Heya everyone!

I have the physical from welcome amiibo and plot resetting doesn't! work! On what kind of things do villagers build there house? For example where trees are and the game just takes the trees away? On the bushes that gives you flowers each day, do they work or will they also move there? Hope anyone knows this, since I'm starting from scratch and not with the old physical from. new leaf. Thanx again!

(I have 10 villagers due to time traveling btw)

Thought my post had disappeared so I'll also copy/paste, however the qn sort of changes if you have 10 villagers - you either have to wait till one pings to move or you oust one out via scanning another one in.

Plot resetting works on cart and the digital version.
I have several games, they are all physical copies, my experience of digital is zero.

The game saves as you load, you cannot change the plot location once you have loaded with an existing character, hence to plot reset you need to start with a New Save File (NSF).

How you plot reset depends on how you change time (tho I think you could do without changing time, would have to think that thru).

If you change time with Isabelle at the front screen its a bit more tricky as you cannot change the time with the NSF. You have to load an existing character 1st to do so, prior to the start of the new day.

If you change time within system settings before you load the game you can start the new day (whenever you wish) with the NSF - so long as the 1st load of the day is with the NSF.

If you like what you see with the NSF then you save with that NSF character - that is essential. If you don't then when you load with an existing character the plot location may well have changed.

If you don't like what you see, then just reset without saving and start a NSF again (ie you have to go thru the Rover scenario on the train again).

Villager plots can take out trees, bushes & flowers. They can take out pathways if there is not enough space elsewhere for the house to plot.
You can make plot resetting easier if you tile (put down patterns) where you definitely do not want a house to plot.

If you google on plot resetting you will come up with many threads that will help., the above is the bare bones.

Reddit. says it doesn't work on welcome amiibo, they patched it out. So I really don't know what to do, since I have the physical of welcome amiibo...
 
Watched a streamer on Twitch do plot resetting with the NEW Welcome Amiibo cartridge. It still works with the update.
Found that it's best to set the clock before a new day. He went with 558am with his mayor and save/quit right away.
Waited till 6am to make a new player and looked for the plot. Wrong place than he left without saving. Right space than he built the house and got to the save/quit part to lock that plot in. For the wrong place if you notice they took some trees/flowers/bushes you can leave with the new save file. Switch to the mayor and roll the clock back to 545am to give you time to add tiles around those items. Wait for a new day and try again. Plot resetting can take a long time.

Villagers will plot their houses on tree, bushes and shrubs. A lot of players put tiles all over the town and just leave a few opened spaces for the houses. You need a 3 X 3 opening for a house to fit in.
