So I’m STILL thinking of resetting but it really scares me. Maybe it’s just that I’m not creative and/or really bad at terraforming and decorating but I really don’t like my island and feel like I need a fresh start. One of the main reasons why I would like to reset is the placement of my airport and RS. The RS is too close to the airport and I think it would be easier to design my island if my airport would be in the middle instead of on the right side.
I don’t get much enjoyment out of the game anymore and while I know it may sound ridiculous I feel a bit “burnt-out” overthinking my island so much...
The reasons that hold me back from resetting are that I started during the lockdown back in March together with a friend, my museum progress, my villagers and the bonds with them, the fact that it’s the island I picked while knowing almost nothing about NH (played CF and NL in the past though) and I have OCD so that makes it even worse resetting because I’ll probably overthink all of it. Including even the date I reset my game. It’s hard to explain...
I know it’s my choice but I want to get as much insight as possible before making the decision and avoiding instant regret.
I’ll even show an image of my lay-out. Don’t mind the red circles. They were for showing a friend some of the things that can’t be changed.
if you're feeling too attached to your current island it's worth reconsidering if you really want to reset...one thing you could do is try to reframe your RS/airport placement as a challenge to work around instead of an inconvenience, if that makes sense. plus you can always redo terraforming if you don't like how something's come outSo I’m STILL thinking of resetting but it really scares me.

okay.... here's a dumb question. Since cloud save will become a thing. If I save it via cloud and restart my island. I keep it in 'airplane' mode if i do like the results can I retrieve my cloud save to overwrite the reset?
We won't know until more details come out. From what I understand there's two cloud saves. One for recovery and you have to contact Nintendo support and one you can use like any other switch game. The former is what's coming out soon and the latter is coming out at the end of year.
I have been going through it for the past like... month ugg.
So I played waaayyyy too much when NH came out, TTed a bunch to get furniture/materials/etc., terraformed like CRAZY, and abused the stalk market so I literally have never had to worry about making bells.
I terraformed so much over and over/flattened my island like 4 times now and never pay any attention to my villagers so at this point I don't feel connected to my town at all :c I'm not happy with the way I've structured my island and don't bother to talk to any of my villagers despite loving a few of them in general so I just... don't really play. I'm not sure how to change my map/terraform so I will like my town and feel like the only way to figure it out is by resetting and taking it more slowly from the beginning again.
A huge reason, aside from me butchering my town and having 0 ideas, for me resetting would be because i have been going through a LOT of life changes in the past 2 months and I feel like the game should reflect that as well? I just have the feeling I need to change everything in my life atm and animal crossing is definitely something that is easy to just start over fresh with in comparison to my actual situation atm. (I am moving to a new state/graduated college/am starting a new job with only me myself and my dog!!!)
If I did reset I would leave a lot of my favorite clothing and furniture items on my sisters island and just tt so I can run and pick them back up from her asap so I wouldn't be loosing ALL of my progress. (mostly seasonal items like the wedding event, hard to obtain items, and gifts from friends!!!) debating on if I should make the start date the 20th or go along with my "new life new me" type trend and not care although I will definitely care lol
Do you think its worth it??? I honestly cant decide ahhhh. who let me terraform and make major life decisions???? ;;
Side note: nintendo please make a "return my island to normal" option in the future to set the island back to the default map after terraforming too much
If you want your island to return to default, if you have a screenshot of the original map, you could always terraform it back to default or have someone draw up a random map in Happy Island Designer for you and you terraform the cliffs and water.
If you don't feel attach to your villagers, maybe it's time to kick them all out and start with new villagers you find or campers so it feels fresh? Is the terraforming just overwhelming?
this isn't a "don't do it" but now that the dream suite is finally out you should save your island as it is now and write the address so you can see it again.Well I think I’m actually going to reset tomorrow. If anyone has reasons to tell me why I shouldn’t, now’s the time haha.
