Your experience plot-resetting an incoming villager

[Candy83]

Over the last two/three days, I've been plot-resetting an incoming villager into my new town.

So far, I'm not accepting any of the would-be locations (the attempts) because it goes against the pattern flow I've presented with paths. (It's like a template.) I don't want the house plot being one or two (north or south and/or east and west) slots from where I'm accepting new villager houses.

I'm not at this for too many hours in a given day. In fact, I haven't done any of it yet today [Saturday, 08.16.2014]. I recently wrote a blog post about this game badly in need of "Zoning Control." (And "Animal Crossing" knows this.)

So, I want to ask these two questions:

1) What is the longest you're ever spent plot-resetting an incoming villager's house before finally accepting?

2) Is there a time limit (like in days) for which "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" will allow a player to do this? (I'm willing to let it go a week or so if I figure it's necessary.)​

1. Technically a combined total of an hour and a half.
2. No, there is not, as long as you TT carefully and wisely.

1. A few hours in the morning, while I'm watching TV or something...I think that was Octavian. I'm glad I did, though, because I like where his house ended up. I don't keep exact spots (meaning I leave a few spaces on every side when I can) for the reason that I don't want it to take to long. There are only a few villagers where if they left I'd need the next one to be in the exact spot.

2. If you TT back, probably not.

1. Maybe 2 weeksish I am still going. Punchy is making me so mad
2. You can do this as long as you want as long as you don't load your mayor. You can tt back and still plot reset. But if you go to the day you invited them. They won't be there and it's safe to load your mayor on that day and that day only.

I've been plot resetting Marshal since Monday noon. He's been as close as on tile off, but ughh I want him in a specific spot.

The longest I've spent plot resetting for a villager is probably a week or so.

The Longest I've plot resetting was for 1 - 2 hours I think it was for Cherry? or was it Julian? Eh its one of the two let's just say that. People already answered number 2 so I don't need to answer it
