Town Layout resetting is the definition of insanity.

Man, you sure? Swear I've been looking for this town layout for like.. 9 hours now. Where are my results?! XD

To be fair, it is a lot better than previous games, where you only had one map per attempt. It can still take forever though, even with multiple maps.
It doesn't help that I am incredibly stubborn, and want a good town layout with a train station with a brown roof and a town with apples as the native fruit. I can work around everything else, lol.

Ha! You think you've got it had? When resetting for Hawthorn, I wanted the following;
-Blue or Green Train Station/Town Hall
-Apples as the native fruit
-Plaza underneath town hall
-No overly winding rivers
-Room on both sides of the river for 4-6 villager houses on each side
Took me well over a week to get what I wanted...
This is one of the reasons why I try to not be too strict with New Leaf. Perhaps the new switch game will give players more control, but in New Leaf anyway so much is left up to chance. The town map, the train station design, the native fruit, starter villagers, villagers house placement, which villagers move in and leave, which and when Pwp?s are unlocked and even the look of your character if you?re new to the series and don?t realise that the starting questions are how you pick your face.
It can become incredibly frustrating and irritating trying to have full control over a game that fights you at every turn. I?ve given up now. I accept what I get given and make the most of what I can. And I actually find I enjoy it a lot more now I?ve loosen the reins so to speak.

I feel like I got extremely lucky with my map. It took me ~4 days to find my ideal map and the only things I don't like about it are the sad rock placements (I found a real nice way to work around them) and the fact that I have pears instead of apples (but I looooove the look of regular pears, and my flower theme will look wonderful with the regular and perfect pears). If I ever reset this town, it's because I've actually gone insane. I wish you the bestest luck because it is real difficult. Don't settle for less (tbh unless it comes to rock placement. if your town is to the nines in layout but the rocks succ u can work around it) because you'll wonder "What if I kept resetting?" in the future.

ive never been too hardcore w my map resetting but it is such a painnnnnnnn to do. i haven't done it with my newedt towns thanks to hacking, honestly resetting for a map that isnt terrible is just boring and takes way too much time. some people might think it's fulfilling to spend hours looking for the perfect map but i just feel like giving up after three tries.
It didn't occur to me to do it for my first town, for my second I reset twice. I'd picked a map the first time through but the native fruit was pears, which is what I have in my first town, and I wanted a different native fruit so I could get two types of perfect fruit. Then all the maps sucked the second time. I really like my map now, the only issue is I hate the blue train station roof.
I tried to put patterns down for where my 10th villager would move in and I left tons of space where she could've gone, and managed to miss one 3x3 north of the river so Eloise plotted next door to Celia. Oh well. I didn't create a new character to check so she is where she is. Of all the places she could've gone outside where I wanted her, that's the best option.

Do you have a dreamcode? You make me curious.
Not yet unfortunately! I've been trying to play catch-up with my town since early September, which has set me back progression-wise. I'm hoping to have it sometime soon; possibly within the next 2 weekends?
It probably took me 100+ times or a whole day finding an ideal map when I was making my first town. It's one of those popular layouts where the town tree is on the center lol.Not to mention, it was the time pre-amiibo so resetting to get those wanted villagers was really a pain. I wasn't too keen on getting their houses in a row so that saved me a bit of stress. Though fortuately, I had an easier time in my second town getting the layout that I wanted in less than 50 resets? I wanted something different with lots of spaces so I kind of already have something in mind and probably much more flexible. I started it after the update so I took advantage of the path trick to make the houses a little more symmetrical, which I didn't bother to do in my first.
Honestly, I don't even want my town tree in the exact center -- I just want the darn thing in an open area but it *really* likes plopping itself right up against the cliffs, and whenever I DO get one in an open area, the town hall or Re-Tail is in a dumb area I'm not fond off. And when I get good placement finally, the darn train station isn't a brown roof or the fruit isn't apples! XD
I didn't think about resetting when I made my first 2 towns, but when I made my 3rd & 4th, I think it took me about 4 - 5 hours to get what I wanted. So when I made my 5th town on my super-old, slightly busted 3DS just so I can transfer some things between my 4 towns, I thought "Hey, I don't have a town with native cherries, so maybe I'll just reset til I get that." Got cherries on the first try. For a town that I don't plan on doing anything in except using as a trading ground. Sigh.
Lol, just wait until you spend days like some people, only to find something random a few weeks later that gets under your skin.

As has happened to me in Hawthorn with a really, really annoying rock that was in the way of one of the fountains I wanted to put on either side of a path. If it had just been ONE TILE to the right, everything would have been great. But no, I can't have nice things. Even when you get a really good layout, nothing can be perfect.
