AC is meant to be a pick up and play game. I usually take a break over summer and pick the game up again in the winter. I like the idea of being cosy and playing I guess. Don't worry if you don't have the motivation now. You'll get it back eventually.
I agree! Don't worry if you don't feel like playing for a little while, there is so harm in taking time off, especially if you set it up in a way where you won't lose villagers when you take the break. (just wait until someone pings you to move, tell them no, and save and quit. Even if its two years later, no one will have moved.) Also, mayortash, is your town name inspired by laputa; castle in the sky? If so, thats one of my favourite movies!
