Trying to back into acnl, but where to start (alt title: reset?)

[unintentional]

After I got my dreamies, paid off all home loans, made my town covered in roses, replenished all stolen hybrids, the game was no longer fun. The game became anxiety inducing because I focused my happiness in real life around my villagers (weird, yes. However, as someone who spent 80% of her life in the hospital, there's not much else you can base it off of.) It was no longer fun, and I stopped playing. About 2 weeks ago, I watched KittyKatGaming play acnl with her friends, and tried to play mine again. However, I couldn't find it enjoyable. I'm considering resetting, since getting bells (and villagers and flowers) isn't that hard. But all my hybird/carnation flowers are what's stopping me. I guess someone could hold them, but that scares me. But the thought of starting over makes me feel happy. However, I made my town while I was in the hospital (and it seems like my platelets are doing fine now ) so it means a lot to me.

Should I just restart?

Your town obviously has a lot of emotional value to you, so I wouldn't say to reset... You could always buy another cartridge, if you have the funds, and put a sticker on it to let you know it's the secondary. If you can't do that, then I don't know... Resetting is your own choice, SJ.

Hi!
Here's what I think. I completely understand that making the town while you were in the hospital can mean a lot to you. But look at it this way. Even if it does mean a lot to you, if it's no fun and even stressful to play anymore, I wouldn't say it's worth keeping as much anymore. If you can't find it enjoyable and restarting it would change that, then my best suggestion would be to go for it, restart your town and have fun with it again.
In regards to all of your hybrids, I'm not sure how many you have, but I'd be willing to hold onto them until you can take them back. I know that's putting a significant amount of trust in me, if you'd prefer not that's okay. But if you'd like to I'd be willing to help. Hybrids are kind of a pain of breed a high amount of in my opinion, while restarting the town might be nice, losing so many rare flowers might not be.
The final decision is all yours, though. I would just say do what makes you happy.

If anything, maybe you could look at your new town representing how you're doing better now? Just a thought. Up to you!

I do have another cart (with a big number two on it) and for some reason that thought never occurred to me ;w; Thank you


I have chose to reset my first town. I have the dream code, which is enough for me

If you're not longer happy about it or feeling any sort of excitement, I'd say reset. Then again, Animal Crossing is all about leaving a parallel life of your own in a town on your 3DS, so I'd say perhaps resetting would go against that, despite the reset having nothing bad to it.

However, if your town is sentimental to you and you think you'd feel worse letting it go than better when starting a new one, then perhaps you should keep it.
