A big thing some people don't think of is that Animal Crossing is meant to be played in short sessions over a long long time. The "issue" was it releasing right at Covid when everyone had nothing better to do but play ACNH for hours and hours, which means people "complete" the game much faster than intended
For those that said resetting didn’t bring back the original feeling of the game. I wonder how much of their experience was shaped by the fact that NH released at the very start of lockdown, meaning the excitement, comfort and joy the game brought was heightened by going through such a scary time worldwide. Personally I never reset, in part because the beginning of the game it just takes so long to get set up, but I’m also attached to most of the villagers I have.
is it insane to say this video makes me wanna reset again 😭 mostly bc it made me rethink how i've treated my themed islands and that i really wanna commit to something that is my own without feeling so stressed on making something so exact
After making 5 or 6 different themed layouts, I found that all I really wanted was a classic Animal Crossing island, no gimmicks, no clutter, just a layout I liked and could use to finish the bug/fish collection. I really hope the next game makes it easier to terraform because constantly changing the entire island one tile at a time is mind numbing, especially when you have custom tiles
I reset after moving out of my parents house in late 2021, at the time i wanted to start fresh in the game like i was doing in real life. in retrospect, i wish i hadn't. things ended up not going very well with my new roommates, and the homesickness was hitting hard. not having that same town that brought me comfort during the pandemic while holed up with my parents wasn't as freeing as i had hoped. im glad i at least get to visit it in the form of a dream town. but now it feels like visiting a time in my life that was much simpler. no job, no bills, no worries, just me and the town i spent every day in, preserved forever, but i can never live in again.
I want to reset my island for a new river layout but the thought of going through the DIY recipe RNG makes me want to ugly cry. I'm on my original island and I only recently got my favorite recipes after 4 years. I couldn't imagine doing all that again without one of those Twitch islands.
Me but because I'm unhappy with what I've done and want a do-over because I'm lazy to move everything, it feels too slow and I'm not even sure what I'm doing, I had ideas but I'm the worst at exterior decorating
I've never reset and don't think I ever will. I had the luxury of building slow, taking my time, and going back to previous areas to improve them as my design skills kept improving. My island is complete now and I love walking around it. 400+ hours of care went into those areas and I love seeing my villagers hang out around the island.
i've never reset, including launch day - i got lucky with home fruit and airport colour on day 1 - so this reset energy has always eluded me. it's interesting to see a more familiar perspective on it!
I havent ever resetted my island, I am way too sceard. When the Gyroids were added again I completely empited my main room in my house to make it have the centerpiece of the little guys, this was my version of resetting. And I am so upset about it, I think about the old room all the time, like even when I am not playing the game I think about how mad I was to no longer be able to see what the room looked like before. So that's my little way of thinking about it.
I just reset my island yesterday, only because I wanted my RS centered in the map. I like symmetry and having it in the bottom left threw my ideas off.
This video makes me want to pick up ACNH again and say hi to my villagers. 😊 I havent reset at all and i began playing on the launch date. I have radically changed my island layout multiple times though. Lol
I like your video. It made me think why I restarted my first island. I now have two island on two systems. the second system belongs to my partner. Your video we will keep watching them.
i only regretted a reset once and i'm not sure if it counts since it was when i got my switch pro and i hadn't set up properly to keep my old island. I had put so much work into that island from the villagers to the house layouts and the island decor, i've restarted a few times since with the idea of remaking that island but i just haven't been able to get very far with that so far!
Ive reset once and it was actually becuase i had put a name in that i no longer identified with. I dont want to reset again and ive lost quite a lot of interest in the game though. I dont really know where to go from here. I think its mainly becuase i am focused on the aeshetics of the game too much but dont find decorating my island fun a lot of the time.
I reset once and it was when the 2.0 update came out, I was at a lul with my original island anyway so the timing felt right. I miss my old island sometimes but I love the island I have now. AC isn't something I regularly play day to day anymore, but I find myself hopping onto it once and a while, say hi to my villagers, work on some oddball thing I missed, go to happy home paradise if I feel like REALLY wanna distract myself for a while- not that nonstop attention I gave the game originally, but it's definitely high up there for me in "comfort game" I know I can come back to 😊

my sister deleted my data for more fornite space. thats when i knew she didn’t ever think about me
Thats evil
Rough. I can feel that in my bones. My brother is the same way.
if my little sister did that, lets just say i wouldn't have a little sister anymore.
Not archiving? Just straight-up deleting everything? That’s just evil.
the same thing happened to me but way back in the Gamecube era lol. my sister deleted my ENTIRE town and I had to start all over again.

I ended up buying a second switch to satisfy wanting to reset - Completed museum+diy+gyroid collections mean theres no way I’m deleting my og island 😂

"Your mother-in-law never liked me" was so subtle, but so good!

just use terraforming!
Terraform or, if you need somewhere to keep stuff let me know any you can use my island

omg the pressure of perfection is ruining me, plus with me being super anxious about everything, here I am on my 7th reset, yikes....

Mr. Resetti would be so upset at just throwing our islands away
OMG SALEM VID LETS GOOOOO
I regretted at first to reset, but now I love my Island and I'm so far when ever with this savefile:)
LFGG NEW SALEM UPLOAD
I just reset my island yesterday, only because I wanted my RS centered in the map. I like symmetry and having it in the bottom left threw my ideas off.
this just makes a great case for emulation tbh
This video makes me want to pick up ACNH again and say hi to my villagers. 😊 I havent reset at all and i began playing on the launch date. I have radically changed my island layout multiple times though. Lol
funny seeing you here salem
THE INTRO IM CRYING IT WASNT MY DECISION TO ADOPT KIDS SALEM IT WAS YOURS
Oh I've been waiting for this one 🤩
I like your video. It made me think why I restarted my first island. I now have two island on two systems. the second system belongs to my partner. Your video we will keep watching them.
"Your mother in law never liked me" in this hypothetical this means your mother never liked you 🤔
Your final challenge: play new horizons until you're happy with your island 💀
I’ve been resetting and making new islands since I got the game. It’s basically how I play.
I’ve never been here so early omg hey Salem
