Did you ever done something in New Leaf where you thought that this was the right decision but
afterwards regret it? Whatever it was a villager you let go and missed so badly shortly or choose
a spot for your house where you thought it would work but wished you placed it somewhere else,
I guess everyone ever did something you regret at one point.
I regret that I reset my town too many times to a point where I put myself into a situation where
I couldn't keep a town for longer than just a few weeks. I always found something that bothered
me (most of the time just tiny things I could work around if I wouldn't be that lazy) and instead
of just ignoring it and be happy with the other things my town offered, I reset my town, with the
thought I would find a better layout. I promised to myself to not doing this again in New Horizons,
as it was really silly of me in New Lead to not keeping a town even if it was not "100% perfect", as
I also never really got forward because of this (like actually try to complete the museum fully etc.).
I'm with you 100% on the town resetting. To be honest, I never really got to play New Leaf to it's fullest because of this bad habit. I could never keep my town for more than a week or even a day later on in the years it's been out. The starting over was mostly due to characters and whether or not I liked the town. I guess you could say I got way too picky about everything. I got so picky that I just wanted to have everything perfect from the moment I started a town to the very end of the game, but sadly, that just can't happen.
I too promised myself that when New Horizons comes out, that I'm going to pick the right character this time and just be happy with whatever town I get, even if it's not perfect. This way, I don't get bored of the game and I can finally work hard and accomplish something in New Horizons. So I understand how you feel. :/
I kinda wish I didn't do my first re-set, my town was really nice and at the time I had been bored of the game and wanted a fresh start, but now I kinda miss my old town.
I’m having a really difficult time deciding on my tenth villager right now because I don’t want to regret my choice... I was originally planning to allow Drake to move when he asked because his house is right around the area that’s ideal for the windmill but who knows when I’ll get that PWP request but I wanted to replace him with Drago and thought Pekoe would be a good tenth for my town... I always felt kind of sorry for the normal villager to not have anyone around so was going to get her a little friend I guess but Nana pinged me recently as I was shaking a tree and wouldn’t you know there was a bee so she got firmly whacked and I got stung and pissed off and decided one normal was plenty so THEN I decided on Yuka - and she’s even got a great exterior but lately I’ve not really minded Drake too much (in addition to his house placement he also reminded me terribly of Quillson from my old first town) and anyway, wouldn’t Molly be adorable so I’m going around in circles driving myself crazier. And if these are my problems then I’ll gladly take them. Thanks for letting me vent.
I regret placing my Campsite PWP way too early and not liking the location later. I was in such a hurry to get it established and I didn't take the time to plan and figure out the best spot for it in the long run. And since it's permanent, I can't move it now. Luckily, I managed to work around it and I'm pretty happy now.
I'm doing things differently with my second town. Even though I think I have a good idea of where most things are going, I'm still waiting until I'm certain before I place any permanent PWPs. You never know when something might not work out as planned and you have to re-think things.
I totally regret starting over my last town and even though it's dream code is still there, I wish I just kept it because I find myself visiting it via dream suite more often than not. I miss the whole town set up, and all my old villagers. One day the code will disappear and I'll really regret it then. I do like my new towns but I had a big attachment to the old one. I should've never restarted it. What was I thinking!
I kinda regret cheating. I went through my first full year without cheating, and suffering the unknown alike. Getting most of everything on my own. Then with the thought of how I don't time travel, I didn't want to miss out effectively making me wait another year. So I cheated. I looked up the rest. Sullying any pride on the matter. The one thing I don't regret however was just how much I didn't know. From new furniture items to certain tips and tricks, so it can't be all bad.
I regret time travelling a lot when a villager moves. I lost Zucker from that and now I lost Flora from that. >_< Oof, I should be cautious now. Agnes, get out!
Personally, my biggest regret was using an Amiibo to get a certain villager personality instead of waiting. I put T-Bone in my town to suddenly wake up the next day with his house only two steps away from my door. I used another Amiibo to get rid of him fast- but they simply placed their house a few steps away from theirs, lol. Thankfully I saved the villager I actually wanted for last in case of emergency- and now Lopez and T-Bone are gone, with Eunice living comfortably far from my house.
Another regret I have is my campsite placement. I put it somewhere remote for a woodsy feel, but then Hazel moved right next to it. I brushed it off, until I realized it was in the perfect place for a lighthouse, which I unlocked a month or so afterward. Now my suburban campsite can't be demolished.
I kind of regret progressing through the game a little too fast and placing my house far from the Re-Tail as I think it would be easier to sell things ifnit were closer.
I was going to say I don't really regret anything until I read CasualWheezer's reply.... I feel the same on Re-Tail. I wish not that I was closer to it, but that it was closer to the train station...
It would allow me to conduct trades, help with turnips, perfect fruit drop-offs, etc without the worry that I have to watch what everyone's doing since my current Re-Tail is so far off in my town.
I'm regretting the name I gave my town after seeing way better ones on here. Too bad you can't just change your names like you could in Super Mystery Dungeon.
I'm regretting kind of the placement of my Mayor's home because I can't place a third bridge in the middle of my map. I either have to stick with two or think of somewhere else to place the third bridge.
I regret letting Genji go, but he was a default villager and his house wasn't plotted where I would've like it to go. I'm not sure how many villagers I have left before I can move him back in either, I only started counting once I had to move Chrissy out for the same reasons.
That's about all the regrets I can think of so far.
My map is as good as I could find and I haven't set my campground yet out of fear of regretting the placement once I finally unlock the bonfire PWP.
I kinda regret how many years I spent resetting my town over and over and over again because I was never happy with it. I got New Leaf in 2015 and I never stuck with a town permanently until just last summer. Lullaby is the first town I've ever kept and not gotten rid of. It would've been cool if I could've kept my first town. I can hardly remember it from so long ago.
Not resetting till getting a private beach, but I still got a pretty nice layout! and also not playing for a really long time and losing Bunnie, my favorite villager I'm debating if inviting her back in with an amiibo card or not, but I don't like the fact that it takes a long time for the amiibo villagers to move. I like it more "natural", if you get me.
I don't really regret anything at the moment. Fujimori is well on its way to being done and I let the animals plot naturally and planed PWPs around that. It's a nature-themed zen town, though, so I feel like that is more organic. Gracey and Legend aren't nearly developed enough for me to even have any regrets about them yet, but I feel like I will have a lot of regrets about them, especially Legend which is going to be a heavily urban town.
I regret forgetting the QR codes for my favorite path. I used it in my first town but lost it later. I've searched for ages but I just assumed it was put on a forum that was deleted. I'll miss that path.
I'm debating if inviting her back in with an amiibo card or not, but I don't like the fact that it takes a long time for the amiibo villagers to move. I like it more "natural", if you get me.
