The vicious resetting cycle.

[Hazel]

I reset for hours looking for a perfect map. I was so excited when I got the one I want... but now I hate it. I don't even play anymore. I haven't for about a week. I might just delete the town and start over without resetting for the map.

This keeps happening to me as well. I can't settle on a map so I just do it over and over again. I thought about doing that too but I don't know if it would work.

It's so easy to compare. Think about it this way - for every time that you don't like something about your map, someone else is going to love that feature. It's the little things that make it special and unique. It's easy to see one thing and get bogged down with not liking it and it affecting you playing.

This is what I would do. Start a town, and do loads of visiting other people. Just being around with others and having others over will enhance that situation and make everything feel that little bit more exciting.

Yeah I think part of the reason I enjoyed doing the one year challenge (I kept up with my town until July, the longest I've ever kept a town) was because I had that interaction with others that added to my enjoyment of the game. But when the thread died off, I found myself wanting to reset again. I haven't been able to stick in a town since... I don't know how to go about interacting with other people when my town is so basic plus I don't have a lot of time with college so yeah... Thanks for the advice though!

I map edited the crap out of my town on my spare cart. I hated it and ended up resetting it anyway. It was so cookie cutter generic. It made me really appreciate the imperfections of Lindry. Finding ways to work around them made the town feel "mine".

I wouldn't even map edit to make huge changes, Id just move the main buildings around or move the odd rock or something if I could.

I restarted again yesterday and found a map I liked but already I'm questioning if I want to keep it. I've never been this bad for resetting before!
