I'm planning on restarting my island on the 1st January 2026, and I wondered if anyone else is planning on doing the same? I restart my island a lot (3 times this year!) but I'm setting myself the challenge of keeping my island for the whole of 2026. With the new update coming, it feels like a nice time to do this too, since many people will be coming back to the game after a little hiatus.
I'm not going to be too fussy about the map I get, but I'm wanting either peaches or cherries and a blue or yellow airport. I also need the largest peninsula as I always put my house on it! Other than that, anything goes.
I'm a bit stuck on an island name, so I thought I'd do a poll to see what others think.
1. Lilyacre - I've called my town/island this since New Leaf, and as much as I love it, I feel like it might be time for a change, to really set this island apart as my 'forever island'
2. Nutshell - I just find this one really cute
3. Sprout - I've never used this, but I think it sounds super cute.
I never do themed islands, but I guess if you had to say a theme, it would just be 'minimalist' and 'natural'. Think log furniture, easy to navigate paths, and lots of places to sit and enjoy the natural scenery.
Anyway, enough rambling!
