patterns.. i'm guessing that makes a difference??

anyway, i got molly from a friend and she was the easiest and the BEST to plot reset for!!! she at first insisted on this one spot that would, again, nullify the pattern in front of her door... but she eventually plotted in this designated area i had outlined in patterns. it was so great!!

some things i've noticed about how move-ins treat patterns
- they've never plotted directly on my 2x2 paths
- they've plotted on an area where i had a single pattern & a 1x1 string of patterns
- they don't plot directly on your 2x2 paths but might plot right in front of them, nullifying the pattern in front of their door
- if you bar areas you don't want to be plotted on with patterns and make "designated plots" with patterns, they will easily move into those designated areas (if they're from another town, not an amiibo scan)

underlined x's denote non-path patterns i used to designate specific "plots"; bolded x's are my path
^ this is where molly moved in after i put patterns around town!!

I've found the not plotting on QR's to not always work. It's how Claude messed up my town initially, there was a space plenty big enough and the house next to it was in the same area and went there fine. Just nobody would go in that space. Still no idea why...so instead Claude went on my paths. Had to change his plot and I haven't had that problem since. Just something to be aware of though

I haven't even attempted to plot reset amiibo move ins, I just moved villagers out the normal way if I wanted to change their house location then blocked the area with patterns. It was just taking too long as the amiibo move ins kept trying to go into the old villagers space

I was very successful moving in Blanche (got her from an amiibo card). They don't move over any kind of patterns as long as there is another possible space in town.

I just lined where Blanche wanted to go with patterns and sprinkled patterns around town where I thought she could plot as well. Jumped to the next day, new save, checked where the plot landed, TT'd back a day, added more patterns. Rinse, repeat, until she plotted on her exact spot. Took 10 minutes at best.

Plot resetting Has always gone well for me in this town, my secret is paths lined in a 4x4 area where I don't have pwps and just place yellow benches everywhere. My town has villager districts of 4-2 villagers all lined up neatly and precisely, ppl gon' think I hacked but Idc!
