The Resetting Thread

[Lilyacre]

I will be restarting my island on either Wednesday night or Thursday morning, when the update+upgrade drops for me. ^_^

Restarting after the update will make it so much easier when you have to craft all the items for the 3 homes! Now you can pull from storage so you don’t have to carry loads of supplies to craft everything needed.

I’m also curious at what point the hotel is unlocked when you restart. I’m assuming it’s not there straight away, and you just get a normal pier until the tutorial part of playing is over? You’ll have to let us know!

As far as I know you need to get to after K.K slider’s concert. Since if I remember correctly Kapp’n doesn’t show up until after. So maybe after Brewster?


I started a new island on my switch 2 on Jan 1st. I did prepare for it by starting a new character on my switch lite island. This way I can get her some helpful DIY’s and get terraforming. I spent most of the time terraforming so I can place the houses and shops when I get to them. My 5th villager moved in today. I got the museum tent yesterday and have Nook’s Cranny. I still need to upgrade RS and get Ables shop.

I restarted on the 1st Jan too and when the update released early yesterday, I had just unlocked Kapp’n, so both Kapp’n and the hotel appeared together. I wonder if that’s going to be the case for any islands restarted after the update. I don’t have Brewster yet, so I think the hotel will come before the Roost

That’s so good to know thanks. I am a way off from getting Brewster since I really like the tent Blather’s is in and wish we could keep it. I also still need the campsite .

Yep, that’s one of the reasons why I did restart— I wanted to experience the update and the upgrade pack from the get-go. ^_^

The hotel isn’t there from the start. It wasn’t even on my previous island when I booted the update up yesterday morning. I heard people saying that you need three stars to get it.

I restarted for the update, got the hotel and decided i didn't actually like it, plus I wasn't liking how my island was going and didn't feel like tearing everything down to redo it all, so I reset again and I'm much happier with my new island already. I have better plans for this one so fingers crossed I keep it lol

I'm gonna miss my exterior designs but it's all for the best Running around the island feels so nice again without the lag from having a bunch of furnitures and fixtures displayed outside.
