i’m honestly so unhappy with my island‘s layout, so i’ve made the decision to restart! anything i should know or have to do before restarting (+ the process)?
 
While I have never restarted, I would think that saving anything you want to keep such as villagers, items, clothing, bells, NMT or anything of value that you want to keep, with a trusted friend is the first step! Then maybe make a checklist of particular features or items you want your new island to have and see if it meets the criteria. Otherwise, lots of patience! :) Good luck and I hope the reset makes you much happier!

ahh thanks for the advice! guess i’ll have to find someone here vv trustworthy considering i dont have friends who play :’)
 
If you have any friends who play who are willing to hold on to any materials, items, villagers, furniture etc. it'll save you a lot of time from getting those things back :)

If you have an idea of which villagers you want to start with, fruits, airport colour, native flower etc, that'll narrow down your islands a lot but could take a long time to get what you want.

There's some very kind people on the forum who I'm sure who would be happy to help! Be sure to check their ratings first if you need to!
 
you could probably post on the airport or dodo, i feel like i've seen a few posts like that!
1. spend your nook mile points (i forgot to do tht before restarting)
2. try to have an idea of what map you want before u restart (if ur as picky as me restarting will take forever)
3. try to get duplicates of diy's
can't really think of much else rn. when i restarted i left my items at my friends town and it took me a week to find my perfect island so definitely make sure u can find urs asap ;-;
 
is there a specific forum i need to post a thread on to find someone? :0
That's actually a really great question. I would say maybe the Airport would be a good place to post? I've seen people posting on Nook's Cranny as well by advertising that they would pay the host for their efforts in holding said items, villagers etc. Maybe someone can help clear it up on this thread? If not, you can probably make a new thread asking where or ask the mods!

thanks! i think i have an image of what my dream island would look like :0
 
Let trustworthy people hold your villagers, bells, NMT, and anything important that you have in the game and you can get it back once you reach a certain point.
Good luck though on your dream island!

that's good! i was more picky so i took into account my airport color, where i wanted my pier, tht extra strip of land tht sticks out, the secret beach, and even some rock formations. i was also more lenient w fruit as long as i got cherries & apples since u can grow all the fruits on the island.
ugggghhhhh, what had slipped my mind was the pier length so i ended up w a short one though i'm too far in to reset over that now :c
but these are just some things to keep in mind! c:
