Not resetting - but rebuilding

[mousehole]

So destruction on a grand scale has begun in my original town. I decided not to reset, since my catalog is pretty full and my museum is almost complete, I love my map and the placement for the cafe is perfection... blah blah blah....

After two days of tearing down, pulling up and wiping out paths, etc. the impression I get is " OMG the room! " I had forgotten the amount of space you have in a town when you start out. Wow.

I'm going to be making the town over into a murder-mystery town where dream visitors can solve the crime by looking at the clues, speaking to the villagers and solving the word puzzles located at several hard to reach locations. I still am working on my seasons town, so this should help me not to TT when I've completed all my tasks in Misimu.

I see a lot of posts regarding resetting, but not a lot of ones regarding rebuilding. Do most players prefer to start with a clean slate? Have you ever rebuilt instead of reset?

I started rebuilding about a month ago. It was the first time I really began to plan things in my town, and I just decided to work with what I'd done so far. So basically, all buildings would stay where they were and I'd plan around them.

It takes a lot of hard work. Especially if you have PWPs that you need to move, and you don't TT. What took me the longest time is replanting all the trees though. I like putting them in certain patterns, and once again I had to plan for buildings.

It's pretty funny that you say there's a lot of room in the town to work with. Nowadays, when friends come over, they say they get the impression I've got more room in my town than they do. Guess I just made it seem that way since I started rebuilding?

Sounds like a great plan! My boyfriend was so sick of his town, he cut down every tree & bush and kicked up all his paths. He said he felt rejuvenated.

What a great idea!

I have torn down a few PWPs in my original town. I may tear down a few more. Yes, more room would be nice.

I got a second town and I don't plan to fill it up with PWPs or ever get perfect town status. Already have done that once in my first town. No need to do it again. Shrugs.
