When do you feel it's time to Reset?

[Carole]

I reset a lot because I find that resetting really increases my fun and interest in the game. I am on my 8th town.

Usually I know that it is time to reset, when I just don't feel the joy in playing the game as much as before. When I am tempted to set the game aside for a few days out of boredom, when I am feeling like my town is cramped and there isn't enough space, or when I am angry with an animal for placing his/her house in a terrible spot when I wasn't looking, I start thinking about resetting.

For me I think there's a pattern. Often I seem to start thinking about resetting sometime between the time when Shampoodles opens, and the time when the final Nooklings store expansion opens.

I have never once regretted resetting, although once I was pretty scared while doing it because I couldn't find a map that I liked right away. Once I found the right map, all was fine.

In ACCF, I had this one town for some years and then I begun resetting loads, but I missed my original town
And I begun to see people like jvgs jeff who had their original towns with all their furniture and bells etc.
and I thought it'd be awesome to have that because you could rip your town apart and re-design it many times seeing as you have all your furniture etc. and in the case of ACNL, all your PWPs

So, I will never re-set my current town

But, luckily for me I have a second copy, so on that i'd make a town and maybe film a town tour and play in it till I got bored of the theme, then restart and make a whole other theme just for fun
while still having my other town

What really scares me is that people have put posts on here of how their game card got corrupt and everything got deleted, i'd really be upset about that if it happened to me due to all the progress I made, but I think i'd cope quite well and have fun with another town

I guess the most fun part of playing the game is the process of building your town up rather than the end product
it's like saying the journey is the most fun part than the actual place you're going to

On my first town I reset because I didn't like my layout or villagers.
