What's the longest...

...you've ever spent resetting for the map/fruit/villagers you wanted?

I'm trying to get back into new leaf after a 7 month long hiatus that I can't even remember why I took in the first place and not only can I not decide on a mayor name/town name but I can't find a decent map to save my life.
I literally spent an hour resetting and none of the options were good.

Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I found maps I loved pretty easily with my ideal fruit...maybe two hours? At least that to me isn't too bad considering plot resetting times.
The longest I've reset for a villager plot...was over two days.. x__x Yay for the update with paths.

I've spent a couple days trying to reset towns only to settle and give up lol

Though I am sticking with my current town!

i've never reset so i've never map reset, but i have plot reset! the longest i've plot reset for was 58 times- a couple hours worth! it was pretty awful bc it was post-update and i DID put down paths, but i was dumb and the spot i wanted them to move into was invalid.

sorry fang!

God, and I though I had spent a long time resetting. Tbh, I dont know how to reset for villager plots, so I've never done it. I only reset for maps/fruit. I mean I suppose I got some okay maps earlier but like, there were some big cons and I was like if I go with this one I'm just going to hate it later.

For plot resetting it was over a day. I tried to move Merengue into the two best spots I had ready for her, but then I just gave up and let her move into a spot that was acceptable because it was taking FOREVER. Only problem is that it's right behind the town hall, but it still looks nice I guess.

I just went with one of the original maps presented to me and I haven't changed it or even wanted to change it since, my town fruit was apples which I'm really happy with but I wouldn't have reset even if it was pears or something lol

In my current town Camelot, it took 2 days to get Velma back when I reset to make Camelot ;w;

 

[Syyy]

lol me too

I've spent two days map resetting to only settle. Only thing I didn't get was peaches as my town fruit. Cherries aren't all that bad, glad I didn't get oranges.

Seven hours? For my last map reset, but two of those hours were spent mapping one of the potential maps.
I think I took three days to plot reset a villager before though, pre-update of course.

After all these responses, I don't feel like I'm that dedicated anymore haha
I've been debating mayor/town names for the past few hours, I really can't decide on anything I like.

An hour to find Perfect Pears and retail by the train station. I finally gave up and picked retail that was down a little.

Hope the next game shows what type of fruit is on the map. Also lets you bookmark maps that you like. You can than go back and check all the favorite maps before making the choice.

I'm probably gonna do resetting once I recreate my town but after I hear all your experiences, hmmm I'm having second thoughts ahahahaha but nah I think I'll still do it anyways xD

I also wish they'd give you the option to change your mayor/town name WITHOUT having to restart. I honestly think that's the dumbest feature AC has. Even if they had it cost a small bell fee, I'd be fine with that.

The longest I spent map resetting was 5 hours because I was so desperate to have Diana as one of my starters. The longest I spent plot resetting was 60+(kinda lost track because I was really tired and it was really late) Flurry was being so difficult ;

I see a lot of people do this, now. I've never actually done this... I just start a town and grind until I get the villagers I want. And, I didn't even think about trying to get a map I really like... Hrm... Maybe I'll try this...

I restarted my town a couple months ago after not playing for almost 2 ? years to get a fresh start. I spent about two days off and on resetting. I'm pretty satisfied with my map right now the only thing I dislike is that I have oranges as my town fruit :/ I'm not done getting all my dream villagers but I've only spent maybe an hour? plot resetting. All my dream villagers I do have moved where I wanted them to after like 2 or 3 resets.

Two and a half days I think. The only thing that matters for me when I reset is the shape of the river and
what the placements of the buildings (like town hall etc.) are. I don't care for the fruit at all, even though
there are fruits with I prefer over others. Same goes for the color of the town hall and train station as well
as the shape of the grass: I happy when I get the color or shape I like, but don't be so much disappointed
when it's not the one I like. The villagers aren't that important in that moment, as I can replace them later.
