Serial resetting is the saddest thing

[majnin]

Sorry if this is supposed to be in the resetting thread ~ I just wondered if anyone else feels the same way. I constantly feel the urge to reset, but having to start again with unlocking everything becomes so exhausting. I end up just upset and lost because even if I bought another game, I'd have to go through unlocking everything again. But I'm just not satisfied with my town right now!

Anyone else get this?

I'm like this now.

Every day I just wander my town and think, nothing would look good here. nothing fits here.
then I'll consider resetting for hours. the only thing that is stopping me is having to transfer literally all my items/hybrids/clovers (the clovers would take foreverrrr), even some villagers over to my cycle. then transfer back.
ugh. and then unlocking the pwps and shops again would suck as well.

Everyyy day I get a little more into the idea of resetting though. I feel ya.

Exactly :/ for me I've reset so many times that unlocking the shops again makes me want to curl up and never look at the game again. And then I think, that's not really the point of AC... it's supposed to be chill.

This is basically my entire ACNL career, I've been playing since late 2014 and I don't think I've ever kept a town for longer than a month... I just get really frustrated with what I've done with permanent PWPs and landscaping, and I'm always too scared to ask for help on here. :c

I feel exactly the same way, I'm not intirely happy with my town but resetting it would be so much hard work...

I do the same thing with my second town, which was actually my original town. I had it for more than a year, but after the first reset... Well, I just keep finding reasons to start over again. I found a really great map (which I say every time, LOL) and I'm going to try to stick with it. I actually took a 2 month break, so maybe now I can stay focused.

 

[p e p p e r]

I really wish I could change my map now... when I first set up game in 2013 I didn't know that you could get so many different maps - I thought the choices they gave you were the only ones - if I would have known that you just restart and get more choices, I would have spent more time looking for a better one, but I've just put too much time into my town reset (and I have a 100% catalog as well) so I'm just going to work with what I have...

I've had the game since it was released and I don't think I've had a town for more than half a year at a time. I reset my first within the first few months I think. I've just started to reset again now, but that was more because I haven't played in nearly a year and I wanted a fresh start. Also I have two towns, and the one I'm resetting wasn't very far along and it only took me an hour to transfer literally everything transferable to my second town to keep it. I do think once you've reset it's very hard to stop!

I usually have the reset urge whenever I play MMOs or other games where you customize a character, always wanting to make a new character, but luckily I don't feel that way in AC. I find it really hard to enjoy a game as long as the feeling is there.

When I have the feeling, I usually try to stay away from the games for a while and then start a new character.

 

[ZetaFunction]

Yeah, I feel this way every time I start up my game. My town has tons of potential, and I was pretty lucky with how I got a decent map without map-resetting, which I didn't know about when I first made my town. But... when I began playing, I would just hoard. Literally, I just filled my town with rare/unorderable/hybrid junk everywhere. Now, it's chaos. Only my character houses have decent plots; the villagers are all in the worst possible spaces. So... every time I play, it's more work than enjoyment because I usually work cleaning out a little area or making one small part of my town look nice.

And when I do, a villager plots there and destroys all of my work. I made an OC with their house in front of a river, in a cosy part of the town, surrounded the whole area with blue roses, and made a little path lined with bushes like a hedge. Snake moves in and destroys the hedge right in front of my OC's house. I went on a hiatus then, because I finally got it to look right and then it's all gone.

Awhile back, I grew a money tree, and surrounded it with Jacob's ladders and mushrooms with some designs, to make it look nice. When I went on yesterday, a villager plotted there and smashed it all. It's like anytime I finally have motivation to try to rework my town, something else happens that makes me lose it and makes me closer and closer to resetting.

THIS IS ME

omg i keep having the urge to reset bc "oh I don't like my layout, oh i don't like my mayor name, oh i don't like my house" and it's like ?!?!?!?! but resetting would be so hard i don't feel like getting the permit all over again, i don't feel like getting all the shops again, it's just ughhh

 

[AccfSally]

I use to restart alot when I just had one town. Now I'm able to keep up with it since I have two other towns to go to.

....but I might restart Moonview or Chocolat, because they both have the same main fruit and it bugs me a little...

 

[brookethecat]

I have the urge to reset lately because I don't like my town map (my beaches, where event plaza is, town hall), I don't like where I placed the police station and the Cafe, but I really don't want to unlock everything again and lose all my stuff and my dreamies.. Maybe someday I'll get a second cartridge and just manage this one for sentimental purposes/storage.

 

[HungryForCereal]

i dont understand why people wanna reset though..like you put so much effort and time into your town and you wanna destroy it all and start over again.

 

[Candy83]

I am the opposite.

I don?t tend to let go.

I now have a fourth town going for which I have to get more pings for Public Works Projects.

I just bought a fifth game cartridge, which I intend to use for bringing in some villager characters I will be wanting in Town #04.

The one thing I know, for certain, is that I prefer ?New Leaf? over ?Happy Home Designer? due to the bonds one can have with the characters and the feeling of life in a community. (My favorite parts about ?Happy Home Designer? are with each day having no impact playing the game and, especially, the Amiibo Cards.)

 

[Dorian]

I have only reset a town once.

It's about dissatisfaction really.. I see other people building relationships with villagers and growing their towns beautifully and I feel like I can never achieve that. I always end up ignoring my villagers when I'm WW they were the most important thing to me.

im so tempted to reset right now but the effort going in to my town just is too much

I used to be so so addicted. CF and WW I never kept a town long
I've had Parfait 2 and a half years so i'm really impressed with myself.
I had the urge to reset so bought a second copy
