Just got Marina and im so excited to see her move in. With that said, she just plotted 1 spot away from where I want her and I just hate that moment where youre like "Should I do it? Am I being too picky?? Will I get anything this close for the next 5 hours???" but no! I refuse to compromise!! A tragedy.

Anyways tell me about your plot reset struggle : )

OH. All the time. Most of the time I just settle for where they go. I'm kinda impatient with repetitive stuff such as plot resetting.
 
The worst part is she keeps plotting in exact spots where I want other future villagers and i keep trying to think, maybe I could just switch their spots but again.. I REFUSE TO COMPROMISE

I definitely have done this lol but Ive been putting so much time into redoing my town I dont want to mess it up just because I was feeling a little lazy v_v

Ugh. This was me earlier trying to plot Beau. He was one space away from where I wanted it, and I just got done not long ago. It took hours.
 
Agh v_v just so frustrating. Another thing that worries me is that she isnt even close to some areas that I want future villagers to live in so im scared itll take super long for those spots LOL

Yeah, I can relate. This happened a bunch of others times as well but I didn't take any screenshots.

I love these photos! I totally relate. TOTALLY.
Sigh. I just got Fauna for the first time ever and she plotted in weird spots so when it was in an acceptable area I went for it.
That was yesterday; now she's out and about in town and I'm changing the landscaping because the houses nearby aren't parallel anymore because of her house.
SIGH.
(Insert Shrunk "Sighing joke" here)
 
lol call me terrible but it makes me feel a little better knowing people feel my struggle.

GOOD NEWS THO! MARINA FIT INTO A GOOD SPOT :D
 
I was complaining to anybody who would listen the other day about Beau...he took a good 7 hours to plot :( he got so close on 2 ocassion a bit I just kept thinking 'next time, next time'. So after 7 hours I'd had about enough and just let him plot as near as possible to where I wanted him (the place Erik moved from). He's one square out to the right and one square backs urther tahjni would have liked. It hasn't worked out terribly though as I've redone all the area around his house now and it looks better than it did before. But God knows if I'm ever going to get a new villager again after that. So wish we could have an easier option when plotting their houses
 
after 2 days of trying to plot reset beau i just gave up and left him behind some trees in a random place lmao
literally you cant even see his house lol

I used to follow this technique all the time until I was fed up of being too picky and eventually gave up.
 
This is why I'll always appreciate the extra effort people have put in to get their villagers in perfect spots x_x
 
It took me almost 2 days to plot Bettina. For most of the first day she refused to go anywhere near where I wanted her, then the second day she would go near the right place but never right in it. It was a big empty space too! I finally compromised and moved my orchard back a few spaces, I actually prefer it now so she did me a favour in the end lol.
 
Oh you have no idea what I've been to for the past four days. I want is for Blaire to be as close to Mint as much as possible but jfc it's just so frustrating to get the same freaking spot or area everytime! I read on a guide that turning your 3ds off completely will break it but nope! :mad:

I'm worried if I spend another couple of days doing this one of my neighbors will move out. :s

When you get to that point almost every superstition/rumor you read about online is worth a try lol! I want another dream villager but at the same time I dont want to plot reset T_T
 
I plot reset a couple times and honestly I found that it wasn't worth the effort (for me). I've never been one to do intricate paths and the like in my towns, so honestly my biggest worry was just that they'd put their houses on my hybrids.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ONE SPOT OFF HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
 
My longest plot resetting was three days... It's not fun, but when they're eventually in the right spot it just makes it so worth it.
 
I think I'm doing wrong. Every time I plot reset, it's a new villager. (On the bright side, it got me Fang and I'm really happy ^u^)
