Reset Remorse?

[Adriel]

do you ever feel remorse for resetting your town? i reset my town from launch 4 years ago and to this day i regret it. i still feel like it was an okay town that i impulsively reset to make a better one. even then i ended up resetting after that.

I deleted my town from the only digital copy I had of New Leaf at the beginning of this year. It was a cute town called Macaroon and I had it since I bought the copy in December 2013 (I also have three cartridges of New Leaf, two originals and one Nintendo's selects range in the Welcome amiibo updated version.)

I really wish I hadn't deleted the town because, I had T.I.Y, some cool villagers (especially Flora and Tia) and my gold furniture series was complete, plus I had the 7/11 furniture set from a friend. I didn't move those items to another town and I appraised the town and only got a small amount of bells from it (I play the cart versions the most.)

I also impulsively reset my cartridge versions and eventually end up abandoning the towns I create. Maybe I don't have the time to play like I used to, but having a fresh town is a great feeling...I love starting New Leaf again haha~

i reset my first town, and i always think about it. even though the river wasn't that great, and Re-Tail was in a bad spot next to the campsite, i loved it. i find myself looking for new towns with the same basic layout

Sometimes I do, but it's definitely a case of the grass being greener, as the saying goes. If you reset your town, chances are there must have been a good reason for you wanting to do so in the moment. I actually reset my town a couple of months after New Leaf released (from my launch day one) and I am definitely much happier with how my newer town progressed.

I reset my first New Leaf town after around 3 months because I found out that the questions in the beginning determined my appearance and I absolutely hated how my mayor turned out. I fought with myself over it for a while because I was already attached to the town itself and the progress I had made, but then decided I didn't want to put any more work into it when I was unhappy about my mayor's face, which was something I could never change. So I reset and while I do wish I still had my first ever town, I knew that I would always be unhappy because of the eyes I got and I don't think the sentimentality was worth the sadness it gave me. So I don't really regret it at all. If it isn't making you happy, I don't think it's bad at all to start over and reset.

I used to always feel a little remorse after resetting, but now I have a main town on my cartridge that I never reset and a digital copy where I reset all the time. It's worked out well for me given that I really enjoy both the familiarity of an old town and the excitement of starting over.

I've only resetted towns that I wasn't happy with so I don't regret having reset them.

I reset so often that I don't have remorse anymore. I'm going to keep this town until New Horizons though.
