Oh no not again...

[majnin]

I have a serious resetting bug!

I made Azalea and was really truly happy with it! I've unlocked all the shops on main street except Katrina, I have good villagers, everything's good. But I want to reset.

I only just started landscaping, so I wouldn't be losing loads of flowers or anything. I don't really like my town name and the layout which I once loved...well. It's a lot of empty space which I first thought was great but after exploring other towns I feel like it has no character.

My friend just got Animal Crossing so I'd be behind her again, and in a teeny tiny way that could irk me. Maybe it wouldn't.

Oh god I don't know what to do, I'm a serial resetter! I've done this over and over before. What do I do?

You can reset and do a 365 challenge, that's what's working for me.

 

[Cariad]

Keep it and use pwps to fill up gaps

You have great villagers! Just get people to hold villagers you want to keep, if you're going to reset. I personally think resetting is good, it's a fresh start.
I really hope you're going to give Bob away xD

I've never TTd to get villagers to move, so I have no idea how to do that D: But if I can figure it out, I'll definitely do giveaways or raffles or whatever. I can't let my beautiful villagers go to the void!

That is, if I decide to reset

I think I'm doing something slightly similar if not the same as the 365 challenge. Basically, I (used) to reset all of the time. I used to find everything wrong with my town, reset, spend ages resetting for a layout, like it for a few days then reset again. I got so annoyed at this that the next time I turned on my 3DS to choose a layout I just chose the first layout without looking at any of the others to tempt me. I plan to stay with this layout for a year, with no time travelling, no resetting for villagers etc. When I feel like resetting I just remember this goal that I've set myself. My town layout isn't perfect but I'm actually having quite a lot of fun with it, thinking up how I can make it look exactly how I want to. I've also been very lucky with my villagers.

It's fun, and it removes the temptation to reset(at least for me anyway).

I think this is somewhat similar to what Toeto is referring to, maybe a bit different.

This. I'm doing the 365 challenge and haven't thought about resetting once. I guess it keeps you going in the game and you don't do too much at once.

 

[majnin]

This 365 challenge seems really good, and the perfect thing for me to do.

Now to think of a town name...

You just carefully tt day at a time to get them out.

I was meant to be selling Marina after getting her from the campsite for like 16 mil but I wanted to reset so much that I just reset. I'm too impatient.

I recommend the 1 year challenge. It's working for me. I reset 5 or 6 times since I got the game on June 18th. The challenge makes it so fun - join us!

I would love to! It seems super fun. I'm thinking about calling my town Meryton now.

 

[JellyBeans]

It's a good name..

 

[Gizmodo]

Don't do it!
im a serial resetter have been since wild world.. yet with Azalea my new leaf town since July, i keep preventing myself, theres far too many shops and pwps projects to unlock and build again which i possibly couldnt lose and my villagers
You might end up regretting it and being trapped in that cycle of resetting again

The first year challenge has worked for a lot of people
btw on the challenge are you allowed to reset for plots or is it a complete natural save ?

Not allowed to plot reset

Rule #2 : You cannot and will not reset for villager’s house placement spots.

 

[Gizmodo]

Oooh that's good then

 

[majnin]

Oooh that's good then

Oh gosh, I'm sorry I already did D: Now I'm panicking. I also forgot to give away my villagers I feel so bad

Why would you keep resetting? You'll get nowhere with the game if you do it constantly.

Well what I do is start a game, love my town, and then look at other people's town layouts and names and begin to feel jealous. That's basically it, so I start to feel not satisfied with my town and I reset. Then the process repeats. It's a nasty habit.

 

[itzafennecfox]

Good luck on the challenge ! It seems to be very helpful. I'd do it, but I just can't reset my current town.
