'keep your town for 365.25 days' challenge v.2.0
- Thread starter lazuli
- Start date
I don't really care about the map, as long as there aren't more than two ponds.
I mostly care if the town fruit is peaches and who my starters are.
Though, I know that villagers come and go, but I want starters that I want to keep for a while.
Plus, with peaches, you'll get cherries from Isabelle, and those are my two favorite fruits, in the game.

This was exactly my criteria too.
I wanted a town different to my last one (which had 4 ponds and apples). So I wanted no more than 2 ponds, peaches because I've never had butt fruits. And then good/decent new villagers because I've spent enough hours plot resetting and getting dreamies and cycling in the past and I wanted to just have fun.
Though I had one final want of a loop in the river to stick my house in which gave a horizontal route to my house. ~ which a fair few layouts had, so it wasn't difficult to get.

I'll usually find a good map, each time, but I'll end up with oranges or pears, most times.
Or the starters are either ones I'm not interested in right now or ones that I've had before.
I want all new villagers this time around. I wish I didn't know every villager's name and who they were.
So, that it would be a surprise each time.

Yeah, that was how I was, been playing AC for over 10 years, there's not many villagers I haven't had at some point.
Though I had completely forgotten who Frank was, and quite liked him, which is what decided it for my town. Someone new!
(And the other villagers all fit the criteria of Not Opal or Vladimir / several others.) You could always just pick ~passable~ villagers and then plot reset for smugs/uchis, seeing as a lot of the new personalities are new villagers this time around, most people haven't had more than a handful of each.
One the topic of 365 challenge, I spent 4 hours plot reseting for a 9th villager yesterday continually getting villagers I don't like, Freckles! Who tried 3-4 times, or people trying to move where I want my Cafe. =.=
I even pulled up a list of all villagers and determined there's actually only about 25% that I didn't want and would settle for any others and continually got plots of the ones I didn't want! ~ This all unaided that plots only appeared about 1/5th of the time.
Finally got Poppy, even though she's infront of the Town Hall I gave up caring by this point and will just deal with her bad placement because she was an old semi-dreamie I never had.
AND THEN, the Hide n Seek tour was on at the island, and dammit every single villager in 10 rounds of it I would have loved in my town. >:x
Okay! I finally found a town.
I closed my eyes. So, I didn't see the villagers waiting to greet me.
I covered the top screen and navigated my way to where I wanted to place my house, with Nook.
So, whoever my villagers were, I wouldn't know and couldn't make my decision based on that.
I also managed to make my way back to the town hall, without being able to see the top screen and
made it on down to the ceremony.
There to celebrate my inauguration was BonBon, Butch, Cobb, Cranston, and Queenie!
I'm pretty content with everyone, except Queenie, only because I've had her so many times before, but I
will deal with it. I do quite like her, though.
My town fruit is cherries, but I can deal with that. At least it isn't pears or oranges.
So, that's that.
Set in stone.
The end.
Even though, it is only the beginning.

If you want to replace a load of trees with peaches you're welcome to nab some of mine. ~ As I know you wanted them.
Look at that house, that is a nice house, and it's only been a week.
Apparently my villagers have taste, and that taste is blue and white. (and bins? Seriously I've had 4 now.) So I made a room of it.
Here's my map now. And it'll be like this for a while as I need Puck to move to place my campsite to get a 10th villager. (I don't want to buy any villagers at all with this town)
Villagers are (left to right): Keaton, Frank, Renee, Astrid, Sly, Poppy, Goldie, Anabelle, Puck.
Mostly spent my time getting some bells from the island to expand house a bit, and to pay for the Police Station. And I've planted a ton of trees, and cut down like 2 and stopped. xD So my town is getting really crowded. I keep changing my mind on what I'm doing though. S: I do need Puck to move out, as I want the campsite overlooking the cliff outcrop, and even though there is enough room there (I'm sure a villager plot could actually appear there to spite me!) Isabelle won't let me place it there. :C

Ha, cool! It is almost exactly what my very, very fussy criteria with towns was. Like, I specifically wanted the lake there, a symetrical river around house, a square cliff corner on the bottom right and for the beach not to do that weird skinny thing it does some times. 8P
What map did you settle on?
I don't even at how nice my house looks for this early on. I haven't done a single trade and I didn't take any furniture from my other town. My villagers just seem to love gifting me blue and minimalist furniture. I've actually got another blue dresser, a sapphire and a water fountain in there now.

Well clearly we both know what to want in a town layout. xD Dat river.
This was my original release day town that corrupt, I couldn't find another like it when I was replacing it though.
I raise a glass to your good mapping tastes.

big old brat tbh
I'm so happy I reset. I was really apprehensive about it but the map is much, much more convenient for me (river's basically straight across the middle so bridge placement is nice and even!). Caroline put down her plot DIRECTLY next to my house so she's the first villager I see every time I start the game, lol. I'm a little worried my house is going to eclipse Francine's though, since she moved in behind me and I'm expanding pretty rapidly. She had no idea what she was in for when she showed up, I guess

Wow! That river layout is almost identical! My release date town is a nightmare... the layout, I mean. I didn't really reset for it because I was eager to start. LOL.

Whoa! It sounds like you have a lot of cute villagers ; v ;

The Cliffs are also pretty simillar barring 1 segment. South side has 2 switched, East is the same but the ramp disturbs a different section.
I had a quick practise run town on a physical copy that delivered early. That town was awful, and told me I wanted a river out of the way. (which I reset for like 12 hours for! xD)
I just checked really quick this morning, and
Ch-Ch-Chadder is moving in!!!
He's so cute. I've always wanted him, but I never wanted to plot reset.
So, I never got him.
^_^
Awh! I really wanted him as my smug in this town. He looks so cute!

He is so cute! The mice deserve more love, tbh. Speaking of cheese mice though... did you know that cheese give off odors that are repulsive to mice? I wonder where the "mice love cheese" myth came fromI just checked really quick this morning, and

I pre-ordered the New Leaf 3DS XL but I did so online and even with fast shipping it didn't arrive until the 11th. All of my friends were already playing and I just wanted to get started. Can't really remember when I realized my river choice was a bad one, but by then it had been too late. The only good thing that came out of it was that less space meant I had to worry less about what to do with my town
I do with that I could reset it sometimes, but... I put so much time into it.I'm really happy I didn't end up with Hippeux again.
I'd say Chops, but I did find him quite funny, when I had him, in my old town.
I did not, however, know that mice find certain cheeses repulsive, lol.
Now, I do wonder where that myth came about. Odd.
Oh, and thank you, Jinglefruit, for offering to give me some peaches, but I have this little goal, where I get all the fruit in game, without any help, except from off of the island tours and whatnot, of course.
