What would you do?

[Brackets]

There's sooooo many threads about people plot resetting this and that, trying to get certain villagers in certain places.

So, I was wondering, what would you guys do if the plot resetting trick didn't exist? So you HAD to go with wherever they put their house. Would you put up with it, would you get sick of the game? Would you not mind, because you only started resetting because you knew you could?

Just wondering ^.^

 

[CrashTheScene]

I've always just rolled with wherever the plot first goes, despite inconveniences, like Nibbles moving in right up against the front of my Cafe.

Yeah I don't plot reset myself - love the flow of the game! but some people seem to have to do it all the time, so I was wondering how it would affect those people's view of the game if there wasn't that option

 

[Leopardfire]

I don't plot reset in Celadon, I deal with their house placements. So I guess it would be annoying for Chrome and Honeybun which I want to make into neat and presentable towns, but I'd live with it. It wouldn't be worth quitting the game.

 

[Rokushi]

I'd probably get annoyed if villagers put their houses in really bad places, like right in front of my house, buildings, or beach slopes. I'd put a lot of PWP to "block" those areas. If it's a villager I don't like, I'd move them out and hope the next one doesn't have a bad location. If it's a villager I like, I'd just work around the house since nothing else can be done.

When I first learned about plot resetting, it was like a wish came true xD I've always been upset over villagers moving wherever they want but if the plot resetting trick didn't exist, I guess I'd just have to deal with it. I won't be that upset over it, because that's just how the game works and I can't change anything about it^^ but still, I don't think I would enjoy the game as much if there was no plot resetting trick, since I LOVE landscaping and decorating my town. That's like the best part of the game for me x3

I would just let the game flow naturally. In this case, I'll be placing ALL the hybrids so close to my home and on the beach, let none be near the villagers, and if any villager happens to have one near them take it immediately. Also, I'd give up on laying paths.

Villagers always like destroying paths anyways.

 

[Hirisa]

I'd be fine without it. I breed hybrids on my beach, then arrange them around PWPs, so I've never lost any, and paths are easy to redo. I admit that I don't like it when they block beach ramps or land in my front yard, but they'll leave eventually anyway, and if they're among my favorite residents, I just work around them.

 

[hanzy]

Guess I'd have to just work around it

 

[Libra]

I'd work around it. In a way, not being able to plot-reset might be less stressful and time-consuming. You have no choice then; you just have to deal with it.

 

[Naiad]

I'd have to hide my hybrids every time someone moved in o_e
I really only plot reset to make sure none of my foliage/paths are crushed, and about 25% of my land is free space, so I don't reset that often.

 

[MayorSaki]

I don't do it, I think it's just waste of time I don't care where they move, even it annoys that they may destroy hybrids or trees you can always plant them again, it's totally not a big deal.

 

[Lee-chan]

Not if you're a perfectionist xD
I always want everything perfectly organized - same for my town. I hate this so much about myself D:

 

[poliwag0]

I don't know what I would do. Plot resetting literally makes the game 10x more fun to me.

 

[Campy]

It never bothered me in previous games. But I also didn't use paths or made orchards or anything before NL, either. So there wasn't much of importance they could destroy. If I hadn't found out about the plot reset trick, I probably wouldn't have bothered with paths in the first place and just gone with the flow.

 

[ZJP91]

i used to never do it, then i didnt it once and now i cant live without it.

i would die

From the list of my current villagers in my original town of Applewin, here is their seniority order:

01. Jambette?She is the original Normal
02. Scoot?He is the original Jock
03. Twiggy?She is the original Peppy
04. Kidd?Before ever coming to this site, I didn't refer to popular villagers. [My Mayor Jill] asked him, at the Campsite, to move to Applewin (which he did)
05. Tammy?Won her through a Villager Trading Plaza Giveaway
06. Julian?Won him through a Villager Trading Plaza Auction
07. Stitches?Won him through a Villager Trading Plaza Auction
08. Rosie?Won her through a Villager Trading Plaza Auction
09. Lucky?Won him through a Villager Trading Plaza Auction-turn-Giveaway (low response)
10. Lolly?Transferred from my cycling town​

Nos. 1 to 8 were not reset. I didn't learn about plot resetting until Rosie placed her house at a less-than-ideal location which, fortunately for me, managed to work out. The good people here at The Bell Tree Forums, from the below linked thread, explained to me about Plot Resetting. After Rosie, I have since made it a practice to plot-reset incoming villagers in the towns I have developing (minus the cycle town I have off to the side). I am grateful.

I got my dreamies before I started to develop my town, so I put paths around them, instead of fitting them along already existing paths, so that made it easier for me. But if it wasn't the case and I would have a cute town with flowers and paths and villagers kept on breaking everything, then yes I might have lost my temper and stopped playing.

 

[jolteon]

cry. cry a LOT
no but like i only started using the plot reset a few weeks ago and i wonder why i hadn't before because it has saved my butt so many times. i wish i had started using it sooner because i could have arranged all of my dudes in a little neighbourhood kind of area. But yeah i guess if it didn't exist i'd just be making frowny faces when villagers moved onto paths and flattened bushes O__Q

 

[Candy83]

I would encourage not overdoing it with too-high standards for plot resets. Like, that they're too rigid. I plot-reset Fang for my second town of Progress Friday-going-into-Saturday, which took me a good two and a half hours. Progress, which will need to become updated in the Dream Address to reflect the new residence of Fang, has nine of its ten villagers located on the east side of town just as one crosses the north/south bridge to the southern section. (Fauna is also on the east side of the town but, like Mayor Cameron, is in the northern section.) I created this so that these villager could more easily encounter each other. Not only that, I did so because the beach is on the west and I wanted most vital Public Works Projects (like The Roost Cafe and the Lighthouse) in that area. So, I finally got Fang near to where I wanted him. And I called it quits. He didn't screw up the paths. And, unlike so many unsuccessful attempts, he finally landed in the section I wanted him. (The game had persisted on having him on the west side; that would have isolated him from the nine other villagers.)
