Plot Reset?

[MochiACNL]

So I just got Julian today (ty Elin ♡) and I want to tt to tomorrow so I could finish up doing things in town but I want to plot reset him. I get that I shouldn't load my mayor but do I tt to tomorrow at 5:59 (or 5:55 just to be safe), save and quit, wait until 6 am and then create a new character or do I just have to sit and be patient, lmao?

What I normally do to plot reset is go to my 3DS date and time and up the date by 1 and then go to the AC game and start new character without ever loading the mayor.

What pandapples said. Go into your 3DS system settings and change the date to one day ahead of what it's currently set to. You don't have to change the time, just the date. Then load up acnl, make a new character and check where Julian's plotted. If you like where his house is, get to where you can save, then you can delete that character :3

ah, I would do that but I have my cycle town as a digital copy and I don't wanna screw up the day (?∀`)

would changing the day back to when the villager is still in boxes do it? i'm probably confusing I'm so sorry lmao.

Yep the technique you posted in the OP is how you did it exactly through the in game clock. I'm not 100% sure if you can reload the aame day you got him. I know if you reload the day a villager is in boxes that villager will be gone on that day, but for moving in a villager I am not sure sorry Maybe just go to tomorrow at 5:5am?

Yes just set it before 6am before you start plot resetting, since you can't use the 3DS clock. You will be safe to load up on your mayor before the day officially starts at 6am. Then just save and quit fairly quickly and enjoy plot resetting
